      I get to buy a laptop for work. Budget is around $11-1200. Any recommendations? Most important is a great keyboard. I'd like a 13-14".

        If ram was more reasonably priced I would say go for 16. I upgraded to 16 in my Lenovo a few years ago because I kept getting memory allocation errors/crashes trying to run Chrome and illustrator/photoshop with only 8GB. Based on what you are running 8 GB should be fine. Make sure you get something with an SSD as well.

        Agreed. SSD is the single largest performance improvement one can make on any computer.

        An SSD will ruin you for spinning disks. But if you go cheap for some reason make sure to avoid eMMC. It has more in common with an SD card than anything genuinely high end. It is not what people mean when they wax lyrical about the performance benefits of solid state.

        U mean The Final Tour: The Bootleg Series Vol. 6? It's a great album. Streaming that hundreds of times via Qobuz.

        I would have picked one up too if I didn't already have other iems that did the job for me that the Plus does.

        How does these do for active use? Meaning jogging, walking, bicycling, ect. In picturesI noticed there does not seem to be any replaceable filters on the nozzle.

        @Poleepkwa - Nozzle has no filter. It's a very comfortable IEM and would probably be fine for active use. However I refuse to use anything more expensive then $30 IEMs if I plan to wear anything while running. But that's just me, I really don't like distractions while I do something.

        Not used an SDAC. I did have a similar issue with an m9xx, which required the appropriate 24-bit (or 32-bit, I cannot recall now) setting. It otherwise refused to play from Foobar2000.

        I'm tempted on Saturday. I preach at my church the next morning, so I have to see how far along I am in my sermon prep. But my wife said she didn't mind. Actually, a couple of these sessions push me more toward going. And the possibility of hanging out after...

        Sometimes, when It's really quiet, I can hear Marv speaking, whispering. He tells me to do terrible things with tubes. He's there in my dreams. My hands turn into legos and everything goes dark to the sound of his laughter.

        Dvorak's melodies are such a treat to listen to. Symphony 7 is great... very Brahms like.

        The ninth (New World) is wonderful. I highly recommend Karel Ancerl's rendition as he gets its tragic element.

        Fournier with Szell as conductor excels at the cello concerto.
