  1. It pretty much stays good. I enjoyed it all the way through.
  2. Great sounding gear, very unappealing room and layout. I would stare constantly at the bit of screen covered by the Naim Statement sitting directly on the carpet. Also, who puts a dropdown screen in a dedicated room?
  3. Thanks, Birgir! Grabbed two sets and a new headband.
  4. The alcantara pads on my workhorse HD800s are rotten and I'd love to replace them. Over the years I've always been able to buy spare parts directly from Sennheiser, but no distributor seems to carry them for shipping to the U.S. at the moment. I don't want to ruin these by putting aftermarket Beyerdynamic pads or whatever on them, I just want to pay Sennheiser an ugly markup for parts they apparently no longer want to keep in stock. Does anyone have a line on a real supplier for these?
  5. Thank you all for the well wishes, we’re safe and sound for the time being and are well-taken-care-of. We have plenty of supplies to ride this out, but I doubt we would have to. State has been really forward-leaning about security ever since Ambassador Stephens’ death in Libya tanked Secretary Clinton’s career. That might just be the shock talking, though. Would you believe I have to compete to get these assignments?
  6. Made some QOL adjustments to the bomb shelter/home office. It's seen some use these past few days and my wife and daughter were getting tired of sitting on the ground while I luxuriated in a herman miller desk chair.
  7. Just for documentation's sake, "Bridgeport" is alive and well. Doug obviously knows the details better than I, but I expect to have her resettled here in the holy land before too long. Thanks again, Doug!
  8. I've never used a Deluge, too intimidated, but I'm all-in on Digitakt sequencing. It's a fun puzzle, though admittedly a big perk for me is running it through Overbridge to Ableton. It looks like you're composing entirely out of the box. Also you're consistently putting out awesome music and I do this purely for my enjoyment, so your workflow is infinitely more productive.
  9. How do you like the 1.5 firmware update for the Digitakt? BTW, I'm very jealous of that Digitone Keys.
  10. Congrats Shelly and Yumi! I'm very pro CO meetups, even if I myself am thousands of miles away. Durango is a truly charming town, and while the price of houses now is eye-watering, you sure chose a good one.
  11. I third Macrium if this is a one-time operation. I've used it for the reverse of this, cloning a 512GB boot drive to a new 2TB boot drive and expanding the partition, and it worked very well. The free version was perfectly adequate. I don't use it for regular backups because I'm a fool and don't perform those.
  12. Not a NYC bagel, admittedly, but I adore Bagels Etc. on P St. in the district. https://www.yelp.com/biz/bagels-etc-washington I have learned bagels are an intensely personal preference, but these are the ones I dream about when I'm far away.
  13. I distrust the government in a way only a government employee can, and I grew up in a very pro gun rights environment. I enjoy gun sports, own and shoot them for fun, and love taking friends out to shoot who come from places where that would never be an option. Those are my bona fides, which only matter when I say that we need to just do this right and repeal the second amendment entirely. We haven't had a new amendment since 1992, though admittedly that one took over 200 years to ratify, so I think it's high time.
  14. Happy birthday, Brent!
