Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

I’d get the Wotan, ...

Counterpoint, BMR’s impedance curve is “mildly challenging” (kinda like my Duetta Siggy’s) so Tyr’s may be “more is better”…. Nice problem to have, eh?
Going by specs:
Wotan: Stereo, 8 Ohms: 200W RMS per channel, Stereo, 4 Ohms: 400W RMS per channel, Power Consumption: 1200W maximum
Tyr (each): 8 Ohms: 200W RMS ... maximum, 4 Ohms: 350W RMS ... maximum, Power Consumption: 750W maximum

The Wotan is a beast but the Tyr has more "power reserves" in a pair? (1200W vs 1500W).
Not going to hear the difference between 400W and 350W.

What a choice! I went a different direction but those numbers!

... Now you're telling me that I can develop a bloomin' GARLIC allergy?!? That would really suck.
One should avoid the word "suck" and "garlic allergy" in the same paragraph. Might lead to jokes about Ableza being a vampire.

I desperately miss Indian food (and other ethnic styles as well, including most Italian.) About 30 years ago I developed a severe garlic allergy. Now, if I even walk into a restaurant serving garlic-heavy food I get a bad migraine. It really sucks as I love garlic and foods made with it. My culinary life has become very bland - but it has forced me to become a pretty decent cook and I am always looking for good garlic-free recipes.
Wow. My (and my wife’s) condolences. We’re 100% the “other” way; we both hated, despised, (allergic?) to onions before we met, but loved garlic… met her and was like, you HATE onions and love Garlic?… we were literally engaged 6 weeks later… going on 33 years now. But, EITHER way, I hear ya’ (I wish I could tolerate onions, because I know I am missing something). Explore substitutes nearby in the “family” (i.e maybe it’s species specific?).

Completely separately, have you tried (or made) black garlic? Can you handle shallots?

Happy getting towards the weekend day…

Jaco on Freya+ N to Dual Aegirs to Devore o/96. Slamming. Must admit I’m playing with DSD 512 upsampling tonight, not mega combo burrito, but my Yggdrasil is getting jealous and will come back tomorrow…

Across my “street” is my neighbors cattle farm. Let us say prefer non southerly winds starting April. That said, 1/2 of one of them is mine (and Bismarck’s) every year. We both get very friendly come Autumn, but not like naming. Well, not me anyways… he’s royalty, so who knows if he’s at that next level of communications?)

Still. Natural. So… no problem
I grew up in a L.I. suburb, twenty minutes (with no traffic) from the Midtown Tunnel. In my early years, there were still a couple of small dairy farms close by (one blocks away) from which we would get fresh bottled milk (with the cream on top) delivered every morning. My brother and I would sometimes fight (verbally) over who got the cream. :laughing: Store bought milk is a pale imitation of the real thing.

I live in fear of developing a food allergy (well, okay, not in active fear maybe). I'm terrified of contracting Lyme disease and not being able to eat meat, or dairy. Now you're telling me that I can develop a bloomin' GARLIC allergy?!? That would really suck.
I contracted Lyme in '21. It took about 15 months to ID. It accelerated gout, and joint issues, and made me sensitive to drugs that cause edema - but I just ate a pile of BBQ today and enjoy dairy every day too. Its hard to predict which way Lyme will go, best to avoid.

For me, the tick got on my forearm, and bit me within a second, and I killed it at once. I waited for weeks and then months for the halo, it never came. Found out later a single dose of antibiotics could have done away with it.

Yay! My ZMF Vibro's are back in action thanks to the generous gift of a replacement cable by @earnmyturns - it is entirely appropriate and cool that I'm posting this soon after you posted. 😁

It's been almost 3 years since I've heard these, and back then on a completely different headamp, so I'll be reacquainting myself over the next few days. Love what I'm hearing so far on a Magni+. Thanks again so very much, @earnmyturns!

My wife and I have been known to name calves...the last one was named "Dinner." Very apropos. 🤪
Ha, apropos to that today had BBQ at a very good spot - Northeast Smokehouse in Billerica Ma. Meats very good, sides good. This is the 2nd best spot in Mass after BT's Smokehouse in Sturbridge. Here was a sign I took a snap of:
