I like some of Lou Reed's music. For those songs I don't like, I'm happy in my belief I missed out on whatever drugs he had which made him think it sounded good.

Not a Lou Reed fan, eh? That's OK. There is always the Cowsills.

I'm not going to find a link, but the story goes that Lou Reed couldn't get out of his record contract so he recorded the worst music he could as a f*you. The result was Metal Machine Music. Pretty much unlistenable.

At least Tiny Tim charted with that tune. MMM not so much...
.

I bought a copy of MMM a couple years ago and listened to it. I kind of like it, though I am still amused that I probably listened to the album a few minutes longer than was necessary.

I was playing games or doing work or something while listening and I noticed that it had become quite rhythmic. It took me awhile to realize it was a 1.8 second loop on repeat... and that I reached the end which was a loop on the runout track.

 

[ehayduk]

Of course you're right.
@Randolf711 : Sorry for the somewhat snarky reaction to your question.
Why did I do it anyhow?
Jason and Mike are trying for years now to partition the flow to each others dynamic and knowledge but posters just do what they want.
Once i a while you'll see Jason write. For a sensible interaction about x,y,z, go to Mike's page because it's his project.
So once again, it was not against you. Tonight I will expose myself to 17 minutes of Engelbert Humperdink so we kan scratch this misdemeanor from my list.

I'd need one 20 something feet long... But seriously a Jotunheim minus the amp section plus a remote would be an AWESOME preamp... Small size that would fit my shelf and it would have 1 set of balanced and 1 set of SE outputs. Think of it as a Maxi SYS with REMOTE!

Is Gino related to Milli?

 

[FLTWS]

I have no freakin' idea'r, but I had a girl friend once that was into .... whatever this is.
Brutal Punishment!

 

[Pietro Cozzi Tinin]

Wow, Pietro, the punishment severity is increasing. First it was ABBA, then Boney M and now Engelbert Humperdinck. Ooh the pain. I couldn't tolerate even the ABBA

That's why our punitive system only has those three.
Adding to it will be a long endless road with loads of filibustering.
So we keep it this way. The system is like us. Inflexible.

balanced plus SE outs implies that some sort of balanced-to-SE and / or SE-to-balanced conversion is needed. get a Freya S and a bigger shelf or mount the Freya S on its end outside your existing shelf (next to your PC mid-tower case)

true balanced requires twice the number of relays as Saga for remote volume control. won't fit in that tiny enclosure.

if your usage case requires the small footprint and exclusively balanced (XLR) connections, why not run two sagas (one for left channel, one for right channel) with custom cabling to split the 3-pin XLR into two RCA's? use the IR remote to adjust both channels simultaneously.

A sad testament to the state of American music for that brief moment time.

I was working in COMSEC [Communications Security] when that song came out---we sung it as "Tiptoe through the Cryptos with me".

...and you have a balance control that is lacking in the Saga/Freya!

I don't care about Balanced to SE, just 1 set of balanced in/out and 1 set of SE in/out no conversion although without the amp section components I'm sure it would fit no problem, I'm not even going to answer the other horse schiit...

That just places another potentiometer in the signal path.

@Ableza not with dual Sagas running in non-differential balanced mode.

@yonson but you want SE in and balanced out? do you need voltage gain, or just passive?

Isn't Saga single-ended? Go ahead and get two preamps if that's what floats your boat.
