  1. Watched Drive My Car coming home from Dublin. Fantastic movie. I’m sure so much is lost in translation but it’s still a great film.
  2. I try to sync up Craig Way with the LHN telecast. If it doesn’t work, I watch it on mute like I did last night. Sam Acho is the lesser annoying of the two Achos but he’s still an Acho. He’s taken note of his brothers schtick is and crafting his own. Up next are bombastic, thoughtless takes and Star Trek wardrobe.
  3. Jet lagged in Dublin. Ready to watch this game tonight.
  4. I’ll be in Ireland during the Texas Bama game and want to be able to watch it. NordVPN and Hulu? I’m sure I can track down a link to watch a stream but I’d rather have something I trust. Thanks.
  5. This match is insane and it’s just the first set.
  6. Serious question - do players usually wear the same outfit every match they play. I guess I noticed Kyrgios wearing the same thing at Wimbledon. But I thought Serena would have a rotating ensemble.
  7. Yeah, when Serena goes up against someone that can get a first serve in, she might be in trouble unless her serve is cranking. That whole match was pretty disappointing tennis with a couple of exceptions.
  8. I can’t stand that 40 acres landlord account.
  9. Alright, I’ve been on Tidal for a week and it makes a difference on the stereo and headphones (obviously). So if I was going to add a DAC, around $250, what are some good options? Opinions on Schiit? Cambridge Audio? My latest speaker obsession is Wharfedale Linton. https://www.wharfedale.co.uk/linton-heritage/ https://upscaleaudio.com/products/wharfdale-linton-bookshelf-loudspeaker-pair
  10. Ok, I missed the “each” part of that. Jeesuussss. Yeah I don’t think I’ll be getting into those. I think I’ll go the DAC and Tidal route and see how much more that will yield.
  11. Yeah I was initially asking if a DAC would help the quality in my setup which is streaming Spotify. I’m sure that’s where I’d see the most marked improvement (moving away from streaming) but if I wanted to stay streaming what else could I improve upon? Better speakers? A better DAC? Going down the rabbit hole late last night, I found JBL L100 speakers and I think those things are so sexy looking.
  12. I have a Marantz 2252B with B&W DM602 s3 speakers. I have a cheap DAC from Amazon ~$20 that has an optical out that I run into an older Apple TV so I can stream music to the Marantz. Would a better DAC give me more depth or better soundstage? I know streaming from Spotify is a crime, but where else could I improve to give my music a little more depth and clarity? thanks.
