"The experience of listening to the LP1 is a unique one. It is, at once, intimate and expansive—as if being transported to a space that belongs to just the listener and the music as they merge with one another. With no electrical artifice to impede communication, a greater understanding of the music is immediately possible. Thus enabled, the listener can enjoy each and every musical element locked in the LP’s grooves with newfound depth, profundity and insight."

This is incredible writing. Never before have I felt the urge to vomit so strongly after reading something.

couldn't find appropriate goth gf picture to post here.  

I love micotransactions, who's with me?

Show some love for the big C

I find the irony in using Tool's music in a presumably anti-capitalist parody video delectable, given that Maynard's net worth is somewhere around $60M.

Style is totally up my alley: functional, simple, slightly militarist (but not intentionally so, it seems, but in fact it's intentional). But I don't like the price tag, lol. I wonder why it's not the standard look for clothing. Is it so hard NOT to put some silly print on a jacket?

I bought a coin pouch recently - best $10 I ever spent.  Sure, my pockets can hold change, but why not spoil myself a little?  I'm sure it's held far more than $10 in change by now.  Imagine holding $1000 in a coin pouch that only cost you 10?  Yowza!

People do it every day in Final Fantasy.

A goddamn home.

FYI, this house right here costs something between 1-2 million USD. In other words, it's un-fucking-attainable to me

But think of all the coin pouches you could buy with that same money.

these things or some variation on all these things. or maybe just an RV for driving around and working on a laptop wherever i want. 

Nice SSL board

it's their stripped down project studio mixer. can load it w/500 series modules. has a handful of sends, bus compressor, direct outs, no  automation or anything. would make a nice thing for tracking since it's got transparent circuitry and super nice freq range. like flat to 3hz or something. no color but what is added somewhere else which i like. if dreaming it'd be a nice thing but honestly the mackie i have works just fine. 

if i could post a photo of being independently wealthy and retired from a day job i'd post that.

I've been thinking of doing a (relatively) budget version of this with either a 2nd hand x-desk or midas venice as the console, and a lunchbox of diy 500 modules.  Have you ever come across an E27 diy clone?  One of the things that's stopping me is that for the straightforward diy modules what is out there is quite limited to the classics i.e. API , Neve, Pultec etc whereas a lot of the interesting stuff in 500 format is non-diy and I can't justify £1,500 quid on a mono eq.  I also got knocked back on a reasonable offer for midas 240 last week, which is making me think again.

X desk would be a good way to go because it's expandable. they're small, sound good etc. only a couple sends though. there's various older/new mid range mixers out there from soundcraft and allen/heath that are pretty good. i can't obsess about the differences in that range of mixers though. just find the oe that stays out of the way, sonically..  my patch bay is the thing i'd really love to replace w/a proper TT bay and new cabling but that would cost thousands. 

i don't do DIY. i'm awful at anythign that requires a soldering iron. i just make a fucking mess. last time i tried to do something w/a soldering iron was put a new screen in my DX11... i took a pic of it and posted it on IG and a friend texted me saying "STOP. just bring your shit over and i'll do it". he has a modular company and knows how to do all that obviously and has the right tools for that shit. so i haven't looked at any diy. 

some pro audio brands really have a niche. if you look at the frequency specs of all the gear you'll see why certain things are known for being "the best thing to use on rock drum kit snare" or whatever the fuck. the avedis stuff is wide open. i probably make more of that than it is. but i used to have a couple avalon DIs and they also are flat down to like 2hz or something and have a wide open top end so on a drum machine that's bumping they just sound amazing. everything sounded so good.  ideally some API eqs and avedis eqs wold make a nice rack. but i don't even use the eq much on my mackie except for the hi pass filter here and there. it's mostly just for tracking and lately i've only used it when monitoring and then i patch directly into the AD converters. shrug.  a mixer, currently, is just a convenience when writing stuff then when i'm ready to record i do something different. it's weird. but it's what i've done lately. i guess that'll change when i use things differently again and integrate w/more gear/modular/fx etc. in a big patch bay mess being controlled by Max or something. need to build those max patches though.

if the RonaDemic lasts long enough maybe i'll have time. derp.

as for more capitalist bootlicker robreport type fantasy... i'd love to swim in the backyard.

Paired with what speakers?

Avantgarde Acoustic is the given companion to McIntosh gear during a mid life crisis. A pair of Duo Primo XD is just shy of €80 000.
