I SO badly want to try sushi, but my pallette is so fucked right now,  I don't know that my brain will accept it.

[MKader17 332]

Gah, I looooooooove sushi.

Yuck!

Finally got new shoes on the whip.

 

4 Years 11 months and 3 days.

66,129 miles

Price of tires went up $2.01 per tire.

Price to mount and balance was $80 compared to $40 (new state, new place)

Taxes in new place are 9.5% compared to 7.75%.

So overall a 4-5% cost up

 

Nice tire, I run those in the winter months on the 4runner.

Contemplating a new headphone amp. I have decided on the company, now I need to decide on the amp. Woo Audio is a US company that specializes in headphone amps. I have it narrowed down to the  WA3 or the WA6

 

I need a little advice.

 

WA3

 

WA6

 

The WA3 goes for $600, the WA6 for $700. I don't need preamp outs and I will not buy their upgraded tubes. I have my research down on the tubes and rectifiers for each amp.

 

The WA3 is a OLT design, or an output transformerless design. This has a tendency to be extremely linear. But it has the drawback of needing really high impedance drivers to provide beneficial damping factor for the transformerless output design. Basically, it is supposed to be one of the nicest amps to pair with the Senn HD600, 650, 700, 800, etc. Plus it is $100 cheaper than the WA6, which means for the same money I can roll more tubes.

 

BUT!!!

 

Low impedance drivers do not offer the damping factor required to make the OTL design work to it's potential. I have a few "bucket list" cans I want, and some do not fall into the high impedance driver category necessary to facilitate the WA3. The WA6 ticks all the boxes for the HD600s, and my "bucket list" cans. Not only that, but my Momentums will fall into the "wrong amp, fucktard" scenario if I grab the WA3.

 

I was thinking about giving my son my current amp, and I really don't want a crowd of headphone amps on my nightstand. I also don't want to wind up with several DACs, and interconnects to further crowd my headphone amp area. Along with my nightstand I now have a rack with DACs, external HDDs, Battery backup, server, Pio Elite DV45A SACD/DVD/CD player, and 2 CD/DVD burners (I am a closet burner and have some really kick ass external burners).

 

So do I buy the WA6 as a future proof deal, even though I may never buy another set of cans? Do I buy the WA3 as it is really THE design I want to go with my current HD600 cans, with the realization that I may be fucking myself in the future?

Is there a place to purchase from where you can test first in store, or that has a 30 day money back guaranteed policy? That may be your way to avoid fucking yourself in the future by ensuring it hits the mark for you.

Now it's guitars, cadillacs, hillbilly music
Lonely, lonely streets that I call home
Yea, my guitars, cadillacs, hillbilly music
It's the only thing that keep me hangin' on

The city is bombarded with road and utility work. Pretty ironic to think it is the European Youth capital this year and everything is a bloody construction site. 

 

The bicycle is the only reasonable means of transport to be honest.

Indeed.  And smoked is not cooked.

Android or IOS are WAY too limited for a car install IMO.

Speaking of, here is my "nowplaying" screen atm anyway.

 

There is one error you can see I am trying to track down.  Only affects one folder of random music so I had to use that as the test bed.

Horizontal slider is how far through the track and the vertical slider volume.

I cooked the living Fuck out of it.

The flavor is actually ok. The texture is industrial cardboard.

[nem 2,019]

IMO the only decent part of a salmon is the tail. We always cooked ours in foil with lemon and salt baked in the oven or on the grill.

Although I can't stand it any more because I ate so much growing up.

Anyone got any tips for hand exercises / therapy? Masturbating doesn't count.

 

In the morning my hands are like claws and I can't make a fist until I run them under hot water for a while, blame it on the climbing.

 

I'm going to try a rice bucket for now.

Masturbating might make it worse.You need stretching type exercises.

If you can sleep on your back try to put each hand under a butt cheek,so they can keep hour hands from curling up..This may be a bit awkward and a bit uncomfortable but it might help.

Belly >> rest.

 

Never cook fish in foil.  Doesn't cook long enough to need it.

Does anyone hace a fool-proof method for not giving a shit at work? As much as I tell myself that, I can't seem to overcome it. The people running the place don't give a damn, so why should I? Lead by example. They're basically telling me to mit give a damn.

Stretch them 3 seconds on off 4-5times a day.
