Idiotic

The setup I heard yesterday had $300000 worth of cables. Single power cable was 15k.

I've seen some crazy stoopid shit at audio shows for sure, it almost makes sense in those setups, or doesn't stand out. I guess it's just that seeing it like that in an E-bay action just looks more obvious to me.

Conspiracy theory time. To those thinking "seriously how in the hell Joe Biden be the democratic presidential candidate when he is clearly going senile". The democrats and liberal media are just going to deepfake him when he gets in office.

Ill have to try this out, see if my RX 480 can handle it...

EDIT: Damn, only Nvidia cards...

OK for fake news, but get real, put some art into it, and walk away with 8 million euros. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/mar/28/conmen-made-8m-by-impersonating-french-minister-israeli-police

(They didn't get away with it in the end)

I did the same thing when Bandcamp was giving their cut to the artists...at that price I couldn't resist. I'll definitely check out the Mermen, thanks!!

@E_Schaaf I just learned that recently too, and it blew my mind! But then I noticed that, due to its stigma, it lacks proper research at therapeutic, prescription doses, and may in fact be a very helpful drug. In retrospect, I'm not too surprised given amphetamines in general are a very common prescription for ADHD.

What's particularly funny is how highly rated the brand name meth is, by users, on sites like drugs.com :)

I've cycled through virtually every FDA-approved ADHD treatment over the course of many years aside from Desoxyn. Most psychiatrists aren't even aware that it exists, and evidently pharmacies will give you one hell of a time trying to fill a script. Same with Dexedrine. Kind of a shame if there's actual therapeutic potential.

Immediately thought of this movie: Upgrade https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6499752/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0

Thanks...no Photoshop skills just internet "borrowing".

I was in suspended animation for 7 years. Back then, though, it was called 'postgraduate study'.

I don't think they're using Jack Daniels....

I did a temporary swap of my DAC1541 with a fellow enthusiast's Gungnir DS, had it about 3 months or so now. It's a different character of course, but very enjoyable in it's own right. I think I will miss it when we swap back next week.

I was thinking of the new Bifrost t (hence the desire for a nearby Schiitr) so I'm wondering how much of an improvement it'd be. I remember the old DAC chart, the resolution seems to jump with M/B, but would I hear it?

I'll say that the 1541 is also on my radar though...I really enjoyed the 2 Soekris loaners I participated in. I think I like their DACs.

Shit, hope they didn't suffer lasting damage, @Mithrandir41. More importantly hope everyone (pets included,if any) on your end is alright!

Sounds fortunate...echoing Lyer25, hope everyone is no worse for the wear!

@Lyer25 @Jinxy245 thanks guys. No lasting damage, thankfully.

well it's gorgeous nonetheless.

The defense against this is regular backups.

If it's anything like what is happening in Baltimore, much of the blame lies on inept and corrupt IT contracting leading to unpatched systems and inadequately protected infrastructure. 1-click hijacking...piece of cake.

And don't forget to read the mouseover text, which contains the actual message.

What's going on with it? I haven't noticed but haven't been on the PC all that much either the last few days

They need to fix the search horsecrap first. Can't believe it still can't find anything except candy crush.

My computer cannot copy files to an SD card or anything...they disappear. one 'fix' was stopping & restarting explorer.exe. That and a few other things just didn't work.

There was a custom tag there for a while. Doesn't bother me at all, just curious like my avatar.

It's Alex Rosson, who left Audeze to Sankar Thiagusamadram (or however you spell his last name). They founded Audeze together. The Rosson First Edition looks mildly interesting, but I've become less and less enamored by planar magnetics as I gain more experience. Take my opinion with a pound of salt though since I jumped on the ZMF hype train.

Very intriguing to me. Just way out of my price range

I get you @ChaChaRealSmooth since I've got a ticket to ride too (the ZMF hype-train that is). I'm always curious what's out there though & have liked some of/parts of the Audeze sound. Just surprised I haven't heard more from anyone. I guess no ears on them yet.

Equivalent of 270dB.

And well past the levels needed to flat out kill someone to boot. Dear Yeshua.
