Some friends just gave me a Rosetta Star Projector for the stereo room. OMG, I love this thing!

Don’t harsh my mellow, man!

Seriously, you are of course correct, but that would have delayed the wifey ROI argument perhaps to an unsuccessful conclusion. Of course, now with what used to be roasted $12 for full pound being $15 roasted for 12 oz, it kinda cancels back.

I really love the ability to really nail the roast profile to the coffees I prefer (Costa Rican, Guatemalan mostly…)

No worries. Lets keep it between you and me. No one else needs to know.

Damn now I want to find a planetary version for Dark Side of the Moon and Holst's Planets like at the planetarium as a kid...

Beautiful! But I want a clear shot of your gear now!

It sounded like it needed some more break-in, so I'll be giving it some more time before proceeding and give it a fair chance. Meanwhile, enjoying a Lansdale Frankie. Ye olde battle of the cheap inexpensive tubes.

Oddly, that just LOOKS like it sounds good…

Lol! I'm surprised that you know who hasn't yet commented that I have wine in a bottle instead of a box. He's probably taking his before-dinner nap.

Doesn’t the cardboard box help the flavour, though? And oddly, there was a well-respected wine writer who recommended a box wine several years ago. I can’t recall their name, and since they haven’t been heard from since, well, you understand, I’m sure…

Umm, I'm going to have to vacuum and dust first...

Here's a shot of my speakers until then? My Virgo 2's that I've had since 1997.

Unless I have a severe cold or flu and I have taken meds I never nap lol.**** Now I might sleep 8-9 hours a night so I am quite rested during the day.

**** That's Finnegan's responsibility .

The only times I have brushed up against Sauterenes is while drinking whiskies (American and Scottish) that have graced the inside of an empty Sauternes cask for a time. They were delicious! Makes me and my sweet tooth wanna try the wine.

Call me warpped, but I can never hear the phrase "Try the wine” without thinking of

for $12.99/mo - $155.88/year, Qobuz grants me...

Qobuz also offers an annual subscription at $129.99/year (equivalent to $10.83/month).

A few decades into the last century I had two friends; we hung out together. We came up with one-word nicknames for each of us. Jan, a vegan, was "Veg", Nancy was "Oops", and I was "Nap".

Has anyone seen my melatonin?

A favorite movie of mine.

Goes double for cheap Pinot Grigio...

Amarone and Barolo are my preferences, wife likes sweet Kabinetts - we both like Sauternes and LBV Port - but the diet is crimping the frequency of enjoyment....

Amarone is wifey’s absolut favorite… do you know of Ripasso style? I call it poor man’s Amarone…

Pretty much any Italian red of quality is awesome in our book.

You are such a temptress, as a Schiit salesman. Lol! The Yggy! Have been digital for a while now. No streaming as of yet. Ticks me off, monthly subscriptions. I hear the difference of a 16 bit CD and a 24 bit hi res track for sure, but I have never used a DAC to listen to anything....
PS. Is the Bowmoreman a scotch reference? My father in law loved it, if that what it refers to.

Yep. My first favorite Islay. Been my online handle for at least 25 year now.

Yeah I hate the idea of not “owning” my library as it were as well, but now that i know it has potential to sound good… I’m gonna give it a go

This is a favorite that I gifted Jason along with a floating wine board.

“This unique Red Blend is partially blended with dried grapes, a technique known as Appassimento. This allows for a more concentrated flavor from the grapes.
This spicy red has ripe red fruits and pepper overtones with a dark ruby color.”
