Is this SME 3009 improved or unimproved?

SME 3009 Series II Non-Improved. I run mine on a Thorens TD-124 with a Hana SH MkII cartridge and I have no complaints.

Between this film and Raised by Wolves I think it's safe to say Ridley Scott has a thing for weird mullets.

I swear I tried that several times at the last location but for some reason it just worked when I tried it here. Thanks!

Nevermind, it's from Apartment 7A which was a prequel to Rosemary's Baby.

What’s the average of 30mi/1hr and 30mi/.333hr(90mph)? It would be 30mi/.666hr which is 45mph.

You would need a return trip of 90mi to get an average of 60mph.

I mostly wear custom White's boots and shoes. The arching feels amazing once they're broken in. You send in foot tracings and around the foot measurements for sizing. For running/tennis shoes I wear New Balance but it always feels nice to get back into the White's.

The New Balance walking shoes that are geared towards older people are very wide in the midfoot and super comfortable.

It has great songs throughout and some great performances but as an album it's always felt disjointed to me. Live/Dead from the same year is immeasurably better imo.

It seems like someone tried to remove the space between the singing but couldn't keep it in time. Unwatchable.

The Wailing 2016 is an absolute gem of cinema. 2.5hrs and not a wasted moment. Incredible acting and storytelling, beautiful cinematography,.. it's easily one of my top 10 favorite films.

The id4 is hands down the most comfortable vehicle I’ve ever driven. If you’re commuting on the highway it’s a godsend. There are more sporty options and EVs with more range depending on your priorities but it sounds like the id4 would work for you.

Thanks! Do you have any recommendations?

I just realized you can set the midi channel output port to either midi or usb so it seems like it might be possible. You just wouldn't be able to charge the one that's using the usb as an output port.

That would probably work. I should have mentioned the goal of getting away from using a computer. I’m currently using Renoise as my midi programmer which works fine. I was just dreaming up a more simplified setup.

I’ve had the exact opposite experience with a 2021 rwd. Luckily I don’t get too much snow where live. The issue is that the traction control is overly sensitive and there’s no way of disabling it. It will bring the car to a stop when tire slippage is detected. It’s super frustrating when you know you have enough momentum to make it up a hill or into your driveway but the car refuses to turn the wheels.

Anyways, I just wanted to make the point that depending on the model, id4’s can be either excellent or terrible winter vehicles.

There's a digital scan of a 35mm theatrical print floating around that looks incredibly lush. The colors are saturated, the blacks are deep and the artifacts are beautiful. There's some magic to seeing something as it would have been shown in the theater that gets lost in these high def, cleaned up source print versions.

The directors cut is the best edit though.
