Overkill Red

@Boops and @Cradon (assuming he hasn't sold it)

@famish99 I wish I could haha! Always wanted to do that whole 'camp-out for BBQ thing'.

Replied to PM

Like the doc says. With medicine, one week; without medicine, seven days.

I did read recently that Zinc lozenges might actually reduce symptoms and duration somewhat. Put it under the "Studies Show..." heading, I can't remember the source.

Get well soon!

On topic: I would also recommend looking for S7
Off topic: Why is no one is talking about Studio Jr?

I was wondering why the Pendant went up for sale.
Good luck!

I have an Af for sale, just sayin'

@m17xr2b Mate, they’re really going to some places with MK11 https://youtu.be/iVsY9OQwIgE

Oh my...hope they'll have a PC version

In a small city cars are large and unwieldy. Moped or bicycle, every ally, every street is your road.

@Wilson Just now clicked on your clip

@DigMe Being young and clueless I haven't; I do enjoy older movies but there are tons of great ones I miss out on. Currently have some Sinatra films at the top of the backlog (Pal Joey, From Here to Eternity. Von Ryan's Express, etc.) I got lucky and stumbled upon "Where Eagles Dare" while channel surfing.

@Wilson @GoodEnoughGear will check those out for sure, thanks!

The Great Escape is a good one. Definitely try to catch it sometime. Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, James Coburn. Really good.

Ed, we’ve never met, but Nic has talked about you. What you mentioned is the very reason I got into desktop audio.

Oh, hopefully good things :) we're alike then! I do like to poke my head back into the IEM/CIEM realm to check out the newest flavors, but right now it seems like there's a sort of technological ceiling that's preventing that segment from reaching new heights. Perfect time to explore the desktop world, I suppose!

Definitely good things :) I agree, and many more options and routes than the portable realm. But it also turns out to be a bigger rabbit hole.

That is much of what prompted my move to Orange County. That's a heck of a setup though!

Come to the Midwest! I hear big houses are real cheap in Detroit

Thanks Jinxy, actually considering putting the Pendant up for an interest check, as I may be able to rearrange my apartment to accommodate larger amps that I considered but couldn't justify before.

I have a cousin in Detroit actually, westermac; seems like a cool place but the shortage of good Asian food worries me..

Mmmm pheasant

Gives you wood?

Ancient British Schoolboy Joke (from an ancient British schoolboy)...

To be said fast: I'm not a pheasant plucker I'm a pheasant plucker's daughter: I'm only plucking pheasant till the pheasant plucker comes.

I would say thanks for reminding me of that, except...

Sorry I can't be of much help atm; hesitant to provide comparisons due to lack of experience w/ tube amps. I'm really hoping to get to a meet soon and hear more stuff! Also planning on NOS-ing out the tubes after Xmas and reporting back on that.

That’s helpful, probably more than you realise, thanks. What amp did you upgrade from?

Last amp was a Chord Hugo, so basically this is my first amp.

I've gotten pretty familiar with 12AU7's since starting work. What kind of signature are you going for? Cifte's have the most holographic staging, RCA Cleartop tend to be the most detailed up top, Amperex tend to be the warmest and smoothest. And there are some that lie kind of in between those things.

I'd say I'm looking to get something that matches well with my HD800; not too bright, warm and bassy with sweet mids. I'm currently using a (NOS actually, lol) Mullard CV4024 12AT7, and it would be great to have something a bit warmer and punchier, if that helps. Thanks for the reply!

~70% IPA is best for disinfecting stuff, while >90% is best for cleaning due to its volatility.

Thanks for the many recommendations guys! Gonna pick up some 99% isopropyl alcohol and give that a shot with the Qtips.
