Yeah, probably, so who said the plague was a bad thing ? My glass is still half full.

True, but neither me in my 61 years on this rock, nor anyone I know has ever seen one.. So I'm not bothered by some adder... (Looking around frantically..).

You see, this is why I like living in western Europe. No little (or big) critters that will try to kill you when you aren't looking.. Why we yell out: "Hans, get ze flammenwerfer" a lot..

Yep, that would most definetly be a 'code brown' for me as well ! :scream:

Not being on the road or anything, but being half a planets rotation away I want to wish @sam6550a a happy birthday. Make it the best day you can !

Oh, and to let you all know where I stand on the 'how long has he been on this planet' scale: I celebrated my 61th last week. Like this:

So, pretty serious question here.. I'm saving up for upgrading my DAC. Currently the Bifrost 2/64, and my plan all along was to go for the best of the best, Yggy + MIB. (eventhough I can't get rid of the "Men in Black" translation, no matter how hard I try) But now there's talk about a new...

Wait what, Wall-wart ?

So in April I bought a Vali3, but after two weeks I had to send in to Sonority for repairs. Six weeks later it came back, with the same distortion when I turned the volume up or down that I had to begin with. But with an added hum in High gain. Sonority agreed to exchange it for a new model...

Cars, and of course the toilets.. (30 sec in)

If I understood correctly she had surgery to have something removed which turned out to be a tumor. The doctors recommended a kind of pre-emptive chemo therapy. She herself said she was feeling good, thank god..

Nice read about the Yggy+ MIB and a little about the Skoll.. https://audiophilestyle.com/ca/reviews/and-now-for-some-serious-good-schiit-skoll-yggy-r1281/

So this week feels really good. After a less than enjoyable period in my life it seems I've made a fresh(er) start. Debtfree from now on and a decent job with a decent income. Feeling relaxed and not worriyng so much makes listening to music so much easier. My mind doesn't stray to all sorts of...

I have four CD's of her, great voice. My biggest surprise was seeing her in Star Trek..

And while I'm at it, let me offer you all, not just the birthday boy, some Dutch Candy.

Nice, while I am in the Netherlands listening to some American Schiit. It kinda proves that what comes from afar tastes good !

After watching some Tolkien I can only say (in Treebeard's voice) "Young Master Paladin79, Happy Birthday to you!" May many follow..

I know. Still can't figure out what was wrong with all the other ones for me to be the survivor.. :smile:

Here some Futureyear stars ! In the picture some great musicians, some excellent audio-engineers who will eventually develop some great Schiit, even some great new forum members..

Unless.. You convince her it's the ultimate surround system.. Come to think of it.. she might object to the center Duetta, horizontally blocking the TV..

Some fundamentals for now.. So, why do I (we) bother, listening to music ? My personal answer, and I suspect it works for a lot of us, is simply to have FUN. Because it should be FUN, in capitals, yes ! It's why, amongst so many other things, we (I) buy Jason's Schiit, listen to our...

OMG The beacons of Amun Dîn are lit !

Just say "Yes!" once and I promise you it'll be quiet the rest of the week..

You do know that's not an either/or question?
