One instance of that pic would have been more than enough.

Raggy 2 sure is tempting at that price. Would start a whole new setup with it. Wouldn't really be using headphones with it often, but I wonder how it sounds compared to the MJ3.

Yggy+ GS2 and Ragnarok 2 would be a damn good setup at a damn good price. (I own a Ragnarok 2 and have owned Yggy+ GS2.)

Ragnarok 2 is a bit more laid back than MJ3, but I haven't compared them directly recently enough to remember how they stack up in other qualities. I'll see if I can find time to compare tonight. I have them on a switch attached to an Yggy MIB.

The one I had resembled the red one, but in a gorgeous green, not convertible. The 8-cylinder (IIRC) in it was a wonder.

Thing was a tank. I got rear-ended by an out-of-towner on Memorial Drive in Cambridge (near the Stop N Shop?). The all plastic rental front-end was all over the street.
The Valiant's rear bumper had an extra 2deg downward tilt...

...That you could fix with a tire jack. Yeah.

Funny, we have a Memorial Drive in Calgary too, but no Stop n Shops.

You cannot knock a true “put your money where your mouth is” obsession.

It all started with a '66 with the 273 small block V8 Commando. I bought it in primer and when I could finally afford to, had it painted Plum Crazy Purple with white upholstery. You could take your foot off the pedal on the highway and it would just idle along at 60mph. I loved that car and drove it until rust ate it (as you can guess I had no garage, and as it was my only car drove it on the salty winter roads). I got bit, and the result was another five '65s and a hardtop '71. I had to sell the last one (the red one) in April of last year to cover my bills...

Had to hook up my new (to me) Asgard 2 to the Yggy to compare the two Class A, no feedback siblings. Crazy how the little Asgard 2 holds a candle to it's much bigger, more expensive, younger brother. It falls just behind in a few areas, but otherwise, nothing to complain about without directly A/Bing like I am now. What a bargain this was back when this released in what, 2013?

Moved it to the bedside dresser and connected my trusty Mojo2 as a DAC (I should really grab a modi multibit or something) and now we're talking.

Explain this then!

Greatest Connery movie ever!

I liked Peter Sellers in Casino Royale, but that was a different movie.

With Woody Allen as the master criminal. Wonderful parody of the Bond movies.

3+ years, 30K miles on my Mach-E, OEM tires still serviceable with no abnormal wear patterns. I will likely swap them out later this year with some Hankook Ions. Put the correct sort of EV-rated tires on an EV and drive it like a sane person and the tires are fine.

I think there's a little too much focus... Get out. Go hiking. See your family. Take a trip. Meet new people. Do something you've never done before. Learn a new skill. Try a new hobby. Say hello to actual humans. Sit and enjoy a beer without poking at your phone. It's OK.

EVs are all about insta-torque squeeze-n-gooooooooo!!!!!

And you'd want me to drive one sane?

EDIT: 'Most' being the current crop of performance-oriented EVs, not lame Nissan LEAFs.

From (long) memory: A2's bass is less well defined, and the mid-to-trebble zone a bit rougher. But otherwise, a great little amp, my first Schiit
