I have gotten some chores done this morning as I need to wait for a wine delivery. Listening to some tunes and sipping coffee for now. Really want to get outside and enjoy this wonderful, crisp Fall day. Fedex is usually pretty good about late morning deliveries so the wait shouldn't be too bad. Geez, the things I do for alcohol...

The Campfire Polaris 2's are in the building and I'm smitten already. I'm going to give it some time to be sure it's not new toy syndrome of course but it's looking good. Also, CA is a premium unboxing experience imo.

No vinyl today as getting some head-time with the OH500. Going through tracks of the Cowboy Junkies since we loved the show last week.
Was thinking of @mbwilson111 and wanted to send this along. You can just listen or download tracks. Many of the tracks were engineered for headphones, Very cool stuff...

"Engineered For Headphone Use" - This recording is predominantly binaural (due to the KU-100 mannequin microphone) with some ORTF stereo mixed in. Because of this, headphones are strongly recommended as this will place the sound at the listener's ears as it was incident upon the manenquin microphone's ears during recording. Headphones will also eliminate any cross-talk that may otherwise occur when played back over loudspeakers. Best results are likely to be obtained with headphones that approximate FEC (Free-air equivalent coupling) behavior as defined by Moller, Rozenn Nicol, et al.
