    Which surfactant are you using? I had started researching them and it seems like quite the rabbit hole with opinions on what work best.

    The Steven Wilson remixes are really good!

    Audio Hyjack from Rogue Amoeba is app that I use to record audio from an app or another audio source. It can do much more but more but my use case limited to recording for learning guitar. https://rogueamoeba.com/audiohijack/ The resulting files get added to AnyTune to loop and slow it down as...

    That’s how I grew up and once my ice cube maker dies I’m going back to that. Mine needs a cup under the dispenser to catch the random cubes the freezer likes to dispense with no one around. Next time I’ll pay more not to have water and ice part of the fridge/freezer.

    Here‘s my contribution to the Bass test tracks: Back in my car stereo days I had a Boston Acoustics/ADS system. Fond memories of that stereo. Here’s the CD liner notes and track artists. The only track I couldn’t find was Natty Stick. The Boston Bass Disk - I created a Tidal Playlist for it...

    That is a really good track. One of my other favorite albums from his is Live in Tokyo with Robben Ford. I haven’t heard some of the other artists you mentioned. I’ll be looking them up this evening.

    I should have specified that it’s the Feya+ which is used in tube mode for more focused listening sessions and buffered for the rest.

    His review nicely sums up my experiences with the Tyr’s. For me the Tyr’s like the Yggy and Freya leave me not wanting or looking for anything else.

    i’ve been quite happy with my fan-less one also from akasa for my Roon Rock. I really despise fan noise. On my work laptop no matter the service any video call the fans ramp up till the call is over. Wish that Intel could follow Apples lead on noise and performance.

    You are a lucky one. Mine was similar in noise that that @docBliny experienced. without the fan running the pi in the Argon ONE runs fairly cool.

    I have the same Argon One case for my pi4. My fan could be heard (probably a bad fan) so I simply unplugged the fan when assembling it. It like the Flirc case has thermal pads and the case is the heat sink. Runs at 31 degrees C which is similar to the pi with the Flirc case i have.

    Out of my Jot2 I’m using a Y splitter RCA male to two RCA female to then feed the amp and subwoofer. It took some listening to get the correct x-over frequency and level dialed in on the sub. I would also listen for periods with the sub off to ensure I wasn’t crossing over to high and over...

    If your space constrained I have and currently use the Paradigm MilleniaOne’s and drive them with an Ageir and that combo works great for a near field desktop setup. In a small room they also work well and fill the room nicely. A sub is needed to fill out the low end though. When I did a search...

    Pappy Van Winkle is on my need to find/taste list. Hopefully the Bourbon and other random topics keep your mind off the discomfort.

    Thanks for the Bourbon recommendations. I’ve had Blanton’s and quite enjoyed it. It’s amazing how some of the pricing has gotten out of hand with some of the varieties. Although sometimes pricey Whiskey/Bourbon is still a much better price proposition vs wine. Hope your doing well with the...

    He just like collecting different brands and sharing and sampling. Our tasting’s of them are a 1/4oz. So the first rounds if you have 8 are no more than 2oz of liquor in total of the tastings.

    How about a much less controversial topic, Bourbon! Two other friends of mine and I are sampling Bourbon. My buddy realized that he had over 60+ after visiting Kentucky for a road trip with his wife. He decided to do a NCAA style bracket after he realized he had enough for the first round. The...

    While my OG did continue to “burn in” and improve over a period of time it sounded great from the 1st day i plugged it in and just got better as the days went on. It replaced a BF 2/64 to which I did a listening session about a week in. The tonality between them is quite similar. It’s the detail...

    I used to build them also. It was fun but I eventually got tired of all the hoops to jump through to keep it running for every OS update. I eventually just picked up a used Mac Pro that was then replaced with a M1 Mac mini.
