“We gotta get temperatured?!”

Morpheus? They're giving you time to save up for the import duty :) I've got stuff incl. a Pi2AES waiting at a mailbox just across the border - not sure when I'll be able to retrieve any of that :(

You'll love the Pi. I sure do!

Just broke down and requested the mail service to forward everything here. That'll incur additional costs vs picking it up myself, but like you I'm impatient ;)

Trump makes diarrhoea on the carpet look good. I guess there are deeply unpleasant people in all areas of politics. So unpleasant that it is not even necessary to ask about their politics: they are simply something one wouldn't want to step in. Me: ignorant foreigner with two countries' politics closer to home than America. Trouble is, America matters to the rest of us, whether we like it or not.

Has the impeachment thing actually strengthened some of Trump's support? Even I don't think that a bit of wheeling/dealing is enough to shock sufficiently. They should have waited until he was caught red-handed eating a baby ("It was a very perfect meal" lol)

From my perspective it seems that the impeachment strengthened support for Republicans, not necessarily Trump. But it depends on who you ask. I live in Indiana, so most people I interact with are conservative and feel the impeachment was just partisan BS. That said, a lot of people I know here who voted Trump openly agree he is a dumbass most of the time. They just really didn't want Hilary.

Caught a few songs on Spotify. Not really F+tM so much as London Grammar meets Chvrches, but more mainstream pop sounding?

Never heard of em

I used to get tons of random fb friend requests and then lots of PMs asking for reviews, notable conversation: https://i.imgur.com/k1kFWYX.png

Lol... OK..

is the dynamic range on 10000 days any better than the cd? EDIT: I answered my own question, looks like its the same master as the CD...meh. EDIT2: seems like they may be slightly different masters, but dont seem to be worth getting?

I guess these prices make a lot of sense from a vendor’s perspective

From what I've seen, tellurium is a really food conductor, almost as good as 100% copper. But beryillium and phosphorus bronze are like 1/3 as conductive and in TONS of very expensive connectors. Whether it's audible or not I couldn't tell ya.

Side note: Interesting PSA discontinued the Jr. Also see Ted's new talk at AXPONA about his new dac. PSA yt channel.

Yeah I caught wind they were discontinuing it and was one of the reasons I got rid of it.

ah, didn't know you sold it

Quote that back at her when she starts talking about children ;)

But... But.... Expensive children /do/ sound different!

Audiophile says..."hold my beer"

That was quick! Saw your ad when it went up and was going to take the p for the spelling, but then saw you'd changed it ;)

Will be interested to hear your thoughts on it. Think you were looking for an OG Gungnir Multibit as well? Any luck?

I did pick up a Gungnir Multibit A1 as well

I’ll be curious!

The pi Linux builds have Spotify connect modules iirc.

I use a Blu Node 2 myself.

Once the Spotify connect binaries are installed any Spotify player should discover the device. Note, the default bitrate is low. You will need to modify a config file to enable higher.

Thanks guys. Sounds like it's possible to get spotify there, just needs some trial and error. Or give up and just use a Chromecast w/ toslink out and say f-it lol

Which model and why?

Tread carefully my friend. Dealer demos can be misleading. See if you can trial at home whatever you think you're serious about. Good dealers should allow this.

Not saying the ATCs are better for you. But whatever you go after, try to get some time at home with it. Sexiness in store can turn to something entirely different at home.

@zonto The ATC was the SCM40A. And the JBL was a gargantuan 4367. Some comments here:

@rlow you're absolutely right
