    LA doesn't even prosecute petty theft anymore to my knowledge. I had a coworker in Winetka voluntarily pay off his neighbor so they wouldn't rob him. I can understand why Marv left CA.

  Hello,Earlier I had noted to you that I have a passive device that cancels the cross-talk found in phono cartridges. I would like to talk to you about it and other items. If you would communicate with me you know the ways and rules, my etiquette is from an earlier age. Please contact me or send me the data do such.
  
  Thank you

    Bad week for gun control advocacy. Red flag laws fail in Illinois and Japan, which has basically no private gun ownership, has some rando build a shotgun out of plumbing parts and kill a former PM.

    @Riotvan The downside is that iPhone jacks die. People upgrade so often that they don't know this. But I had to scrap my 5.5-year-old iPhone SE (2016) because charging became very undependable. I replaced it with the 13 Mini, but I had rather have smaller phone.

    @Claritas my 7plus of a similar age still works fine so does a 10 year old ipad air. My newer ipad pro has usb-c which feels much more flimsy. Am up for a new phone since this one is getting slow and the battery is toast, if the new 14 still has lighting i wouldn't mind it. Only use it for charging or dongle.

  LauX: This amp is good with Audezes and bold sounding DACs, but it's horrible with Sennheisers, Grados, Focals, etc. Review pending.

    Cavalli amps mostly perform better on orthos. Even the little Spark amp is goood on T50’s and just so so on Sennheisers. MCTH maybe the only exceptions from amps I’ve heard.

    I think you will really like them based on your amps. There are other pricey 300Bs, but they tend toward modern solid-state vs. American vintage sounding.
