Soups

8 recipes for octopus, and almost as many planar options for $250 and under.

@ChaChaRealSmooth why bad? You want it all? :-)

@ChaChaRealSmooth - are you like the crack dealer that slipped up and became the crackhead? ;)

It makes you insane and want to spend more money on things you really don't need. Like this Wavelight (yes, I'm leaving a teaser here on my thoughts)

A lot of flowing later.

KFC should change their initials to MSG if real truth in advertisement were a thing.

It was some of the saltiest, driest KFC I've ever eaten. IME, for how much they charge, KFC quality is pretty inconsistent. But when it's good, it's really good... MSG and all. :)

I think it in CS, I could be wrong.

South Park. It's take on Super Best Friends on South Park.

I want the announcer to do my wedding. Hearing him introduce Joey Chestnut I can not help but chuckle.

Title of your sex tape?

@Gazny Pretty sure you ain't getting married if you hire that guy @fraggler I was also sharing my reaction to "e-sports"

To my ears, the Aeolus sounds like a Super HD650.

Isn't this the third holy grail campfire IEM? Listen for yourself. Also with HD650 it must be specified the tier of amp driven, low to mid tier maybe, Stellaris, Studio, Teton...not a chance in hell.

Definitely hope to get some quality time with a ZMF headphone someday, especially some of those models.

The Scorpions

Enya Watermark was good demo music in the late 80's. I sold a lot of speakers with that stuff. It sounds good on anything.

Bifrost 2-->Liquid Platinum-->HD600/650 is feeling pretty done to me. Very clean sound with enough warmth to keep me happy. Happily throwing my newfound cash into a Dolby Atmos setup.

I think he made an important distinction between trying new things and chasing perfection. Variety is the spice of life, but the perfect is the enemy of the good, as they say.

It goes in cycles. The main thing is to not get caught up in the spending cycle and evaluate over long periods of time.

That and the new amp for the RAAL Requisite headphones.

Same here, can't wait to upgrade to Yggdrasil A2 and Unison in one shot.

This is the best news I've read in awhile

2020's lookin' up!

f**k!!! YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

Is that a cocktail?

That would be a cosmic crisp appletini.

It's also a vape flavor.

Thank you all! I will add, she is definitely 'endgame' being our fourth child. Time to read urologist reviews now...

You're a better man than I, Gunga Din.

Will her first words be "mmmmmTOTLmmm?"

Congratulations to you and Mrs Soups, and welcome to the young lady!

Time to add Incompetence™ to your trademarks, if it means churning out affordable, hi-quality gear that all kinds of people can love.

Every Schiit tube amp comes standard with our exclusive Incompetence™ topology!

Somebody needs to stick that Nelson Pass/amp camp 2nd order harmonic circuit in the Heresy with a switch.

Their target market appears to be the *thrifty* 1% boomer that is drawn to dated web design, but isn't quite ready to buy that third vacation home: "...[our products] are substantially more costly to make than conventional products are, while also being priced substantially below some of the stratospheric prices one sees in the high-end audio world." (ie. you could pay more, so this is actually a good deal!)

Damn, they were always my heros! Et tu, Bluejeans?

Mind you, I used to say, "If someone wants cable deisign, why not go to a company like Belden, rather than some front-room (boutique) idiot peddling fantasies." Well, now they did, and maybe the results are not what I foresaw.

Anyway, I'm out of the game now. But, for old time's sake, if someone finds real science in these cables, let me know!

As long as they keep offering the regular cables, I'll keep buying them. Just hurts to think of people being suckered. More likely it will just let them get money from people who were going to spend it on cables anyway.

I prefer to re-watch favorites with the captions on. Catch so much more great dialog this way, especially with Coen bros' movies.

They are a national treasure and deserve all the lifetime awards. Did you catch The Ballad of Buster Scruggs on Netflix?

Just watched the trailer, and yet another temptation to re-start my Netflix sub...

I haven't heard it yet....maybe I won't...

The opposite couldn't be more true. Slayer and rednecks go together like Wonder Bread and Miracle Whip.

Ha! Just had to verify... https://images.app.goo.gl/8uTpngfdxn3QSR6m9 https://images.app.goo.gl/YjfCGFpN1CNxCMut9

Man....I wanted to see this happen., but you're probably right. Slayer is misunderstood as Satan worship here in the south.

Even in a modest 12x13x8 room, this setup continues to make my jaw-drop, and it's always "one more song"...

Unfettered Yggdrasil is insane... I really need to but a romper room DAC on Aegir to get more perspective!

Will try to post more detailed impressions after I live with this for a few weeks. Which should be enough time for new toy syndrome to dissipate and "stable" Yggdrasil to appear. :)

Sigh, I'm in a 110 year old house that pops circuits if the microwave and ANYTHING else is used at the same time. Hopefully, my UPSes and Isobars do enough to prevent damage to my playthings.

Sigh my family's house had a wanna be handyman owner. A lot of things were messed up, couldn't be undone and were hard to fix.

where are the affordable clean energy batteries for cranking monoblock 2.ch systems? :) been spoiled thus far with good enough power, so my sympathies for all stuck with crappy utilities at home.
