While your source may be excellent your amplifier is ill-suited to lots of things given it's high output impedance. Maybe the Utopia's are one of them? The quality of the tube you have in there isn't going to help with that, either. And one person posting an opinion that isn't the direct mirror of yours is hardly the equivalent of anti-vaxer behavior. I don't know what axe you're trying to grind here but it's a huge bummer.

Beef brisket burgers just hit the grill.

Happy Birthday!

I might have a friend that'd be interested. I'll check her when she gets back from travel on Monday. Shoot me a PM with what you'd be looking for.

Happy Birthday, Al. Raising a cloudy NE IIPA in your honor tonight.

This.

Nicely done! So jealous. It'll probably be 10+ years before I get to ride again, assuming they still have motorcycles at that point.

Happy Birthday!

Indeed, all of the above and again, happy belated birthday!

Happy Birthday!

This. I don't think be up for that at 1/3 the price. Bring a Trailer has been showcasing a steady stream of fast wagons lately for the curious. Exhibit 1 - http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1995-bmw-m5-2/

I can't wait till they allegedly offer 4k.

It gets way better as it progresses.

Episode 4 was great, probably enjoyed it more than any of the Grand Tour episodes. Very much looking forward to 5 tonight, especially the KOH portion.

This is pretty great. Goldfrapp - Silver Eye

Thank you for posting this. Didn't know it existing and now must buy.

This. Rest in peace, GG.

It would have been near-criminal if that flagrant foul call decided the game. The timing of the victory is pretty funny too as I'd best most (myself included) woke up only to think that some elaborate prank was underway.

As the Stones eloquently said, what a drag it is getting old.

Mother Nature has a sense of humor, it would appear. 6" of heavy, wet snow fell overnight and as of 4:30 this morning the power is out. Woke up at 6:30 to fire up the generator and get the heat back on and had enough sense to remember that I had purchased an electric burner last year so I was able to make coffee.

Happy birthday!

Sam, If you want to give Win10 a cheap spin let me know. I've got a mostly-surplus Surface Pro 3 that I could part with cheaply. It's barely been used and comes from the HC family.

Truth.

I know I'm probably in the minority but I'll offer a dissenting opinion. I got rid of my iPad back in November and haven't missed it. I prefer a laptop for surfing, email, etc. so I picked up a cheap 13" Air and it cover 95% of what I want it to. The only time I want a tablet is when I'm on a plane. I tried a surface pro and it's a fine device but for more of my use cases I am much more comfortable with a traditional laptop with a hinge that can support the screen without flopping around.

Grahame, Odds are good something from the yamaha lineup could cut it. And yes, the Harmony remotes are essential these days. I use a 650 and it's far from perfect but does pretty well. The pain is the PS3 and the lack of direct compatibility. Still, the kids have everything figured out even if the grandparent's don't quite. The new setup will hopefully be as user-friendly if not a bit more so but that'll be a work in progress until all of the components selected. So far the only actual selection has been the speakers, long way to go.
