hifi

first up is this system with Vimberg speakers, Metronome DAC/streamer, Vinnie Rossi hybrid tube/solid-state amps and preamp. $120k+ USD total.

pretty meh, nothing special. had some weird colouration, tonality didn’t sound right to me. honestly if I were an outsider to the industry and walked in, I’d never guess this was worth the same $$ as a really nice car.

Fitness

All the folks posting about how much they exercise got me excited to hit the gym. Today's workout: 

Installing a woodchip path.

First up was a grape hoe warmup. About 1.5 hours of methodically chopping the grass out for the path really gets the shoulders and core warmed up.

It's a really good day for me on Farcaster when I get to read both a hifi thread from @matthewb AND a backyard-project thread from @trigs. 

My favorite way to learn is to just listen to smart people talk about what they enjoy, and take notes.

very happy that I could make your day better, Danica! 💜

I don’t always muster up the time to write these chunky threads but it brings me joy to know they make others days better.
