RIP Gale, Dan B., Helen and Mac. 2020 just keeps on giving, Fuck.

Pretty lackluster actual birthday day. Taught my genetics lecture at 8:15, Intro. Research Stats. at 9:45, Zoom office hour 11:00, Research Stats. Lab at noon then stupid paperwork shit until I left work 4:00. Rested for about a half hour at home and then took Peter to soccer practice. The birthday weekend was pretty good. On Friday our new family room couch was delivered and on Saturday, the garage refrigerator was delivered. So all in all a pretty good birthday, and as Al pointed out, much better than the alternative. Thanks for all the good wishes.

Sorry for your loss Jose

Sorry for your loss Jeff

RIP RBG Nothing to add except FUCK 2020 and FUCK McConnell

Finished getting the headphone system reorganized. Pretty sure I am not adding anything new for a while.

Those must be really small drivers.

Happy Birthday, Stretch!

Yes, especially in Florida, as it is not significantly cooler.

Yesterday. A guilty pleasure :

Nothing to Burn?

Excellent! And congratulations on your color matching prowess.

RIP Mae Condolences to her family.

Sorry, cannot Dew eet ... Because I already did it.

So have any of my Mytek brethren experimented with external linear power supplies for their Brooklyn Bridges or DAC+s? I was thinking of trying out an Sbooster BOTW P&P ECO MKII power supply.

Or as I constantly tell my genetics students, both nature and nurture.

Oh. So you are saying it is a Microsoft designed product?

Nate is correct and I have experienced problems when using a source with a hot output. However, for me the balanced option has always been my choice because it well, gives you more options. If you have an amp/headphone combination that is being overdriven you can always switch to SE outputs because if a unit has balanced outputs/inputs then it will have SE but not necessarily the reverse. I also agree that modern R2R options may be the way to go as the vintage stuff does have that whole age thing going on which can make them more of a pain to maintain.The Denafrips that Sherwood linked to looks like a good option for 750 USD and change.

RIP JTE and Chadwick. I am so sad and pissed at the same time.

I agree with this also. In todays political environment you should be able to parse that with what I said above.

Not Real. I agree with the last four. Real Specs

Done!

First post Covid soccer tournament this weekend. It was his clubs tournament so the team could not say no. One game Friday, two yesterday (including a 1.5 hour rain/lightening delay so got home after 9 pm) and the championship game today. Peter plays left center back so he doesn’t get to score many goals but he has become their designated penalty kicker and scored two during the tournament. We nicknamed him “Vanilla Ice” because he is a very calm kicker and unlike Lionel Messi, he has never missed a penalty kick in a game. They ended up winning their division so now we just have to wait and see if it becomes a superspreading event. Peter is the one you would expect to be nicknamed “Vanilla Ice”.
