I have been listening to a LOT of Steely Dan recently.

I'm moving away from AVRs for anything but my home theater in favor of some of the really nice two-channel gear from upstarts like Fosi Audio. I am actually a bit peeved with my AVR at the moment, because my pre-outs died off one at a time until I had to plug all my speakers directly into the...

That thing looks super slick. I love the dedicated transport buttons down the side.

Nice to see something new from them. I know he's been very busy with running Patreon.

With excellent amps like the Fosi V3 costing as little as they do, I see very little incentive to buy Class A/B amps anymore. I think a lot of the legacy manufacturers are going to be screwed if they can't adapt to a world where you can toss a WiiM Ultra in front of a pair of V3 monoblocks or...

Not that this in any way alters your point, but YouTube is Google, not Amazon. I personally pay the pound of flesh for Premium. We watch a lot of YouTube and mostly watch it on television via Roku, Android TV, or Fire TV. That makes using things like ad blockers impractical for us. It is not...

Nice way to celebrate. I'm not sure what makes you suck more, retiring or getting that killer display.

Well, obviously. That goes without saying. What do you think I am, some kind of savage?

I've been so slammed that it is still sitting in its box on my desk. The last month has REALLY sucked. My mother-in-law died after a 2.5 year battle with cancer. It was really hard on everyone involved in the weeks leading up to her passing and my wife is still struggling. Sondi lived near...

I put some on my table saw and you would not believe how much smoother the cuts are. It is amazing. I put some under the dishwasher too and my plates have never been cleaner. I did find putting them under the bed to be a little counter-productive though.

This bit of snake oil is so ridiculous that I have to share. I especially love the part where he discusses finding the right isolation feet for your particular component, shelf, flooring, etc. Remember, choosing the wrong feet can make your system sound worse. I can't make this shit up. Enjoy.

How do they compare to the Dynaudios?

That is so freaking cool.

I've been watching a lot of Cheap Audio Man lately. I'll have to check out some of these other guys.

Is that a double-blind test?

I haven't had a lot of problems with optical cables. I've only had a handful of failures and those were invariably my own fault. Other than that, I agree with his list. It was nice to see someone brutally appraise "audiophile" nonsense products.

Those are going to look dead sexy in your theater. I expect some serious audio porn when you get this set up.

My aren't you fancy. :)

That is a great looking paint job.

I will let you know when I get it hooked up. I've been laid up with the flu for a few days, so I haven't done anything with it. I might do a quick hook-up in my office just to play around, because it will likely be a few weeks before I get the speakers built. I've got some work to do in the shop...
