Ahhh! It would be a blast to share a pint or two at the Dark Horse and talk audio into the evening.
I would enjoy that very much @US Blues :thumbsup:

This was the pub which we went to:

https://therailwayskipton.co.uk/the-pub/

The food was almost as good as the beer!

We are losing pubs at an alarming rate here in the UK.

There is also a trend to turn beautiful old pubs into ‘gastro pubs’, serve crap beer, over-priced food and kill the whole character of places.

It has happened to my old ‘local’ where I grew up in north London.
It is now a soulless place.

Fortunately, there are still some ‘proper’ English pubs around.

The Railway in Skipton is one, and we are spoilt with several gems in the old market town in Staffordshire, where I now live.

I feel kind of special for getting a Fulla 4. I always find superstitions entertaining and like to challenge them.

My girlfriend uses it in her office. Apple Music from her phone to a WiiM. Toslink out to Fulla and that to a 20 year old set of Cambridge Soundworks pc speakers. It works well and she loves it.

At last, another wise one that chose to own their pet (dog) as opposed to being a servant to their feline overlord (cat). He figured it out -- you others can as well. It's not too late. :wink:

** I know all about this, having been a servant to 2 cats before I wised up and chose pet ownership over servitude.
Wait, are you calling Finnegan just a cat. He is what other cats dream about being.🤪

I think you should give Finnegan some gas money and let him go down and sort things out with @Ripper2860 . 🤣

Well, to be completely honest, he does own US and not the other way around… Just not quite in the same thankless, hoity-toity, privileged manner.

Since the second night home, when wife (who had NO life experience in such things) over-ruled me and said, why can’t he lie in bed with us just this once?

yep, pwned indeed.

Yeah. I don't think that's a good idea.

So the Yggy A2 in 2018 and the Yggy+ in 2022. Was the current analog OG introduced with the Yggy+ I 2022 or before?

I'm pretty sure the current OG is the same as A2 in 2018. Yggy+ was just an enclosure/ form-factor change facilitating self-upgrades and updated FW to allow for NOS and a remote. At least that's all they're saying about that FW upgrade. :wink:

Got a question, 2 parts.
What sonic advantages are there to using a pentagonn connector for headphones? (If any).

Part 2... are there sonic advanges to using a 4 pin balanced connector in headphones?

I know the basics of balanced v. unbalanced but will the audio be improved beyond the grounding?

You are correct. The OG board is largely unchanged since the A2 version analog board. I'm sure there were some running part changes over the past 5 years, but not of sonic significance.

Gas money indeed! He would need to fly first class with his human female guardian, someone has to open the oysters and caviar and fluff his pillow.
