Us and them falls apart real easy. Easily the worse sounding track on the album. I also love that drawn out "synth" or "moog" note that drops on certain verses of "time" as well.

@atomicbob is this with the modded 800? 800S?

HD800S. I am spending time with components readily available today. HD800 with mods I prefer the TA-66 with CSF-Thomson 6080W, but I could live with either.

Any South African bottles left?

@GoodEnoughGear Kanonkop Pinotage was the last one consumed just a few weeks back, thank-you! Had it with a grilled fillet mignon. Very delightful.

Settle down Gastronomicbob! ;)

Awesome! Life is good!!

Happy to hear Bob!

Time you share is a gift which you may bestow upon your cherished companions and family. Don't let the pettiness of the world rob you of those special moments.

On the other hand, I still quite enjoy when my 2 year old, going on 2 months old, Johnny hound doggo jumps from the top of the couch onto my laptop and bites me in the face. He's still figuring things out. "PLAY WITH ME" is still the most accessible phrase in his vocabulary.

@Priidik you are blessed with some great furry companions.
@yotacowboy when requested, remember to play with your pup. Their time in our lives is all too fleeting.

We have two story house - the upstairs is cat domain, of course.
There is a choice - go nap in upstairs, 100% chance one or both cats will be residing on me, one most likely on my face, the other one on my tummy.
Downstairs big sofa is where the dogs are fused with it most of the time.

Having a good dentist is critical. A close relative had a bad one who cut corners by pretending temp fillings were permanent. They spent decades digging out from under that.

Sorry to see you're going through that. Hope you recover quickly and come back stronger.

Sorry to hear, Bob!! GF has been dealing with similar dental scope creep. I fear some of it is a money grab by the dentist… “while we’re in there…”

Happy to read this!

The neighbor has been out walking again. Had multiple stents. He is almost back to his fast walking pace again.

Glad you’re getting your shots and minimizing your risks. Rest well.

I *never* had a reaction to a vaccine, so I was always gung-ho about them and totally unprepared for what happened with my second covid shot. It only lasted 12-18 hours but it was *awful*

Be well, Bob, and may your flu vaccine work well.

I hope you and your wife have a quick and smooth recovery.

Live the volumes were fine. The ‘AI’ generated list of songs played is a different story.

Fiona, Marianne, Sinead,..outstanding

Oh, it runs in the family!!

That's the most awesome thing I've read today.

Well deserved, Bob, well deserved. Cheers

The Lab Cat (Thomas) is very spoiled these days. He also has considerable lap time with the spare human (my wife.)

630+ graphs and a few recordings which I am vetting and consolidating for an output of less than 70 for posting. Writeup nearly finished. Need to go enjoy cat on lap in front of a fire with a glass (or two) of good red.

You and me both. This is why I sometimes want to cook my cat.

Plus they make the best sweet and sour chicken.

And why oh why, when we put a newspaper in front of them, do they refuse it and vomit on the mat anyway!

I listen between 75 and 85 dBSPL which is lower than many listeners. HP drivers are not moving as far which may account for my divergent opinion of HD800S and EQ. I use Sonarworks for HP correction. In my chain I drop level by 7 dB before allowing any EQ. For sub bass boost I insert +7 dB shelf at 15 Hz with Q=0.53 using EQuick.

I thought, for a moment, that you were going to say "between 75 and 85 RPM!"

@Thad E Ginathom It's possible but you need a power assisted chair and a much longer cable.
Ah yeah sonarworks is not an option for me(different sources besides pc), i tried it in the past and couldn't quite replicate what they do with other eq software.

Oh yeah, the kids and family have been passing it around and getting waves over the past 2 months. I was holding out as long as I could and then...hopefully only one long wave for me.

I had one flu after another since early December. I have enough prescribed meds to classify my pee as toxic discharge. Get well soon @atomicbob and all you guys. Wishing everyone good health.

Wow! Many of you have had some pretty nasty crud! My symptoms are limited to periods of nose running like Niagara Falls, sinus congestion, less than zero energy, cognitive degradation and sleeping a lot.

@roshambo123 pardon my ignorance, but in this context what does WCF mean?

White Cathode Follower

While all three amps are cathode follower designs, I don't believe they qualify as WCF types. These amps have plate of driver connected to grid of output tube and both tubes have cathode connected to ground via a resistor. No driver cathode to output tube plate connection.

Can't drink it at all. So sad: I love the smell, love the flavour.

@Thad E Ginathom Apparently I no longer can either. Like you I love the smell and taste, but it doesn't love me.

I, too, cut out most caffeine at the suggestion of my cardiologist. still can't shake my morning cappuccino, but quicker extraction means less caffeine.

Many projects begun, none completed sufficiently for posting.
Often my feline companion beckons me to sit in front of the fireplace and provide a warm lap with a drink at my elbow.
Such is life now.

Tonight offers a great example of enjoying the benefits provided by many years of wisdom gained. Several hours by the fire watching a BW movie from the 1930's with a cat snoring in my lap and enjoying a fine red beverage. Remember to take time for things that matter in your respective lives.

I was thinking it would be John Betjeman or someone like him. Turns out it's The Moody Blues! They didn't appeal to me: maybe I should give them another chance some time.

May you have good music to keep you company during exercise. Monotonous routines are heavier on the mind than they are on the body IMO

Music is great to set a workout pace for indoor steps. Outside I prefer the sounds of nature. O2 is to combat an issue I have developed called exercise induced desaturation.

Good to know you’re keeping to exercising. Staying healthy by staying fit. More power to you, AB!

There should be a heart button on profile posts like these.
I can only hope that the results are a perfect score of all clears.

You’re a brave man. More power to you.

Bob, congratulations on surviving it all so far. Long may you continue to do so.

Cheers!
