The SA-1 has all the convenience...makes a great preamp for the SW51+. Problem is, I keep forgetting to switch back to the SA-1 on A/B May 11, 2022

  The AVC I built is my new addiction. Didnt really understand how much a passive volume control setup could make!

    if there's enough people in Canada to justify sending it up north, maaaaybe, but I figure that's not gonna happen

    @rhythmdevils Got it from a guy, Todd, local to me who bought it from Doug years ago after a show. He goes by skullguise in HF and Head-case. Re. Your comment. We can work that out!

    It’s not overly difficult, but you have to be careful and slow. Lots of components (small) on the board. Some flux and wick can go a long way. Lots of videos on YouTube to show you what your in for!

  The Yeti travel coffee lid with the magnetic action is so very satisfying. I should not like a travel mug this much! Happy Friday!

    the mag slider is convenient and easy to clean, but unfortunately does not seal tightly enough to prevent a spill if you knock the mug over

    If they could have made it leak proof it would be perfect. Only other complaint is that it keeps things scolding hot too long ;)

    Yeti was a contributor to my switch to strong black coffee over ice. Who the hell can wait 6 hours for hot coffee to cool off enough to drink.

    I'd been meaning to post about liking the playlist, too, and appreciating the new discoveries. I went for a good long walk yesterday and heard some great new tunes, especially the metal tracks (I'm not usually a big metal fan). Thanks!

    If there was a "love" button, I'd push it. Waking early to get some headphone time (while others sleep) feels like giddy stolen time.

    But the synergy right now is great, and the pi2aes loaner proved I can make it better still.
