Seriously. My wife was a "Verified Fan" and after using the link, waiting in a waiting room and then a queue, it wouldn't accept the code TM texted us. We tried for 5.5 hours, and then it finally worked and we got TSwift tix in a corner behind the stage... I hate Ticketmaster.

Ticketbastard!

If all the reports from recently laid off/fired/resigned employees are true, there will be no way for Twitter to maintain operations in the short term. Roughly 88% of the workforce has left, far beyond any amount of trimming the fat to be more efficient. The remaining workers have been left confused and asked to do tasks they've never handled before.

Some employees who resigned are reporting that it took them days to actually resign because their supervisor had already been laid off or quit, and they couldn't figure out who to resign to!

Here we go, from the horse's mouth: https://twitter.com/peterclowes/status/1593458225533313025?s=20&t=ovU-wMez7qS42CoLmW53Tg. No incentives offered for people staying, no vision, nothing offered but pain. This particular engineer believes existing systems can hold though.

Apart from South Park image of the dude I am clueless. What he actually did then?

I have a bunch of yeezys and have only worn one pair. Selling the whole lot to bigoted asshats at big markup

@Priidik Heavy anti-semitic verbal attacks that have also brought out and amplified a bunch more antisemites.

Oh geez, the GoT memes.

@Thad E Ginathom Free fireworks!!

Quite.

Oops, it may be the clip strip plugged into an outlet where my foot can cause a loose connection. More to come.

I’m thinking of ditching my Rag1 into B&W 601S2’s for these. For as little as I use it as a speaker amp.

CD ripping software has had error correction for some time. I have compared VBR MP3 rips to FLAC. I can discern the difference.

Let's hope we audiofools can hear the difference between mp3 and lossless. Just thinking about those who use panic mode or some other on rips. I have not heard a bad rip only incomplete due to physical damage to disk. I do recall in the olden days iTunes did not have any error checking and interpolated data if it ran into issues.

Your comment about ITunes may be why I decided to use a CLI tool some 20 plus years ago. . .

Good enough for me, I did not think there would be a benefit, just a hole to stuff dollars into.

Depends on the IEMs & amp. The Timeless like a bit of power. I can't speak to the zen dac but many dongles or portable amps with low output do better from the bal. jack. Good enough bal. cables can be cheap.

It’s only necessary if the source/amp sounds significantly better from the balanced out.

They have a 365 days return policy. For that reason alone I’d buy there if I didn’t live in Europe.

We try to be as transparent as we can. We used to offer free shipping on all orders but rates have risen and items under $100 were break even or even a loss especially factoring in other costs. Over $100 we start with our free shipping.

I also trust anything that @netforce endorses.

Among the best 40 mins of hockey (after 2 periods) I've ever seen. A very cohesive team game.

Tampa looked so slow tonight. Like the Avs were skating 6-on-5 the whole game.

I’m confused, but somewhat intrigued. But mostly confused.

I'm not a vinyl guy, but has it jumped the shark for the 2nd time?

Normally worse customer service. I had T-Mobile Pre-Paid and while it was good...it was way overpriced for my needs. I'm on Mint Mobile that uses T-Mobile towers. Don't expect the fastest speeds but it really gets the job done for me.

Considering LG is officially out of the smartphone market...it is only a matter of time before upgrade time.

I've had my Final E5000 (similar design) for two years with no problems. They are not my daily drivers though

@jnak00 What are you driving daily?

ZMF Atrium or Aeolus. The E5000 is my only wired IEM which I mainly use in bed or for travel.

Ah y'know what, looking through the manual I think the cleanbox actually only does the conversions but doesn't do dual output. The DTI will output both though since it's all tapped off the same transformer. It would be better to do that than use a y splitter because the splitter will ground the negative legs of XLR which you usually don't want to do.

I read that you can take a balanced hot, float the negative, and use the shield for ground on an unbalanced wiring to avoid using the negative of the balanced signal. Need to check the Rane guide for wiring.

it's *probably* fine, but there's a chance that having the uneven loading on the pos/neg legs may cause bad mojo which is why using a DI box is the safer route
