Depends if you lend me your bed.

It’s a Friday night and this is what you are posting?

Says a top 10 by post count poster lololololol.

But for real now, full week and weekend, loaner coming to end, still had to troubleshoot before listening + impressions.

Sure Fugu

@ChaChaRealSmooth give him a new name

So nothing changed in the French parliament itself, but I read this morning that government is already a minority party.

Ooooh... I guess we're not supposed to be talking about politics, now! Perhaps... if we pretend that we're *really* talking about the acoustics of national assembly buildings???

@penguins it can happen in some Westminster-style govts too, but hardly ever has (and some countries changed their practices after this occurrence:) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975_Australian_constitutional_crisis
@Thad E Ginathom the speed of sound is typically faster in such buildings because of all the hot air.

it dates back to Napoleon. and sometimes it backfires on the president when the new body actually increases the opposition party

I think it was Sunday night it (in Roon) was giving me an error with it, but I ignored it and it was normal the next day…sorry no help

Oh, I second the suggestion to change ur password …

Changed pw hopefully it works. However, I did notice that even after changing my pw other devices still stayed logged in for quite a while.

Also a quick google search that I should have done earlier said this was a common error a year or so ago even on several trial accounts...

So even in this hobby I've had a Holo May at the bottom of my wants list for more than a year or two. Still can't bring myself to buy it even used at a good price knowing it will retain at least 50% value.

At the same time, I REALLY needed to refresh my wardrobe and have already spent more on clothes and shoes, which I don't like buying, than a used May would have cost.

Also read something (unverified) that the average American buys new underwear once every 5 or so years. Yet a lot of people have no problem spending $100 drinking on a night out or $1000 on new audio gear, car stuff, vacation (probably with said old underwear), etc.

So size up your undies @penguins after getting KBBQ.

What are you hearing? If it’s some kind of buzzing it might be a hair touching the diaphragm.

It's buzzing that sounds exactly like the Focal driver exertion issue to me, but here it's only happening at about mids and higher. Low mids and below it's fine.

Happening on Piety, Vali2+, and a few small amps my friend had when he borrowed them for a few hours. Not happening with SW51 and Stellaris.

Investigated amp power source by swapping sockets around and removing stuff from surge protector to no avail.

Turns out it's most likely a weird power issue I'll have to investigate further.

Sometimes audio is so. much. fun.

Neutral is going to work better with more gear. Coloured, if v-shaped, better for low level listening as @Armaegis mentioned.

If you got the cash maybe the Dutch & Dutch Bacch

Decision has been made!

On the desktop.

My partner is in the market for desktop speakers so I'm invested in whatever you share. Thanks

Made a new thread in 2ch subforum.

Also posted in the original meet thread. Based on lessons learned arranging the first one, ideally we would be able to let the venue and community as a whole know further in advance rather than something I do on a whim 2-3 weeks in advance.

Fall is good chance I could fly and see you sweet cheeks.

Remedy: Socks + Sandals.

Bonus: Major coolness factor.

I don't like chihuahuas either

I'm usually bare-foot in the house. Socks would not be cooler.

Chihuahuas (Gosh, is the really how it spelt? It seems so) might eat a few mossies.

Virgins, @penguins the Autist lives in LA. It is going to be a shitshow regardless. He keep saying to me on private video calls nude that he doesn’t wanna be a Florida Man. Well guess what! He will have to turn into one!

Sounds like I have the basics covered then.

@gsanger - Didn't know about the attic - I'll keep that in mind.

Don't think FEMA or whatever alphabet agency has a hurricane plan in place for southern CA though. Like how Lousiana probably doesn't have anything in place for earthquakes or wildfires.

Seeing the roads here after heavy rains though (10+ years ago) - I suspect most people won't be able to go anywhere once the weather gets bad.

Sorry - I didn't end up with a WL and haven't been following along with the WL / WD so I can't give a good answer.

However, anecdotally, I have used other WD without issue on various amps since then and all of the amps worked on the various WD without issue.

Do you have a link to the issue you're referencing? I've used a WaveDream SE with my V3 Stratus and it was a fabulous combo, worked without any issues. (Yes I realize the WaveDream is not the WaveLight).

Ya I have a rough idea in mind for the replacement. DIY-ish project for fun - may be great, may be a total waste of time and money, but that's much later.

Stop being a virgin

Crap, I wish you'd put it up FS here and I was the first to see it. No plans to upgrade anything, but woulda snatched that in a second.

Pingu cartoons coming up.

@penguins :)

And fat people day as well

@penguins discovering the one with the Shamu.

I canned my own tuna with one of these... https://tinyurl.com/4cxrfh9x
I got 8 canned wide mouth pint jars of yummy Blue Fin Tuna, half in olive oil, the other half in water. I preferred the olive oil as it kept the tuna moister I think

@bixby it's only on occasion, not regularly. regardless, properly canned tuna is still delicious with certain foods beyond "tuna sandwich". and yes, i have other canned seafood too for "other dishes".

@CEE TEE and I accidentally used a pair of AES/ EBU cable when setting up an amp at one of our houses recently. We couldn't get the system to sound right and gave up. When breaking it down, I noticed the cables were AES/ EBU. Swapping over to normal cables fixed the off-sound.

@YMO - give me some free money and I could just blind buy all the cables instead of double checking this stuff on SBAF

No @penguins I'll give you money for hookers.

Don't force it. Come back later.

Cause you didn't call me last night.

Don't think Montreal smoked meat is affected.

Meanwhile the developing world has 4-6x as many people (depending on definition) with near 0 regulations (in practice) about how they can cook and heat their food...

In b4 developed world has more carbon footprint anyways - yes we do, but I bet it's not due to our use of gas stoves... and would a ban really fix much of anything?

I also wonder if this is going to negatively impact health in the long run in terms of how things are able to be cooked and having to have (even) more processed foods which will probably hurt more than a marginal amount of gas stove pollution.

But IDK and maybe this is a bit of a stretch.
