Any ETA on when Qobuz is coming to the US?

Not my favorite boxing fight, but Floyd can frustrate the audience as well as he frustrates his opponents. If Manny can't hit him then I doubt anyone will be able to. Yeah, Manny may have had an injured shoulder, but I'm not sure that would have made the difference between winning and losing. As a Warriors fanatic, I'm thrilled we won't be seeing the Spurs. I tip my hat to them though, that was one of the great game 7s of all time.

LAC v. SAS in an epic game 7 and now the big fight! What a great sports day!

I've had it for only 5 days now, but I think you are going to be very happy when yours arrives. As long as you charge it every day you shouldn't have to worry about the battery life.

^ I enjoyed it for the most part, but hated the recreations.

Hoping my bling watch lands me a date with that red head on the cover!

I'll do you one better. Attempted blending. It does indeed blend.

Got a tracking number today for delivery tomorrow for my SS with WSB. Woohoo! My excitement is tempered by the fact that that the Space Grey one I'm giving to someone as a gift won't be showing up anytime soon, but oh well.

So I bought two on launch night (one for me, one as a gift) and it looks like one of them is going to arrive this week and the other isn't. Boo-urns! The Space Grey Sport must be all kinds of supply constrained.

Inmates running the asylum?

Had my try on appointment as well. First thing, the 42mm is smaller than I thought. See this photo of my wrist next to one of the demo units. Maybe I have big wrists? I actually really liked the feel of the sport band, at least in the brief minute I tried it. I ordered the stainless with white sport band on launch night and thought at the time that I'd grab another band as a daily driver. Now, I'm not so sure I need a second. I liked the leather loop, but I'm not sure I "need" it. Even after seeing all of them I don't know which color leather loop I'd get. I'm mean, look at them... they all look good. I'll probably end up getting one at some point, just not right away at the launch. Also, for those of you who are getting the space grey sport I will say that the leather loops all look AMAZING with the space grey watch. I actually didn't much care for the link bracelet. I knew it would be heavier than the other bands, but the weight difference when its actually on your wrist is quite substantial and is a little too much for me.

Man... I feel like Apple is doing everything right these days. I'm totally in on one of these. The hands-on videos that tech sites have been posting look very impressive. As much as I doubt that they are going to sell many gold ones, I do think its important that they put it out there. In a strange way I think it gives them credibility and shows that they really are trying to make a watch, not just another gizmo.

Old Pair: 1207. New Pair: 2957

Maybe at some point in the future I'll send my new 009s to Tyll for measuring. He measured my original pair way back when (link) so it would be interesting to see if there are any substantial differences in the charts for a newer pair.

I don't doubt it. I'm really liking the second pair. I can't say exactly what is different, but my impression is that they sound a lot less sterile. It is a welcome change. Is any link or additional info you can provide, Spritzer?

Huh, this made me think. My subjective impression is that my replacement pair of 009s does sound better than my first pair (bought via PJ before they went on sale in the US) with the HV. I thought I was imagining things. Could be just having brand new pads, but maybe they really did fix something in the later 009 production runs?

^ Boy, the David Carr thing makes me sad. He was one of my favorite writers over at the NYT. He was intelligent, honest, and frank, and he had a lot more left to give. RIP

I watched Pete Carroll make a horrible decision to pass when he has the best running game in football and three tries to run it in from the 3 yard line. Would not recommend.

No shit.

While I agree with you that Yahoo in general is increasingly irrelevant, many of the individual writers (in this case Pogue) are still very widely read.

Yahoo hates it too. https://www.yahoo.com/tech/it-was-one-of-kickstarters-most-successful-109496883039.html This thing is going to be a complete flop.

I'm embarrassed I left this off my list back when we were doing out top 5 albums of all time about a year ago.

Innerfidelity.com has a wall of fame you may want to peruse. Or you could just go with the tried and true Floats by Dre™.
