At the table pour-over coffee? Vietnam, starting in 1857. Still some of the best.

A person cannot live by coffee alone...

True

What's that setup? I'm tempted to replace my French press...

It's a Vietnamese coffee maker, a Phin. You can order one on Amazon if you wish.

Since this is the caffeinerds thread, I wanted to share this video from Abyss Headphones with you.



Found it in the February edition of the San Francisco Audiophile Society (SFAS) newsletter.
Enjoy!

I thought that this was a Schiit thread in an audio forum. I just slogged through four pages looking for Schiit, or at least audio. I guess that I am in the wrong place.

J.P.

It's an odd thread. Baldr rarely posts (I'd guess once every 2-3 months). I get more technical enjoyment at the other thread... here. My 2 cents...

Nice ad. Coffee seems much too watery.

I love coffee - so don't mind when the convo veers into coffee. LOOOOVE BBQ, so don't mind when the convo (like in the other thread) veers into BBQ (and BBQ trash talking). I find cars boring. They are just a tool for going from A to B. To talk about them is a waste of time. Cars have happened in the other thread. If you are reading this, denizens of the other thread, pls NO MORE CAR TALK. Pls.

(half joking, of course - BUT, cars are boring. For reals )

Car audio was my first REAL passion which naturally led to being passionate about the cars themselves, then I got bit hard by the horsepower bug and it's been a struggle ever since...

Well, that calls for a song! It just what you needed...

Mike Moffat and the Gadget are mentioned briefly at the end of this article about tuning pitch:

As an engineer I'm curious about the Gadget but it's unlikely I'll want one. My listening is primarily classical music, and I'm interested in listening to performances, not altering them.

yes my Audi 80 sounded better to me than the Audi R8 at the RAi

but seriously when i heard Canton drivers with special amplification and without the boom bass in a colleague’s Honda i was amazed, but never got to rebuild my car...

Reference the Gadget, I wonder if @Baldr has seen this —> https://432evo.be/ ? The standard server with a 2tb SSD is £2500 in the UK.

That's very interesting. Here are A/B demos (beginning at 5:00) of the 432 EVO playing the original recording, then converting to 432 tuning. I wish there were some classical music examples.



I appreciate that some people feel "Do whatever sounds good to you", but nevertheless I have some uneasiness applying it to my listening of classical music. Imagine Glenn Gould's recording of Goldberg Variations retuned to 432. If Gould actually sat down at a piano tuned to 432, he would have played the music differently — musicians respond and interact with the sound. So the retuned Goldberg Variations would be a distortion of how Gould would actually play the music with 432 tuning. It is like sampling a recording and altering it, which is common in pop music but the concept would be contentious in classical music tradition.
