This love child is very cool looking in person and is the best speaker system I have ever heard anywhere.

Condolences to you and your wife and whole family, Kerry.

I found the perfect ride for @grawk

Summer fruits!

I already knew I was old but my back is busted from pulling wall to wall weeds out of our 25' x 25' artificial lawn in SF, plus pulling down a disgusting mat of a vine covered with creepy nodules coming over the fence from our neighbor's yard. Beer and ibuprofen incoming.

Woof

I was back in SF today and the green tint lines are back! Fuckers.

Awww.

Hi Tyler!

Spoken like a true gay man

More of this.

Beautiful. Steve could drive that and I bet we could set up a snore-proof chamber in the 497 cubic feet of storage area underneath the bus.

I'm sure all of that is true, Nate, and 4K will likely be the next TV that I buy, but for now I'm glad I don't have to replace the plasma.

That would be one smelly RV after a couple of states. I have been to 22 of the 70 breweries, but quite spaced out in time. When can we leave?

RIP Glen. And fuck Alzheimers while you're at it!

It's a bit late, but I just learned that jazz pianist Geri Allen died at the end of June at age 60, and that makes me sad. She was fantastic and should have played for decades longer. Fuck cancer! http://www.npr.org/sections/therecord/2017/06/27/534409838/geri-allen-pianist-composer-and-educator-dies-at-60

That plasma TV is in SF, so it would not qualify for M4KHO membership. And having been burned in the past, I ain't buying a TV with no content and an uncertain path to getting any.

Strangest thing. After spending thirty minutes screwing around and resetting to factory settings and then posting, the screen clicked and is back to a beautiful picture. Wishes do come true.

Is my beloved but also very aged Pioneer plasma dead? Vertical lines and extra green tint appear on all inputs. I checked and unplugged / replugged all connections. Here is what it looks like:

OK, maybe not.

I still want to find that guy and stab him in the eye.

I made the time but my leg of lamb carving skills were wanting.

That's Grill Adjacent

That spelling is what attracted him in the first place! Playback Designs says it is a combination of Swiss - German engineering and American entrepreneurship so how can you go wrong? I still really like my Playback Designs DAC -- especially for DSD but also for PCM -- and they have a fancy new line that is not out yet as far as I can tell. Here are links for the current one and a press release for the new one: http://positive-feedback.com/audio-discourse/impressions-playback-designs-merlot-quad-dsd-dac-syrah-music-server-brief-notes-pinot-quad-dsd-adc/ http://positive-feedback.com/industry-news/playback-designs-dream-series-quad-dsd-dac-transport/

Or really well done.
