This world really needed his voice. It is tragic that it is gone now.

I'm busting out the really good alcohol today

Its a shame that you can't really eq wood to make it sound like a strad lol.

I attempted to wrap my mind around this. But... Coltrane = business?

Bad analogy that occurred to me while I listened to them on monks music and monk and Trane haha

I have an online CR subscription, so feel free to hit me up. Can’t really go wrong with the 3 models mentioned. Honda's engines are pretty bullet proof. My step daughter just paid off her Mazda 3 sedan I co-signed for. It’s been very reliable.

I picked up a Hyundai Elanta last year as I couldn’t pass up the price. (15k new ) CR gives it above average reliability, 10/100k warranty and I get close to 40 mpg on the highway.
I drive 75-125 miles a day and it’s been great.

@Lenroot77 Hyundai have come a really long way. They used to be shit cars 15-20 years ago but today I think they're the equivalent of the more establish Asian brands in terms of quality. Give it another 10-15 years and I'm sure the brand image will catch up too. At the moment they are definitely great cars and great value for money.

hahaha yeah speaker taps or something cheap. i either use speakers, or else portable for commutes. headphones for like twice a month when i can't use speakers. nothing too sinister, yet......

I just bought mine back, so yeah the Zana Deux seller’s remorse is real.

Man, is @Bill-P going on an amp buying spree?

it's easy being me.

That’s it. Jexby’s visa to India is revoked. A remote location in Spain beckons :)

Loyola are inspirational though, played a great team game all tournament long, made Michigan look like crap all first half.

@brencho any time, man. I used to do installation, but my current system is not integrated. Just a Marantz receiver running A Wharfedale Diamond 240 5.1 setup, with a Velodyne sub. I've eschewed atmos and 7.1 for the time being, as it doesn't suit my house.

The centerpiece, though, is my LG OLED. It's an amazeballs display

wow nice man!! i also picked up a marantz receiver (sr6012) and starting off with a 2.1 from power sound including their s1500 sub. will add a center channel later, and possibly surrounds when we move to a new space. our tv will def need updating once the LG OLED prices come down a bit more (and recovery of these purchases elapses)

I'd like to get separates eventually, but the processor has to have DolbyVision pass through.

Man, I wish I were at the Diag now

puke

Jex, watch it now...no more pics of paneer tikka !

haha nice man. condolences btw... it smells like poo there year round, right?

@brencho Texas A&M class of ‘98. Yeah, A&M thrashed UNC about like Michigan thrashed us.

Do we dream, doc ?

Yeah like I said, I don't mind, I'm an easy going guy despite my infrequent irritability and quickness to anger. A note would've been nice though. Like you said, good to be pals with the mailman. Super nice guy. Showed me and my 2 yr old his mail truck one time, was fun haha

That's just odd.

I sent the wrong Fleshlight. Forgot to message you until I saw this.

Not a clue what you people are on about. Does it involve wenches?

Always quietest before the storm... goodie...

Wenches, winches... It's all about pulling, right?




O....K.... I'll get my coat. See myself out.

Nooooo!!!!

For you @Cspirou....

I'm not hatin' on Michigan. Amazing shot! UH was my undergrad though and they hardly make the tournament

@insidious meme it *should have gone the whole weekend.

FTFY

@JK47 - 24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence?

2 beers/hr, sometimes 3. It's not a a race.

Good damn, it's a thing of beauty in every way. Also added a beefy furutech passive power strip that's actually a big sonic upgrade to what was there before.

Seems like a pretty epic piece of gear!

Wow brencho, you are not messing around!

@A1Gear I like the LCD2C with vegan pads better than the stock pads. They help the upper mids not be as dipped, and they also smooth out the treble peakiness. The piano on Ray Brown Trio Soular Energy (very dynamic sounding) is painful with stock pads but more enjoyable with the vegans to me.

Oh I see, thank you, @brencho, I'm caught up now!
I guess your Vegan Pads are like an extinct species, by now... so do take care of 'em, as they're forever gone!
This ones, right?... www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1116988-REG
Dammit Audeze, why succumb to such greedy & monopolistic plot, to sabotage the Mono rip-offs, by discontinuing your own Pads, JUST to keep us from Rolling 'em w/ M1060s or LCD2C's. Such shame!

I wonder if there is something that complements LCD2C's signature, well enough, from the likes of Dekoni or Brainwavz or umm... I don't really know of any other brands that make good Pads to roll around in. Any other options that you might know of?
Perhaps ZMF or MrSpeaker Pads, though I never tried 'em before.
