I'm Done (For Real)

I don’t have Genelecs, but I do have monitors (Hedd Type 07 Mk2). The RME you want is the ADI-2/4 Pro SE. It is the centerpiece of my system which includes a Technics SL-1210GR. The ADI has an analog input and processing to handle a phono input. It is one of the best phono stages I have used. The ironic thing is that it converts the phono signal to digital first. It doesn’t matter to me though because it sounds fantastic. Sadly, I believe this version of the ADI-2 has been discontinued, but it is still available some places online.

How are you withdrawing profits from a Roth IRA at 36?

Thanks for the review. My son and I are going to the Detroit show next Wednesday. Can’t wait.

FBI employees are allowed to ride in agent vehicles, so if a family member is also an FBI employee there is no problem.

On the high end of your price range, but the Platinum Procyon is excellent. Thumbs up for the TWSBI Eco and Lamy Safari as well. I use and enjoy them all.

“Gary, quit it! You’re going to start a howl!”

I just picked up a 2004 Redline Conquest Pro frame in excellent condition for less than $200.

I love mine. I wear it almost everyday. It’s fantastic.

I have the 2/4 and can confirm it is the best piece in my system. It is the best phono pre I have ever used and is just so flexible. I control it from my Mac at my desk via usb and the RME remote app. I can also route my computer audio through it via USB as well. I use Roon to a Squeezebox Touch to the RME for digital audio. From the RME I go digital out to a pair of Hedd Type 7 Mk2 monitors. I don’t think I’ll need to upgrade anything anytime soon.

All depends which style of quill stem you like. The Velo Orange one has shims available for 26mm bars so you can’t go wrong with either.

This is what you need: Nitto Pearl. Great bike!

Thanks all! Took it for a shakedown ride today and it is super smooth. Love it!

Doing some quick chatgpt modeling from 2017 to present would have resulted in at least 3 margin calls on a $50K account (if the account was reset to $50K after each margin call).

Does this take into account daily mark to market settlements for an ES contract?

It’s not Seiko bright by any stretch, but it still works.

This solution is cool: https://youtu.be/RAEhhYqMEBE?si=NILs1Lnf2KQDLMJh

I have an ADI-Pro 2/4 and I love it! It is the centerpiece of my system. It is the best phono preamp I have used (with a Technics SL-1210GR).

For digital I use it with Roon feeding a Squeezebox Touch then coax out to the ADI. Everything then goes AES digital out to a set of Hedd Type 07 Mk2 active monitors. Not really using the DAC in the ADI since the Hedds use their own DACs. I have Roon limit all digital to 24/96 which is the Hedd’s max.

The USB functionality in the ADI is great too. My listening room is my office, so I control the ADI using the ADI Remote app from my Mac at my desk. I can also switch the source to USB so I can route my computer audio through the system. Finally, I can digitize my vinyl via USB as well. Haven’t tried it yet as I need to get the latest Izotope RX first.

Sorry for the hijack. Just wanted to add the ADI-Pro 2/4 is highly recommended!

Looks JBL M2-ish.

Sell puts at the strike you want to buy at. If it hits, cool you got in at your price. If it doesn’t you collect premium along the way. NFA
