  Was mountain biking over rocks? There was an earthquake? Was it big?

    From what I heard it was a ~6.4 in magnitude, epicenter in Ridgecrest. So more than Mother Nature just getting her shakes out.

  Son practicing intro to Crazy Train while I play the bass. Better than any audiophilia. Fricking Randy Rhoads, so cheesy, but good.

    War Pigs was loads of fun to play on guitar with friends. I'd love to rehearse and jam that on drums too. Bill Ward is one groovy beast.

    A simple thing to start with would be a bi-weekly or monthly review of some new piece of audio-gear, brutally honest in video format. Think of I.F. in the Tyll-era. Even as a noob I would watch those old I.F. reviews because Tyll combined science and his own biases to really explain what made something work for him (or not for that matter!). Adds a slightly edu-tainment edge to our silly place.

    Better than calling it "Project Thanatos", Thanos was about snapping his finger and de-population. Thanatos picked you up after death like, "Dude, come to Hades and no, sucks to have your fate."

    Interested what you think of LCD 3, probably the first expensive headphone which actually impressed me (end of 2016) and responsible for the deep journey down the rabbit hole. The pair I heard were on the dark side.

    @YMO This is prioritizing and it seems they have set certain goals regarding privacy. @Psalmanazar Apple computers were great when I used them 7 years ago. Glitch free and the best intuitive interface with useful extra features like windows spread, multiple workspaces, proper smooth scrolling. The White Macbook was quite good. I did not find much use for my iMac though.

    I like it in SYNC mode and with the Jitter Reducer OFF. Has proper "density" to the sounds in that configuration. Overall I'd describe it as clean, tight and delicate. DSJ (Redcloud) sounds veiled and has "phat" bass in comparison, while C2 sounds bold and has more heft to the bottom.

There's no replacement for displacement: works for motors, and woofers too.
Portable gear setups in the past 10 years: Sony X to Sony ZX2; UERM to Andro/Solaris. That's it. I don't chase.
