  1. What did I miss? Did he get Luigi’d?
  2. I saw the Master when it first came out in the theaters. I liked it a lot. But over the years I’ve revisited it and it’s highly rewatchable. Some amazing performances and moments in there, obviously led by Hoffman and Phoenix.
  3. Ordered a NAD C 3050 amp and a Wiim Pro Plus streamer. I wanted to do a side by side test with the marantz. Good lord, even with the speaker cracking and cutting out at low levels, the Marantz mops the floor with the NAD. The streamer/dac has made a huge difference though - I’d previously been streaming thru an old Apple TV that had an optical out and used a basic dac from Amazon to get the signal to the marantz. Next up I think I might try to audition some new speakers and see the difference. But the NAD is going back for sure.
  4. Just finished Adolescence. The last episode is so intense. Incredible performance by the parents but especially Stephen Graham. I just assumed that it wasn’t really one take but seamless digital takes stitched together. It’s really impressive. Here’s a link of bts and how they shot each one. Spoilers obviously.
  5. Maybe he doesn’t want to work on it, he deals in higher end stuff. He basically said that the volume control power source is in rough shape and they don’t make them anymore. And that it’s a matter of time before it just goes out and can’t get the parts to repair it. I’m taking it for a second opinion elsewhere. I’ll never sell it, but now I have the itch to upgrade my system. I have a friend who works for Sound United and could get me a new marantz at a discount. I just am not a fan of how the new ones look.
  6. My Marantz 2252b is slowly dying and a stereo tech advised against pouring too much $ into it. So now I’m looking at new integrated amp and speakers. I like a warm sound, rather than neutral, something that also does well at lower volumes. Marantz 30 or 50, advance Paris a10 (I haven’t heard but sounds intriguing), maybe Yamaha? Speakers that interest me kef r3, wharfedale linton. Anyone got a system they really love? Opinions on the pieces above?
  7. I have to say, I thought season 2 was really good, not on the masterpiece scale of season 1. I’m sure it’s crazy trying to write another follow up season to a hit show in this age of immediate internet dissection and discussion. The marching band scene felt like they saw how much people loved Milchicks music dance experience and said let’s do that again but on steroids. Great show, people are going to be worked up into quite a lather for the season 3 drop.
  8. Beau is afraid.
  9. What a battle.
  10. Any options for watching the women’s final here in a few minutes? Besides tennis channel.
  11. Ooof. Those are dark last days in that house, for all involved. Including the dog.
