Yeah I read through the first page.. just couldn’t believe some rando gave such a pompous title to his thread.

I think that it was simply split off from another, longer thread?

He didn't title it that himself, it was a mod split from the Magni 3+ thread. Admit being mildly surprised at how *eager* they were about things, I ended up getting my heckles raised enough to stick my nose in.

Dammit.

And RIP Manu Dibango

And Stuart Gordon

Got it on Kindle for 2 bucks

I just looked and unfortunately the Kindle price is now back up to $13. Still worth it but no longer a steal.

Jumped on the $2 kindle version too.

Right now enjoying sipping coffee on a central Texas balcony in the countryside just overlooking some oaks and mostly just hearing birds. Moments that don’t exist in China.

@Gaspasser I haven’t been in China since January 20 so it’s all good. We left for vacation and then all hell broke loose. We hung out in Thailand for awhile but today we flew in from Singapore.

For some reason I thought you moved to China. I’m glad I was wrong. Enjoy being back home!

Yeah I do live in China but we left for vacation on Jan 20 and then all the Coronavirus stuff hit big time. So we didn’t go back. That’s a significantly abbreviated version. We hope to go back in around 2 months.

There's some audiophool bullshit there, supporting the CD's are best thesis, but, on the whole, classical methods to play classical music seem to make sense.

But there is more audiopholery. Does it matter if the data is "streamed" from Scandanavia or Bristol? Not a jot (cf Archimago)

But does it matter if it passes through software that compresses it, or gets played on some end device that, apparently, was never meant to sound better than a 1980s radio alarm clock anyway?

(Is it true that these devices compress? I know nothing about them and don't want/need anything to do with them?)

Most people here don't care if their music comes from a local hdd or a data farm in Timbuk3. But they care very much what happens to it next. That's why we are here.

It's crazy in South Korea as well. 've been placed under quarantine for a week now, unable to go anywhere outside (no, I'm not infected).

Sorry to hear all of this. Sounds like a disaster. Be well and keep us updated.

Thanks, man. We’ve decided to head back to the US for a couple of months.

@ductrung3993 i would also rather see the Joshua fight NEXT. I almost said that in my post too.

Yeah that does make the most sense to have that fight next, not instead of naturally.

and now there are news on Wilder trying to activate his rematch clause...

I looked it up, different Pancake House lol. Figured it was a franchise and a case of region-specific exclusives, turns out that they just shared a name :))

This thread made me look up those sausages. Fuck it now I'm hungry.

I tried the sausages tonight. Pretty good. The flavors are unmistakably Thai. You feed me that in Dallas and its taking me straight back to Thailand.

My son, on the other hand, had Auntie Anne's pretzel dogs for dinner. What can I say? He loves his fast food.

Cool how close he got it to the Fantastic Mr. Fox / Isle of Dogs vibe & how those are shot.

The cover art is good, but the horse could've been used more creatively.

What else is in that set? Lego Black Site with detailed torture dungeon!

BTW, I pretty much only use Grab to get around here so no red cars. :)

Oh whoops, thought you were new to the town, I sounded like an overly excited local for a minute there haha. Enjoy your stay!

Hey, man, no prob! It’s an exciting place. :) already enjoying!

41C is pretty bad even for those of us that are used to it in mid summer and who don't go much under +20C in mid winter. I am not sure if I would have ever experienced -16C: I don't think my parts of UK ever got that cold. Freezing, yes, but maybe not -16C freezing.

Welcome to the world of the cheap hot dog!

I’ve experienced 41 or higher plenty of times in Texas summers. It’s just weird to step on that plane in such extreme cold and step off in such heat!

It was weird enough when I used to come from +single-digit-C England to 30+C India as a tourist. And weirder going back.

@spwath yeah and King Crimson has been one of my favorite bands for like 35 years. I’ve probably listened to them more than any other band. I have played around with the Strawberry Fields intro too though.

@Deep Funk I was really into the Doors in high school. I dont really recall them using a Mellotron.. just the electric organ.

Some of their melodies and grooves were infectious. I might have mistaken the instrument they used.

@insidious meme All Taobao for me. :)

Yes, but you might want to check out gearslutz or muffwiggler for the right sort of nerds. There's a bit of a small box renaissance in the last N years, lots of good options both digital and analogue, so you're in luck.

Thanks, @Kattefjaes. I hadn’t yet gotten around to finding forums & through muffwiggler I found forum.audiob.us which looks like a great resource for iOS stuff.

O(verhyped) H(ot garbage) S(cience!)

The turden turd.

The Gilded Grundle for products that - look we can figure that part out later I just really wanted to type "gilded grundle" on the internet Post Comment.

@m17xr2b the more I've read, the more I'm convinced that the vast majority of those commenting on audio haven't had enough exposure to know any better. Can't trust yourself when you haven't heard it.

I know, there was some poor bastard claiming he can't hear the difference between a SS and tube amp on HD800. Everyone chimed in to say tubes are shit. This is why you should never start with high end but people are very impatient these days. It's about the journey not the destination.

@m17xr2b Trusting myself is how I turned into an asshole and joined a community of assholes.

Internet in 2008: Grado SR60 is amazing! Best headphone under $100!

Me in 2008, getting an SR60: WTF is this shit?
