Breakdancing is now an Olympic sport. Tragically, this comes too late for me to get gold. Dec 7, 2020

    I heard Powerwalking is a sport.

    It looks pretty goofy, but I think there's a lot of technique involved in race walking to meet the technical criteria (one foot must appear to be in contact with the ground at all times, knee has to be locked straight whenever you take a step forward).

    Not saying break dancing doesn't involve technique (it's all technique), but rather questioning its value as an Olympic sport. And how do you judge it? Lots of existing sports have this problem.

    It always makes for a good read and leads to happy discoveries, especially for the UK music scene. Available as a pdf from Resident Records: https://www.resident-music.com/annual

  I’m an hour into super best audio bliss after successfully SDR modding my HD 800. Many, many thanks to @sorrodje.

  Bollocks, I got outbid for "Stan" the T-Rex. He sold for $27,500,000 at auction tonight.

  Making good progress with the SBAF Greatest Hits collection: I just picked up a ZX2 for my Andromeda 2020. What a great pairing!

    According to the head honcho of HF, it's warmer than the Elegia. I'm holding out for the Rolls Royce version. The Bentley's too déclassé.

    Yes, and he makes it so you can finally put your finger on what it is, exactly, that you always liked about a song but didn't realize or understand. Almost all of the music theory is over my head but I'm finding it fun nevertheless.

    His video on Tool's "Schism", I watched it three times. Worth it.

  The heat and humidity have finally cleared. First time listening to ZDT Jr & HD 800 in months, making for a happy Sunday.

  Some of the Canadian Innerfidelity is online but alas not the measurements: https://cdn.innerfidelity.com/.

    My mistake: I initially thought and posted that all of IF was on this site - alas, no, the measurements aren't. Sorry for the confusion.

    Cool! Though in this case the cdn subdomain refers probably to a cached content delivery network, not Canada :-)

  Looking for a piece by Tyll just now and found that innerfidelity pages are redirecting to stereophile. Server down or has the site gone?

    The links to InnerFidelity and AudioStream down at the bottom of the Stereophile page (in the blue bar) are gone now. Were there a couple days ago. Now gone.
