insidious meme

It’s the same pool that caused some friends of mine to be 40 plus years old in a super wizard status in their mom’s house.

@Lyander No, more like the the stompy robot kits.

@YMO yeah, but I'm just taking it up again after a long time away from it. I'm the wizard in my own castle..

@Armaegis assume you still have gas for winter? A former coworker of mine did a heat pump with electric backup and is happy with it but says it cost more than gas in the winter.

Hope you got 4 -5 bids. When I did it 15 yrs ago the spread was over $5k.

@Kernel Kurtz yes, gas for winter, electric heat is too expensive, I'd only consider it if I were doing a custom build house with super thick walls, or maybe in a couple more years when the multi stage heat pumps and ERVs allow for actual low temperature operation

Maybe for now, but let's be completely honest and admit it's only a matter of time...

Tell me how i know you're a pessimist. LOL.

I'm not a pessimist, just a realist ;)

See you soon boo

Some famous composers I started late on: Tchaikovsky and Mozart. So I enjoyed them later than others. I still do.

"famous composers"

FOTM! if still around in a century or three I'll give them a listen.

;) LOL

At least we got a cold peace with Egypt.

He was great on The Simpsons.

The only president since FDR who was worth a damn.

I know the feeling, the toilet is near me.

Merry Christmas!!!

You and Santa. More power to you.

^ Came here to say the same thing. Haven't heard them myself, but they got a rec from @atomicbob (see his profile) and Solderdude's impressions & measurements are encouraging.

@Sqveak Certain plastic parts are cracking or cracking off on the headband.

Yes, the FT1 is on the list. Probably right now a list of 1. Thanks guys.

Power to the people!!!

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
