LetMeBeFrank

Get well soon! Wife & I have managed to avoid it so far.

Not a judgement on you, but a friend said her colleague has had it 5x. And that's in Taiwan where numbers have been very low. She refused to wear a mask when it was mandatory because it interfered with her lipstick, went to parties, etc. Guess she figures Covid variants are like Pokemons.

Yeah that's a weird mentality to me. I've been complying with all mask mandates.

I do like jumping Lego blocks quite a bit lol

I don't like the way MQA masters sound, that's all.

But if you are only paying for hifi, it has been reported you get 16/44 lossless, not MQA. Is that not correct for that tier?

You are correct, the first time I tried tidal was a 3 month free trial to hifi plus several years ago, and I really hated the MQA masters. Right now I only have hifi, but even if I did have hifi plus it wouldn't use MQA in Plexamp.

Yeah, and there's no way I'm paying $850 for roon when I can get Plex for $120.

I want to use Qobuz. It sounds better. But the catalog is tiny and I hate the app the way they don’t separate EPs from main albums is maddening. I spend so much time clicking through a million albums to find the ones that are actual albums. So I use Tidal mainly. Much better catalog and UI. And works with a Pi2AES. Until there’s an alternative which there probably won’t be, I’ll keep using Tidal.

And I hate Roon so that’s not an option to improve Qobuz.

I saw this on Facebook today! :)

It makes sense. It's easier for them to think they're solving their problems by throwing money at the problems than it is to try to solve any problem by learning something new and applying it.

They got rid of the mf culling (kinda) and they removed archnemesis, so I'm on the hopium lol

Me too LOL. I will try it for myself to see, sucks that it's the only action rpg around.

Last epoch endgame is very boring and grim dawn doesn't really have one, although GD is fun to level up in once a year or so to try a new build. D2R is good but QoL isn't there compared to PoE. D3? Lol.

PoE is just SO good that even in it's worst state it's miles ahead of any other ARPGs.

Virginity Time.

Yeah, I have a feeling I'm going to miss the fingerprint reader, but I do find myself wishing for an easier way to unlock it when it's sitting face up on my desk or in the car mount. As for the size, I had a Note 9 before the 4a5G, and I kinda miss the bigger screen, but I have really big hands.

Did the same for my wife on release day. Got $400 for the 5. She uses the in-screen fingerprint sensor but it's less convenient. And the size is not as nice as the 5.

The 5 must be smaller than the 4a5g because the 7 is slightly smaller, but with a slightly larger screen.

Think of those oil filled A/C or industrial caps as a replacement where electrolytics would usually go. The downside is that they take up a lot of space.

Is there any concern in just running the original caps? Will they fail catastrophically? I love the way my Cornwalls sound, so I don't really want to change them, but I also don't want to cause damage to the drivers.

Changing caps of the same values won't cause damage to the drivers, however you may or may not like the sound. I changed the old oil caps on some first gen Heresey's and it livened them up some. Certainly took some "haze" away, but also revealed how piercing the high-mids can be.

I too love my Klipsch horns. We should make a horn bros club

Impressive, congrats on BWC
Also Frank was the best.
Are you gonna sell me your subwoofer on the cheap now ?

I'm keeping the sub for now. I'll have to see how they do with movies, but I'm waiting on a new panel for my Nano 9. Slumming it with the 11 year old TV for now.

Those need subs.

I got the same sub about a month ago. It’s an impressive unit!

I've really enjoyed my SB-2000s. Been tempted many times to bring them down to try them out for HT duty but I can't bring myself to disconnect them from my desk setup. Too addicting.

Qobuz had it available in lossless to download.

And there I was listening to Halsey on replay.. thinking 'so this is what Francis is into.'

I don't know who that is, but I listen to pretty much everything except modern country and "rap".

Did something new happen?

Just saw one on Facebook that was really ridiculous, and I've been seeing them more lately, decided to just start reporting them.

'cause, we're like, the best.

So. Much. Noise. I forgot how bad other forums were after using SBAF exclusively for several years. Joined a couple car forums in January and I just can't deal with them.

I was on MiataForum for a long time, also a good S/N ratio like SBAF.
