Having all your QB's put on quarantine will at least have the game put at a curiosity level of a big time circus side show.

With the altitude and the legal weed, guaranteed high viewership...

"Live music might never recover,” he says, according to Rolling Stone. Of course, no one will ever go to a live show again once the pandemic is over. [sarcasm]. (@rtaylor76: as someone originally from next-door Sussex, I completely agree).

What is "it"? I don't do social media - is it this "anti-lockdown" song? Is he an anti-masker flat earther?

Partly @crenca. And his drunken racist tirade back in 1976.

This pic in dictionary. An agglomeration of newish items thought to be hip, placed in a shrine like setting and pics of which are used to bolster an online ego and is not for listening. oops sorry @robot zombie haha

@bixby I think a lot of people, especially first-timers, genuinely don't know the basics about how to set up a speaker system. I also think a fair chunk of vinyl lovers are not what we would call "audiophiles", it's just a fun way for them to listen and connect to their music. And heck, some of the recent posts in the SBAF 'Pictures of your speaker system' thread make you scratch your head too.

I know, just friendly poking, that's all.

I almost think ~$600 is no man’s land for bookshelf speakers. Maybe DIY is a better option in the under $1200 realm.

@rlow- My single driver DIYs that have been heavily EQ'd for my main setup. Was going to sell them but cannot find anything to replace them. My older SP Tech monitors were also great. For a desk, the PSB Alphas are very good.

Funny I was going to ask if you’ve heard the Alpha’s. The new ones are well reviewed and ASR panned them, so they must be decent ;-)

YAY! Let's take the worst connector and make it even worse.

It's like everyone forgot that mini-XLRs have existed for years. First the RSA connector, then the 2.5 and 3.5 trrses, then Pentaconn, now this.

Yes, it is a product with no need whatsoever. Want small and audiophool? Make TRS out of unobtainium. Audioquest probably do already.

I’ll be curious. I’ve never managed to hear the difference in resistors. I suspect it matters where they are, and in what topology, of course.

I like them better than the Dale wirewound MRA series I had been using. They are in the signal path right before the output, so def audible. Letting them burn in if that is such a thing for resistors.

Mom! California be burning again!

Least it wasn't caused by another gender reveal party.... Hopefully

Planet on fire ... so many at risk ... be safe all of you located near the front lines of climate change.

Audizr? That really smooths the first ~500 Hz. Spectroid gets me closer to REW sweeps but it still isn't great.

Audizr, but not there, it showed way more 5-8khz energy in room than was really there. I had cuts so deep, no wonder it sounded smoove, haha. My friend uses an app for iphone that is calibrated to its mic, results much better.

Woah! I sincerely hope the fires are contained soon and all of you remain unscathed.

There's ANOTHER fire nearby as well. It's insane.

Shit...stay safe everyone. Seriously.

@Hammy - I think so the graph said 10 min ave. US EPA 2.5.

Morning now dn to 30

and today the Calwood fire between Boulder and Lyons. cmon 2020- just end already.

I just took a drive and it is almost on the plains north of Boulder Res.

People say Qutest is basically the H2 without HP amp and battery, and may actually be a bit better as pure DAC. If he doesn’t need the HP amp and portability, and considering the $ diff, I’d personally go with the Qutest among those 3 at least. The BP DAC is supposedly pretty smooth /euphonic if you really want that, but coloured as hell and fairly low-rez as far as I’ve read (+ measures like crap, if that matters)

Qutest is a nice DAC and is generally available for 1200 in used market. You won't go wrong with it. It's little flexible with 1 to 3v line out. Border Patrol may need careful pairing with amp due to its very high output impedence but may have that dense tone of R2R DAC.

Just when I thought I couldn’t dislike an audio company more, they go and name one of their products the “Qutest”. Friends don’t let friends buy products with a name like that.

surf?

no, thought I was typing into search box then hit enter and could not delete. edited to nada....surf, haha

it’s bad on all channels and tvs. there’s no way real jets fans ever sound that loud.

What is a Jets fan? Some kind of airplane part?

@DigMe HOLY SHIT I completely set myself up for that one, haha. Good catch XD

:D

I always thought Subway bread had a weird distinct taste. I guess it was the yoga mat ingredient, which I never knew about.

Oh, Canada.

Wasn't a bad anthem until they made it gender neutral, uuuuugh.

Going to be crazy. I perfer a Conservative court but I hate how toxic it is. There's people shooting fireworks because of her death where I'm at in celebration. Sad.

We're all going to be Kentucky fried.

I visited both Kentucky and Scotland last night in her honor. I will deeply miss her contributions to jurisprudence.
