Mallette Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 For a person who has not left my yard in 12 days that is a very wonderful fantasy. With the exception of the Speedo comment, which made me gag, it's everything I hope for when we meet again in a brave new world. It is going to be different but most of us will be the same. Laws of physics won't have changed and neither will our loudspeakers. Dave 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssh Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Pete, The box of Rare Air was a gift from Scott's wife Paula to me after he died. He & I bought cigars together, and that was part of his last order. I told her that he'd want them shared at the Pilgrimage he missed. I thought I told everyone that they were a gift from him; it was an oversite if I didn't tell you. They were a limited production and we got some of the last. I think I got 3 or 4 boxes, but if I have any left, they are hiding in my walk-in humidor along with some other gems. I will, however, bring some tasty ones to the gathering.

Seadog Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 FWIW, 18 days ago I was nearly done ripping my CDs to FLAC files for my Raspberry Pi DAC project that I was planning to bring. Took me several weeks to rip around 1400 CDs (lost exact count), but I finished just before we were thwarted by the Wuhan virus! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 I'd be leaving the day after tomorrow. I had bought moving blankets and straps in anticipation of bringing speakers also had a few choice bottles set aside. I hope they make it to September 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few is 3-4, whatcha bringing? I don't want to bring any of the same bourbon, variety is...…..

Took me several weeks to rip around 1400 CDs (lost exact count), but I finished just before we were thwarted by the Wuhan virus! No worries. I've enjoyed my FLAC collection every day since I finished ripping the CDs/DVDs in 2014. Having all my music on external HD has been a real treat. Of course, in Jan 2015 I started my demastering task (which I thought I'd complete before the end of the year...boy, was I off on that estimate.) I'm still demastering, but enjoying every minute of it...especially listening to the results. I consider that most of my gain in improving (two channel) sound from my setup is via demastering--not so much the other stuff--although it certainly has helped me greatly in my other "audio reproduction enhancement activities".
