@yotacowboy LOL, the special Colorado Kool-Aid emergency kit. Already home, and it was clear with blue skies when I left the area

"Eaton fire was apparently set by an arsonist"

I'm utterly against death as punishment. But just now I'm thinking that *burning at the stake* might actually be appropriate.

It does make it look like a video game. Good dose of reality there though. Good nobody was hurt, and good on the firefighters everywhere doing that job day in and day out.

I have the highest respect for the men and women that fight fires. Mother nature is no joke, true hero's

Underappreciated workers throughout the world.

It's bollocks. Don't worry about it.

Isn't it Computer Audiophile that is full of this kind of shit? Please forgive if I got the site wrong.

It started out with real, practical advice on how to get decent sound from a PC. Windows, in particular, made it quite difficult back then. And the low-fi standard was Soundblaster, the even-lower-fi option was built-in or unbranded sound card.

Maybe it was inevitable that those who "could hear the difference" between one disk drive and another, etc, would end up there.

Glad you don't have my problem.

Streamers seem like one of those things that don’t need the latest computer boards

Hey buddy, thanks for checking in. been a crazy few months...looking forward to getting back here.

Sounds like a new ride.

yo mama smackdown, coming in 2028

Vancouver boy wins gold!

^b-boy

@M3NTAL It's the v4 from the Hifiman open box section of their store

So that's how you like your chicks.

It amazes me how much these have come down in price. Weren't they something like $600-700 USD when they first came out?

@Lyander actually just ordered the HE560 because the open box price at $169 was too tempting

Nice price. And yes that was a puerile joke lmao. I keep trying to like modern planars (the YH-100 is so good why are modern orthos so... weird by comparison) but I guess I'm just team dynamic. Meh, preferences.

$2500 just for doubling the T50's coil path and putting it in a modified TH chassis?? f**k riiiiiight off!

Oof that was heartbreaking to watch at the end. Congrats to the Panthers though. It took the Oilers 3 games to figure them out, and vice versa.

@Armaegis I had to listen to the last 7min on the radio as I was going to work nightshift. Great series and a 1 goal game with no controversy. The better team won

I feel like the game got kinda boring after Panthers got goal 2 and decided to lock down on defence. After that the Oilers just couldn't get into the zone and they were utterly gassed out in the 3rd. Good game, but oof the Canadian dry spell continues...

I really don’t know if the can do it. Edmonton fans are as rowdy as they get and that place will be LOUD

And if they lose, they'll want to show they can at least riot better than Vancouver fans ;)

Oilers or Paul Maurice, either one winning works for me. How often does that happen? Glad to see it is not a sweep either way. If it goes for 7, that is as good as hockey gets.

Was a joke ;)

the LAN isn't going to purify itself

The LAN was *born* pure.

B. C is for those who don’t like to hear.

#TeamHiss

B or S indeed, but equipment supporting S is rare. Since almost everything that supports Dolby NR supports B, that's the go-to. S also plays back OK on B systems, while C does not.

When I had my RS1e I thought it had good synergy with the Piety

I think the difference between SE and bal for the GS is not as big as the one in Gungnir. The converter might actually filter what you gain with bal.

@StageOne SE straight pipe

Libs of TikTok is a far right propaganda outlet.

Any form of social media is a propaganda outlet

@Merrick I'd say just plain right. But people driving up on the shore and running off in numbers is kinda weird, right?

His parents failed to give him a chance so in that sense I understand some mercy... don't know if that was a factor in the decision.

With good behavior, he would still serve a minimum of 21 years - the 85% rule for Federal sentencing. But he's not barred from any similar type of activity once he's out which is a shame.

Also hope his time is NOT served in a country club

I recently saw an announcement for the TH616. Not sure if you knew about that one. https://www.fostexinternational.com/docs/products/TH616.shtml

And apparently there's a 50th anniversary t50rp

@Cspirou Yeah I've seen the TH616 but it only has the TH600 driver not the super magnet TH900 driver

I was curious to check TH909: https://www.fostex.jp/products/th909/ Well, the page of TH909 has got video, table with image and text show how good it is, TH808? plain image and text only.

You pay dearly for the fancy lacquered cups, nice to have an option. I wonder how the sound is tuned on the TH808

are these ROHM chips worth fussing over? (and yes, i know, it's not just the chipset, it's the implementation and everything else, too)

I got so fat that I don't do dongles and I just Airpod Pro 2 my life to death.

needed a more immersive dongle with excellent spatial and blackness, iBasso DC Elite is delivering.
