@SoupRKnowva - you missed Muziqboy's modified Convert-2. All internal power supplies replaced with combination LPS / Lion.

In the last week when I am in the mood for HD6x0 tonality it usually results in DSHA-3F to Focal Clear with Sonarworks bypassed. My top choice headphone is HD800-Jmod as described here:https://www.head-fi.org/threads/the-diyrs-cookbook.781268/page-87#post-14447507

I have spent many enjoyable hours listening to Liquid Platinum and HD6x0. But the magic really happens for me with the HD800-Jmods and any of the Tres Amigos.

Tres Amigos:
ECP Audio DSHA-3F
Cavalli Liquid Platinum
Schiit Lyr3

Good!

You were supposed to insert an "o" into "cat" so that "white" would make sense. But hey... it's the way I tell 'em ;)

It is even more convoluted: his full name is Dr. Emmett T. Brown. T for trouble and not to be confused with Doc in Back to the Future. Well sort of.

Lab results for lab cat were within normal range - likely a one-off event. Life has returned to regularly scheduled chaotic program. AES meeting was a great interview of Bob Ezrin. DSHA-3F is proving to be a fantastic listen, especially nice presentation of Pink Floyd.

I thought this was gonna be about getting together with a old flame and meeting the son you never knew you had.

@zonto: it does sound like a fortune. Maybe I have a new career awaiting.
@DigMe: if that were so the son would likely be The Checkered Demon's protege.

@Psalmanazar - after many hours listening I have enjoyed the tonal balance. There is one small niggle - a slight mains hum which can only be heard in the acoustic lab when ambient sound levels are very low.

cold and misty waterfront - ducked into a bistro for hot fare but did manage 45 min walking.

Clam chowder?

Clam chowder was my first choice - wife wanted breakfast - wise man knows when to compromise. Cornmeal waffle, ham and wine was good though.

Straight up space constraints, or something more complex to do with balancing throughput?

Oof. I always like to recommend FreeNAS-based solutions, because usually this type of stuff just isn't necessary.

I had to shave a yak yesterday; feel your pain.

Reconfigured automatic backups from several workstations reverted to a smaller NAS and proceeded to run it out of space. Large NAS setup specifically for backups was only 10% used. All fixed now but no progress on any other projects for the duration.

I mean, to hear the 21st bit at its intended volume peaks have to be at what 126db? More with dithering. I like my ears too much these days so the LSBs are lost no matter what.

Maybe there's info in the 21st because peaks are very low but eh, attn. is done in fp64 anyway, so it mostly works out for those times when you do want digital attn.

I'll try that out one of these days, though the realities of nervosa mean I'll always turn the digital off for serious listening, no matter what I hear.

If you can stand some electronic music, try Pantha Du Prince/Bell Laboratory: Elements of Light for some hand struck bells and percussion, plus a bell carillon.

The worst is reading some of the usual BS and being so disillusioned that you can't be bothered even refuting it any more. And thats how the endless myths continue re-perpetuating. Even after you supply measurements that objectively refute the claims - you still get the same old "but I trust my ears"

I'm using the free versions of Benchvue which are limited to 1 hr per data logging exercise. If I'm going to spend real money I will likely go with National Instruments Lab View.

LabVIEW has quite a few other issues, ignoring license requirements (big ask), but I would still be hamstrung with long runs for the same NI-VISA limitations (we see it on fully loaded 34970 chassis).

What kind of issues are you having on long runs with Labview?

Link 1 was fascinating.

Looking into further reading, the Beck book from 1953 is now a print of demand from Cambridge U Press, and Valley can be had print-on-demand, leather-bound from India for 40 bucks with free shipping. What a brave new world we live in.

Link 1 is tubes 201 whereas link 2 is valves 101. Visuals in link 2 are some of the best I've seen for introductory material. The rest of that site has some other interesting topics.

excelente!! thanks

I am really into this scotch retreat

Sláinte!

Oh, she give me moonshine whiskey
Oh, she give me southern love
Deep in the heart of Texas
There beneath the stars above
Oh, she give me southern comfort
Oh, she give me moonshine love
Deep in the heart of Texas
There beneath the stars above

that remedy sounds a lot better than raw garlic and greens, hmmm!

I'm the antichrist personified... but I love Christmas lights!

And... Happy 25th December to all, whatever :)

PS... I worked for a greeting-card company for 16 years. Lots and lots of robins in snow and stuff like that... but we did not do glitter!

Banjos are awesome. A true banjo virtuoso can be just a good a tear jerker as a violin virtuoso. Patty Smith's cover of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" has a banjo in it. It adds a dimension to the song I never heard before.

Hey, I like Bela Fleck (banjo), Steve N Seagulls (banjo + accordion) etc. but putting that trio together is just asking for trouble.

Or get somebody dead.

Glad I missed it.

Meh, we get more from you guys than you get from us deleting random crap and banning people.

Damn, dude. I think you've set a new longevity record for Wal-Mart greeters. Congrats!!

Welcome to Wal-Mart. Now get your shit and get out!

Are you going to see each other again?

Oh man, a whole weekend! I'd almost kill for that!

Anybody 'round here good with kids for a weekend?!

A weekend off, no responsibilities, no distractions, no family obligations, just some quiet time to actually enjoy each other's company. A nice fire, grilled meat, bottle of good red and, of course, lord of the manor, The Cat, alternating between our laps.

Plenty. Two days of experiments with many failures. Analysis of data from failures + re-reading literature = Light Bulb!

Are you doing measurements of cables? Cuz that sounds fun (to read about after you've done all the hard work)

Yes, interconnect cables from 8 vendors. Several days of valid measurements following several days of learning.
