Biodegraded

This is fun. Sometimes I like to play other music mind games like 'is it possible to make extremely quiet harsh noise music?'

The "2 minutes to late night" covers made me appreciate songs in new ways. "Dead Man's Party" was done in such a tasteful way.

"May God comfort you; and you know no more sorrow."

@ColdsnapBry good to hear it's declined - when I was in Wgtn March-April it was crazy and many people I know caught it (including my father in the rest home, although he was almost symptom-free and his +ve test surprised everyone). It'd be annoying to have avoided it for 2 years over here only to catch it in what used to be one of the safest places on the planet.

@Biodegraded Yea March-Apr was when everyone was getting it. Crazy how fast it still spreads as Wellington has a well abve 80% vaccination rate and we all were wearing masks. I still wear my medical mask everywhere I go and most people are.

I think it might have been yesterday!

ha ha, nice one. fooled me for a sec.

Looks like it sucks...

Looks like a reasonable price. It was probably $8-HUNDRED new!

I was thinking "recording console." lol

I thought "gaming" console... until I decided to take a look.

In my youth we called these things radiograms. I don't know, but it was probably a brand name that became generic.

As did we in Brit-influenced NZ (contraction of radio-gramophone). My impression is that the 'console table' is/was a more common furniture item (or name for that item) in North America, leading to its wider adoption for cabinet + electronics here.

Good, I know you have wanted to see your brother.

@crenca Father too - he went into care in January so there's the house to sell, etc. Border finally opened to all overseas NZ citizens earlier this month, so first opportunity for 2 years.

Yikes! Stay safe!!

38 x 21 x 18 cm (14,000 cm^3) box for a 5 x 3.5 x 1 cm (18 cm^3) battery.

but be honest, you saw that box hoping they accidentally sent you some extra shit, right?

I once received an SDHC card in a box like that.

Thanks, but I'd probably just kill that too. 430 was only bought to see if the driver could go into the 250 (same specs, but physically different). So I think I'll cut my losses at this point.

I recently picked up k4star's HD 250 Linear. Not sure if the sound signature is right for me. If not, you can have first dibs if you'd like.

Thanks for the offer. Likely to be more than I'd want to pay though - like my sig says, I'm cheap.

That serial is now registered as stolen. Sure, you can sand the headstock and refinish with a different serial, however it is a Gibson Custom. It has an RFID in the neck joint.

Yeah, but would you ever want to play it again? Haha

"masked suspect" ...

Made for headphones.

I thought I removed only the URL referrer, but I guess I also killed the "magic wand" info. But yeah, you get the idea :P

only if she adds shot glasses.

Late to this - he actually died December 21 but I only saw the news last night. Obit on the Koss site: https://koss.com/blogs/stories/passing-of-john-c-koss

Oh wow.. he left a great legacy in the audio world.

My hope is whoever buys them never actually listens to them. It will prolong their enjoyment.

When does Princess Leah kill Jaba with the headphone cable?

I see she had to re-do her hairstyle to be able to wear them. IEMs might have worked better for her.

I was either in North Jersey or NYC a few months ago and stopped at a Home Depot - they were charging $0.25 per plastic bag... at the self checkout, you actually had some sort of vending machine to get the bag. I said f'it and carried my purchase

So, now you smell like a boozer?

Wow you already have one of those lickable taste screens on your phone?

And here I was trying to decide if the Pro-Ject Debut PRO was junk

Yeah a few of these aren't bad esp. when other best-seller lists are considered: couple of AT models, Rega, Fluance... But all these kids buying expensive vinyl for "better audio quality" and playing it on some of these all-in-one systems instead of buying digital and using decent IEMs vs the speakers built into their phones...

It's a lifestyle product. With bragging rights.

Well, OK, it *is* a lifestyle product even among those who truly listen to music. Couldn't get much more physically different to the now-norm digital without getting the band to come to the house. Or joining it.

Broken English is a perennial favorite of mine. Also love Vagabond Ways among others.

Makes me feel old too :-/

You mean Life of Bwian ?

Certainly not the funniest line, but the one I find myself quoting most often is, "There's no pleasing some people."

Ended up watching Bing Crosby's Holiday Inn & White Christmas at parents this year, and not Wonderful Life like most years...strange year ;)

Don't bet on it. It hasn't worked for me yet. Not sure my life expectancy is sufficient for that.

I'm a couple behind you on the first, but about equal on the second ... sigh
