Egad, no. Engineer, yes, but I deal in "things."

Ah well, I just deal with ones & zeros.

Edit: Also, some perspective. I hope the grammar police don't come and drag me away from my Schiit stack for this heresy!

I think in general this may be a generation thing. Both Mrs. macdonjh and I wear watches, macdonjh Jr does not. Our daughter does, but she wears an Apple watch and still pulls her phone out to tell time. I'm not really sure why Mrs. macdonjh wears a watch: she's on her phone as much as our kids are. The only reason I carry a phone is to get texts from our kids.

My dress watch is a Rado: nice jewelry but not a very good watch. It's almost impossible to see the face in low light. My daily driver is a Hamilton Khaki, best ergonomics of any watch I've owned. The two Timexes I have (one IronMan and one analog) are still ticking away, so to speak. That's one reason I was so frustrated about that Timex which failed on me. I don't use my IronMan much anymore because I now have a Garmin which also keeps track of my heart rate while I exercise. That other Timex I use when I go into chemical plants: it's all metal and water proof so it's easy to clean.

I go the other way for the Timex in the mill - cheap Weekender so if it gets ruined with grease it is not a big loss instead of cleaning. That being said, I've only ruined 1 so far in 8 years.

Holy smokes I’ve had a fantastic evening listening to LCD-3 with Gumby A1 w/ Unison and Ragnarok 2. At times I felt transcendent, just totally lost in musical bliss. It’s been amazing and truly refreshing.

I’ve been a “tubes guy” for years, but I think Rag 2 outperforms MJ2 (I’ve had two over the years) for what I’m personally looking for in a sound profile, musicality, and technical performance.

But I keep thinking ahead to what MJ3 might end up sounding like, how much it will cost here in the U.K., and whether I’ll be justified if I move on Rag 2 and get MJ3

I'm 70, watches are second nature. No pun intended.

But did you keep it safely hidden in your ass for 4 years, Christopher Walken style? And then Schiit it out when safe?

Okay I may have recently watched the 4K of pulp fiction

Like this guy?

Great post. The SQ of a lightly struck tom (and cymbal) is a good measure of a DAC's ability, IMO.
Try some Brian Blade music - he's a great jazz drummer.

Thanks, I checked out a vid w Brian Blade and that guy is a beast! I always seem to enjoy those drummers that keep their kit simple and use it expressively. The Bernard Purdies and Clyde Stubblefield types. And now Brian Blade

Grammar is a wonderful thing.

I love my grammar. And my grampar, too!

For stand-up bass, check out Dave Holland. Brian Bromberg also has a couple of excellent stand-up acoustic bass albums that are worthy of a listen.

Eric Harland is a jazz drummer to checkout, as well.

Tonight's jazz revelation for me, Dave Grusin..."Homage to Duke".

Speaking of Duke..
Check out George Duke - Face the Music.

I somehow started listening to SZNZ by Weezer….Winter.

Well done ... my three favorite modern jazz bassists are Marcus Miller, Victor Wooten and Stanley Clarke. In no particular order.
On acoustic - it's tough to beat Christian McBride at the moment.

I also like Esperanza Spalding!

No. I didn't do that but thanks for asking.

Excellent use of the rules of grammar for intention!
