we put in 4 human hours of shoveling today and the final 35% of driveway still remains.

Take care up there in CO. I guess some did not get 96" as expected. Still over a foot this late in the year is crazy.

If we get a few more sunny days like today and it'll all melt away.

That is odd. I wonder if the RCA connectors on the Sol are connected to ground somewhere.

Yeah, the Modius actually does some good things for the LP. I thought "downgrading" from the BF2 would be a substantial hit, but that hasn't really been the case.

Schiit with LightDims is that perfect middle ground.

Gibson never should have bought Pioneer/Onkyo. Glad Henry is gone.

Gibson really ran all their companies into the ground and into bankruptcy. Such a shame though Gibson has seemingly gone back to its roots and rebuilt while it seems like the companies it was forced to sell have been struggling.

I blame Henry J. The board if directors finally forced him into retirement in that bankruptcy because none of zhis dilusions paid off. The new CEO is doing fairly well thus far. I used to work there...was a silly place back then.

"... the DarkVoice 335SE OTL Headphone Amp gives you a blank backdrop to properly broadcast your favorite jams." ugh

"Headphone amplifiers come in a variety of circuit designs, each with its own advantages and drawbacks, but there’s one main determining faction: distortion level."

LOL. The Darkvoice 336 is still around? It was FOTM on head-fi like 14 years ago. And it sucked then.

Then it took a while to figure out how to install the ffmpeg extensions. I felt dumb for a while.

It is confusing as all get out. It actually sounds damn good though. It is almost worth the trouble.

So far pretty much everything I try drives me back towards continuing to use and pay for Roon. If I needed a fully standalone zero network setup again (AKA back in the office) I'd probably go for Moode or Volumio right now.

Why Jive over Squeeze?

It's the default/easy frontend to enable from the piCorePlayer menus for the official touchscreen.

right, isn't vinyl great!

In all seriousness, you can say that about a digital source as well and I have.

dang man, could have loaned ya an AES.

It cost all of 5 bucks. Figured I might as well.

Shows what I know.

Drama and ABWH only share Steve Howe, if you consider ABWH to be "Yes".

I thought he wasn't on Drama too, but he was on every Yes album it seems...I think he was the only one too.

Posting this mostly in fun. The only non-project comment I got was envy at how open my calendar looked.

Nothing involving a Lada could in any context be described as 'safe'.

May be worth a shot. I have a couple ferrite cores somewhere around here.

Hey if you ever want to waste some money, you could just buy one of those Faraday cages being sold to block your own WiFi (it's as stupid as it sounds).

Sounds like your crack might need a cage. Which actually isn't a bad idea as you wouldn't accidentally touch hot tubes

lol... my wife came from her bed, made rude signs at me having disturbed her. I took off the headphones to find the speakers playing.

Wait til you hear the difference with a cable swap. Marv just heard the difference from the electric between CA and TX!

Don't fret…realise that it's not that big of a difference in most cases. No reason to let the nervosa get the better of you.

I approve your strategy of drinking excellent whisky when it's the right time and you can enjoy it properly. Often guests and special occasions can detract from that experience.
