orgel Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I find these components require quite a bit of break-in time. Mine didn't seem to settle down until around 219,000 hours. Seriously, that's a beautiful baby, Chris. Enjoy your completely different life. --David Listening Room: Mac mini (Roon Core) > iMac (HQP) > exaSound PlayPoint (as NAA) > exaSound e32 > W4S STP-SE > Benchmark AHB2 > Wilson Sophia Series 2 (Details) Office: Mac Pro > AudioQuest DragonFly Red > JBL LSR305 Mobile: iPhone 6S > AudioQuest DragonFly Black > JH Audio JH5 Link to comment

Jim Smith Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Wow. Precious treasure in your very own home! From the FWIW department - For my children, all the way through their teenage years, I worked extra hard to build something for them. I thought I was building up a hoard of treasure for their future. Well, there's nothing wrong with that goal I suppose, if done in moderation. But I was gone most of the time, installing systems, going to meetings, etc. Even though we have a great relationship today, I greatly miss the times we could have had. I went out to seek treasure, when it was home the whole time. As I said, FWIW. Chris, congrats for a fabulous achievement and a major milestone in your lives!

esldude Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Is she a bit-perfect copy of her parents? Nah! Checksums wouldn't match I am sure. Of course that is because she is an original. Congrats on the attractive young lass there Chris. And always keep in mind: Cognitive biases, like seeing optical illusions are a sign of a normally functioning brain. We all have them, it’s nothing to be ashamed about, but it is something that affects our objective evaluation of reality. Link to comment
