What did you do today?

Yea they do. They can be bigger than smaller dogs so they have meat.
The population has gotten larger and larger and its legal to hunt them 6 months.
It’s common to hit “bugs” or deer or moose here.

Today I spent a rather interesting day working on the main system in the living room. That system has been a real workhorse and gets run every day for very long periods. It requires maintenance every so often to keep it running well. Today was the day. Here she is at a quick glance:


Of course this is a full 7.1 surround system. 125W per channel and supports Dolby Atmos, Dolby Surround and has a 32 bit DSP. JBL E90 fronts and EC35 center make up the mains, Sony 10-inch powered sub, Triangle BR02s are the rears with Polk spot surrounds providing fill. This system provides a very rich, organic and immersive experience. Today, she got some much-needed TLC.

Maintenance activities today consisted of the following:

  • Remove components, clean cabinet, gear and re-install. Refresh speaker connections.
  • Install custom Mogami premium directional high-definition interconnects with gold plated locking connectors
  • Replace crap optical cable with a really nice optical cable from SKW.
  • Replace old Monster digital coax for sub with an SVS Soundpath Subwoofer cable
  • Install new Internet router and bring up new upgrade service.

I am pleased to report that the system is back up and has never sounded better. Adding the SU-8 DAC was a great move, significantly improving audio performance. But the crap optical cable was holding it back. the new optical cable is a nice improvement. The Mogami interconnects are going to come in and sound better and better as well once they get some time on them. This was fun to do and I’m very happy with the result. :metal:t2:

Neat setup! :+1:

I miss the HT setup I used to have, have a smaller condo-style sized one atm with a soundbar/sub combo. I have big plans when we buy a house this year or next, or whenever it happens…can’t wait! :clapper: :popcorn:

Ordered mcdonalds on the phone but they put the wrong store so I ended up walking 2 miles for a cheeseburger

On the plus side, I had an epiphany and now I get the “missing” part of tuning for the Variations so it’s been pretty nice besides freezing my fingers off

I pulled out the TA-20 from spares today and swapped it with the Liquid Platinum. The LP has been workin hard so it deserves a rest. Besides, I really enjoyed listening to the TA-20 and I missed it. I was gonna put the PS Vains in, but I like the Mullards too much, so Mullards it is!

I’m listening to it right now. This is a sweet little hybrid HPA. I forgot how nice this guy sounds. Just enough tubular richness to enhance a sweetly resolving presentation. There is actually more tube influence on this amp than the LP, which I find interesting. Tubes being used are a consideration, as I have Gold Lions installed in the LP.

The bass is really nice on this amp as well. Not as tight and controlled as on the LP perhaps, but not loose and sloppy either. The level of resolution is pretty remarkable really. Overall an extremely fun and musical piece. I’ll just rotate the two whenever the mood strikes. Not sure why I waited this long!

Trying to get back into modding XCOM 2 and finishing a project way too long in the making.

I fell in love with that game back in the day…had it on floppies! I followed one fan-based project that was recreating it but lost touch with it over the years (due to many other hobbies and addicting games).

Yea in this case most of the time goes into doing other things finishing other games and then getting some random comment on the project and getting back on it :smiley:

Like I’ll need a break but that break ends up chaining into all kinds of stuff over months/years XD

Just finished up a super long google slideshow to help students practice for “special right triangles”. Added some buttons at the beginning that jump to the different sections.

Will they use it? I’m not sure.
Will they ask to go over it the material again in my own time if they bomb it? I’m certain.
