Not today but last night. A business dinner meeting which we were lucky enough to have the chef in a good mood so he prepared a five course off menu dinner built around a 2012 Booker White Rhone blend that I brought and a 2009 French white Rhone my dinner partner brought.
for starters this cucumber based salad with yogurt a Spanish chili grated along with a bunch of Persian spices and Meyer lemon zest. Yummy with the Booker Rhone blend.
Next, a Ahi tuna course, layered with radishes and with wasabi and a sesame and sweet potato consume. Was excellent with the French white Rhone.
Next a crusted shrimp dish that I forgot to take a picture of which again was excellent with the 2009 French Rhone.
You can guess what this is and which wine went well with this.

A desert he just made up on the spot based upon the aromas of the two Rhone wines.
We ran out of white wine so we had this for desert. This shit is awesome! /\ /\ /\ /\ /\
Yeah, seems like ATC's are pretty popular these days.
A friend of mine installed a pair of SCM150ASL's in his control/mix room.
Here's a recording made in his tracking room ( the best sounding live room I've ever heard).
Here's a link to the studio;

Thanks for the BD wishes every one! My wife is the best! I may be loosing it though. Have always loved Revolver, and white LP best of Beatles records. But have been loving the Hard Days Night LP last couple weeks. Listening to side one now. Its moved into tie for #2 favorite. I don't think anything will pass Revolver. Brent, make the drive and come hang out.
No? The only person selling used Orpheus systems for $25k+ is wiktor.
Sounds about right, remember that thread wiktor made on h-fi when he made a custom baffle to secure a transplanted HE60 driver into his spare HE90 enclosure? I was surprised the driver assembly was held down to the baffle by 4 rods and 1 big elastic rubber.
The only difference between the he60 and the he90 headphones is the stator material.
the he60 uses fairly standard fr4, and the he90 uses some kind of plated glass. But
otherwise identical in every way. Same size and shape stators, same diaphrams,
same distances etc...
Larry, coming from driving a couple of Honda 4-bangers and a Prius, it's a damn pleasure to drive a car whose engine doesn't need to rev to the sky to have any semblance of power, so I know just what you mean. Welcome to HC Team Subaru! Not quite sure we're as numerous as Team VW/GTI, but we're gaining!
Walked into a local AV store and their showcase display was the late, lamented Panny TX-P65VT65.
"Wish they still made those."
"Yeah."
"What are you going to do with that?"
"Sell it, eventually."
"How about selling it now?"
"Let me call the boss."
(Some haggling ensues.)
It looks really good.
Spent some time with Estelon Extremes tonight. About $246,000 too much for my blood. Or maybe that was per channel? 166 pairs of LS50s? Anyway, were kinda wonderful.
