Aw, come on, Tom! I know with your skills you can find a way to incorporate K-Horns into your fire pit area.

Sounds like an excellent use-case for those with lots of obscure records (me).

Schiit manufactured then discontinued the Jil ADC. I bought one while they were still available. Does exactly what I need with a simple to use quality product at a good price ($200 instead of $40, but you know what you're getting).

Keep an eye out for a used one.

I replaced stand mounts with Cornwalls in the same place. They didn’t need the spacing the stand mounts did.

Those are not bad in size or weight compared to some models but I have an amp, DAC, and speaker combination in mind that will fit my needs at this point in time. I was offered new La Scalla's but they did not have the cabinet I wanted and I started thinking about lifting those and where they might fit in my downstairs and I backed away from them.

I can get away with Martin Logans but it does not take two men and a small boy to lift them. Seriously folks are generally talking and laughing and ignoring the music so I might as well use Bose.

Skills that I'm sure he has acquired over a very long career.

The Cornwalls didn’t get their name because they come from Penzance!

It comes from CORNer and WALL placement!

Very room-friendly.

an interesting article talking about copper wire, crystal structures, and cooking (160F max) the cables to increase internal crystal lengths.

Not a bad article. I have dealt with OCC for many years and still use it. I have also played around with a cable cooker,

I’ve only visited SF a few times around twenty years ago. If the Slanted Door is still around I’d be very happy. However, a day trip to visit Ridge Vineyards scared the crap out of me. Being a north easterner growing up with granite under my feet the hills south of SF just seemed like they were made of mud and could fall away at any minute.

I am fortunate to have some connections but I did not want to buy another house just for a large room to house the speakers.

Well...Do it for your wife! Yeah...That's the ticket...For your wiiiiife!

I already have two separate out buildings on my property lol. I will go with smaller Sonus Fabers and be happy.

No Amati for you? https://www.sonusfaber.com/en/products/amati-tradition/

I spent $25k on my wife’s pottery shed, I am set for a while doing things for my wife. I do NOT want to have to move that thing.

I do own a house with a really large room but I am not so sure my wife would want me visiting the female renters that often. They use that room for hoop dancing and pole dancing.

probably something like 0xBAABAA or 0xCACACA

seriously, though, you can use DSLR, macro lens, x-rite color checker passport, adobe photoshop or similar to get hex value, or just guesstimate using some 10%/20%/30% etc gray samples.

Thanks! I know I can use a color picker to get the on screen color easily, but it can easily be off by a mile. I'll need to first correct the white balance, and then correct the exposure, etc. And honestly I don't know how to do those properly.. Thanks for the suggestion!
