Now you need to write a comparison with all 3!

@shotgunshane I should. I'll have the Kato, Blessing2, Oracle MkII, and Timeless. I guess I could use the EDC3 as a baseline reference. Oracle is the only one that isn't covered much here.

Kato and Timeless are pretty well known here (Blessing 2 not quite as much as the other 2), so I think members will be interested in how the Oracle compares to those.

Still pissed that I lost my old Moondrop Spaceship. I left it in a bag with some other cheaper IEM’s in a taxi in Korea. When I went to order some more they’d been discontinued. What a value that one was!

@DigMe Aw, man… that’s a real bummer. I also ordered a Thieaudio Oracle MkII. Not sure what has gotten into me.

Just realized when you liked my old post that it was the Crescent I left in the taxi. I think the Spaceship was what I tried to replace it with but didn’t sound nearly as good.

Sign up for my RD-S12 loaner tour! :)

@ChaChaRealSmooth @shotgunshane Just got them from amazon 15 minutes ago. Putting them through their paces now. Fiddling with the tips

@shotgunshane Not surprisingly, I went with the foam tips. Medium. Best seal for me.

@JK47 @GuySmiley'sMonkey Haha… no, not TWTR. And yes, got something lined up. Now, the unpleasant transition at old gig.

what is making it unpleasant?

@ductrung3993 The fact that I have two more weeks at a job that I dread. Must resist short-timer's disease.

That's definitely backwards. Never stop hoarding!!!

As it should.

I would try medium, and maybe buy a domain and link the two

My first suggestion as well would be to look at a hosted service. Managing your own server is a full-time job with all the security involved -- save that for later when it goes big.

The other side of that is back up your posts/content to another place (something simple like Dropbox or Google Drive). Don't let the only copy of your work be in one place that can go dark on a moment's notice.

Start a music blog here! :D

I love mp3Tag for this. The action scripting is awesome.

I’ve been doing the same thing with cycling. I spend a lot more time in zone 2, whereas I used to push myself into zones 3 and 4 much more frequently. At first, zone 2 felt awfully slow, but the great surprise is that I can now go almost as fast in zone 2 but with way less fatigue than a zone 4 workout.

On my old team I got yelled at quite a bit on training rides because my "easy isn't soft enough, and hard isn't tough enough". Riding around at/around tempo doesn't really do a whole lot. The whole polarized training thing really does work; it just takes more time than doing SST + HIIT.

Is that for the MOV Dirt ? That was just reissued. I had heard they were going for big money but the new reissue might fix that. Have Dirt and jar of flies/sap from MOV I thought were great.

@HotRatSalad That was for Black Gives Way to Blue. I, too, have Dirt, Sap/JOF from MOV. I’m with you - they sound great.

Do tell. I always struggle with gift ideas for the wife. My daughters make it easy for me.

My wife and me never buy anything for each other for Christmas. Birthdays, yes, but not Christmas. It’s a good thing to just enjoy the holidays, watch the kids’ joy and generally have good family time instead of worrying about presents.

@zottel I wish I could get my wife to go along with that.

Hawt, you should had ask me to be on video with you.

When tailgaters are too annoying I go into defensive driving mode. I block every move just for the fun of it. At one point the drivers think you have eyes in your back. Two wheels and mirrors...

@Qildail That’s exactly what happened. 2 lights later, we caught (coincidentally) up and he started acting tough again. What a goof!

Passive aggressive braking: slow down, but gradually. When you stop, they are too close to simply overtake.

(Or else acknowledge the fact that you are safer with them in front than behind: live long, peaceful, and dent free.)

That's some nuttery right there. I'll spend that for multiple-record box sets, but not ever for a single record. For that price I'll just stream or play the $3 used CD...

Agreed ! This has been going on for a while now, very tempted to sell some of mine.

The one and only time I saw them in concert was on that tour. I think among my least favorite Rush albums, but anyhow that's crazy pricing.

And older CDs are often better than the re-mastered version

@Cspirou I agree. That DR database is a great tool I use to help me pick releases. I also have MAAT DROffline MkII, so I can upload data to DR DB, too.

Yea. but you have to figure in all the nervosa involved with a a decent vinyl system and its upkeep. Been there, done that.

voyager was after TNG though

DS9 has some great takes on the Federation, particularly from Quark.

@SoupRKnowva My issues with the Fed started with TNG, but I'm a fan of all from TNG to DS9 to Voyager.

But if it’s a group that started with a group name and then added the singer name in front, like The Supremes to Diana Ross and The Supremes, I keep it all under the band name. :)

And does "The" count?

I ignore “The” and file The Romantics under “R,” and so forth.
