OMG OMG OMG

Clearly too poor even to pay attention, I only minutes ago discovered that beloved Modi Multibit can be had in BLACK!

Must be a BlackFriday thing.

And my New closeout IEMagni needs a friend, Oh yes he does. Viva la OPA1656!

I find IEMagni PERFECT for my Grados, even with my ratty old silver Modi Multibit. If IEMagni were glass, it would be optically perfect. 🤩

A Less-Is-Most stackette, but I may glue a fat bottle on top, for stealth, like an 813...

Rediscovering how well the Asgard 2 likes the Beyerdynamic DT 880 600ohm.
Working well with some live rock recordings.
I do like the Asgard 2 with my Beyerdynamic DT177X Pro.

I love that Black Friday immediately follows Thanksgiving. It's like, "Enough with this whole 'be grateful for what you have' BS. So exhausting! To compensate, let's see if we can't cram a year's worth of gluttony into a single day."
LOL! Black Friday is sooooooo 2000's. Since Cyber Monday came along I can gluttonize from my comfy chair and do all my Christmas shopping in less than an hour. :laughing:

It takes a month's training to learn how to smoke brisket?
.

Actually it takes longer than that to get really good at it. :)
It's kind of like finding the perfect audio system. It takes a while to get it right and as soon as you do, your tastes change and you have to start over. That is all complicated by someone introducing you to "tubes" which creates a whole 'nother rabbit hole.

Except in NC, where fully cooked isn't a prerequisite...

Tubes are not for everyone, there is certainly a learning curve and it can take a lot of listening in the right amps before you pick out the nuances. :) I am to a point where I know exactly which tubes I want to buy and which years of said tubes. This can happen with wine, or cars or houses. Eventually you just know what is right for you but it can take some time and money to get there. It can be a journey and there is a lot of fun to be had along the way. Friends sharing similar interests, hearing an old recording you are very used to suddenly coming to life etc. . It is just part of the audio experience you can either take part in, or ignore.

They say "Getting there is part of the journey or half the fun! " Enjoy your journey!!
Remember its not the only road to happiness!!

lol that's what happens when I post tired and/or buzzed. :beerchug: Also, my first several briskets were somewhere below average. So yes, it takes awhile to learn how to get it right. Totally worth the effort, tho.
