Wow! You can't even tell it's cardboard!

Well, if you're going to dip into the black label, @Paladin79 then I figured it is time to finish this project. Kudos and thank you for helping out the man cave! Outstanding. I think the glencairn hangers really finish it...

I have missed the dart board badly enough in the past that I would consider those glasses and bottles to be at risk...

But that sure is beautiful!

It's Friday and I'm only 22 pages behind. Progress!

I'm sure it will happen in the blink of an eye. Time sure seems to get faster every year. Hell, I HOPE to MAKE 80!

My MD told me that if I am generically healthy at 65, I have a 50% chance of making it to 80, so plan accordingly...

Bought my last SACD for the DSD tracks. No more.

While I love my Denon DVD3910 and I've kept it as my CD player because of SACD playback, since getting Yggy, I cannot listen to the Denon imbedded DAC. It sounds thin, harsh, and dull by comparison. I used to love listening to SACD via the Denon and it was awesome (I thought), but Redbook CD via Yggy just smoked it! Yggy has spoiled me irreparably.

I see an Urd in my future.

My financial guy said I should plan on departing at 70 before the rest of my money did.

WOW!

Bass, Modius E, Vali 2 ++, WE 396A, D8000 Pros....
Not my cup of usual tea, but it took me by surprise..
Like a BladeRunner musical score...

And then there's Samantha Fish with her cigar box guitar...

What would be a step up from the ETA for not too much additional $$?
I like the ETA MiniC but I'm thinking Mjolnir3 needs better.

Zero-th: disclaimer: I have a furtwangr hiding in the wings. For this and other reasons I am predisposed to (dynamic) high impedance (at least 200 ohms) headphones. Not exclusive, but predisposed. (A generality: Planars are ‘faster'--stronger attacks-- but dynamics have other advantages in my experience.)

First, if you have not tried the Sennheiser HD 600/650 WITH Dekoni finistrated pads, do that! For me that was a distinct step up for the Senn’s. (Currently you can find those Senn’s new at street price of $400 or so.)

Second. My money is on the JAR600 (Nitsche Sound, $850), but those require patience.
Mine may arrive around Christmas...

Third/Thud I assume ZMF Ateur at about $1500 is a step too far.

Hope this helps
Noah

Went to Craft Recordings and after checking my current record collection, I have 3 of their offerings already. And all in excellent shape. Seems that I was a Classical aficionado at one point in time. Or a Telarc aficionado. Or maybe BOTH!

Final assembly tomorrow, the top piece is removable to allow for a Vali. Tomorrow I also hope to carve out a portion of a flight board for um, recreational use?

Caught up @ the same time today as well.

To be a Schiitaholic is to slake one's thirst whilst drowning in the music. If patience is indeed a virtue then I am next in line to be the Poop (the Head of the Schittite Faith).

Poop ORTicus the Firstest

Oh, Schiitites is such a great name!!!

Well, if I could make it you can too.
