    Movies Worth Owning

    I confess to being a huge Jim jarmusch fan. One of my favourite movies of all time is Paterson. Adam Driver is Paterson a bus driver and poet in Paterson New Jersey. A little knowledge of William Carlos William's poetry, including his book length poem "Paterson" about the city is helpful but...

    One of my worst: Dances With Wolves https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099348/ And I was unable to watch more than 10 minutes of Saving Private Ryan.

    I don't like The Beatles, am I the only one?

    I rejected the early Beatles as a teen-ager, but embraced them with Revolver and Sgt. Pepper. Here is a lovely take on Lennon's music by Bill Frisell; https://www.billfrisell.com/silent-comedy

    Fosi v3 Mono - User Impressions | Owner's Thread

    I'm not a-Muse-d by the inclusion of only one opamp and one cable in my order for two amps. I would gladly trade my opamp for your XLR cable if you are in the greater Vancouver area. Recognizing that I am unlikely to find someone willing to make this swap and certain that I will not start...

    Problem With Eversolo A8 interface with Schiit Freya+

    I have the Eversolo A6 connected to my Freya S - essentially same as Freya +. Using the the Freya as preamp, you must select volume pass through on the Eversolo, so that the undiminished signal is fed to Freya and attenuated by the pre-amp volume control. When not using pass through, it would...

    I received my order yesterday - two V3 monos and two 48v/5a power supplies. They sent only one XLR cable and one opamp. Have others received pairs of cables and opamps with their order of two V3 Monos?

    Speakers with clay cabinets spotted

    Thought provoking: I played around with pottery making when I was younger and became quite fascinated with making and firing glazes and experimenting with mixing glaze materials into the clay, rather than merely using it as a surface application. I could imagine using molds and a slip process...

    Pre-Amp and DAC advice

    I have the Schiit Freya S (the Kara precursor) and Eversolo A6 combo with a Hypex Nilai stereo amp. I'm very pleased with the package. The Freya S is excellent in terms of audio performance, but has minor flaws - no front panel on/off switch, no trigger and lacks a rotary source selector...

    Hypex Nilai500DIY Amplifier Review

    No discernible pops from my DIY Nilai stereo. My speakers are reasonably sensitive, say 90 dB. I have usually been turning on the Nilai last, but , not in a premeditated way. - now I'll do it consciously.

    Streamers with screens

    I mostly use my phone or tablet to control my Eversolo DMP A6, but I like the album cover display and I'm very fond of my VU meter eye candy.
