@ChaChaRealSmooth I think we can make an exception for you, assuming you're secretly an eccentric crime-fighting billionaire bachelor.

I have years of good experience with the big Sunbox I bought back in ~'05. According to my my really good doctor, people don't get enough Vitamin D at any time of the year. Even multivitamins have relatively little D. So I take it year round.

I live in tropics. Vitamin D deficiency is common because people try to avoid the sun!

Congrats. As you settle in, I’d love to hear more impressions, particularly comparing with your older table. I’m not planning a purchase soon, but one day, I’d like to get a 1210G or 1210GR.

Sounds like a job for 3D printing!

Print out the simple-to-use diagrams from the provided links. They make the task so much easier.

Or wait, does the op belong under audio surrealism or under courier tragedy?

Heresy!

Theresy.


(listen in mono. Get both)

Do tell! Which ones?

@Justin S The SP-BS22. https://www.pioneerhomeusa.com/product/sp-bs22-lr/ I think they were the second or third speaker Andrew Jones made for Pioneer. I got the towers to make a theater setup out of them, but the BS22 themselves are great near-fields for $100 (at the time).

Try re-terminating the ends first. Those are what usually fails.

@Kernel Kurtz Thanks for the sanity check. It's worth a try anyway... not like I can make it any worse.

I picked up an Ethernet cable tester for this exact reason. Life. Saver.

Somebody once told me that he got much better sound from his amplifier after having the power cables /welded/ in place.

Yeah... give me IEC. As long as they are moulded on. I've hand wired a few. Awful job. The stripping and cutting has to be /just/ right!

how are you feeding it?

@crenca In the first phase here I'm rotating around a few existing Cambridge toys: CXC CD for Coax; CXN Streamer for Optical passthrough; I have a Pi sitting around here for BNC and USB -- I just need to find which box I put it in.

just making sure your were not relying on sub Unison USB...

Get your Christmas shopping done early! ;)

Mostly for myself eh?

And who says class A is inefficient.

Addictive right?

@Azimuth Highly. This is one of my favorite combos right now, especially when I need a jolt of mental energy.

It certainly demands your attention. I never tried it with Focals, but I can only imagine.

Computer status messages: proof that time is a construct because if that was 1 minute?

Was it an interesting argument at least, or redeeming in any way? (Doubtful.) We had these neighbors across the driveway in Chicago who would argue in clichés. "If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times!" It was hilarious.

The worst that ever happened to me in a restaurant was a very pretty, very smart girl at a dinner party who was offended by something (unclear what). Out of nowhere, she exploded, "Oh, f**k you!!! I am *not* talking to you anymore!" I rolled my eyes purposely for the whole table to see, and drily said, "If any of you gentlemen needs me, I'll be at the bar." And casually walked away.

Given our proximity to one another I've probably been at that sushi place. But some of the other places I've been, i'd imagine an old angry asian woman coming out from the kitchen to give the offenders a verbal beating and large dose of shame.
