Deep Funk

Deep thoughts - Friend, Male, from Amsterdam

Busy, long-term goals in sight and improving my cooking skills. A good risotto is worth all the preparation. Tomorrow ratatouille. Mar 26, 2024 at 5:53 PM

      Beethoven's 5th through the Vali 2 sounds alive. This is all I want from this hobby. Now I hope a live performance is possible, if ever...

        Beethoven's 5th is in the repertoire of most orchestras. If you have one remotely nearby, you should be able to catch it once every few years.

      PortaPro + Tidal HiFi on my smart phone. Not bad really. In the mean time finally time for music. All work and no music is bad for the soul.

        Almost two years of running around. I can continue this madness for at least three more years but a decade no. Without proper promotion and development opportunities, five years max.

        Hospitality is fun for a short while...

      When internet is so bad that 720p video stalls it in 2017 you know your ISP is beyond salvation. Now video is in 480p and still slow speeds.

      WiFi is bad. Streaming in 720i is too much for my connection. Thus I buy my series on DVD when I can. I am going viber in the near future...

        UBNT has cheap access points that have been rock solid. (I have a single UAP AC LR serving a 2 storey brick house) Mine is reaching about 100D of uptime now, although I'll reset it to upgrade the firmware soonish.

        This of course only makes sense if wired is rock solid and wireless is flaky.

        I've have ubiquity solutions, eero, orbi, etc. The reason I like Google wifi is there's an app and my wife can easily use it. Is she working at home? She can open the app and set her computer to priority so she gets super high quality video conferencing and any DSD or high bitrate PCM I'm streaming to work doesn't affect the quality of her connection.

        Internet connection is inconsistent. WiFi through the house is inconsistent. Some moments you cannot watch on-line video in 720i, some moments 1080i online video is fine. More the former than the latter and I am too annoyed.

        Even newspaper websites load slowly. That is not good...

        Changeling had an old Siemens E88CCa from 1962, the Halske. Coupled to the Vali 2, I could hardly believe my ears. This small combination sounds beyond good.

        Try find a good one or even a matched pair. The supplies of these and similar tubes are limited and the prices indicate that. Not everyone wants to spend this kind of money on a small 9pin tube...

        A good Siemens/Telefunken/... E288CCa which comes close is more affordable.

        The Vali 2 is too much fun. Even if I upgrade, the Vali 2 remains. It is like the Koss Portapro of tube amplifiers if you ask me. The best no. Fun, hell yeah!

        welcome to the tube rollers club! I've got one waiting for me at my PO Box an another due by Friday :D, Fun is a bit of an understatement... I think madness is more accurate

        Even after I found my "best" tube I still can't fight the urge to try others...
