Doing a combo of built-ins and racks at one end of my 'office' to hold all the 2 channel gear I've been gathering, including the Genelec 1034Bs that are currently sitting on carts. Treatments come later.

Moderate, appropriate room treatments will transform the listening experience even with mediocre speakers. Excellent speakers are not allowed to perform their best without. Here is a link you might find useful http://www.aes-media.org/sections/pnw/pnwrecaps/2017/johnston_smith_mix_jan2017/

the design will include hanging\sliding panels in front of the gear (live end) that I can outfit with diffusion or absorption as needed. Im thinking 2 panels of each right now, able to switch positions, that may change depending on measured performance. Back end of room is deep shelves with lots of diffusion. Floor is a rug with heavy pads. Sides and ceiling will need to wait. :0

Sadly, I suspect I will be watching this movie :(

Did you tell them about the guys camping out at your gym?

By 'camp out' you mean they're hogging equipment, or they are actually staying there on some kind of weird long term basis?

@ChaChaRealSmooth the LA Fitness up the street; @JustAnotherRando hogging equipment and turning it into social hour while not using it

I hate that. At my gym the after work crowd does that. At 5:00AM the crowd is serious. The occasional cropdusting will break up those clusters.

Haven't turned it off yet. Meh.

I don't stream for one, and my phone isn't very headphone friendly. As in it's dongle or bluetooth or nothing. Oddly it's the ibasso that would be first to go.

Also, I dunno if $349 for a dap would be considered "uber" priced.

oops my mistake, I thought it was one of the sony $1k daps. sorry about your phone with no headphone jack. What's streaming...UAPP and my music files.

@insidious meme, yeah started listening to them around 1990, and worked backwards buying their older albums.

I saw them at my high school in Wisconsin in like 1976. I was a junior. We were located kind of near Milwaukee and Minneapolis. I think it must have just been a convenient in between spots. They played in our gym.

I saw them in S.F. when they were the opening act. Hadn’t heard of them. Blew us away. I think they opened for Montrose. Too long ago. Sophomore in college. It was smoky that night.

Especially not if it was your cow they were orking

(I have never, ever, been able to take that word seriously ;) )

Engage operation National Treasure.

The Necronomicon

I feel so fortunate that the only Indian restaurant in the city is right down the street from us here and it's pretty good too.

I live in an Indian-food desert too.

Well, ok, I suppose I can get other stuff! ;)

give me mixed pickle or give me death!

SW? I see it as: Friends don't let Friends watch TRoS.

Yes sir. All's well that ends. It was okay.

I guess Drop uses Fedex smartpost and they handover to USPS for final delivery. Not sure why but they sent my Porta Pro by UPS. However all my previous purchase have been shipped thru fedex smartpost.

That sounds like horrible luck. Received mine 3 days ago in Sydney Australia...

Finally got em.. hype train is real.

How?

I don't remember getting any sort of summons since I was on a jury trial. But that's like 10 or so years ago now.

Yeah not since your “incident”

Dang, some people just can't be trusted to keep shit on the down low...

I suspect this figure will only increase.

Radiolab had an excellent podcast about the USA and how we sell so much of our blood to other countries.

I have donated to the Red Cross maybe 2 dozen times myself, whole blood and about a pint each time. My hope is that it goes towards a good cause and not for just profit but I have no idea after I donate.

The American companies can be trusted nowadays to screen the blood for diseases. In contrast, Haitian Minister of the Interior and National Defense "Lucky" Cambronne got rich selling tons of infected blood in the very early 70s.
