insidious meme

At least with IEMs my notes are that cheap stuff is getting shockingly good but the upper end (not that I've been trying a lot out here) has just been making incremental improvements. I'd say you're well sorted then, hah.

@insidious meme basically the same lineup I have. One of each well regarded/reviewed BA, DD, and Planar. In the end I mostly prefer the BA, but it is good to have choices.

No longer have any Andromedas to compare, but I have some Aras on loan and really like them. Seemed a little bright at first listen but I acclimated and like the space/detail as well as the consistency of timbre throughout the FR. All BA, so cleaner/clearer presentation if you like that. Sorry if off-topic, but Campfire Audio still relevant. :)

hiby?

Most likely.

I had very little luck with a R6 Pro II Gen2; the thing corrupted 3 different SD cards and bricked itself on 2 occasions... Sound was pretty okay, at least no Sabre-Glare.

Found out. Not that big..

Didn’t like the last place we went to so a new one is definitely something I am looking forward to

Jude shadow-banned me for telling him in a one-on-one conversation, “I have no doubt that Marv, Anax, LFF, and other guys I know at Changstar can hear that [a difference he said he couldn’t hear, and had said ‘no one’ could hear].” It’s my ethical responsibility to forgive him, but I’m not there yet.

That's okay. Jude stopped talking to me when he found out I was aligned with the Changstar/SBAF group.

Rub and tug?

Nah, legalized assault and battery.

but ultimately it does work simply as a powered hub doesn't it? and it would have a better power supply than a typical hub

I think it's a heat issue with the external nvme drive I'm using. But let me rule out other stuff first.

it's not exactly a heavy read application... what could be causing it to generate that much heat?

Does it seem more like a Moode issue then?

I lose my connection to the USB drive if I slightly touch the drive. I think it’s a RPi USB interface issue.

Last time I played around with MoOde (6-ish months ago) I found it to be crappy and unreliable. Ropieee is much better from that standpoint and you don't have to pay to use it with Qobuz or Tidal unlike Volumio.

Shoot for happy hour next

Add me to the mix

@YMO dog says you're welcome lunch here

Buy my hair for $2 special

That was never much of a union to start with. Lol.

At least Liam had a response: https://x.com/liamgallagher/status/1827409289645822301

Sorry that I destroyed your toilet?

@YMO do you do international flights for a BBQ? Clothing optional since they burn away anyway. Dog will be chef, critic, security and comedic relief.

Just do what I do: put crystals on top of your gear, and have a sign that says “ONLY POSITIVE ENERGY ALLOWED HERE.” They’ll be careful because they’ll think you’re nuts.

@Riotvan i do private tours PM Me.

And finally got the Rpi music server back online.

Ha, similar problems after replacing my dying modem-router combo with individual units rented from the ISP - wireless range to the bedroom Pi became the issue.

Hard to see how this will end up lowering ticket prices. Live Nation preference for buildings they own isn't the reason why ticket prices are so nuts. Blame artists who don't want to alienate fans by charging true market value of their tickets.

Also, DOJ is incompetent at prosecuting antitrust. This is a great example: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/29/magazine/chicken-industry-antitrust.html

the incompetence is by design

Horrible but perhaps this should go in the dedicated thread. Don't think a profile post is the place for something that easily ignites a political discussion.

I don't look at it as a political issue. Just a sad chronology of bonehead events by people leading to this sort of mess.

The statistical fact is that uber driver is much more likely (several orders of magnitude) to die from a crazy driver wielding his deadly multi-ton weapon than any crazed over protective father. The father is likely to serve a small amount of time and lose his right to posses firearms...

Hahaha.... Yes, I did at first type it as -phone.

Really, I shouldn't be allowed near a keyboard...

@Biodegraded "Check the story just below:."

FINALLY I GOT AN ARTICLE PUBLISHED@@!@!!!!! Money makin' moneymoney makin!

gaaaaaaah

Try the Natrol brand. It works for the people I know, whereas the generic... The standard recommendation is 0.5mg at 6 P.M. and 0.5 mg at 8. I found that the 6 P.M. dose was too early for me. I take 0.5 at 7, and 1.5 at 9. Experiment and see what works. If you believe in God, try praying before you go to sleep. That helps me more than anything.

Yeah, I had some Natrol around. Took half a 6mg tab before sleep. Did pretty well. The last time I took a quarter tab and I remember it being pretty effective.

"use less rather than more"

Was reading an article about Melatonin supplement, which I do use, a while back. It reminded that the body uses and responds to chemicals like this in *tiny* amounts, and that 5mg, 10mg, etc dosages are a joke. I roughly divide a 3mg capsule in half. I tried thirds, at first, but too much hassle, and the difference is insignificant.
