HOLY BATMAN

Spoke with my Sony guy, they said they would be up for it. Allocation is still slim for now but I exchanged business cards.

Awesome, thanks @netforce

I have a retired friend that answers these calls. He tells them he is a Satan worshiper and that they will burn in hell for eternity. They hang up. He never gets a second call.

@purr1n I will pass the number on to my friend! :)

Long ago we installed a Panasonic SOHO PBX with auto-attendant. They can be had for less that $200 these days. Only telemarketers we ever heard from after were selling ... business telephone systems.

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.

Awaiting further details...

ES 9038 might be the future

interested in the Gustard X-26

No way?! I thought only the wizards at Benchmark, THX, and Hegel had figured that out

You mean I-V conversion stage ?

Then there's this kid: https://cnn.it/2XZmq7G

Call me when we get banjo-playing redneck spock

Wears Grados while screwing his cousin every seven years

Let's have a drink in remembrance

I'm with @brencho - time for reflection at the passage of two SBAF friends

Thank you for the thoughtful gesture. I made it a point to turn on my home set-up and have a moment of dedicated listening bliss in their honor.

My earrings are not damaged. :(

I will be happy on the day I don't hear the mosquito tone. When I was a kid I heard active ultrasonic alarm systems (like in jewelry stores), and couldn't stay in the store. Thank goodness those days are gone.

I've no idea how my hearing is as good as it is; starting at high school I would do homework with metal blasting loudly in my headphones.

Heavy Metal damaged my hearing too. I used to like the ringing noise when I slammed pieces of steel around. I wish there had been health and safety regulations back then!

And... My recent theory is that my hearing damage goes back to measles.

Holy shit, the pictures are crazy!

@elguapo that's fucking amazeballs, reminds me of lighting shower time lapses by storm chasers :o - and those are in second little piggy alley ...

Wow. Just wow.

But unplug the electronics and don't stand under trees.

Everything dies out. Impermanence.

Tourists are dumb, regardless of nationality. Btw Waterloo was won by a British and Prussian army.

With additional reinforcements from continental Europe.

Tourists in many cases are dumb. Sometimes a few pleasant ones pass by and you exchanges stories and tips.

@Kitty. No need to remove posts or account. Sorry you had a rough experience. Let time tell.

They’re the best and most needed kind.

The truth sucks sometimes, but it's better to hear it now than pay for it later.

good to strive to not be like "them," but in order to do so, we have to recognize how prone we are to being just like "them." otherwise this place is running wild with self-righteous asshats that act like they're "audio-woke". so what i appreciate about this place is how open it is about its biases, while also being open about *how* or the way, to give helpful "answers."

So the active ground is not a gimmick?

Less active ground. Can always populate two channels. But more the opamp driver and output stage. The output stage is different, but also very similar. I loved the M3.

Nvaguy "exposure" did not help . I liked my Mini-3 back in the day.

At least we can be happy that the remake of Road House starring Rhonda Rousey in Patrick Swayze's roll appears to be shelved for now. Hopefully it stays that way. Road House 2 was already bad enough, lol.

@OldDude04 I was not aware there was a sequel, looks like a porno!

Rodehouse

"The guy was on drugs. Yes, we agreed not to report him."

Is that subtle hint for us to report him instead???

Back in my public works days I watched a Honda Prelude driver ignore the keep back sign and stop right behind a 966 Cat, who proceeded to reverse right up the hood to the windshield. Driver was OK but but traumatized :-) Wish they had camera phones back then.

Thankfully not a 120mph Tesla. https://miami.cbslocal.com/2019/02/15/cbs4-exclusive-speeding-tesla-near-rips-suv-half/

Man, listening to music and enjoying life are diametrically opposed? You're not doing it right man...

How does universal ignore work?

Sorry what was that?

Wow, that is very 90s indeed.

lmao, that tampon font is new too. It looked like this a few months ago: https://i.imgur.com/pfLYrHN.png

It's set up as my browser's default search engine. I just search from the URL box mostly, so actually hardly noticed it in the results list. Also have "black mode" set.

I never bought tampons, so I guess I didn't notice.
