  1. you forgot to post some examples!
  2. Have you been consulting with Stretch's ad algorithm?
  3. I got this cheap junk: http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-in-1-853D-SMD-DC-Power-Supply-Hot-Air-Iron-Gun-Rework-Soldering-Station-Welder-/381253195679?hash=item58c476179f:g:XAcAAOSwImRYWK8A It actually looks fairly okay on the inside (see pics below) but I tried locating a thermal fuse on the transformer and wasn't sure where to look. There does seem to be a PLUS version with a case fan, which does seem indicative. Can't use camera right now (long story) but here are some pics which are basically what mine looks like on the inside: http://voltaicforge.com/electronics/wep-853d-clone-soldering-station/ and the transformer looks like this:
  4. Kind of want to go back there one day to see if that bartendress still works there... but that would mean going back to hipster douche capital of the world Williamsburg. I just saw an outdoors Shakespeare in the Other Park performance of Henry V and now would like to carry around a leek with which to bash people
  5. At least that means it's not smart enough to know very much about you, which I think is comforting. I get a lot of ads for Asian dating apps, not really sure what that's all about. A guy I met during jury duty told me how he blocks stuff on Windows without an Ad Blocker. https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/274965 I think there is a hosts file for Macs as well. He also gave me a lot of life advice, and ended it with something along the lines of "Don't trust anything you read."
  6. Midway through heat gunning some SMD components the station straight up died. No lights or anything. I opened it up and am measuring nothing across the transformer primaries even though I checked the power switch and fuse are working. Never had this happen before. Wut do?
  7. I got it from here but it certainly looks similar enough. Imagine doing a poco fortississimo in real life, though
  8. ƒtƒỳ
  9. That's racist, and religionist. Don't make me summon the Flying Spaghetti Monster on you. **BRENT**
  10. I haven't noticed any major changes, though I did recently start Rosetta Stone for this new language espanol but with a squiggly line on the n. **BRENT**
  11. But then they would have to change their name! **BRENT**
  12. Ooh I want to draw a schematic, too. The SR-X drawn in a way that is easier to understand... hopefully I did it right (ignore the tubes) srx schem.pdf
  13. Dust got in the driver somehow
  14. That link says only the "Everest Elite" models have noise canceling
  15. Never heard of kitchen bouquet but can you just help her make it better? My mom is very happy when I help her cook or cook for her.
  16. You're not really missing out on that much with the 007 and 009. They all have their strengths and weaknesses, and it sounds like you value a flat/uncolored sound above all else which the Lambda and 202 get right more than either the 007 or 009.
  17. Keep listening to him and to everyone else and you'll find it sooner than later; sounds like you've started already. He also dug into the keys to draw the sound out, instead of smacking them hard like a certain someone with the Bang Bang moniker. How do you like Richter? Another n-th level technician who never let his ability get in the way of the music, and he sometimes took really, really slow tempi. Reminds me of Leonard Bernstein's hilarious preface to Gould's Brahms 1.
  18. The 50k thing didn't sound anything close in level to pretty much any Lambda to me... maybe a shitty one like the SR404LE. Actually the two I heard connected to the same alien table amp didn't even sound the same, most likely due to the garbage stator design which has a 95% chance of breaking in the first few years.
  19. Which has higher elevation, the cheeks or the slopes? The real answer is a third option
  20. Happy birthday!
  21. Hooray for going old school with the DVD5000 and actual physical CDs!
  22. I have a Zune in that exact color!
  23. It's impossible to explain with words, you just gotta listen.. playing music lays bare your deepest desires, feelings, and insecurities more than any amount of words possibly could. Experienced musicians can easily formulate the kind of person another musician is (like his/her character and upbringing) within the first minute of listening. Whether or not the listener has a connection to the playing is a mutual reflection between the music and his/her own personality. For me, Arrau doesn't let his technical prowess get in the way of the music and is never afraid to take time and really live in the moment instead of through it, and in a way that the rubato actually makes perfect sense. His pure and introspective character is something that jives with me really well. Some pianists and musicians in general overthink until it becomes a bit contrived and some (well, the vast majority) underthink, but expression is always about finding that balance while being very in tune emotionally. An example of the former is Michelangeli, who isn't so good at stuff like Chopin because his intellectualism and perfectionism get in the way but is really good at impressionism and has a ridiculous tonal color palette. My favorite album of all time is his famous Ravel/Rach 4.
