    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    A few decades into the last century I had two friends; we hung out together. We came up with one-word nicknames for each of us. Jan, a vegan, was "Veg", Nancy was "Oops", and I was "Nap". Has anyone seen my melatonin?

    What sweet Hell is this. I am quoting me-self? Well, reading the responses to this post I wonder if some missed the little "N" next to "Magni" on my Magni Piety. Wonderful amp. But, the Vali 3, with the headphone connection out of the way that some recommended...well I read a review and had read...

    There are several things that keep me coming back to this forum. One is finding some music that is incredible. Thanks Tom. Another reason is revealed in the following link. After seeing that many years ago my internet posting fell by 90%, but I'm still working on it. Duty Calls

    A few hours ago, after not thinking of this story since well into the last century, it popped into me head as I was talking with an old lover on the phone. So I had to tell it to her. And here it is again. If you do a Google search for it in pdf form it is easy to find on the internet. Recommended.

    A few hours later I feel the need to apologize for the "go autistic" phrase. Mea culpa.:sweat:

    Mouse? Rat? Sometimes I wonder why you can't buy mouse or rat cat food. Then I remember that people, not cats are buying it.

    I think your priorities are off. I suggest you remove the door to the bathroom, put the sub where it needs to go for best sound. No big deal for people to step over the sub. Then you are done. Addendum: if the bathroom does not have an exhaust fan you might want to add one.

    At amateur astronomy gatherings, known as Star Parties, people have mistaken Dobsonian telescopes with the tube point straight up for trash cans.... Images of Dobs Now for something completely different. Thinking of getting some speaker cables. 8 or 9 feet long, and economical. Blue Jeans...

    Low end. Cheap. Generic. Otherwise bang for buck cable thread!

    Thinking of buying some new speaker cables. 8' long, not bi-wired. Speakers: Linaeum 10, Nominal impedance: 8 ohms, goes down to 6 ohm but nothing difficult. Sensitivity: 88dB. I'm considering BJC Twelve White Speaker Cable or Supra Classic 2.5. Thoughts?

    I rode in an Audi EV a few days ago. It seemed very quiet and low road noise. This was city streets, 45mph at most. Light classical music was playing. ... and then I hear faint whine that increased in pitch and volume in acceleration, and the opposite in deceleration. It might have been 'added'...

    Thank you for the heads up! One of my favorite ECM artists is Steve Tibbets. Unique electric guitar player, sui generis.
