        I heard if you start it at the lion roar it matches up perfectly.

      Power washer and foam cannon make washing a car pretty easy.

        For swirl marks yes. Otherwise ONR is King.

        No swirl marks. Use 25 degree or 40 degree nozzle and stay about 12" from surface.

      Is it me, or does Dun & Bradstreet seem like a scam?

        All I know is that you have to have a DUNS number to register for the SAM portal that allows your business to get government contracts. You don't have to use any of their other services.

      Never really noticed much "break-in" change in a cart until my Soundsmith Otello. I've got 100+ hours on it now, and noticed a fuller sound

      Nothing like shoveling snow in freezing weather, coming back in the house, and warming my hands on good ol' Freya.

      "Tornado Of Souls" may or may not be my favorite Megadeth song, but it is definitely up there...

      Fitbit or Fitbit-like device for heart rate monitoring during exercise? My advice is to get something like a Polar monitor instead.

        Fitbit is good for tracking steps, distance, flights of stairs, Sleeping, and general idea of heart rate.

        Fitbit shortchanges on strenuous exercise. Constantly under-tracks heart rate, and, as a result, caloric burn.

      Since purchasing and using Okki Nokki, ONZOW ZeroDust captures much, MUCH less crap from my stylus. Money well spent on the RCM.

      I'm needle dropping to DSD and copying the files to DVD. I'm so lazy, I'd pop a DVD into the player rather than get out vinyl. Haha

        Too much hard work... Too much time waiting for drawers to open and close...

        Just click on a file name.

        (Damn, computers really /really/ have made me lazy!)

      The only thing I didn't like about Gungnir Multibit was the clicking when I paused my CDP. New player... no clicking on pause! Hooray!!

      DORK OUT ALERT: I'm needle dropping: DSD, 24/96 FLAC, 16/44.1 WAV. Will I notice a difference? Using new CD/SACD player for playback.

        Did a quick 3 minute blind test again... the difference between 24 and 20 bit is definitely there, even with the "19 bit" Gungnir Multibit.
        I got the first wrong so after that I simply reversed what I would've clicked otherwise. I also got the 2nd wrong and got the 6 after that right. I stopped after the 8th trial.

        Especially in terms of soundstage size, but also microdynamics and timbre there are big differences.

        Hard to tell the difference between DSD and 24/96 FLAC, but a little easier to tell the difference between the hi-res files and 16/44.1. Space btwn instruments, timbre, decay, attack... all a little better.

      Lots of good music being dialed up - if "What Are You Listening To Now" thread is any indication!
