LOL! Without the insert I wouldn't have recognized it was Constanza, great make-up job for the movie.

 

[Pietro Cozzi Tinin]

Noooohh.... It's not.
Constanza is waaay more beautiful.

This. Just power cycle it before trying anything else.

Yep, tried that several times. It would occasionally do that in the past and a power cycle would fix it, but no more.

My computer still sees it at the othert end of USB, but even with music playing, the Yggy doesn't see a source - on any input.

Took some time to find one.

That is really nicely done! Very concise and it illustrates the problem with equal temperament very well. Thanks for the find. Oh, and I thought Big Bird sounded just great in this role.

Sorry, that was the only and easier 'fix' I could come up with (I used to do just that once or twice since I own my Yggdrasil), but I'm sure Schiit will be more than helpful if you contact them!

i like my mahler yuuuuuuuuuuge

 

[FLTWS]

"i like my mahler yuuuuuuuuuuge"

So, are you saying you like early ("junge") Mahler but not late (5th on) Mahler, or
huge ("große")? The later most likely.

Or both? As his later (more abstract) symphonies were (relatively) compact in comparison to #2 and #3, which were more song-like, and huuuuuge!

The last time my piano was tuned, I knew the guy was using some kind of magical foofoo dust.
I hid the chicken bones.
But, it came out sounding much better.
Maybe I should have it tuned more often than each 20 years.

The below is a few pages late, but I cannot resist:

Almost 30 years ago, when Theta Digital was my company, a customer of ours was an American conductor of sufficient renown to be the Principal Conductor one of the top US Orchestras. As well, he guest conducted at several very well known Opera venues in Europe and the US, including the Met. I used to meet him when visiting his city and when he guested in Los Angeles. As I got to know him, he shared Mr. Levine's preferences, known well to all involved with him professionally, including the Met who hired him in spite of this reputation. As a result, he required frequent intervention to prevent trouble with authorities; a slush fund had to be maintained as well to pay off victims. Pampered and spoiled, all he needed to do was to keep his smaller baton in his pants in the presence of minors. Had he managed to do so, The Met, Opera and music in general as well as the entire city of New York would have been far better places. I must wonder how many young boys now men were damaged by this man. Funny thing was that I began to separate from his recordings mentally as soon as this sunk in back then. Most shocking is that this persisted for almost 30 years!

Another Theta customer was a very famous film composer, who shared many similar sordid stories about motion picture producers, directors, and agents of all kinds who could have not continued without massive corruption.

On a related note, I read a book a year or so ago, Scoreboard Baby which chronicles the college careers of many pampered football players - Washington Huskies specifically. These players were involved in activities such as rape, armed robbery, stabbings, shootings, assault, and serial drunk/drugged driving. Funny, all they had to do was play football and show up for class and await NFL careers with millions in annual renumeration. Amazingly, most of them made it. I will still watch High School Ball because it is less corrupt; less money means less corrupt.

Which brings me to yet another reason why I like what I am doing in the business I am in. The audio business is much smaller than Motion Pictures, Classical Music, Collegiate Sports, or Professional Sports. There are no special tax situations, employment incerntives, or grants which give any state, local, or federal government or institution much of an incentive to control and keep us. The Met, The Huskies, and Warner Brothers (among many others movie studios/producers) all operate in a partnership with private, puvblic, and governmental agencies who financially to maintain status quo. Less money gives the audio biz freedom, which at my age, much I prefer to money.

Now, if we have some Schiit employee behaving as above we will find a way to get rid of him, even given California's very forgiving employment laws. We have no direct reason to keep such people for hours, much less for decades. Makes me grateful to be in a biz which lacks sufficient money to be corrupt on any other than very petty levels. Also it is much easier for me to sleep at night.

 

[Byronb]

Well said Sir, That is my wish for everyone, true freedom.

 

[Brian D]

Good on you Mike. Well said.

 

[AudioBear]

Mike, you that was great! If only everyone could be decent human beings the world would be a much better place. I like the way you do your part.

 

[Pietro Cozzi Tinin]

I won't say good for you because it's only appropriate.
But well said indeed.

 

[DoubleIPA]

Pampered and spoiled, all he needed to do was to keep his smaller baton in his pants in the presence of minors.

That's really disturbing.
