The Lounge 0001 [From the Beginning]

yep. my uncles wife has spent most of her adult life getting her doctorate and considers herself higher than other people because of it. Has walked into our house and demanded that we clean because it wasnt up to her standards

damn what a bitch, Isn’t very many people I hate more than the self righteous. should just tell her if she doesn’t like she should just leave.

i pretty much told her to go fuck herself after she did that

Who even has the time to keep anything that clean. I somehow doubt she’s much better though and just likes to act all high and mighty.

I have an uncle who it’s not uncommon to see kill a moth, then proceed to eat it. He’s a great guy.

hmm, this should be good.

But if a GNU wizard does it it’s okay…

I kinda feel like I’m turning into Aremis when it comes to audio gear. Anything hi-fi system sized with USB and Bluetooth is “too new” and “not as good as back in the days”.
I feel weird…

Video actually wasn’t as bad as I expected it might be and had some interesting points.

Nah, that only counts for actual audio gear, not the source.
DAC + Amp + Headphones + a pair of stereo speakers is all I need. No weird Dolby Surround Fucktard 69.1, no wireless, no bluetooth, no gimmicky crap. Just the bare necessities with good quality.

Oh, and a few audio crystals.

edit: and I know where I’ll never go for advise…$1200 for an entry-level vinyl setup. Fuck that.
Their “high-end” suggestion is $20K…

I don’t care about all the USB and all that.
The only super useful thing to have is Digital audio input because the clean sound that those have is unparalleled. As it uses a laser lol vs the usual electric cables.

Beyond that I mostly ignore tube amps unless I’m going for a rock or metal sound because you cant beat a tube amp for rock music.
For anything else tho its hit or miss.

So I generally recommend a moderately new amp/reciever that has a digital input and the rest is optional as long as the thing does good, clean audio.

Also because most modern (useful) audio sources are digital.
I’d prefer Coax fiber but for now I’ll test my new DAC/Amp with the USB.

Can go old too. Amps haven’t improved that much over the years generally. Can find an old used amp and a pair of old speakers and you’re set for a while.
New doesn’t automatically mean better. Like used, “broken-in” headphones vs new ones.
