That depends entirely on what you believe, since she passed a few years ago. Are we allowed to get into Religion on here, is it just guns and politics that are verboten? Given you're in India I suspect you may have to reincarnate. And therein may lie the seed of a great insult!

"you're so full of yourself that you're stuffing your head up the ass of a body you used in a previous life"?

Oh, come one, @Lyer25. No need to get /that/ smelly!

Sobriety bears this out this morning. Genelecs sound fantastic through BW2. The difference between simple rendering vs presentation is exquisite.

Anything in these that can't be DIYed? Seems a bit expensive just for a switch and XLR plugs. A two way at least can be done for pennies.

Well sure. I suck at DIY :).

I use modded HD650's (KISS Mod) with my BW2 and have been extremely happy with the combination. With that said, I can see stock HD6XX/650's as being too warm. Enjoy your new toys! :)

Sweet spot is HD600

Thanks folks. I find HD6XX a little warm even with DAC1541 so HD600 it will be. I have a friend who can really use a pair of HD6XX and will appreciate them.

Haha two hours was my goal for the one half marathon I ever ran and I just barely squeaked in under it. Good luck man! I certainly didn’t do it barefoot

The race was absolutely packed all the way to the finish, dodging people all the way, managed a 2:02:05. I'm very happy with that! I spent an extra 380m weaving through the crowd.

Next year at least I'll be seeded and won't start in the last batch. I started in batch F and caught batch C by the end.

There's a nice Victron AIO that does this. It'll cope with 240 Ah. But no solar. I must check if it can coexist with a simultaneously connected Victron MPPT charger.

We will see when I build my own system. ;-) I bet there are a lot of different options out there. Just checked, 14.4 kWh of solar batteries would cost 2200€ for a company (2763€ norma price). When you have off-grid capable system then they say you need at least 3 days battery power available. That would be at least 3x that.

It's a bit like turntables and speakers! The bits at each end of the chain can get very, very expensive. Solar panels... ... ...batteries!

And the bits in the middle are not cheap.

I'm not even looking to go off grid. Just need to support essentials through regular short power cuts and would *like* to reduce the power bills during the day. Anyway, for supporting the essentials I am sorted, at reasonable cost.

Yeah I confess I'm avoiding them more than embracing them. Hunting for the 'sweet spot' is still very mechanical and error-prone.

What they tell me is that you have to commit. If you keep using the old stuff, you'll never adapt. That's what they tell me: obviously I never did.
I looked into it again recently (no pun intended), and they seem to have evolved since I tried them, especially if you spend really a lot. But people say there is stuff like PC screens that single-vision suits a heap better. I spend a lot of time in front of a screen.

Did you get a money-back-if-not-happy deal? how long before you have to swallow it? I guess... you should give them a proper chance

No, man, he's OK. He's an institution. I'd just block him otherwise. This is just lighthearted.

I also didn’t realize the context until I saw his post-a-thon which is informative and entertaining ;)

Never seen Alerts in chrome on my ancient five-incher.

Sometimes it's a matter of going landscape....not enough room at the top.

It wasn't working either way - I don't see Alerts in portrait but in landscape I did/do. My screen scaling must have somehow wonked out.

One of the few listenable ESS Sabre units too!

Through my Genelecs I preferred my Geek Pulse over a NAD C510, I thought it was going to be the otherway around, but nope :)

Yup this was through the Gennies too.

I can’t think of a better way to start the year.

That's something I started doing at like, 22 when I'm in the mountains at New years. No better skiing than 8am on jan1, just you and the snow.

I guess I aged fast? xD

Took me a while to learn :).
