LOL, makes me want to give the test a shot just for fun.

I’m torn on this @jayeshrc. Unfortunately, I don’t think he’s going away. For masochists with time to spare, participating at ASR to elicit embarrassing responses from him seems like a decent second-best strategy.

dont think that's going to make him go away or slow down.. Something like "when youve got haters, youre doing something right", sometimes just the attention

Amir: We know Revel speakers are good because they are designed to score well in the preference rating, but other speakers that score well in the preference rating are not good if I don’t subjectively like them.

I'm beginning to see why people there are so confused sometimes. Though to their credit, there are some people in there that get how neither experience nor data can account for everything and don't necessarily invalidate each other. They just don't get included much in conversation, except to get shut down.

This is beautiful. Amir is melting down. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/the-frailty-of-sighted-listening-tests.15114/

Darkness is my favorite, too. I've been reading some bios and listening to more of his catalog for something I'm writing. I've always loved him, but there's a lot of great stuff that I've missed before.

My dad was a roadie with him. Met him a few times. Kinda young to remember.

For me, Nebraska is one of those once in a lifetime albums.

I am so, so sorry for you and your neighbors. The loss of beloved pets is terribly hard to take. My parents’ dogs passed a decade ago and I still miss them. I hope it’s a comfort to know you helped Jeb to have a happy life. Take care of yourself.

So sorry to hear this. My condolences. Loss of a furry companion is never easy, even when we know it is inevitable.

Thank you for all the kind words everyone. It's really hard to have been walking and petting him, then to find out 12 hours later that he's gone. I miss his floppy ears and goofy face.

Depends what you mean by quality. Most of them just want to window shop or decipher graphs are 30 dollar iems. I do like the ones with music recs.

I wonder if they realize human beings are not robots. “commander Data’s audio forum”.

people need a different hobby

I meant to post this doozy, too: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/research-project-infinity-il10-speaker-review-measurements.14310/

Of course the one piece of equipment I forget to put felt under and this happens! I know there are ways to get water stains out from under finishes, but nothing I saw online was helpful for this weird wine-ring made by rubber feet.

Damn Sorbothane did that to my dresser and the marks have been there for 20 years and counting

I'm suddenly craving noodles. Thanks.

Hope to read your pillow reviews soon. :]

I’d stay away from noodle-stuffed pillows, @Lyander. Then again, I only tried a rigatoni pillow.

drinking beers listening to music > soldering ATM.

These K-Dramas aren't going to watch themselves.

there ain’t nothin’ like the smell of burning solder flux, and the vague awareness that all this goodness is carcinogenic.

He is truly a gentleman. I imagine he looks and talks like Sir Hammerlock.

MS-DOS

I told him that he can buy one of many cheap USB to SPDIF converters on the market, but he is insisting that because the DAC’s USB input doesn’t work with his computer, that means the DAC is broken. He also claims to be a “computer tech,” yet one who apparently doesn’t understand how drivers work. Sigh.

He has figured out the driver situation and no longer wants to return the DAC. Hallelujah.

One would think the Sold DAC would be better.

It depends on if you want to keep it or not, I think.

What is going on this week? Crazy.

And only 66!

What happened to anima?

Too popular?

Here's a symptom of old age: not feeling a slight thrill when an attractive woman walks into one's almost-all-male community. Sad, eh?

But a better gender balance would be nice.

Thanks for the kind comments. All of the TBVOs I’ve done are linked below. I’m pretty intense about them, both on the recording history and mastering. Up next is probably Madman Across the Water or There’s a Riot Goin’ On. Blue and Electric Warrior are also in the mix for the next few. https://audiophilestyle.com/ca/the-best-version-of/

That is a lot to go through. I'll have to read through it when I have time. Had a long ass day at work today.

Roland Orzabal is still the greatest pop band name ever. Nice writeup!
