High End Grade Neo dampers for the Neo Rich!!??

 

[bcowen]

That's a great deal! High End Grade! Neo dampers are so neo-fancy, But, I'm not nearly neo enough to appreciate them.

I no longer use mere wall socket AC power for my gear. My listening station is powered solely by Brownian Motion generation. I listen very quietly.

Don't discount your neo-ness so quickly. Many are unaware that the amount of torque on the center screw can make a night and day difference. An inch-pound (or newton-meter for our metric friends) one way or the other can be like the difference between a GE and a GEC. Heard this from a friend.

RIP Peter Schickele. They don’t make ‘em like “Pervertimento for Bagpipes, Bicycle and Balloons” anymore.

I've only had the 23. Fortunately, I wasn't paying for it.

Oh man, that's so sad. I attended a couple of his PDQ Bach performances in the early 90s, and the man was a riot! I need to put on one of his albums tonight. He was also a serious composer in addition to his PDQ Bach stuff.

The screw needs to be made from a non-conductive polymer.

My Ohm Stereo Demonstration record has a couple of his pieces.

I think I was lucky enough to see him live many years ago.

Wow, I did not know he wrote the music for Silent Running (great film!)

He made a brief foray into cinema with the Bruce Dern film Silent Running (1972), for which he composed the musical score and co-wrote the original songs "Silent Running" and "Rejoice in the Sun" with Diane Lampert.

Whatever happened to the Orchestral Sports League? I blame the officiating.

So much for a Plankton-free zone.

We did three(?) pages ... so that's a start

While we are talking bagpipes, who here has heard Dragonforce's "Through the Fire and the Flames" quite like this before today?

I've heard some crazy covers of it with the piano, flute, etc... that were good, but this is pretty bad arse...

I've not used Soundiiz, but some folks claim it's useful for such pursuits: https://soundiiz.com/features

Soundiiz worked perfectly moving my playlists and favorites from Tidal to Qobuz.
Qobuz actually offers Soundiiz as a service now, at least with my Qobuz Studio subscription.

R5 meta = $1999 EACH = $3998/pr

Oh, d'oh.... EACH. Sorry about that. I thought it was kinda weird that the 3s were more expensive than the 5s... yeesh.

Need some help, my left channel tyr just died when I was switching cable, anyone knows what’s wrong?
The speaker that is connected to it plays really quiet and there is a lot of distortion when I change the volume.

@Jason Stoddard if you can help that will be really appreciated

You didn't change cables when the amp was powered-up, right? Not in standby, powered off, heck - I even pull the power plug... but that's just me.
Weird that it would happen on a cable change, makes me question the cable(s)?

@dstrimbu my apologies for increasing the post AND page count, just trying to help a fellow Schiitizen with troubleshooting...

No problem, my friend... I am experiencing a three hour delay LHR-BRU today, so I'm sitting in the lounge in Terminal 2, catching up.... almost there!

Never hold back when an opportunity to troubleshoot looms! <g>
