Hadn't even thought about him for ages until I was reading the obituary. Deserves huge credit, has a place in history, but no nice guy.

I didn't know he's been found guilty of murder.

I saw some Twitter comments about how he missed Trump's pardon by one day. Savages.

Good grief, I've just read another article about him: he really was a bastard!

that the ymk set?

@Syzygy Kind of endearing, isn't it? I assume it's a mistake, it's a pretty low-quality Aliexpress item: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000644744227.html?spm=a2g0s.12269583.0.0.4706853eDYrrsb

@Cellist88 No, as far as I can tell that one doesn't come in DSA profile, and my goal with these keycaps was to shorten the profile height as much as I could.

Will go down in history as one of the most ugly vehicles right after the Pontiac Aztec.

It's like a stunted growth mid-size SUV.

I rented an Aztec once (not on purpose). As I pulled out of the downtown lot, a staggering old drunk gave me the most disgusted stare, turning to keep me in view until he almost fell over. Like "I might be a bum, but you're driving _that_."

MF DOOM ALL CAPS

One of the greatest.

Ah, haha.. didn’t catch that. A couple of my vocalist friends do this because it makes it easier for them to hit the right key.

Having never used a custom IEM, I'm having to guess what the experience is like. Is it because the mix is not great, or simply because no amount of good mixing can make up for not directly hearing your own voice when singing?

Not really sure not being a vocalist myself but I think it has to do with the difference in sound of what your hear resonating in your head versus what comes through from the mic.

It's not quite as nice as my Corsair K70 with Cherry low profile speed switches, but it's a good feel nevertheless.

Are those Scrabble inspired? Very purty!

I'm not sure where the color scheme inspiration for that set comes from, but I agree, it's purty

No CPU cooler included (if I had one I'd include it but I don't).

I use basically the same hardware after I upgraded my gaming rig years ago as my Roon/lynx E22/music server!

Thanks y'all; this is spoken for now.

I'll take it !

DM'd

Thanks brother !

Good luck! I had a stack similar for a while, but found myself getting serious cricks in my neck looking at the top screen (had Outlook up primarily, with work on the bottom one). Nice video conferencing setup btw.

What's the little angled thing with 3x5 keys/displays just to the left of your lower screen?

That is this: https://www.elgato.com/en/gaming/stream-deck . Even if you don't do any streaming (I do, mostly for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBlQeIjnNVk&list=PLvB5tiM8nvVjVBbl6BN_ugkhl_ToMBBOE) it's a super fun accessory. Wish I'd gotten the XL size.

Switching from tweaked mac minis to win desktops sounds better to me as well. But perhaps it is the player to pc synergy.

I'm a mac guy but I'm probably getting a windows box for gaming since Catalina went 64 bit only. That being said, the new M1 macs seem super impressive.

Yeah, I really hope the M1 pushes the whole industry forward. I still like my iPad Pro for stuff it's good at. Apple's inability to deeply support its dev ecosystem is a risk.

Jvc fd01’s. With spiral dots, those stay in for a while, then they break seal every few minutes. These azlas act like they’re glued in. Amazing

@purr1n word. I’ll try to post something over the weekend

They should have named it the Odo System. The speakers shape shift into the insturment(s) being played. How can you get more real than that?

This reminds me of some bookshelf speakers a neighbor built. He built the box with very thin maple...said that the box resonance should account for something, like an acoustic guitar. I have to admit, they didn't sound as bad as you would think.

Doesn't the cruelty bother you? The selective breeding of curly-haired children only to be slaughtered and head shrunk?

Hey man... gotta do what you gotta do to make things one of a kind...

Plot twist - the thing actually has $3k+ worth of gold on it and you come out ahead.

Wondering what a 2-way with Beyma 12lx60v2 and Faital HF146 + LTH 142 would sound like (mid-field, stand mount, with aforementioned ripole sub)

If someone finds a place for CAD to cut, please forward it on. I was going to do stuff at a local Fablab, but it has been closed since March due to the pandemic.

These would be a pretty easy way to try out the 2-way 12"/horn combo https://www.parts-express.com/pa-knock-down-trapezoid-plywood-speaker-cabinet-for-12-driver--245-324 Still need a cad-to-cut solution for the sub

I ordered the board and nutubes.

Shudder. Bad memories of that.

Have you tried asking E-MU?

I'll give that a try. Thank you.

Thought I was reading about Conan

Tangentially related BS generator for scientific papers. It was used to get accepted into conferences a decade+ ago.

Is this about headphones or is it from someones about me section on Linkedin?

There are bookshelves that are only 6-12" off the floor, things people do for BWC entry, YMMV, etc.

Laughing to the tune of 14" woofers in my 'bookshelf' L55s

I think they mean you use the speaker as book storage

Yup. I'm going to use them in my OB take on the JBL4345.
