IIRC, wasn't it Boothroyd-Meridian speakers that did a McLaren version? And yes, Bob Stuart is still a wanker. Though I wouldn't be surprised if Meridian does McLaren's regular car audio.

Heh, my old boss at Questyle would often talk about the McLaren Audio stuff since I believe he was president of that stuff at the time in USA. Most certainly looks like Meridian is doing their car audio stuff for them.

@netforce - a while back and in a former life i was a service manager at a big-ish bike shop. whenever i had customers come back and spit me an earful I'd ask them what they did for a living. then i'd ask them when they were going to be in the office. then i'd ask them if I could give them any help with their MS Excel spreadsheets.

Did you took a poop?

something shitty got flushed

Yes, I concur. The $$$ should be used to purchase crap gear and destroy it for all to see. Saving audio one piece at a time, is the battle cry!!!

Can't wait to destroy some shitty gear with my L1A1.

I 11/11'ed so I will probably sit out this Friday. The wife is an entirely different story, she's been researching Black Friday deals like a Terminator looking for John Conner...

@OldDude04 are you in China or is America joining in on 11/11 deals too?

@DigMe I'm in the US, but I bought some things from Linsoul like a set of Fearless Audio Rolands.

my Roon trial is halfway over, haven't tried advance features yet. somehow macMini Roon to Unison YggyA2 sounds more enveloping with slightly tighter bass, than Audirvana+ over same USB cable. completely baffling.

I'm a huge fan. I've played a good bit with the DSP, from basic EQ to full on speaker correction/convolution across different zones. The new Valence music expert thing sounds pretty cool.

it wasn't always like this, but as i get old and grumpy, i just don't bother with 2nd listens to anything that doesn't hook me in some way the 1st time around. life is too short and there's too much good music out there to waste time trying to figure out what they were smoking when they reviewed Aja.

So did this Pitchfork review invite your post?https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/steely-dan-aja/

no, but I spose i'll do some more reading!

he's like the Rat Fink of TT engineering. Rock and roll, motherfucker!

The Door and The Beatles with their first stereo recordings. Sometimes their experiments still surprise you...

Is that what took the site down?

Noise cancelling comes in many forms. ... like stuffing a used sock in your sister's mouth.

Not that I've done that to my sister.

Much.

Even at 16k, the DAC is cheaper.

BJ it’s what I’m thinking? Lol

moar music, FTW!

SIKE! ODESZA is the newest Chinese USB to USB to USB to COAX to USB to SCSI interface that sounds like God wiped his ass and touched my lips with earworm feces.

I've had the 600s for a couple of months now and they are growing on me daily.

I'm tempted to buy a pair of those earphones, not gonna lie

Wut

Thanks sir. The amp is good enough to inspire such a wall. But sound is worth a thousand words.

Nothing worse than buying a used piece of gear you are excited for and is not at all what you are looking for. SBAF has saved us all (hopefully) from going down the wrong path.

and maybe a word to recent newcomers: it GREATLY behooves you to go read old impressions threads start to finish. I've spent so much time digging around in "old" threads to find triangulating impressions that minimizes the inevitable side-grade/meh.

Your system probably has the highest bang:buck. Strong work.

Yep, another perfectly fine day shot to hell!

3:49pm and i'm still getting edits on Friday afternoon. Do you people understand how this process works?

Y not? :P
