I solved my toilet paper problems… All it took was a pandemic! I bought a bidet toilet seat. This thing uses technology to wipe and dry your ass. It even has a carbon filter to tame your stank. 😂

I got the same one as zeos of z-reviews on YouTube. If your interested I would suggest you take a look. He goes over all the features and shows how easy it is to install.

I have never tried a bidet but I have been thinking about one for about a year now… I like the idea of a shower clean butt… 🚿😬 I might put an update here once I give it a spin but if you can’t find toilet paper in the end times… A bidet might be your salvation.

Got this record by Power Glove… It’s a glow in the dark limited edition… It’s worth over $100 on discog! Which is way more then I paid!

On top of that it’s pretty good! I do notice that it’s not a quiet as black vinyl but it’s not that bad.

I joined because I wanted a fun way to grow my collection and try new bands. They look at your discogs, last.fm activity and Spotify… Unfortunately I don’t really do Spotify but I have Tidal and Qobuz updating Last.fm so they know my odd taste

I deleted Facebook and Twitter. I stopped using them after the fiasco but didn’t delete it. I totally unhooked myself from its fake news and time sink. Glad I did and I recommend everyone do it to.

It doesn’t smoke and the reels spin but the transport logic is totally messed up. I think the 30+ year old electrolytic capacitors are the problem. I also got the tape path modification from BottleHead which should bring it in line with higher end pro units. It’s going to be a learning experience because this sucker is fiendishly complected. If I get over my head I will take it to Skyfi and have them rebuild it. Below is a picture of one… it’s dead sexy, and mine has one up on this one… I have the wood sides… they don’t make them like they used to thats for sure!

She’s a big girl probably around 70 or 80 lbs! I was looking to get a Pioneer RT-909 but this baby became available at somewhat of a reasonable price so I jumped on it.

I haven’t started working yet because I have been studying the schematics and the exploded diagrams to get a feel how to even dig in to this thing. I don’t want to cause any harm as some of the parts are unobtainium. I also don’t want to mess with the heads as it looks difficult to get them aligned.

Apart from audio things have been about the same as usual. I have been busy at work and home. I spend my weekends between Frenchtown and LIC. I have a vacation planed for Europe this year! Its the first real vacation in well over 10 years for me. Thats about it for now… I’ll be back once I have time.

Spending time listening to the KEF Q150’s and the first word to come to mind is impressive! It punches above its weight class.

This speaker is passive but has the same basics Uni-Q driver design as the LS50’s or the bad ass Blade.

Been throwing music from Yosi Horikawa at them, I actually had to pause because things sounded to real. I had to check if it was outside or the music.

For the size the bass is impressive, a bit boomy but I have them quite close to the wall. I plugged the bass port and t it went away.

I will put more time on them then do a proper review.

Lost my wallet in Sunnyside Queens last night. Decided to go out for some cheese cake at Paris Baguette and it dropped out on the way home getting into the car. I canceled all my cards but need to get a new license tomorrow morning. What a pain in the ass! On the bright side the cake was good.

I’m writing this on my Black Friday Love Sac bean bag chair! It’s very comfortable but not exactly perfect for what I wanted it for… Playing games and watching TV… It doesn’t have enough back support. Would be perfect if the TV was mounted on the ceiling tho. I recommend them in a room where you plan to chill out.. Not a TV room. Could be a weigh issue to. I will have my girl test it out when she is over and see if it’s better for significantly lighter people.

Got myself a pair of Tin Audio T3’s in ear monitors from Aliexpress. Holy shit they are good for the money. Build quality is exceptional and gives a very high end feel. The sound is the best I have ever heard from an in ear headphone. It’s got two dynamic drivers A 6mm and a 10mm, detachable wire with a mcxx connector. They wire is a beautiful silver and gold braid… And very thick. Only complant would be the wire length could be a touch longer. But it’s totally usable. If your looking for some new in ear monitors, you owe it to yourself to give the T3’s a try! Your not going find something as good as them for less. Oh… Forgot to mention, no plastic! All aluminum and super light!

I’m finally down to one car. It was not as hard as I thought and I am glad to have it gone. It had a bit of bad karma for me and it’s good to get it out of my life. I’m also not so much into cars anymore so no sense in keeping it. I think it will be my last expensive car, I don’t see myself getting anything crazy in the future. I might get the next Golf R so I can have the last gasoline version of an icon… but after that…

I have been getting back into audio and hopefully ham radio again once I get more settled in my new normal. Not much else new to report on at the moment… the car was the big news for me.

Wow… This software is amazing… If your into your music it’s a must have. One word of warning tho… It’s not cheap! Roon connects to Qobuz and Tidal for hi res streaming and all my FLAC files on the NAS. It’s discovery and meta data are excellent! Setup was dead simple… And it even runs under Linux if you want… Which I am doing BTW!

Well today I had to make the decision to put Bentley to sleep. He got really bad last night and wasn’t able to walk an didn’t want to eat or drink. The house feels different… Before I was never alone and always had Bentley happy to see me. Now it’s just quiet and empty.

I am going to take a break from pet ownership for a while. Don’t think I can deal with this again anytime soon.

He was a great dog and I will miss him.
