  Happy Diwali to all my friends here in SBAF and my prayers for those affected by California fire. I hope life returns to normalcy ASAP

    It's getting a bit noisy, albeit muted compared to a few years back. And pollution? Hey, I can still see across the road!
    
    What about the animals? My cats are fast asleep.

    bifrost-2 -> DSHA-3F / T4 -> HD800-Jmod gets a LOT of recreational listening time here.

    Throwing away or selling: I dread that "I used to have one of those" moments.

  One of my learning from experienced members here is to keep minimalistic approach with gear. Get 1 TOTL amp, DAC and at max 2 HP & get done

    You're in the same city as Carnegie Hall, probably the second-best concert hall in this hemisphere (and closer to #5 than #10 worldwide). Protip: Other than floor-level seats, the front center of the balcony sounds best because it's not covered. Enjoy!

    @ChaChaRealSmooth , whenever I feel down or upset I revisit that pet thread and I feel ok. There is something charming about pet pics and videos

    Whenever the hifi sounds like maybe it could do with an upgrade --- get over it by looking at doggie pics?
    
    Sounds good to me!

  When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Went with my new SBAF swagger in HF and got shot down by one manufacturer

    Only thing I post on HF anymore is sale ads, there's just too much noise. I follow @schiit so I can see his posts in my news feed without reading through 200 noise posts in between, otherwise I don't use HF for anything else.

    Pre-Julius Caesar or post-Julius Caesar? I mean once you cross the Rubicon things will happen. Julius Caesar experienced that too and Rome changed. The twists and turns are fascinating...
