Should be great. Teams most evenly matched.

I promised my son before he went to bed that Italy would win in the penalty shoot out

@mitochondrium - i knew italy would win in penalties because the Italian goalie is much better.

England definitely chocked though

So he tastes with numbers as Amir hears with numbers.

Is this the guy who wrote the expensive, multi-volume book on science in cookery? I've only read /about/ it. Sounds much tastier than Amir.

@Thad E Ginathom - yeah, at least he knows how to cook. But he also has trash opinions like Texas BBQ and NY pizza aren't all that great

If squash is an option, start slow. Squash is very technical and you can still serve.

@JustAnotherRando - holy shit!

Please don't hold up any signs. But if you must, face THE PELOTON!

in my location there was a guy with a sign that said "f**k OPI OMI"

Not a single Beats to be seen

Do Beats wired headphones exist anymore?

@Merrick - i found this for $130. Honestly seems reasonably priced

Especially if their HTTP referer contains audiosciencereview

Awesome. About time we made track a little more interesting.

Been around for decades in track cycling, it's called Devil Takes The Hindmost or Miss and Out. It's common in 6 Day events held over the winter.

@ergopower - yeah, I think it's really popular in Japan. Which makes sense that this particular even is in Australia.

I've worked with 40KHz ultrasound for a levitator project. A buddy of mine stuck his head in front of the radiators. Didn't have a good day...

@nishan99 - I don't exactly know but at this price point I highly doubt there's a single BA in it

best not to play mqa with wireless earbuds

My exuberant dogs suggest otherwise. I caught my 21 inch iMac just before it fell off the desk. My dog had looped the power cord around his neck.

@Cryptowolf - this is the new iMac just announced. It says the power plug has magnets in it.

No idea if it means it's easy to detach

Been so for a while. Car makers have been idling production lines as they wait for chips. Saw something about 90% of chips made in Asia. Perhaps we need to start making more here (US) again. I remember big Intel and On Semi plants in PHX when I lived there, wonder if they are still going.

Intel chips are actually still made in Portland. I had a quite a few friends from grad school work there. Texas Instruments probably does some chips components in Dallas but not sure how much.

It has affected even car manufacturing. Although, not Toyota - https://jalopnik.com/toyota-prepared-for-the-chip-shortage-years-ago-why-di-1846641653

And the “remaster” or “reissue” game where the new release is measurably worse than the original.

I'd be on board with remasters that were truly better than the originals. Like Vapor Trails Remixed which (mostly) fixed the horrid mastering of the original, or some of the Steven Wilson remixes of Yes or Jethro Tull. But that's not what we usually get.

At this point even the remastering gimmick has mostly been replaced by expansive deluxe sets that try to sell higher priced, higher margin items to a smaller loyal fan base.

One of the frustrating things for me was people saying they could hear the difference in amps and yet we never measure them the way we subjectively evaluate them.

That is pretty cool and significant if you ask me - I wonder if this test does not deserve its own thread. I should say I don't know who Joseph Crowe is or does.

@crenca - Joseph Crowe is a former automotive engineer turned speaker manufacturer. Before he started making speakers he started a blog detailing his projects.

What I really like about him is that he takes good measurements and simulates all of his designs. He likes horns and full-range drivers too.

Using a guitar as a knob... Hmmm...

Plenty of leverage, I suppose.

Ur gonna love it.

@neogeosnk - can't wait to replay my collection.

I should find an old VGA monitor somewhere too

Jailbreak that sucker.

This is a terrible idea, isn't it.

And a few amps. Unless you want to run a full-scale signal through those Lokis :).

@GoodEnoughGear - Well I would need those amps anyway with any active xover.

@E_Schaaf - I have nothing against electronic music either, but noticing analog instruments have a much lower presence currently.

I was thinking about instruments and wondering with the thousands of sounds you get through synthesizers whether anyone would bother learning anything besides a keyboard.

taking things a step further - why make any new sounds at all when you can craft anything you can think of using samples of existing content if you listen to enough stuff and build up a library of favorites? That's the J Dilla mentality, which has been completely formative for a wide scope of genres. There's nothing new under the sun. The sequencing and curatorial selection is where the artistry lies

Not trying to be contrarian, just thinking about directions in pop music and hip hop which has pretty much informed pop aesthetic for the last 10 years at least

Motu and AT875R seems to be a good place to start

https://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/podcasting-equipment-best-practices.5739/page-2#post-335646

Motu looks good. Although would prefer not to have a shotgun mic

AT875R works wonders in removing flutter echo and room reverberation while maintaining reasonably natural on-axis response. I use it when video conferencing from the kitchen without wishing to be close mic'd. Otherwise EV RE-20 is an excellent close mic for this purpose. Motu UltraLite mk4 is a great interface.
