      They don't butter toast in W. Hollywood restaurants. Or offer jam. "Hash browns" are two tater tots. Damn hipsters.

        Hipsters might actually know what hash browns are and toast. Could it be another alien form in W. Hollywood?

        If they did this with the pharmaceutical industry hundreds of millions of people would benefit dramatically and for a sustained period of time while only a dozen or so individuals would be worse off.

        Might want to factor in cost of development with a standard amortization relative to development time/effectiveness. I say effectivenes so that decent performance is required.

        Controlling or culling population is the best solution to save the earth. It's going to take decades if not a hundred years before solar, wind, and fusion can cost effectively generate power.

        Solar & wind can be cost-effective in some places, depending on geography & fiscal regime - but they can't scale like hydrocarbons. Fusion would be great.

        My friend in Pasadena currently has the Solaris. It's really good. Runs it with a Schiit Eitr, which he claims improves the sound. He played me some music with and without, and the Eitr seemed to have a positive effect. Might have been the power of suggestion though?

      Hey Marv, did you ever get around to a DEQ2496 writeup?

      Also I'm trying to figure out how transparent it really is (with minimal GEQ/PEQ only). I can't hear much if any difference vs bypass all. @Riotvan still hates it though. Interested what you think.

        I was using a V800 dac back then and it was AES. Can't remember if i tried bypass, i think compared between physical bypass and eq. Amp was modded BH Crack and HD800 with rugliner.

        You need to feed it with a digital source. If you use the analog input or internal DAC, then all bets are off. But with DEQ2496 in between a CD transport (or optical from FireTV) and Yggdrasil 2, I could not tell a difference. The DEQ was so good that I could tell the which one of my transports I was using or which connectors (SPDIF, AES, etc.)

        I'm using a cheap Pioneer player via TOSLINK. It makes no sense that different transports would have a "sound" with an optical link and reclocking DAC...

        Highlight was seeing the vets protesting against Hanoi Jane and Michael Moore on State Street in Traverse City. And the guy in the red redneck truck with the Dixie horn. Priceless. Julie wants a Dixie horn now. Probably won't go over well in California. Anyway, used Hanoi Jane as a teaching lesson for my kids: doing extremely stupid shit has consequences that one can never take back despite 1000 apologies.

        I'd be more worried about someone else hacking it to the same end. If the car itself developed consciousness, wouldn't crashing itself not be in the interest of self-preservation?
