The Schiit Happened Playlist 2024 is now live for Qobuz and Apple Music !
Please excuse if I didn’t get exactly the version/masters you wished for. Let me know if I can adjust from what is available on the 2 services above.
Expect a wild ride and - enjoy!

Cool list of songs.

And yeah, as @bevanc mentioned, the Qobuz list has some missing tracks (in the U.S. at least) but Apple seems to have them all. I think this is a case where one of Qobuz's strengths (many iterations of an album available) might be a weakness due to potential regional variability.

Are they nerds? Or are they geeks?

Blessed are the geeks, for they shall inherit Earth V2.

Hoarder .....

I will happily wear that badge of honor.

 

[Ohno Schiitizen]

I will happily wear that badge of honor.

The honor is, you share with us the experience and knowledge.

Today's / Tonight's Jazz recommendation...

* Don't be hating on Jazz Banjo til you've heard it.

Thanks and no rush. Hope you’re feeling better soon.

Yeah once I am in my shop again I will look at brands. My favorite versions have hidden springs

The surfactant I use is Triton X-100.
The magnifier lights I use are Luxo KFM, the new model is LFM.

Keep the RFT and Brimar, I have several. Throw the RCA away since it is microphonic.

1st pass:

2nd Pass:

Interesting the C1FTE went down to number 5!
The Amperex, Brimar and JAN-CBRZ 12AU7 are close, but the Amperex does seem to shine a tad brighter than its neighbors!!
Any of these are very nice but like anything in this hobby there are differences like in fine wines...

The second test was with the D8000 Pros, a darker / warmer can, but very resolving. Stuck with one song in particular.
All nice tubes once again!

Thanks to Tom for letting me try these!!

I think you're both doing nerds a disservice (must defend my clan!).

The real issue, with all that music management software, is that the world at large revolves around pop artists. So, a song has 3 pieces of information, not counting the actual audio: Singer, songwriter, title.

Wait, you mean that a "songwriter" can actually be a lyricist and a composer? Oh, better add those.

Wait, you mean that the backing musicians should be identified as well? Oh, better add that.

Wait, you mean you want to know what instrument each backing musician played? Oh, better add that.

Wait, you mean, ... Wait, you mean... , Wait, you mean... ...

I'm waiting for their heads to explode when they find out that people other than The Beatles sing Eleanor Rigby.

Fair enough. The brush being used to paint my opinion was pretty broad.

I will have to look it up later, I have a bad cold or a mild case of Covid so I will not be in my shop today

Tom, please get well!!!
Hope this passes quickly!

Wait... a fellow named Beer is playing the music of another fellow named Brouwer? How very serendipitous!

My Yggy OG2 just arrived two days early! Nirvana incoming.

Dude! That is awesome, Your Yggy OG/A1 still shows Tuesday for me, alas. I’ll post pics of all I’ve managed to do these last two days with wifey out of town wrt: redoing the entire room in anticipation…

Also, went out to Total Wine (it’s a round trip 3 hour schlepp for me and the Bismarck) and managed to score 4 different Oregon Spirits (@sixergixer ). It was a celebration of the incoming Yggy + finally getting my room the way I really always wanted it.

I may have a crap ton of Cherry finish Salamander Furniture for any one local enough to come and get it. Took down one lower double-wide, and one single wide tower. Still have one double wide left to go (and the other tower is still packed from the move. It’s just too much for the room, which (unfortunately) also has to double as our video room (though we watch maybe on average 2 hours total a week, not counting Wifey’s exercise DVD’s…

Epic road trip for some OSD! Love it.

Ah heck, I can eat my dinner (garlic/red-wine pork sausages grilled with garlic dill sauerkraut on custom rolls - yes wifey is away) AND post the pics…

First the room (including where I moved amp and Tice Power Block/Titan to basement), then, the reward…
