Merrick

In my experience the fit is really hit or miss, but I have no problems if I'm just going to do some rowing in the garage. For jogging they stay in 95% of the time, but that last 5% is a PITA. The AirPod Pros were great in my open floor plan office for reducing the unwanted background noise, but these days they're mostly relegated to phone call use.

I like the standard ones more. If we ever go back to how things were before and I start riding the train to work again, then I’d consider the Pros. I think the standard AirPod design is brilliant.

Well my wife wants my OG airpods so I’m keeping the pros. I have had issues with the OGs staying in my ears at times, even when not doing strenuous activity, so the pros win out. I still wish they were cheaper though, especially since they have non-replaceable batteries so I basically have to buy AppleCare to be able to get the inevitable replacements at a lower cost down the line.

You will get something better don't worry...but we are living in the time where everything is worth few rolls of toilet paper

Don't think of it as stolen but as a gift given to your grandmother while she travels to a better place
You will feel better

Karma has a way of working things out. You may never see it but those responsible will definitely have some "interesting" times.

I watched the Battle for Endor recently. Local library had it as well as the Caravan of Courage.

TLJ definitely worse. ROS enjoyable as a popcorn flick IMO

The only Star Wars related dvd I own is The Battle for Endor and Caravan of Courage set. Nuff said, don’t you dare diss the Ewoks.

Live from Budokan?

I hope it's a happy busy...having lots on your plate can feel satisfying...or stressful.

Thanks! It’s having an 8 month old kind of busy, so a lot of happy and a few passing moments of frustrating.

Actually, this sounds really good. Yes, I’m sure I can tweak it and dial it in further, but man I’ve missed vinyl. Blows most digital right out of the water.

Sounds like when I got used to BT in the car, actually thought it sounded pretty good.. until I switched back to lossless. Like the first dump after a long bout of constipation.

I don’t even play records anymore because I did a poor job of aligning my cart when I put it back onto the 1800. I never bothered to readjust it.

@LetMeBeFrank Instead of listening to it on repeat, it’s inspired me to go through the whole discography chronologically. What an amazing band.

I’ll shamelessly repost my accidental review. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EC_ylueWwAAopfB.jpg:orig

I also looped Fear Inoculum for like 6 days straight and haven’t gotten bored yet. I did listen to something else for first time since, last night though haha

@Thad E Ginathom Don’t feel bad. I don’t remember much about their 1974 show. :)

what, like "If you remember it you weren't there?"

There was a Pink Floyd concert in London that qualifies to be filed under that heading for me :)

@Thad E Ginathom Yes. That’s it! But I vividly remember a Floyd concert in Oakland. They drove back from the hotel and played Careful With That Axe Eugene. After the show had been over for an hour. We just wouldn’t leave. :)

Also @Ray passed away

I saw that Ray passed away, so sad. Sorry to hear about your cats @Ringingears, it’s never easy to lose any of them, let alone more than one.

@Merrick Thanks. She was a very special one. Followed me around like a dog. Never left my side except to eat and use the litter box. Glad life is treating you well. You have been missed.

Something to be said for the Saga/Lyr 3 combo with HD580s.

Yup, kids and a house have certainly done well to keep my hobbies in check! It won't be long before you all get to sleep through the night and you'll be able to have some time for tunes again.

Iknoerite

I haven't had a 'desktop' setup in some time now. A portable dac/amp gets used a lot, especially when i can sneak in a dadnap in some corner of a room as I hide from the 1 and 5 yr old.

Congrats Merrick - I take it this is #1? Savour each moment - they pass so quickly. My "little man" in now 18 and not far off leaving for Varsity.

Congrats mate!

Congratulations!

Haha, but now you need a good cart & phono pre...

I’ve got a Denon 103R and a Ray Samuels Nighthawk, I’m just missing a turntable worth using them with.

You can always pass off a cartridge as a stocking filler!

I tried to vape tea but didn't work as expected.

Dammit @m17xr2b , I got really excited to make the same joke but got up too late this morning.

It wasn't a joke. Chamomile I believe.

They shouldn’t be hard to track down, they weren’t limited edition or anything.

I came to those thanks to (I think) a Steve Hoffman thread. Excellent.

@Azteca Same! There’s a great thread about them on there.

Dual 15+" woofers or 4 12s minimum.

@zerodeefex I accept the ruling of the council.

And here all this time I thought it meant the common usage!

Damn, this is arguably even more impressive with the JVC FD-01.

I went from all tube to the Lyr3, and I don't really have any regrets. it's a great sounding amp for my Clears and LCD-2 CB.
