OT - What are you doing now? (2025)

Dyal_SC · January 7

Have watched 2 of the 3 Aaron Rodgers Netflix episodes so far. Dude is eccentric, intelligent and too hard on himself — but has an exaggerated sense of self importance. Granted, that exaggerated ego has also made him very successful. It’s interesting to observe the minds, traits, and fallacies of successful people like that. I’m not even really a sports fan, but the doc series is oddly interesting.

I didn’t even realize there was an Aaron Rodgers Netflix documentary, but in trying to find it I found this and LOL

Yup, and he’s quite the fan of Costa Rican country clubs.

@Botch did you look at any others? I didn't know Cambridge made one, but I've almost pulled the trigger on the Bluesound node a year or two ago and then got distracted by other priorities. There seem to be a lot more on the market now in that price range, I was never going to spend $1500+ on one.

Oh yeah; as usual I spent months looking at reviews and videos for different hardware. I guess I don't qualify as a True audiophile; I spend a lot of time auditioning, and then a bunch of money, on h/w and then don't think about upgrading until I have to. I'd rather focus on the music.

The Wiim products really caught my eye, and a lot of the "audiophile" channels I peek in on were really singing their praises; the Wiim Ultra was especially notable with all the I/O and the small video screen, but it is manufactured in China, by a very new company (and according to Crutchfield, doesn't support Apple Airplay 2, even though their lower-priced streamers do?!?). I decided to go with the $80-more, British-made Cambridge, metal housing, good app, from a company that's been around since, what, the 70's?

Tomorrow I may kludge up a "side-by-side" sound comparison of Steely Dan's Aja, between my new Cambridge, streaming it via TIDAL, and my MFSL SACD copy played on my Oppo disc player. After a career in the explosives area, and a half-career as a bar musician, and now two-toned tinnitus, I don't expect to hear a difference, but why not try? (I miss my younger years/ears...)

Legume · January 7

Yeah, I'm not chasing perfect sound, just better and the desire improve from streaming off of my phone, and be able to walk away with my phone. Keep posting on the Cambridge, I'm interested and I'm not sure the Bluesound has changed or grown. My receiver is Cambridge, so maybe that's a better choice in the same price range for me.

I watched the series over the Christmas break. Pretty entertaining and I definitely learned a lot more about the guy and his proclivities

Exit Trudeau

Is Justin Trudeau a victim of global political trends, a unique failure, a leader who left a positive mark, or a bit of all three?

Frictionless conduit here!

Matt used to post here a lot more until certain people started giving him crap for all the Miller Lite he was drinking with his Q.

Maybe now that he’s drinking Pappy mixed with Mexican Coke he’ll be welcomed back with open arms, but time will tell.

Nothing wrong with Lite while doing anything IMO 👍

Made a handle for the egg out of heat and UV resistant material. No more crusty, dilapidated wooden handles

Awesome. What temps are that handle good to, and when do you go into business?

No experience with 3D printing. How do you get the green on the lettering?

Ha! The thermoplastic can withstand 180*. The green is actual filament. I can print up to 4 colors automatically.

I am at the library looking through atlases and renaming places with a sharpie.

Awesome!! I’ll take one each in Large, small, and mini sizes.

Age of the BGE will dictate the length of handles. FWIW-
