Can someone point me in the right direction regarding Gungnir "versions / revisions"? I've seen "Revision A" and I know there are differences in USB used (Gen 5 / Unison). What I'm trying to figure out is what version / upgrades a particular Gungnir has, if any. I don't know if there are clues based on Serial number or "What a Gen 5 vs Unison USB looks like"... I've seen it mentioned that a Serial Number beginning with a "B" means it "has an Analog 2 board that was never officially acknowledged" (...the Secret Menu ). Additionally, I see Black and White USB inputs... not sure if there is anything notable about that, or they just happen to be "a different color because that's what we had at the time".

By the way... I am looking for a D/S version of Gungnir. So, if you have one... well...this is called a "buying sign"...

I've tried searching around and haven't been able to find the definitive info. Not sure if the Schiit mailbox will take a Serial # and provide the details. Haven't tried that yet.

Thanks for any help.

So, interestingly, I found this in eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/276299732769

If it has Unison or Gen5 USB upgrades it will have a sticker showing that.

This is a multibit version, but it's shows the sticker by the USB: https://www.ebay.com/itm/325977945512

Wall-mounted toilet paper rolls that you have to manually unroll and use yourself? That's so cute.

(this whole thing is, quite frankly, hilarious, @Ripper2860 barely socially-acceptable commentary notwithstanding...

P.S.

P.P.S: and she's potentially a Viking...

ROFL! Let's hope her next project is not a soldering robot for Schiit.

I have posted this CD Jennifer Warnes - The Hunter - several times. I play Lights of Lousianne to evaluate high frequency, detail, sibilance and speed. Other tracks for bass. I have owned it since its initial release.

I have just ordered a copy on CD and look forward to hearing it.
The only Jennifer Warnes album I own is ‘Famous Blue Raincoat’ and I really like that.

Edit: I had a listen to 'Famous Blue Raincoat' CD last night for the first time in years. The sound quality is superb!

It’s not available on any streaming services. The physical versions of the box set were limited edition I believe, but do still turn up on eBay at high prices.
Mono versions of Revolver, Sgt Pepper, and the white albums were included in the deluxe box sets of those albums, which are available to stream.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Also the original 1987 CD version's of the first four albums were in mono. If you get hold of those, and combine with what’s on streaming, then there’s only Help! and Rubber Soul missing.
I bought the Mono CD box on release, and it’s my preferred way listening to this music, until you get to the white album, which I prefer in stereo.

The Dylan mono box was mentioned earlier, and I agree. It’s fantastic.

On another note...

I'm kind of amazed at the sensitivity of the human ear (specifically mine, where "cloth eared" would be flattering them....)

I'm converting the aforementioned Jimmy Smith album to digital. The LP is a bit clicky shall we say. Maybe approaching a geiger counter in clickiness, iykwim.
De-clickifying it has taken all day for side one. Using Asgard 3/MB card, DT770, Audacity

I play it, and when I hear a click I stop and "Repair" it. Some of those clicks are less then 30 samples long. The sample rate is 96KHz so that's like 1ms?

P.S. I don't mean to imply any personal exceptionalism here, I imagine most of you would hear more things than I'm hearing at this scale. Just amazed at the ability of human physiology to hear click-ton (!) at that time scale.

Why not record the album, with clicks, completely in Audacity, then it's easy to have the program de-click the entire recording. It's very easy, and what I do with my scratched/click vinyl. It will analyze the whole recording and remove as needed.

Excellent beta. You're a helpful lad, Mike.

Here's to hoping they reissue those CD box sets again someday!

Re: bathroom tissue roll...

Unless you guys got some 6SN7 tube-powered, gravity-defying rolls of Schiit* toilet paper... Does it not allways unroll from the top?

Now, if it unrolls front-facing or rear*-facing... Small nations have gone to war over less, no?

"Unrolls from the top" just doesn't smell* right to me. It's like the meaning of it splashes* back at me, uncomfortably. I feel I'm straining* & grunting* to plop* my thoughts out, sitting* here...



*no pun intended
I'll show myself out.

You're correct re unrolling from the top.
The correct way is front facing un-roll.
That is fact, not opinion.*

*joke - it's opinion

Up this afternoon: Ike Quebec’s last album, “Soul Samba”. It‘s a relaxed and relaxing listen. The NOS Amperex ECC88 tubes in the Freya N have about 20 hours on them and make all the jazz that I’ve listened to so far sound warm and wonderful.

Overshot vs undershot?

Does anyone else remember the anniversary edition that Apple put out on a thumbdrive shaped like an apple?

I started there. It didn't remove very many clicks if I go by all the clicks I can still hear.

The Audacity remove clicks worked better, not foolproof, on another album.

Hmm.. Missed this one on the sine-wave chart...

Haha, replying to a private message in the middle of the night was a bad idea
