        Among the best 40 mins of hockey (after 2 periods) I've ever seen. A very cohesive team game.

      Connect by T-Mobile cheap pre-paid plans, any drawback? Same Cust service?

        Normally worse customer service. I had T-Mobile Pre-Paid and while it was good...it was way overpriced for my needs. I'm on Mint Mobile that uses T-Mobile towers. Don't expect the fastest speeds but it really gets the job done for me.

        Ah y'know what, looking through the manual I think the cleanbox actually only does the conversions but doesn't do dual output. The DTI will output both though since it's all tapped off the same transformer. It would be better to do that than use a y splitter because the splitter will ground the negative legs of XLR which you usually don't want to do.

        I read that you can take a balanced hot, float the negative, and use the shield for ground on an unbalanced wiring to avoid using the negative of the balanced signal. Need to check the Rane guide for wiring.

        it's *probably* fine, but there's a chance that having the uneven loading on the pos/neg legs may cause bad mojo which is why using a DI box is the safer route

        I am considering the Apple. Worried that it might not have enough power to drive my budget Sony MH755, the LG does when I trick it into high power mode. I'll check out the Helm as well.

        FWIW Apple dongle works well enough with headphones. Looked up measurements and the voicing of the Sony might not be flattering to the dongle though.

        Apparently the Apple for USB C is volume deficient, as are the Google and Samsung? Probably looking for 90 or so mW @32 ohm.

        Maybe they can come up with a new bad name every year, then abandon it 2 games into the season and go back to Football Team.

        I don't think they reveal the new name until early Feb... but I guess someone could have leaked it to see what the reaction is. Personally, I'd go with the current WFT, because I'm sure a lot of their fans go WTF WFT?!?! after their games.

        Actually, covid has been no big deal for the vast majority of sufferers, who didn't even need to go to a hospital. And it's also killed a lot of people.

        But hey, y'all know all this: just venting at the anti-vaxer
