Batten down the hatches! Stay safe SGS.

I used to live in Hernando county. Those years when Ivan and Katrina were around. We were so lucky there 2003-2007

Hope you are able to stay safe!

Buy me two and send me one for free.

Are you speaking of the 5k? I've had one for about a year. Not much chatter around here about it.

Yes recently received the 5k. Without EQ it’s sonics are solid, nothing outstanding. It’s slightly warm and meaty. With EQ, particularly autoEQ functionality, it is utterly fantastic.

I'd like to find a good eq for my tape modded 3DT but I've always liked the setup with Minor adjustment.

Interesting! I never got vinyl flat to really be effective. And heat always ended up adding noise to the surface. Maybe this one will be better?!

This is $300, surely some local store offers a flattening service on a per record rate that would be cheaper than this? How many people have so many badly warped records that this becomes a good deal?

If the temperature controller works as described, $300
is a bargain to me.

Thank you, SGS!

Definitely large but 60% lighter than its Turii predecessor.

Assuming you have it by now... care to share preliminary impressions? Very curious what you think!

Haven’t received it yet. Shenzhen Audio told me they’ve shipped it but no tracking yet.

I've been getting emails from Spectrum for over a year. Someone has incorrectly configured my email with them, we don't even have Spectrum in Canada. I click the unsubscribe link every time I see one, but it clearly does not do anything. Fortunately they mostly go to my spam box now.

I’m a huge fan of businesses implementing services like statuspage.io. Slack has a decent example of a status page implementation at status.slack.com

Here’s a somewhat decent example of what I expect, but rarely see from companies: https://status.slack.com/2022-02-22

I did pick up a copy of the record store day Ledbetter Heights.

Early digital stuff I guess. Wasn't KWS's first album on ADAT or something? Anyway, it was around that era.

I dunno why you guys bother sorting into *26 completely unrelated categories. I sort into three groups 1) good albums, 2) albums with one good song, and 3) all the rest. (sometimes the forth is "I don't remember")
*this is an obscure joke reference, I wonder who will recognize it*

By first name in folders as below, so I don't have to scroll so much. Number of artists is about the same in each:
A-B
C-E
F-L
M-R
S
T-Z

Edit: oops, totally missed "physical" ... I don't have any anymore (and happier for it) :P
(slept <5 hrs cuz baby wouldn't)

By genre, then group by favorites, non-favorites, stuff I need to revisit and stuff I haven't listened to yet.

i mean, i sign George Herbert Walker Bush on all my LPs hoping someday a collection of esoteric electronic music will eventually, illegitimately, make its way into his presidential library.

Steward: "Oh yes, I'm glad you asked, but yes, former president Bush was indeed a fan of Venetian Snares and Aphex Twin, as evidenced by his large collection of vinyl LPs all impeccably signed on both the gatefold and the sleeve, as you can clearly see here."

Another answer to the op is: those who were generous (and brave) enough to lend them to friends. Or, at least, take then on house visits.

People on the buses, albums under their arm... long-lost sights of the past. It was a better world back then!

Five months later

those look real nice

HOT! :-) We just did like @atomicbob and stepped up to a heat pump - we did ductless mini splits in our upstairs rooms. Super quiet, really efficient, cools everything far better than our central system ever did.

I run AC+shirtless, less $ and CO2!

Looked up "mini split", that's the default in Asia where walls and floors are concrete and we only cool rooms in use.

It's the default here in India for domestic, because it is only expensive. Centralised systems, usually for commercial use, are industrial-strength and priced accordingly.

Less prone to fingerprint smudges.

The facets of the shape/design are much more noticeable too.

I will remember this that you gotten another pair just for a finish.

Aaaaand…

Definitely more separation. It’s bigger sounding than the Concorde with Fritz Geiger stylus. While slightly brighter it’s less hard sounding. That’s all for now.

Blown….hehe

OLED is awesome, always was a little hesitant on Sony vs LG since LG has Gsync and I wanted to use my pc with the tv. The A90K with VRR has my interested peaked quite a bit now!

Adante-one of the worst AJ speakers I have heard

Nah, they sound nice... placement is important in the room, and you need your DAC/digital setup on point!

Maybe Andrew should have done that at his presentation of the Adante at a dealer in Denver. Sounded really chesty.

Thanks for reminding me about this. I'd forgotten about it after S02.

Are you blind? ;) Honestly the A80J is very bright in my apartment. Unless you have lights up the butt in your living room, I'm not convinced the upgrade is worth it IMO.

Why not wait and see? You can save toward it in the mean time. The QD panels look like a worthwhile upgrade for red and gold tones.

The Sony panels are beautiful as is their usability. I've had 3 Samsung sets and each of them has been disappointing/had issues + they force you into their "ecosystem" which suuucks. HDR gamut is nice but, as a film pro, anything over a couple hundred nits makes me want to gouge my eyes out. Maybe that's just me, though :-)

Ahhhh fuck. Thanks for the memories Razor!

Say hello to the bad guy!
