@Vansen I'm sure the Milwaukee bags are nice... but wouldn't some zippered pencil cases be much cheaper? Feels like the Milwaukee are overkill for cables.

Good point. Zipper pouches from brand names are twice the cost for pencils. Generic are 1/2 to 2/3 the cost. For the extra $4, I’ll pay for something that lasts my life and can be used for tools. (I get them for 23 USD for 3 at Ace) (HW store is 1/2 a mile and I’m always there)

Back on topic for headphone cable management. This is how I manage mine. Coil up the cable and hang it. Took photo for another reason, but best I have. https://i.imgur.com/HGepnTK.jpeg

Same to you friendo! Happy Holidays to all at SBAF.

Peace to All

My Vidars are my bedroom heaters till spring. I'll have to turn them off in March or so.

EC ZDS and Freya + are keeping me warm these days….

Probably you've tried this already, but has the grounding wire slipped off? Happens to me often. Some tables have a second grounding wire on the spindle, also.

I had checked the preamp side but not the turntable side, now that you mention it. Good callout.

I would not check either however.

Together, I hauled 50+ LPs with these two. They were heavy.

Thanks so much, mate! I appreciate being pointed in a direction by someone who's done it.

I did a bunch of crate digging this summer over six cities. A pain to carry them, but I don’t think anything got dinged or damaged.

They say getting there is half the fun?

Colorado is pretty nice.

im gonna out myself here, I only use my Gungnir DS for gaming on my PC. mostly cause I dont want to get rid of it and I already have it so I use it.

What's the older DS charm on Gungnir? The A1 Gugnir MB was always a charmer, imperfect as it was.

@roshambo123 For me it's those (at the time) higher end AKM4399 chips before the velvet mush took hold through the whole line.

I also have a GMB-A1 on the primary rack and love it too. Right now it's plenty "good enough" to dodge the temptations of something in Yggdrasil's price range or higher.

Louds good.
Why so many remasters? New rights? New reason to advertise who knows the deal?

@YMO You get a bag of popcorn, mate. Might be a bit stale though.

Don't cheap out. Send him some Garrett: https://www.garrettpopcorn.com

what's a "free gift"...?

I just find it funny that neither Robocop or Blade Runner predicted TikTok and the Tide Pods Challenge.

@yotacowboy Robocop was too busy evolving into the next iteration https://youtu.be/LUf0AzALAOs?si=r8ZbKUoy6d83C3u6

I had fun running a Valhalla 2 as a pre into a Jot for my HE-500/ HE-6 because I wanted the flavor about six years ago. https://i.imgur.com/iJDztFS.jpg

@Vansen I’m liking it so far. The work part has been dialing back the subwoofer’s crossover. The tubes definitely widen out the bottom frequencies.

Oh man, RoPieee has been robust on the RPi 4 and RPi 3 for me. Has me curious. I usually use 128GB high endurance cards on RPis these days, but five years later and I'm still using the cheapest 32gb Samsung and SanDisk cards on my RoPieee players.

Yeah. I also had RoPieee for a long time. No issues either.

I've had one micro SD go bad in a Pi in the last 5 years. Running 4 of them: moOde, Umbrel, 2 OpenBSD-based DNS servers. The latter 2 download and process blacklist files nightly.

At least not the frying pan!

You mean you don't use it as a night-light/space-heater?

I try not to stress if it happens. It's not that big a deal in the scheme of things. If it happens, just means I don't have to wait for it to warm up :p

I do not miss 3-5 days of the week traveling.
