How does it compare to your recently departed Bryston?

It has a ridiculous value for a ridiculous low price. Sounds damn good with all of the high and low z dynamic headphones I’ve thrown at it. The amp we all need but the amp we don’t deserve.

Phantanium said it best! As for the Bryston, it’s a great solid state amp, prob my fave solid state actually and can handle a huge array of headphones, has a frigging channel balance knob, can be a preamp etc. as a straight headamp for higher impedance cans the sw51 has captured my imagination

One of a kind. Great his whole career: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKPDFQRmG_M

I have been avoiding the news lately. Too many good people are dying.

Apparently Roger Ebert “discovered“ him, writing Prine’s first published review. Fascinating. https://www.rogerebert.com/features/john-prine-american-legend

no chance any SBAF member is a slut. that includes you.

Glad you saw that, slut numero uno in my book <3

Slut it’s the same as “Puta” in Spanish? Oh my... I feel my estrogen elevating 8)

... and a happy new year...

@brencho Congrats, you've passed the test, you are now a level 99 vinyl Wizard

level 100 vinyl wizard is either 78rpm or throwing all antique vinyl discs into the trash where they belong. because Darwin.

You're right, @brencho is a vinyl Mage.

@brencho you don’t pass the smell test.

I don't pass my smell test.

Came here to gumshoe about this loaner and kick ass, and I'm all out of ass.

Hell, it's about time.

Whaaat? Who is keeping the other side of the bed warm now?

Haha still my wife, had to cut the Stratus loose. My favorite amp yet, just couldn't justify the cost for the one time every week or two that I fired it up. Gotta keep priorities straight. Maybe we'll be reunited again someday.

The simpler life...

Add some extra mathematics while you are at it. It makes computer science more straight forward. I read and learn more about mathematics these days. The simpler you think they more all the signs come alive. Khan Academy is one of the best places for that...

Sheesh, all they did when I was in high school was to lift an asshole teacher's Corvette so the front wheels were dangled across the parking block.

Here in Morning side it was pretty, too.

On the Stratus exclusively these days. Had to do some headband swapping around on the CodeX but now it's perfect again.

Brent glad you got the headband part worked out. Can’t be to many pairs of those left out there.

Thanks Ray! Sounded good straight up but sound better after undergoing CodeX surgery and new headband.

Have a happy one !!]

Cheers dude, may the new table be worth the wait :))

Feliz cumple amigo! Enjoy it :)

Haha, happy birthday

Feliz cumple Brencho!!!

Happy birthday!

@BillOhio working in your neck of the woods today. Off glenoaks and Sonora, by the memorial park.

Texted!

Interesting tidbit: The last surviving member of the Vince Guaraldi Trio that recorded A Charlie Brown Christmas (drummer Jerry Granelli) lives in my city. A few years back, I was lucky enough to see his first performance of it in over 50 years, along with a couple of other outstanding jazz performers and a local children’s choir. It was an incredible experience.

Yusssss. I did Charlie Brown Christmas album and bourbon last night as well, can't believe I forgot the smoked meat.

You Californians need to make up your mind. It was a little chilly so some migrants started a fire, then you were bitching about the fire, so the USAF made it rain, now you're bitching about the rain.

@MrTeaRex Well actually smoke particles travel into the upper atmosphere where they act as points of nucleation. In other words they act as seeds for water to gather into rain clouds. :)

I live in Chennai, India. Watching people drive as if nothing is different whenever it rains is a constant source of fear.

(Or it would be if we had enough rain.)

... you filthy animals! ;)

@captkirk hahahaha touche fuxk where's my head at

BUT, OHOWIHATEOHIOSTATE
