Biodegraded

When we decided to move to China I ripped all mine to FLAC and gave as many physical CD's away as I could to SBAFers. I still have some in storage like a couple of boxes sets and some that I couldn't bear to part with.

I like seeing them all on the shelves, and physically scanning and pulling them out to make the 'what to play now' decision is to me much more fun than looking on a screen.

yeah, definitely

This not only helps those of us not familiar with the item (lots of IEMs confusing me right now - ie69, IER-WTF, etc.) but also helps external searchers locate SBAF discussion of it (same reason as for the autocorrects of Schiit nicknames to actual model names).

"Bring me a beer, I'm almost done with this one!"

With that kind of hearing she should be ghostwriting your gear impressions ...

@Superexchanger check my (few) impressions of upstream gear.

Enjoy Vancouver! I'd recommend headphonebar as a local audio store, I've recieved nothing but excellent customer service from them.

Yep, bought from Headphonebar a couple of times by mail, visited once; really need to know where the good used vinyl/CD & gear shops are though...

Good luck with the move, and to a beautiful city no less. I dream of breaking landlock one day.

The Black Album was still OK in terms of mastering, compared to most of what followed...for some reason that story reminded me of Back to the Future when MJFox played Eddie Van Halen on the walkman as a torture device.

Heh - maybe her phone had a Sabre chip...

It's obvious that the cougar preferred 80s hair bands like White Lion.

Email to tubedepot resulted in the instant response that they're sending a 5670 to 6922 right away. Good customer service!

@Ringingears I'm still winding down from work - sleep still disturbed. Getting there, though.

Within 3 to 6 months I will be joining @Ringingears and @Biodegraded in the retirement brigade.

Then physics won’t be a bitch, but a beautiful woman keeping the universe a mystery. Honestly, it’s an adjustment. I keep thinking, what haven't I finished? Answer. The dishes.

You're number 2 today! Congrats and Good Luck and Health moving forward!

Congrats. I’ll have a beer to celebrate both our new freedom. Happy retirement. I spent the morning reading a book and sipping coffee. Now listening to some tunes. Tomorrow I start reading all 5 Game of Thrones books.

Congrats, that's awesome news!...enjoy & cheers!!!

UMPro20. Never tried any of the old UMX series, but from the way they look, your experience doesn't surprise me!

I had a Westone UM 20 a while back...one of the most comfortable IEMs I've tried for sure.

Westones served me well for years as in-ear monitors for my bass playing. Currently not in a situation where I require that usage.

Thank goodness for the Erection Hardness Score. Subjective boner assessment is patently unreliable, in my experience.

Schiit knew. They knew!!!

I have a half Schiit-ton of feet. Well, or somewhat less than 300. They're US$14 on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008UFJY9A/ at least for the Bifrost. Those are the official ones Schiit uses. Bought'em after I bought the black Bifrost case and there were no feet packed with it.

Happy to send a few to a friend in need.

Here is a great mixed set of extra feet:

Lol dude I hear ya. I sold much of my headphone gear after hearing the KSC75s from my LGV30.

KSC-75s from my phone was acceptable. Stepping up to Fulla 2 was significant. Maybe my phones headphone out sucked more than most.

My chain was very liquid and I'd probably have regretted getting any Fulla.

My wife just brings home rat snakes. We have no rodents. But I don't suppose you get many snakes in Canada.

@Syzygy yep, grass snakes in southern Ontario and rattlers, rarely in southernmost Alberta, more commonly in southernmost Okanagan Valley (BC). @zerodeefex my BBQ has a rotisserie.

Nice catch - caught myself 5 of those last year. Relocated about 10km away, but all in the same location though since I didn’t want to to be the cause of a family breakup. Hope they had a good reunion after all that.

We had a squirrel family in the roof a couple of years back. But yeah, racoons would be a bigger problem!

Cayenne pepper seems to have put it off the spot it was gnawing; nonetheless, the trap that worked last time is baited & set.

I feel like I’m perpetually at war with the chipmunks who’ve decided it is a great idea to dig burrows under my driveway and near the foundation, so I feel your pain. Cayenne does work pretty damn well discouraging all manner of vermin!

And NEVER after midnight!

That's some fertile earwax.

Another reason to dislike ear"buds". <drums>

The grass is always greener…

Reminds me of the Jethro Tull song "Too old to Rock & Roll, too young to die..."

Heh. I once had a girlfiriend whose favourite movie was that one - and not for the Genesis references :-0
