Such an epic solo in that song!

Reading this makes me wish Pebble didn't got purchased by Fitbit.

Fitbit is good for tracking steps, distance, flights of stairs, Sleeping, and general idea of heart rate.

Fitbit shortchanges on strenuous exercise. Constantly under-tracks heart rate, and, as a result, caloric burn.

Always.

Tennents Whiskey Oak maybe..

Definitely darker stouts... Not Guiness stout.

Too much hard work... Too much time waiting for drawers to open and close...

Just click on a file name.

(Damn, computers really /really/ have made me lazy!)

Did a quick 3 minute blind test again... the difference between 24 and 20 bit is definitely there, even with the "19 bit" Gungnir Multibit.
I got the first wrong so after that I simply reversed what I would've clicked otherwise. I also got the 2nd wrong and got the 6 after that right. I stopped after the 8th trial.
Edit: Posted the wrong pic

Lost the pic, but I got an 8/9 now with the HD800.

Especially in terms of soundstage size, but also microdynamics and timbre there are big differences.

Hard to tell the difference between DSD and 24/96 FLAC, but a little easier to tell the difference between the hi-res files and 16/44.1. Space btwn instruments, timbre, decay, attack... all a little better.

Any impressions?

I've only spent time with "Box Of Rain" off the Dead's AMERICAN BEAUTY classic. Sound is fuller, more separation, micro & macro detail improves, the way notes hit and fade... I like it.

It's pretty crap for forecasts (but then all apps are). But, it's nice during a rainstorm seeing how much longer you can expect it to last.

Just a lot quicker and easier to navigate than Weather Channel app. My co-worker swears by the forecasting. Lol...

Like I said, all apps are pretty bad. Forecasting is complex and relies on too many models to be summed up succinctly in a 7-day forecast. This is the only person I trust, locally: https://www.nashvillesevereweather.com/

Mbr wrote sarcastic response to my orig. post, so I replied by chastising Mbr for being insecure. That’s why it was deleted. Kinda wimpy, though. C’est là vie! :-)

And that’s why I like this place. Kinda like ol’ time hockey. The players policed themselves. Didn’t rely on refs or league! :-)

IRONY ALERT: my initial post, which led to a smart-ass reply by someone on HF, was liked by none other than Baldr. Ain’t that a kick?

Chili turned out well. Did not make it too spicy or add extra salt. One can always add to taste after serving oneself!

Chili’s pretty hard to mess up. Easy to make a solid pot. I like to add a good helping of straight ancho chili powder.

Anything is possible when an easily distracted 11-year old is in charge!

L/R line-level inputs. My sub is a Klipsch R-110SW. Showstopper, or just not optimal?

Likely the latter based off my understanding, but still worth pursuing.

Thanks for the heads up. Definitely got to keep it in mind.

Welcome to the SBAF Nak club! There should be a tag for those of us who actually like the "anti-audiophile" sound of cassettes. Are you hoping to record as well? If you find a good source for blanks LMK, maybe we'll exchange actual mixtapes sometime?

"the "anti-audiophile" sound of cassettes"

Back in the day, and obviously before the day of PCs, one of my best uses for cassette was playing scratched records. They still sounded bad, but the cassette could not reproduce the full dynamic range of the click --- and I did not have to worry about what the scratch was doing to my stylus.

Mind you, Real Audiophiles, back then, probably spliced tape. Or rearranged the magnetic dust with an eraser

What HP’s? How does Elex sound through it? I’ve owned Vali 2 twice, real good amp

Elex sounds great. K601 sounded a little thin on Vali 2 as opposed to Taurus MkII. Note: Elex has Black Dragon cable. Takes the edge off.

K601 sounds better on Vali 2 today. I was listening via USB PC to Gungnir Multibit last night. Maybe something was off. I've done CDP and TT today, and all is good with Vali 2 and K601.
