Wait, new turntable? What did I miss?

I'm on 11.1.1 in the SE. Worst battery lives since I got it in May or June

Congratulations, Jacob! Best wishes

Happy Birthday, Dinny!!!

So you'll enjoy being with whales sub-marinely to feel the sub-bass being substandard on any recording.
-
sub-bass is for sub-normals Discerning music listeners just need bass.

Sorry for the water troubles, Chris. Again, have a great Birthday

Happy Birthday (again), Mikey!!!!

Even H2 headphones with personalized ‘Earprint’ signature
Torpedo replied to jvlgato's topic in Headphones
Venlafaxine works pretty well on migraine and in the vertigo-migraine conditions, it has acceptable side effects (the common ones) which possibly wouldn't be a problem in your case since you're taking beta blockers already. Sometimes we use it in association with Flunarizine, so lower doses of both could be effective. Just saying -

Yes, I understood you were on them and that they caused more problems than they solved, sorry if my wording wasn't clear and it seemed more a suggestion to try them than the expression of the two I knew you tried. Have you been prescribed other things? You definitely need a good otoneurologist or neurootologist who can help you with the dizzy feeling. Is it continuous or does it happen on attack-like episodes, are they long? Tinnitus is a whole different story, sometimes rather innocuous drugs like betahistine or ginkgo biloba extract help a lot, but at other times nothing is really helpful. Feel free to PM me, I won't be playing the online doc, but I could make some suggestions so you can ask your specialist. -

Don't give up, Mike, there are plenty of medications which they can try on you, some have more adverse effects than others, and that depends a lot on individual idiosyncrasies. If you're suffering those vertigo attacks, you may find a benefit from any of them. If the vertigo went and now the problem is the hyperacusis and the tinnitus, then expected results are less encouraging, yet still worth trying. Some migraine treatments work really well on the migraine-vertigo pathologies, better than the meds you said you tried so far: acetazolamide and topiramate. -

Sorry Mike, vertigo is much worse. I just had an episode as a side effect of one of the intratympanic injections I got as a treatment, due to Lidocaine used as local anaesthesia to avoid the steroids being painful into the middle ear. The episode lasted for six hours and was really awful. If I had that on a regular basis I'd take whatever they'd feed me. The condition in my case is just affecting hearing. I can stand the tinnitus pretty well though. The worse part for me are loud and high pitched sounds becoming annoying and not sounding right. You spend your life learning to listen and to become a discerning audiophile and once you can tell good from bad all becomes bad -
Sorry, Carl. Heartfelt condolences to you.

So sorry, John. For a different reason I'm going through the very same process, with the same symptoms, even the same left ear. It started almost a month ago. If it doesn't improve a tiny bit I could be selling all my headphones, and I would ask you about those Even H2. I wish they work. -
That Rolex is particularly versatile, you can wear it with a serious elegant suit and also in a T-shirt with jeans while washing the car and not looking out of place. Elegant thin watches aren't very versatile, specially if you're going to do some sporty activity.

How much do they weigh now? Oh, I asked the wife and a dartboard would be approved
-
It's wonderful too, so I can understand. A black leather strap makes it a classic to wear in black tie occasions.
-
That's a cool one too I like the Master Ultra thin, but the Reversos better. Not sure, hopefully both...
-
Thank for the well wishes, Brent. I like how those Thrust look. They don't seem to make them with natural feather flights anymore. They were a rarity even 35 years ago.

Really wonderful, Dave. One of my favourite watches. Maybe one of these days...
