That's indeed sort of my point.
I once heard someone (Dutch) say Goose Nipples.
Now that would be a first. A bird with nipples.

I can't speak for Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, but here in England it's "Goose Pimples".

See?
In this big happy family we all learn from each-other.
Feels so good I'm almost over my depression after listening to Gustav Mahler Symphony No. 7 by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under direction of Claudio Abbado.

Awesome work on the Gungnir.
Casually listening some Bob Marley and sometimes (depending on where I am/stand/sit) it`s like he is in the room instead of coming out of the speakers.
Assuming its not even your masterpiece(if Yggy is the crown that is) you are a true craftsman!
Consider me impressed.

Can you smell him too? Mr. Bob Marley that is.

Speaking of goose bumps. One of my favorite 20th century compositions is Bartók's Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta. Last weekend, I started ripping a 67 disc box set of everything that Pierre Boulez conducted for Columbia ("Boulez: Complete Columbia Album Collection" https://www.sonyclassical.com/releases/88843013332). Its performance of that composition on disc 7 is the goosebumpiest I've heard in a long time.

Yeah, Bela Bartók was a Master Of Trade and a very good percussionist to boot.
Ripping 67 CD's is no small feat either.

Keep the impressions coming. They are very inspiring. We call it ants tits. Or goose skin.

First thing I want to say in regards to the sound:
Some reviews painted a cold and analitical sound.
To me it`s not difficult, straining, overly intense or fatigueing AT ALL.
These are the (not so positive) things I read about the Gungnir and also what was steering me towards Bifrost.
Now, I cannot compare the two so I can`t say anything about Bifrost.

After about 5 or 6 hours of listening to different genres and styles I can honestly say: this is the most balanced, detailed, spacious and emotionally touching sound I`ve ever had in my live. It`s just right.
It`s almost like I`m high.I used to get high alot(honestly I used to sober up once in a while but this had to stop due to health problems and a kid running around.)
The one thing I missed the most is the intensity music has when you are high. The Gungnir almost gets me there again (after only one or two glasses of wine
Sure....I`m not spaced out and no the visuals are not as vivid when I close my eyes but the music is as moving as I remember it.
I`m getting a little contact high of this Schiit. It`s nice....really.

And mind you, it`s not even the multibit.

As you can read in my previous post it`s probably better I don`t smell him.
This could mean a serious relapse into old behaviour

OK but... It would be cheap. The fumes coming out of your DAC I mean.

That would be a real bargain indeed but it would also mean I would be sitting to close to my speakers right now...hehehe.
Kidding aside I`m done inhaling forever. I had a collapsed lung twice and the second one cured me of smoking. Hurts like a motherf***er.
Although people in the hosital claimed it was more genetic (a bulla was removed) than smoking induced it still happened twice after some serious indulging in the herb...and I mean serious indulging.
So no more sigarettes or joints for me. I do however still bake the annual cake and once in a while I open the fridge for some serious fun.
But the times where I`m in the mood, have the time and the kid is gone are really rare.

Mr. Moffat,
Could you tip us on the function of the MP?

so here is how I imagine it. the MP will take good music and play it, but it will also have some massive reference library so that when you play something like rebecca black -Friday-, the MP will recognize the track for what it is and will instead play a recording of Mike and his banjo. harmonically true, tonally perfect.
I must say it is appealing.

the more I read about the MP the less I know what it's about ^_^.

Aha.
The MP would be Mike's banjofier.
That's a nice one.

Being unsure of what you guys ment by Snowflakes I had to look it up. I found 115 different explanations. Didn't go through them all, but it's a very entertaining read. Be aware there's both political and sexual offending language so I'm guessing it's not suitable for snowflakes.
Here you are: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Snowflake

Stil being unresolved. Is this what you mean?:
Thin-skinned, orange-hued man who gets offended easily and tweets about it at 3 AM. Term may also be used for his "alt-right" followers who believe in alternative facts and become offended when presented with documented reality.
Or
Someone who thinks everyone likes them but no one actually does so they just float around from group to group tryin to chill but they jus cant cause ther wack.
Or
An overly sensitive person, incapable of dealing with any opinions that differ from their own. These people can often be seen congregating in "safe zones" on college campuses.
Or something else.
