Gettin' ready for the weekend with new shoes (Puma)

Welcome

Cheers!

Hm, it's fun what you can randomly find on shuffle play in Qobuz sometimes. This popped up earlier today for me. For folks who dig Steely Dan and love guitars like me, this is an unexpected gem. Can't believe I haven't come across it before. I'm listening to Robben Ford rip a ferocious cover of "Peg" right now. Check it out!

You dudes are important to me. Been super busy at work. Sorry Tom about the tornado. Listening to a very underrated album. Rush Roll the Bones. Try it, please! So good. Still on Canadian whisky. Bourbon not my favorite. Lol! Have a good memorial day!

Great album... I listened to it a lot when it first came out.

This may have been clarified previously, but is it possible a future firmware update could add a standby mode to Gungnir 2 to reduce power draw (and heat) when not being used?

After decades of getting up by 0500 to start my workday I wonder how long it will take for my mental alarm clock to let me sleep longer? ...

Give it 3 weeks or so. And you can stay up later now, too.

Oh! I can tell the boss I'm practicing for my retirement when I oversleep now!

Thanks for the idea!

No. Would need relays to do this that aren't there.

Why would a DAC benefit from a standby mode? What would you turn off?

The big benefit would be the ability to silence M. Manson when visiting @bcowen's Fotonic Preservation Center.

Can anyone recommend some bluegrass guitar albums purely instrumental?

If you owned a Gungnir MB A1 you wouldn't ask IMO.

I think that that would be a programmable auto mute function that detected odd noise.
PS: I do own a OG MB and still wonder why you would want a standby function.

I really like instrumental bluegrass

Bobby Britt - Alaya
Bryan Sutton - Ready to Go, Bluegrass Guitar, Not Too Far From the Tree
Christian Sedelmyer - Ravine Palace
Ned Luberecki - Take Five
Anything by Nathan Bowles
Hannah Read and Michael Starkey - Cross the Rolling Water
Jacken Elswyth - At Fargrounds
Laura Jane Wilkie - Vent

Eight Point Star - self-titled
All of Hawktail's albums
Andrew Marlin's solo albums
If you're feeling weird, try Magic Tuber Stringband, Will Csorba, or Mike Gangloff's albums with Steve Gunn or Elkhorn

Edit: just realized you said guitar. Only some of this applies. If you want guitar, you may be barking up the American Primitive (or Appalachian folk, or "fingerstyle") tree, where the centerpiece to me is the earlier Daniel Bachman albums, or anything Jack Rose did.

Thanks so much. I know Bryan Sutton is quite well known. I'll take a listen to some of these. You've given me lots of options it's appreciated.

You could be right with "fingerstyle" being what I'm looking for. I need to listen to more.

Yard work till lunch. Cleaning out/up the upstairs front bedroom.
Long story, not going there, of the room becoming a storage room/wear-house. Complete with some steel shelving units.
Returning the room to bedroon status.
While working on the room the adjacent room's stereo played.
Speakers <- Series 20 M25 <- Series 20 C21 <- Bifrost MB, Unison <- Cambridge iPod Dock <- iPod <- Pink Floyd > random

Enjoy the Schiit N Music
