Aura

i partook in the live stream as well... really liked it. ended up purchasing the digital download too, can't wait for it to fully-release.

been adding some dark roast back into daily grind (pun intended) to have some lower acidity in my midday/afternoon drink. i did Old Bisbee Bali Blue last order and yeah, it's just too dark and unruly to work with in pour-over and challenging even on aeropress. i decided this time to try Bisbee's current El Salvador and it is absolutely a better brew for the v60. it's a pinch too dark still, but has a ton less overt bitterness and more balanced tartness. this is close to ideal for a light roast counterpart in the morning.

Death - The Sound of Perseverance

Nothing - The Great Dismal

happy birthday Chris!

happy birthday, bro!

I still have half a bottle from 2019 batch. should sample soon and see how it is....

literally never listened to this U2 album before. so now I am.

sprouts and filet on the Weber.

The Ocean - Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic | Cenozoic (weird title, decent music)

some \m/ Uada - Djinn

Fleet Foxes - Shore

running through this one now. yessir very good.

As happy as I am with Edifier in the living room, the Wireless 2 LS50 sure looks fucking great.

Very sorry, Jeff. (((Hugs)))

RIP RBG 😢

monday \m/ Of Feather And Bone - Bestial Hymns of Perversion

The Newton Brothers - The Haunting of Hill House (Music from the Netflix Horror Series)

yep it’s a BJC. they’re the bestest.

Very sorry, Al and Claire. Run free, Mae. ☹️ and fuck cancer.

doesn’t suck.

i ended up grabbing an Adcom GDA-700. the price was dirt cheap, it has the outputs i wanted, and it has all the old tech and sound i’m familiar with. no regrets.

Disclosure - ENERGY

that part is easy. Schiit Eitr. works like a charm and made a noticeable improvement in sound in both my rigs.

Ric - what newer options are you comparing against? Also still using an unmodified 1100 in the speaker rig. i can’t say i have issues with imaging or instrument location (this is with Pioneer M22 + Lowther DX65). soundstage could be a bit wider.
