Hey everybody, I hope you all have a safe and happy holidays this year despite the lockdown.

Thanks @Armaegis. Just listened to your show, another solid set. Happy holidays to everybody. With any luck we will all be able to get together by summer 2021. Until then

@rifi
Thanks man; always happy to know there are listeners out there in radio land.
For those who don't know, I have a show on Sunday nights from 7-8pm on 101.5 FM playing swing/jazz music.

Here's to 2021! On a somewhat related topic, here is an image that I think people around these parts might enjoy.

Hey guys, looks like my new year is going to require job hunting. If anyone knows of any openings for mechanical engineers or project managers, please let me know. Thanks.

 

[Velomane]

Armaegis, was this expected? Good luck with the hunt. There's a big social engineering project going on south of the border if you want a daunting challenge.

 

[Armaegis]

@Velomane A little bit? he's been unhappy with my performance lately because I'm not "profitable". I on the other hand have been super frustrated because he keeps giving me projects that I can't deliver on because he has promised the clients impossible things and I wind up sinking too many hours into keeping the projects afloat. I feel like I'm in a lose-lose situation.

 

[Velomane]

Ugh, sorry to hear that Armaegis. I wish you well in your quest. Sounds like you were set up to be in a perpetual state of anxiety and frustration.

Thought this might he news of interest around these parts: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Sennh...r-headphone-and-speaker-markets.522759.0.html
TLDR - Sennheiser consumer division up for sale.

 

[Armaegis]

It's an interesting move. I'm hoping that some good hands pick it up. Maybe if it sticks within the realm of the German guys like Beyerdynamic or AKG/Harman banding together, rather than some eastern counterpart who will gut it. Sennheiser acquired Neumann some years back but then shifted production and parts to China which has drawn a fair bit of criticism for a drop in quality since then.

Hey guys, upgraded Schiit Yggdrasil available locally:

Figured I'd post this for my cousin who's moving soon: https://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649728886-jbl-l200-modified-please-read/
He's under the same name here on head-fi, but he hasn't been active on these forums in a long time.

Hi all

I sure miss the days of big speakers in the 70's I bought a pair of Belle Klipsch speakers and listened to them until I found a pair of 12" Gold Monitor speakers in American Hifi. After I got those I never listened to the Klipsch again. I had quite a few nice amps as well.
