Bill-P

Good to see you back, @Bill-P!

Haha, yeah. It's not like I'm gone. I just haven't really had time to pry myself away from work. But I think I will be able to breathe a bit easier soon. And then more time to resume projects that I have had on the back burner!

Said this before but Discord makes more sense for banter and superfluous things. For things that bear being archived in a sensible fashion though, nothing beats an old school forum.

3Vrms indicates +\- 5V rails. That's pretty good!

I've always thought about making a small amp for high impedance headphones. High-Z does not need a lot of current so you don't need big heatsinks to use it. Seems like apple went ahead and did that.

I'm thinking of picking up a new 14" MBP for christmas - are there any measurebaters in DC/MD/VA?

@yotacowboy - I think Vtory is in PA. Too far?

I’m glad it arrived safely and I’m excited to hear your thoughts!

I bless the, thy shall live in perfect harmony

But I thought Batman vs. Superman was underrated, so I'm probably will be with you on this...

Well, I guess I'm chiming with this one because the majority of the movie was giant monsters fighting. And that's what it should be! Nobody watches these movies for Monarch or whatever the hell.

And it seems audience score of 93% on Rotten Tomatoes kinda agrees with me. Batman v Superman was... decent but it could have shown more Batman fighting Superman, with the same level of mayhem as Man of Steel. Godzilla vs Kong is basically what I wanted Batman v Superman to be.

That’s disappointing.

I figured it would be something like that. It's what the masses are accustomed to.

Yeah. I think... granted, Apple did try pretty hard, but this is still basically a grown-up Airpods Pro rather than a truly balanced, audiophile-worthy headphone.

Also makes me wonder why they didn't go with 50mm biocellulose drivers.

The Airpods Pro Max will come out just before the Cash Pro Lapse when money leaves several people's wallets suddenly.

Is that the special Zana Deux we all loved? The one you took away from us?

Btw I call dibs if you ever want to sell it.

Yeah, @Melvillian it's that one. We both know how special this one is. I honestly don't know if I'll ever want to let it go!

Yeah it’s better than a stock ZDS. It just has this sweetness to it.

Oh yeah, for sure. It took weeks to settle in... and I discovered my life isn't as "minimal" as I'd hoped. I still haven't set up and fired up a bunch of things... including the 3D printer to start the next phase of my pet project.

I hate moving. The payoff of the new place does not pay off until a month or so down the road. Enjoy!

Oh yeah, definitely! It's tiring as hell. The stacks of boxes are very demoralizing to look at... and Comcast is taking their sweet time with burying new cable so I'm stuck using cellular for work.

And death of quality

Topping all the things!

I have a GO2A std that has been on at my desk at work every day for years now, and often on overnight too. No issues. I also have a SE that does less strenuous duty but did serve for many months as my primary device for monitors, also no issues. Maybe because they don't move around much so no impacts?

I'm not a programmer and am just riffing off an old joke I heard, but if I'm afforded any opportunity to display my poor humour, especially at the expense of a shady company, I'll happily bite :))

And psh, I'm grateful for any instruction. Let's just say I owe you tea or otherwise if and when we get to hang out, haha.

And I'm still waiting for anything better in this form factor. Looking at Hel for work when that lands, though, but that's a different deal altogether.

It's just you!

India just elected a Modi. Same model as last time.

Yeah, maybe I'm just so happy to finally have a decent sounding DAC that only needs to have a single USB cable plugged in to operate (RCA non-withstanding). Reduces cluster on my desk. Not like I don't already have 10-20 other cables running all around... Plus my outlet is happier, too. Win win.

Sorry, that one was just sitting there, had to take it.

did you use the bathroom and drop a deuce?

Did he recover from his dropsy?

That might be the being married/more grown up than the being away thing :)

Listening to new music beats listening to new gear like listening to music beats listening to gear in general, are you still searching or are you just enjoying, this ties in well with what @zerodeefex wrote

Welcome back :)

Mate, good to hear from you..

Great celebrations! Best wishes and happiness!

I think Bill-p's siren song now is Yesterday...the Beatles :)

Congratulations! I wish you many happy years.

Hey get back to your corner who said your ban was over! Jk welcome back amigo.

I'm up for a Bay Area meet.

I'm up for a Bay Area meet also, and have room for 3 passengers. :)
