10-hour DJ shifts are hard on headphones. Sound quality doesn't matter so I tried using cheap headphones, but I'll literally break them in 2-3 shifts. I've found the most robust headphones are Beats Pros. My current set was acquired Oct 28, 2014, so I can't complain the headband broke today. I'm not sure if I can buy a replacement headband, but I can't wait to find out. Ordered a new set except they're all murdered out now.

That’s the Tony Hawk necklace!

So I have a 96 993, Black on Black. I bought it 2 years ago. The car is pretty original but a previous owner put in an Alpine deck, which looked like crap and was so complicated I could barely figure it out. The other thing that I didn't care for were the Turbo Twist wheels.....so I have fixed both these problems. I got a Becker Deck from Becker, so new with added Bluetooth, and a set of Tech Art RH wheels, I think they look much better. The wheels drive tomorrow and then I have to wait for the nice weather to arrive to get them installed. The attached pic is what it will look like, same car, same wheels.

Merry Christmas to me!

I picked up a new Made in Germany 12" ketchup bottle opener on Tuesday:



Used it for several plastic spring water and seltzer bottles already, and it is quickly earning a spot in my kitchen tool box. I may have to buy the matching jar opener one of these days.....

So I can get back into playing. Practice pads over my 'acoustic' kit just isn't cutting it.

After having to buy a new AV receiver (Anthem MRX720) a couple months back; I'm finally getting around to upgrading my main system to support Dolby ATMOS. This involves:

*upgrading my Apple TV to the current 4K model.

*buying a new 4K Blu-Ray Disc player. I chose the Sony UBP-X1100ES. I've used this piece and it's predecessor very often. Easy choice. https://www.sony.com/electronics/blu...etails_default


*additional speakers. I can't install in-ceiling speakers, so I'll be using the "bounce method" where an upward-firing loudspeaker bounces its output off the ceiling. I picked KEF's best ATMOS Module... the R8a in gloss black. These will be sitting on their matching KEF R3 stand-mounted speakers already in my possession. https://www.shop.us.kef.com/r8a.html

While Im extremely versed in ATMOS systems, my experience using the bounce method is relatively limited. Being "forced" to used the bounce method IN MY OWN SYSTEM should be an interesting experience. I'm looking forward to it. My upstairs neighbors, not so much. :

I know you're a KEF guy, but I recently purchased an Arcam AVR30, and Martin Logan ESL 11A Impression speakers, an ESL C34A Illusion center speaker, and 2 Dynamo 1100X subwoofers. I'm still breaking them in, and they're coming back to sound balance them, but so far they are awesome. Way better than my ears deserve. And for me they look spectacular too!

Got a vintage looking leather strap for use on my seamaster. Hopefully works out well if not can try on one of the others.
