Well, a couple things. I worked my ass off to lose 35 pounds over the last year. When I played in college I was 6'9" 245 and NOBODy thought I was "pretty skinny". LeBron James and Julius Randle, two of the stronger power forwards in the NBA, are both 6'9" 250 and nobody calls them skinny. How big a boy are you?

Um, in this thread you previously said:
"Lambo's...loose plastic parts everywhere, interior, poor handling. Every lambo I've been in has been a huge dissapointment aside from the sound, Porsche on the other hand, never. A Porsche is vastly superior to a lambo in almost every regard."

If you've really been in Lamborghinis or Porsches your not 6'11" 330. I've driven a 911 automatic before and it was extremely tight and uncomfortable. Can't even close the door if I try to get behind the wheel of a newer Corvette.
If you're just joking around no worries!

After all the time you spent there you should speak fluent Mexican Spanish??!!!
You're correct, I should 😄 After travelling in Latin America for probably over 5 years in total but without any lesson nor a feeling for languages I can get by but a conversation has to stop after 5 minutes as I'm running out of words. Interestingly my pronounciation apparently is very good but that's just luck.

Amazing. What's the longest time you've ever spent in a single country?
Mexico and China 15 months, closely followed by Indonesia and India for just over 12.

Wow, that combo sounds like a powerhouse! Binom-ER must really be working some magic to bring desktop-level vibes to a portable setup.


I wanted to share a great customer service experience with Brise Audio.

I bought a few interconnects from them to go with my Fugaku. One was a Yatono LE for my Sony DMP-Z1. Because of Sony grounding issues it is a hard to find 4.4 and 3.5 to 4.4. It is fantastic - think Marianas Trench levels of bass.

Another was a cable labeled as output labeled for 4.4 to dual XLR. But I didn’t read the fine print - it was a male terminated xlr so usable only for input (think dap to dac for example). So I asked them which would be appropriate for a connection to my desktop DACs (dcs Vivaldi and Rossini). Do you know what their response was? (Answered my question within a few hours BTW)

Would a length of 1.5m be acceptable?


An outstanding company that takes care of their loyal customers. Their summit-fi products are matched with summit-fi service.

I have unfortunately received some low offers, however, I am hopeful that a serious buyer will come along.


Thank you very much, Ike.
Your price is already $500 - $700 below market value. Don't accept any low offers on this!
