Storm Trooper for childrens birthdays. It's far more lucrative in Canada.

I thought you cosplayed as a storm trooper playing with the Death Star console.

I take public transit and have no kids, that helps.

Except when you are playing with your phone and wreck the car in front of you and have to have emergency face surgery on your birthday.

Me too. When does the Canadian government start giving me money?
Mather

Have you seen our taxes? They don't give us money, we pay for that shit. 30+% income tax and 15% sales tax yo.

Unclear, will I or won't I be receiving weekly satchels of toonies from Trudeau?
EDIT: Also, Maine is further north than Toronto so I am more Canadian than you are.

Man 40%+ income tax, a random 4% recession income tax that’s still there 10 years after we came out of the recession, a pension contribution tax and 23% VAT, and we get none of that shit…

Sorry I’ve had enough booze to openly moan but not enough to have a buzz…

Decware update…. After ordering on 12/27/22, I’m up to about #1200 on the list. I think when I started I was at about #2300.. seems like it’s tracking to early/mid next year maybe. I’m in there for a Torii MKV but have thought at varying times about switching to both a Sara or a Mystery amp… totally different and may depend on what speakers I have once it’s ready.
Gives me plenty of time to enjoy the current setup which has been so much fun to get to know.

Yeah, well, we in America bitch about our taxes more! And at least one political party claims they’re, like, bigly huge!

I hear you on Decware. I’m a couple of months behind you. I’m using you as opposed to watching the list.Decware update…. After ordering on 12/27/22, I’m up to about #1200 on the list.

I really like it. It seams very neutral and open, so this may be a contradiction in calling it neutral, but it sounds “bigger” and more forward than the 20/20. It also seems to have a bit better imaging specificity. Though the XP-17 isn’t as “black” and silent as the 20/20.
Side note, Sutherland is an awesome company! When I was ordering the replacement box Ron asked if I needed a new manual and verified I had the current MADEWELL power supplies. The man’s meticulous with his products and making sure his end users are happy.

If it helps, I’m sending my JMW-10 Memorial tonearm to Steve at VAS on Monday to get rewired and then having Steve send it Upscale to have them fit a Grado Timbre Reference 3 low output on it.
So cables and gear. Feel better?

Yes dammit.
Here I am, at home recovering from near fatal minor sinus surgery.
(Ed. Note: not near fatal)
Ahem... NEAR FATAL sinus surgery... and it's all I can do to get up the strength to clean records and look at cables and type stuff and here I am being ATTACKED for being Canadian or paying taxes or something... I've lost track sorry what was the question?

The Insight was the first piece of equipment that blew me away… it was such a huge leap from the *Vincent I had been running. It really started this whole crazy upgrade train I’ve been on. Great product.
