Freaks and Geeks is legendary and it used to be fun to get into Freaks vs. Wonder Years fights! Speaking of the shows set in the 80s, anyone check out Physical (AppleTV)? Watched the pilot last night and cynical fuuun. Looks better than…

If anyone wants to watch the first COVID concert of this thread, Nick Cave's Idiot Prayer, see below. I still think out of all the concerts I saw, and I saw more in 2020 than any previous year, it best encapsulates the lockdown virtual concert experience.

In the last three hours I've found out Eastern Electric is out of business, Resonessence Labs is out of business, Lavry hasn't brought a new dac to market since the DA11, and Macs stopped including toslink outs. When does the madness end?

Yeah, I dropped Lost almost immediately, but Leftovers and Watchmen will have me following Lindelof for awhile.

Kinda is much older for Hollywood.

Bonus points if you plant them first like ole Johnny.

Amazon bookshelf customer reviews are fun

Watched Bob Odenkirk defend his family in Nobody as I slotted together IKEA KALLAX bookshelves. By the end I'd say we're similarly manly, give or take.

Congrats. What are you pairing with them (sorry if I missed)? Although they pretty quickly became my top phones, I've been critical of the Clears aggressive presentation, but after experiencing them with a little EQing I'm debating about picking up a dedicated amp to them. Just what I need, more gear. Then that's it. Forever and ever and ever.

As it was a per-album thing for me (and sometimes when I preferred Atmos it isn't Atmos itself, but I wanted the recede mids a little and balance out, course reverse that and sometimes I preferred stereo to bring out the mids, and of course some tracks are great in mono), I've turned it Always On and going to try for a few weeks and see how I adjust with a variety of phones. Problem being there aren't many Spatial Audio albums I want to listen to so I'll be stereo all the time and when listening on work laptops older OSs prevent it even being turned on. At this point it really reminds me of the iFi 3D+ implementation (which I like most of the time) at about three times the strength. That strength makes the preference more obvious one way or another. Apple usually launches 1G products/services with a bang and I really don't feel that way with the AirPods Max and specific Spatial Audio albums this round. We'll see. Anyone remember the Zenph "re-performances" with half stereo and repeated half binaural tracks? Those were the days. It lasted what a year?

Leica shooters say…

Boring cover. Opposite on the music. Perfect Saturday morning listen.
