Looks like the IRS is delaying the reporting on income over $600 on 3rd party platforms until 2023 Dec 24, 2022

    Just edited my comment to reflect that the reporting will apparently still go into effect in 2023. Sorry for any confusion!

    99% of the time it isn’t even selling to “to supplement their income”. Personal sellers are almost always selling for less than their cost basis. So it requires a bunch of paperwork to show that by people in a situation for which there is very little tax fraud.

    Ya let's shake down some middle or working class person for 25% of the $20 profit they made selling old video games and trinkets while paying the agents $50+/hr for 2+ hours.
    
    But of course we can't amend the tax code to actually tax large corporations or, more importantly, reduce waste + increase efficiency in government spending b/c HURRRUR DURRRRR HURRR I WURK AT GUBAMINSSSSS GIMME CHEESSSEEEE!!##^@!!!!

  Switched out a Yggdrasil OG for the Sonnet Pasithea. Even from USB it is a better fit with the Aficionado.

    The chain is PC (USB)->Pasithea->EC Aficionado->GenG 1.1. There is a weight or meat to the sound that wasn't there with the Yggdrasil.

  Does anyone know someone who would be willing to install the feedback mod w/ switch in an Aficionado?

    Is there a description of the mod online somewhere? I solder reasonably well and studied electronics in college…and I'm close!

    I ended up finding someone with the help of @jexby. I definitely appreciate the offer! When it's safe again, the DFW/surrounding area should definitely get together for a meet!

  Got an email from Audio46 about a new headphone coming out from Focal on 1/28. Anyone heard anything about this?

    Looking at the specs/design it strikes me as a Stellia like (low resistance/sensitive so easy to drive out of phones/DAPs, closed back), but with cheaper Clear based Al/Mag diaphram driver. So NOT a Utopia closed back, which the Stellia already is mostly. The second coming of Eligia - Eligia V2 in other words...

    Hopefully they sound better than the Elegia, some of the weirdest sounding headphones I’ve ever heard.

    Was it from Stripes? Stopped by for breakfast burritos almost everyday when I was working in Houston. They were quite tasty.

    Nice. Fairly nearby to my office. You'll find some good gas station tacos nearby. And of course barbecue.
    
    I think @Vtory works in the medical field in Fort Worth.

  This was the worst all-around Super Bowl experience that I can remember.

    Good defense is 85 Bears crushing New England. This was a garbage super bowl for Kraft since Goodell's is his tool.

    Feel asleep during the game a few times at a super bowl party. Everyone got really tired pretty much 3/4 of the time.

    Lowest total points in Super Bowl history. Glad I had that coffee around 2:30. We had someone nod off at my party as well. But hey I won the betting pool at halftime!

    I don't have a more powerful amp to compare it to, but I feel like it's being driven quite well with the ADI-2 Pro. I would like to try it with something with even more power though to see if I'm missing out.

    The Code-LEX is a modded HE-5LE. (Code-X=HE-5, Code-Sex=HE-6, Code-LEX=HE-5LE).
