I don’t visit Mammoth, so would not normally hit winter weather. I’d think 395 south to 58 would be easier in winter, but maybe you got to go to Truckee as well. Gardnerville has had OK gas prices

As far as I knew Matthews Top of the Hill Daley City sold tons and tons of stereo receivers via a constant barage of radio ads both AM and FM.

a few back pages on this thread is enough info about opening a GS2/new chassis and switching cards. as I see it, easy to do at home, if not looking easy to do, off to Schiit for the change.

I've always preferred spade terminals for speaker cable, that is once i got past the days of slotted screw terminal strips and stripped lamp cord. I just connected a new set of speaker cables to a new set of speakers. I'd requested a 5/8 inch spade termination, works perfect on the speaker...

In distant past a news article on fuel prices had Mendocino as the highest per gallon rate in the state of California. May be other remote locations with higher prices now. I never purchase fuel in either Bridgeport or Lee Vining.

several post backward in this thread you can find description and photos of insides. should be doable at home.

Ditto. Tower started as a record stand in the Tower Drug store (his dads' business). I frequented Tower on Watt Ave. All record vinyl @3.99per.

Totally Cool!

Out for a couple errands. Got a smok'n deal on 12.351GAL regular fuel for 61.74$. Have not seen it under 5.89$ per GAL in seemingly months. Listening to old speakers via Ragnarok...expecting a delivery of Zu DW6 SF today. Still can't get over the deal on a gallon of gas.

in the early eighties (last century) I had a roommate whose PTSD was such he could not sleep behind a closed door with the refrigerator running. He always unplugged the appliance at 9pm. I did not use the freezer compartment, and did not have much in the fridge anyway. My hearing is damaged, and...

connected CD transport to Yggdrasil+GS2 with AES. perfect sound!

PJ Harvey is up at the top of female vocalists for me. There is one Lucinda Williams cut I like a whole lot..."Car wheels on a gravel road"

As much as I might enjoy a big screen with Kraken power to watch/hear Rammstein....I'm a gonna stay stuck in my lowly 2 channel system world...but one can still dream

Mjolnir 3 has been unnplugged the past 12 days. Yggdrasil has been warming up nicely the past 37 days. Just connected Mjolnir to power, and to Yggdrasil with Urd. So Sweet.

I do BLACK paint Schiit, love the paint effect. I'd do silver if I could get a polished surface rather than brushed

currently available unit on Schiit site. 1799$ with unison USB

Yggdrasil +GS2 with re-purposed A1 cards listened to one low-note Piano track (4th track Trios Charles Lloyd 'OCEAN') on both set-ups. Rag2/LCD2, and Rag2/speakers. +GS2/A1 feels sharper edged to decaying piano notes, feels smoother edged with +MIB. Overall +MIB fuller rounder soothing quality...

Oh OK.. +GS2 and +MIB, both are complimentary with Ragnarok2.

worse version is not a phrase making sense in my set up. recent +GS2 into Rag2 for spkrs with AES connected transport, very good. No disappointment compared to MIB.

so, a link to Molly Tuttle live, a good version of a very old fave

I sometimes look at you tubes of music groups, and never follow beyond, but Molly Tuttle and Golden Highway is a band of excellent muscians, not really my primary musical interest, but do have a long hx of enjoying bluegrass when I hear it

photo depicts a modification to my eyes. does not depict a modification to the Schiit. a red litho film is trimmed to fit and cover the bright spots. (Ulano Rubylith) and speaking of Schiit, very much enjoying the Ragnarok. although I'm listening to a Rickie Lee Jones CD, I did find this Sam...

Question on the phenolic...If you cut the panel, phenolic side up, or phenolic side down? fine tooth melamine/ply blade

I stopped using Zag Zig at least four decades ago

I drive a 4X4 V6 4L pick-up, gas guzzler, and that'll be it. I had an early model Honda Insight with manual trans, three cylinder gas engine rattled like tin cans but the electric torque was addictive, could cross the county line at midnight going 60mph then accelerate up hill and max out about...
