Thanks Brent.

^And when it breaks and the CDs are stuck inside???

Started ripping them all to a drive but never finished. So, no that is not going to happen. The only reason I am not just chucking them and using Tidal/lossless is because sometimes I just want to put a disk and listen to music. How would one store them without jewel cases so that I can keep them alphabetized and be able easily browse through them? I did binders/pages/sleeves at some point and hated it. Plus, t was impossible to keep organized.

I need something besides IKEA bookshelves to keep my CDs in. Do any of you have anything that has a high WAF? Can be mounted to the wall or stand alone. I think I'll probably keep about 600 CDs. The other option is to chuck them all.

Thanks! The Memphis May be out of my price range. I’ll look into the MAK.

It's summer time and I have a house so it's time to invest in a grill. My girlfriend is Korean and likes to grill ribs a lot so that is a priority. Would also like to be able to smoke brisket/ribs and sear a steak. Traeger or MAK?

Thanks guys. I will check the conductivity and then use them.

There is an option to have the cable terminated as 4pin XLR or 1/4”. I chose the XLR but why do that if not balanced?

I just got my MrSpeakers Aeon headphones yesterday. I ordered them with an XLR termination on the cable terminated assuming this meant I could use them with the balanced/XLR output on the GS-X. Then I opened the box and saw it said the headphone was a “single-ended planar magnetic headphone.” I’m confused. Is it fine to use with a balanced output? Is there any benefit? I can order the cable with a SE termination which would be better for portable use anyway.

Happy birthday Ari!

Thanks guys! I had a great birthday with Yumi and other friends. Started with brunch, then golf, and finished with bubbles, wine, and a trip to a new steakhouse here. Will be back in the Bay Area at the end of June!

Liking the HomePod so far. Its a great kitchen island speaker.

Just ordered a HomePod. Interested to see how it compares to the KEF Muo.

Egberto Gismonti - Solo. Love this album.

Filed my 2017 taxes and remember that I really screwed myself by forgetting to pay my property taxes until January of 2018. This is especially bad since they change the 2018 so that you are limited to deducting $10K on your taxes (and my 2018 property taxes are already going to be around $18K). FML.

Hahahaha!

Made an appt with one of the audiologists recommended by JH Audio. http://www.allisonaudiology.com/ What is Talent relations?

Hey guys, planning to get the Roxanne. I got my JH13 like 8-9 years ago I guess. Not sure if they have my impressions on file still but even if they do, should I get another set of impressions made? I assume your ears change over time. For reference (at least when I got them), the left ear piece fit me perfectly. The piece inside the ear canal was slightly too long but not too irritable. Also, I have pretty small ears, do you think there might be a problem fitting the Roxanne drivers in mine?

Happy birthday Al! Sorry, no beard pic.

Happy birthday Nate!

Happy birthday Naaman!

^Want!

I would buy one if I hadn’t spent so much money on house shit and gym stuff last year. Still tempted.

Whole city (and University) was shut down because of freezing rain - this is the coldest/wettest weather I’ve experience in my 17 years in Houston. We had a job candidate here that I was in charge of. I managed to find a way for the interviews to happen and a place to eat lunch and dinner but it wasn’t easy. It was like a ghost town (which is better than every out driving around and getting into accidents).

It is!
