      RE: SLI - It helps with frames/sec on demanding games like RDR2, but haven’t thought about it from a bang for the buck perspective.

      Cleaned new LP. Put it back in sleeve. Took it out to play. Looked at grooves w/ magnifier. Debris! Re-cleaned b4 playing. Sigh...

      Not sure what happened to Star Wars franchise. My son, a HUGE fan, said he has given up on Star Wars. What changed?!

        Agreed on Rogue One, it’s the only one of any worth. But even there only so much.

        I went in with ZERO knowledge or exposure to DP. After a few minutes, I'm like... kinda reminds me of... Chic?! Then... noticed the Nile Rodgers credits on the album. No wonder I fell for DP/RAM so quickly!

      Ever have days where the music just sounds better than it has in a long time? Same gear, same listening area... better experience? Weird!!

        I sincerely think there are so many things that affect our enjoyment of music it can be really hard to account for them all. Could be a slight volume adjustment, less ambient noise, sinuses being clearer, a good glass of whisky etc. etc. Enjoy the music.

        Yes, music sounds very different when tired vs full of energy. Often for no obvious reason. This is why I find very fast judgments of gear always suspect. On a good day very mediocre stuff can sound awesome and vice versa.

      Going to try a Texas rig set-up for some bass fishing this weekend. I'm a total n00b with it, but it should be fun.
