Tchoupitoulas

Loaner impressions to follow in a day or two. But, seriously, this is outstandingly good.

Ifi on Bluetooth?

@ColdsnapBry - this was the dongle version, not the wireless one

@Lyander - what's the pun, I can't figure it out (something to do with decir?)

(And joking aside, my better half's perfectly fine with my hobby. It was genuinely an accident)

Oh "shuo" can mean "say" or "speak" haha. I always figured the Shuoer brand is some kinda dad joke about "Speak"ers.

Found linked from Schiit's own website: https://www.schiit.com/guides/discontinued-products.

It's also good for old manuals

... and I want to set the record straight by posting that Schiit refunded me the difference. I'm most grateful. This was very good of them.

On a more prosaic, obvious level, it's disturbing how far AI has apparently come - and how little the public knows about it (me included).

The transcript is truly astonishing. It feels like something to be assigned in history classes - or "great books" classes - in the future.

Reading the transcript gives me goosebumps.

Time to submit to our AI overlords. Personally, I'd welcome them over our human leaders.

I agree with @Merrick on piano but also most other stringed instruments, bowed or plucked.

Drums.

It's hard to get the texture right on oboes; sometimes bassoons too.

Excellent, thank you! Time to dive into the threads properly.

You may also see it called the Yggdrasil OG now.

Thank you, @GanGreinke. I've started seeing it called that in the LiM/MiL threads, so I appreciate the clarification.

Hope they don’t end up with the same record as the Washington Generals, haha.

Back in the USFL, there was the New Jersey Generals (last owned by Donald Trump). In reference to a Dallas football team, Herschel Walker played for both the Generals and the Cowboys.

They coulda just ditched Snyder and kept the name and there would be much rejoicing.

Happy Birthday!

(Be My Baby was a perfect pop song).

For some reason I thought you meant he blew up a Tesla plant, but it’s just his individual Tesla.

Oops, yes - the phrase needed an "a" or "his" - now edited. Sorry for any alarm caused.

Damn, another person suggesting bandcamp to support music. I agree. Love me band camp

In retrospect it seems like downloading mp3s illegally and than buying some of those albums later was a better deal for the artist

Yeah, I was going to nominate bandcamp for a golden schlong award but didn't want to get that thread off-topic (and, of course, it's not gear)

Good for finding new music from the UK music scene: https://www.resident-music.com/annual

20/30 to 80/90 should preserve the long term life of the battery far more than 0/100.

Thank you!

Merrick is correct. Most hybird car batteries keep it between 20% and 80%.

I have only a limited frame of reference, though: Magni 3, MCTH, Jot 2, now also Mjolnir 1. Would be interesting to do 3-way comparison with the LAuX, Jot 2, and MJ1. Alas, don't have Jot 2 on hand.

It’s the best amp I’ve heard for Audeze’s as you all know.

I can see that. LCD-2C needs a strong warm amp.

We've never had the latest phones before.

Zach, Bevin, and their colleagues did a wonderful job with these African Blackwood Vérité. They''re absolutely gorgeous. I love the way the wood can appear, in different light, to be onyx black or with beautiful grain and colors. Impressions to follow soon (only 40 hrs into burn in).

What a beautiful pair. Must be truly one of the strongest performers money can buy.

I hope they remain all that you had hoped. The Blackwood sure is beautiful.
