I do have thick skin and selective hearing.
All of my siblings are the same way, we tended to find someone we could grow old with, six of us, no divorces in the family. My wife’s side is another matter.🤪

Back to work for me, I need to clean up my shop for a visit later. A local artist and I tend to trade our works. I am also accepting some exotic tomato plants she cultivates.

Regarding marriage, say mine ... 42 years .... may be because I do not drink (I cannot because my liver will over-react), I do not gamble because I never have such luck, I do flirt with other female even when my wife is present, but she knew that I will not betray her and all is for fun, she never stop me buying new audio gear because I never buy expensive things, most expenses goes to my daughter's education.

Well, no two human walk in same pace at different stage of age, if she is a bit faster, I will try to catch up, if I am faster, I will slow down... when we get married, that day we kneel down and offer a cup of tea to our parents (Chinese tradition), I still remember what my mother said "Son, do not abuse the girl of your parents in law, my daughter in law, do not abuse my son, love each another".

It is coming along, I am going to see what I can do about custom interconnect cables out of courtesy. @Orange5o has several of my works so I shall try for cables of just the right length.
Speaking of which, has anyone used a Magni Piety (or any Magni) as a preamp to a Vali (or other head amp)? Trying to decide if I should run a y split from the Loki to each amp or run through the Piety to the Vali 3...

Ooooohhh.....cool. Can you make me a pair that are 177.80774 millimeters long with a +0, - .00003 mm tolerance? That would be perfect, and no real need to have a tighter tolerance than that. 🤣

Cloudy with rain and T-Storms on the way. Chilling a bit before the wife and I head out to get an early start on Cinco de Mayo.

I love Schiity weekends!

Don't say 'yech' until you listen for a while (on Qobuz). Kuniko is an out-of-this-world percussionist. Great test for your gear's dynamics/attack/decay.

Added to my library -- thanks.
One benefit that I realized from going to Roon was that it interfaces with the Sonos soundbars/subs on our TVs. So now it's easy to have music in the house despite not having any 2-chan systems. The SQ is well, you know, but ambient jazz is acceptable for cocktail parties. :)

Of course I can make them but I no longer ship to Oklahoma, so there is that.🤪 And you like green cables, I am not working my way through a Pantone color chart trying to please you again.🙀
