Title: New Mainline
Post by: oguinn on June 01, 2020, 05:09:20 PM: Wrapped â€˜er up a little bit ago and am getting some early tests in before bed. Sounds great so far! Need to find it a home in my office.

I know we've seen photos of all your BH gear, but how about lining 'em all up for a family portrait?

Best,

Joe.

Hereâ€™s the whole gang (minus the Crack on my desktop). Left to right, itâ€™s: Eros 2 (second shelf below the Schiit Sol and Bifrost), Stereomour II (second row), BeePre, Kaiju, Mainline (floor), SEX (second row).

What can I say? I'm a fan, and I had that dual income no kids lifestyle going on. No more of that, though.

The limitations on my setup right now are the room and my headphones. Once I get those squared away we can talk about MonAmours.

Post by: Doc B. on June 02, 2020, 06:39:52 AM: I used to envy DINKs as we were pretty poor before we had kids and only pulled up our income once we started making babies. Now that we are DICKs (Dual Income, Completed Kids) I am starting to enjoy a bit of that lifestyle. But I wouldn't have traded it for having the experience of my awesome kids (who both have their shit waaay more together than mom and dad did at that age). You'll get there again when the nest empties and have a heluva lot of fun in between.

Post by: oguinn on June 02, 2020, 06:43:53 AM: Oh yeah, for sure. I appreciate getting perspectives from people who have done it before, though.

Next up: figure out why the right channel just dropped out. Iâ€™ll wait for the capacitors to discharge and poke around a bit.
