Azimuth

Came off as a bit clumsy with words. I can relate.

U American? Is normal.

Thank you for the opportunity!

Yes thank you for letting me hear your precious! :)

any thoughts vs. SW51?

@yotacowboy Vali is thicker, exhibits more tube warmth, less slam but better bass texture, less overall clarity than SW.

@yotacowboy SW51 is still cleaner, wider, and digs deeper in the details. I was just took by surprise how updated the Vali 2+ and the immediacy you get. The reduced noise floor is amazing.

ooo... now I know what I can do with those stickers. That coaster of yours though is ace.

Get some Milos Lemonade, add some Milos Iced Tea to the mix, get some Jesus.

Heat index over 100 today. Looks the same for tomorrow. Maybe next week. It was 87 today in Jacksonville @YMO. Take your shirt off and relax.

Let's take off our shirts together on a Zoom call @Azimuth

Love mine, good thing to try to snipe off the bay

Give me a pay raise I need some.

Mazel tov!

That’s great news. Congrats

I had read somewhere that it's tuned as a bloated bass "V" signature so I lost interest. I wonder if the driver is any good for modding purposes though (even though I don't mod)

I am quite familiar with Phil's work on 70's era Genesis (I am a big fan of that era, not so much after Peter left). I just have a soft spot for Stewart's work in the Police. I used to be obsessed with them!

Collins’ most interesting drumming is probably with Brand X, if I’ve remembered the name of the band correctly.

Oh, and the jam section in Supper's Ready is in 9/8. They told Dave Brubeck, "5/4? Hold my beer."

Sure what do you need help with? You can PM me if you want. I took it almost 5 years ago but can probably help out a bit.

Did you just have one move into your hood? Buc-ee's is a whole experience while traveling.

I am on vacation in Gulf Shores this week. Stopped by one yesterday.

Oh, and one is moving to Tennessee soon. Somewhere between Nashville and Knoxville.

bit depth=any, sample rate=192, upsample if source < target (adhere to base freq), stereo, quality very high, multithreading yes

these are the settings I use

@Syzygy I set the same, except 24/48, and it plays a 44.1 file at base, but still upsamples to 24 bit. hmmm...this is probably my only option.

And right @dubharmonic, upsampling only increases your DAC oversampling rate essentially.

Aeron is pricey and not everyone likes them but it is the chair I am sitting in right now at work and it is the choice of all my friends. Embody I think is also a pretty good chair if you're not too tall.

Went to Staples and bucket the gaming/racing seat is not for me. Those are only comfortable in a slight recline - not very ero for a desk. I settled on a La-z-Boy Arcadian. Call me old school, but that thing is comfy. I did love Aeron's at the recording studios I worked at. All the studios in Nashville have them.

Sit in an Embody for several hours and several positions before buying. I bought and I don't like it.
Also... the seat is sensitive to water. Now, true, three days under water in a flood is excessive, but it destroyed it. I got it fixed, but gave it to wife for occasional use. I don't care for it.

Everybody hates pipelines until they stop flowing.

@Azimuth Well that’s how ransomeware attacks work usually - not really targeted. Someone opens a bad file at the pipeline control center and that’s it. https://www.theverge.com/2021/5/10/22428996/colonial-pipeline-ransomware-attack-apology-investigation

So crazy. I watched a 60 minutes report where this small hospital got attacked and paid the ransom because trying to fix it would take too much time and it was costing them so much money being down.

This is almost entirely due to dumb shit in the shoutbox vs. contributions/impressions/etc. This metric in terms of audio contribution is v. misleading in my case. Give Chartman friendship :)

I'm just free associating now, but if, in exchange for friend status, @dematted was forced to have "Chartman" as his snark tag, plus the obvious Southpark photoshop avatar that title would imply, perhaps this evens out the discussion around forum status/wish fulfillment.

One more and you get a free sub sandwich.

I think two already qualifies me for a free donut, lol.

But do you get 5G reception everywhere or other super powers?
