uh huh lol.

"Coors didn't get national distribution until 1986. Which is why, in the 1970s, Coors wasn't actually licensed to sell east of the Mississippi, making it, briefly, a rare and sought-after product. (Per Time Magazine, Gerald Ford, Eisenhower, and Paul Newman hoarded the stuff.)"

I was dating a young woman from Oklahoma who used to have it mailed to me. It was the rarity I suppose, it sure does not taste the same to me now lol.

Coors was never any good, and they came by their nickname honestly: "Rocky Mountain Piss Water."

Dear Jason,

If you would imprint your logo on these esoteric RCA wonderhabben caps made by Norse elves you could sell a Schiit load of them.

Just sayin'!

Coors lost a lawsuit from a retailer. Coors didn't pasteurize their beer and delivered it to retailers in a refrigerated truck. It really did taste unique. They only sold to retailers who agreed to keep the product refrigerated at all times. One retailer sued, saying they bought it and can display it any way they wan't (Aisle end caps, unrefrigerated). After that Coors had to pasteurized their product and it now is like all the other mediocre American beers.

I recall hearing about that and it is pretty bad now. I cannot imagine drinking the lite version.

Finnegan is leaving my vacuum tubes alone, he has new toys.

That explains it! I remember it once tasting good... I always thought it was because of the girls in the bar... LOL

Let me see if I got this straight, we’ve got a sneak peak of the Tyr within the marketing materials for the Lokius Maximus Lord Of The EQ whatever it’s called, though no official specs or anything, right?

Yep, and they'll probably also use the very same photo for the Tyr when it comes out.

Yeah, no trouble that we saw. However at that time in Australia you could just waltz into a local football game, no searches etc. Not so at the Raiders game - clearly searching for weapons - so we did get a little concerned. But all turned out well, and had a great afternoon.

You know those are cheerleaders right? Of course many times more entertaining to watch than the actual game. But if those are what Australian footballers look like, I'm watching the wrong sport.

Sadly, they went out of business in 2003. The site is currently a mess, several attempts at some craft distilleries, etc, but nothing ongoing..... Tumwater Falls remains gorgeous

I remember the old motorcyle ad and the frog ads

First the AKM factory fire. That was five products that needed to be completely redesigned--three of them mine.

Oh, man, a missed opportunity. Simply start adhering to the Cult of Measurements, then a DAC is a DAC, switch chips and off you go!

No, wait, that would suck for us. Glad you did what you did. Never mind.

Simply that it allows me to run all the analog connections balanced.

It also allows application of equalization to all inputs to the preamp,

@bcowen made those Tyr's (?) for Schiit. They're just a cardboard mock-up!
