Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

I am not opposed to surgery but right now I am listening to two doctors.😉 I am also losing weight so that might help, I am nearly at 6’3” and 215, give it take.😁
The problem with no surgery is that those broken bits of cartilage move around in the knee and sooner or later get stuck where inflammation/swelling/pain flare up. The surgery cleans out all that debris. My right-knee arthroscopic surgery was 27 years go, and the knee functioned really well until 2019, when osteoarthritis started causing problems. I've had two surgeries on my left knee, 2006 and 2016, I get a bit of swelling from time to time when I push it hard, did get a hyaluronic acid injection a year ago to deal with a bigger flare up. According to my current orthopedic doc I can continue to hike and ski, no knee replacements for quite a few years still. But he suggested that I do hyaluronic acid injections on both knees right before the ski season...

🤔… (a) is the approximation for the height or the weight? (b) will the surgeon measure twice, cut once or … 😳

... until I get to study the math and the internal workings of that. Which we don't get to do until they decide to release those details, ...
Mike/Baldr has often said that the math is based on a 1918 Bell Labs paper. I haven't been able to find it, maybe you can?

When the subject of adapters came up earlier, it reminded me of a strange question I’ve been meaning to ask - does anyone know where to get a rigid Y splitter for an XLR headphone pair? This would plug-in to the XLR socket on a Ragnarok 2, for example, and then I could plug two balanced headphones into the Ragnarok.
Why would want to do such a thing? Simple. I’m looking to A/B headphones with a friend, so we can plug two sets of identical headphones into a rag and compare notes.
Obviously, we would use similar or the same headphones, so no impedance problems, etc.

More Iso-Acoustics Love

....

OK, back to work!
Sympathies on having to go back to work. My dogs don't understand that is where their kibble comes from.

Two questions:
  1. what is your floor? concrete, etc?
  2. These are attached to floorstanders? (I wonder what the effect would be on standmounts. Attached to stand? between speaker and stands? between stands and floor? both?)
ty!

I actually watched it. First time I've watched one of his videos. Very weird priorities. And at the end he says "I listened to it using a couple of headphones. You may ask why I listen, it's to make sure there's no distortion." ¯\_(⊙_ʖ⊙)_/¯
.
Wait, so his ears can hear distortion that doesn't show up on his vaunted APX?! Who da thunk!

Recent Messages conversation with a friend who shall remain nameless to protect his safety:



Thoughts? 🤣
Rack ears?

I want everything to be smaller... It's for the children and climate...

... 17" is standard non-rack size; I chose 16" because I'm a bit cussed ... 19" is standard rack size, AKA 17" with rack ears, .... 20" no, just no.
So, 16 is a nice binary number. Awaiting the 8/4/2" units... Well, technically 7/3/1 for ventilation room...

Why not dimensions with prime numbers? 🤷🏻‍♂️

…. 😳 …. “rigid Y splitter” …. (low-budget horror/porn film title?) ….

I wonder what ASR would make of this interview with the late founder of NVA?
https://nvahifi.co.uk/pages/richard-dunn-interview

Q: But you still have to use test equipment when you design your amplifiers, don't you?
A: The only reason I have to use test equipment is to make sure the amplifier is safe.

🙂
