      When sinuses are acting up, HD800’s are a no go. Who new.

        I've only been in SoCal a few months but it was always the change in season that hammered me. Am hoping that with LA never getting cold that I'll be OK. Congrats on 32 years!

        Thanks. Hope SoCal agrees with your mind and body. Never gets cold? It drops into the 40’s sometimes. :) Oh thanks. Seems like 6 years most of the time.

      Taking some time out tomorrow to reflect on MLK's legacy. And his relevance today. Then music. Enjoy the day off if you get to.

        Yes. I have seen some of her videos. Wunderkinds is a good word to describe them. Especially Sina. She’s German. She has a ton more vids. She started to work with other young artists. Now she’s in a real band at 18. Pretty amazing.

        There's one at least on there. I used to teach at Valley. Started in '86. I lived in back of the Bel Air on E.G. Blvd. back then. Really is a small world sometimes.

      So was thinking of seeing The Last Jedi today. Rotten Tomatoes Pro reviews 91%. Fans 52%. WTF? YouTube reviews are brutal. SW Disneyified?

        Personally my interest in SW has diminished over the years. Seems opinions are split. Not in the mood to risk sitting for 2 1/2 hours to see perhaps a good movie or be pissed like I was for FA. Thanks for the input everyone.

        I thought it was pretty awful, probably the most dissapointing Star Wars movie I've ever seen. I basically don't think it had any redeeming qualities actually. Though, many fans are upset with how Luke was treated, I didnt mind that part at all. Overall the acting and scripting was cringy as f**k and very poorly done

        Seems to be a common sentiment. I watched a couple of interviews with Mark Hamill supposedly to “promote the movie.” In one he says he told the director that he disagreed with everything the director was doing with Luke’s character. And he looked very uncomfortable in the other interviews. Best line when he was asked what was new in this episode he said “it’s the longest”.

        Actually the whole egg nog thing goes back to the 1300’s. Some drink they made and then let ferment. Guess it was good as long as you didn’t die. Weird how word meanings change over time. Remember when bad meant good. So will “sounds like ass” someday mean outstanding sound? :)

      To follow up on Marv’s good CDP>Eitr. Listening to mid-fi speakers with CDP into Modi Multibit. Yup. >. But Eitr is a USB godsend.

        @TomHP I spent years tracking down the CDs with the best mastering of my favorite albums, Tidal just uses what they are given. I like Tidal for new music though.

      Was going through my power amp tube collection. Found a NOS 1958 Hytron brown base JAN 5692. Got it as a spare over 10 years ago! Good day.

      Have the Klipsch HP-3 in house about an hour ago. Has anyone else noticed a touch of amplifier hum at the start of Layla on Clapton Unplgd?

        I wasn't sure if that's what was being referenced or not. I'd say there is a little more than a touch. Thanks for bringing Clapton to my attention.

        Does it sound like one of those quiet air coolers? Also there at the start of Running on Faith I think. Bit more focused on the left channel, no?

        Heard of this. Friend had a hip replacement. No history other than family. He's very much into daily exercise. Anesthesiologist put it off due to Na levels. Hoping I can get the test TBH. Next podiatrist visit ask what cardio I can do that's safe for my tendon. Man thanks a lot. Really appreciate it.
