View AttachmentJust bought some Dexoit. Hideously expensive. But it goes a long way. A couple of drops after you hosed down your control or switch with CRC or equivalent contact cleaner. That stuff is cheap. Won't hurt plastics, or leave residue. Stop listening to the BullSChiit on YouTube about how the Dexoit is the miracle drug that fixes the ailing electronics. Do it right, do it once! CRC first then Deoxit and just a smidge. Stuff will last years in your components and in the bottle, or more wasteful can. View Attachment XrayTonyB an Xray tech I have respect for and me say stop miss using Dexoit and other cleaners. Ebay and YouTube is rift with dopes who hose down the insides of controls and switches with Deoxit. I see that and I know I have a mess on my hands if I buy their gear. Be smart, and use cleaners and preservatives, and lubes as intended. Or else! Well, last sentence nicely, but I don't have to be mean if you don't follow our advice, you'll find out the messy and hard way. youtu.be/jmdwUQoQJTE?si=teGXPYe81eYTbqcm

My workout commitment has never sounded better. The Shanling MO pro and the ChangLe IEMs without microphone. Dual ESS DACs, Even balanced Headphone out if I like, bluetooth for those tangle free workouts. My AKG noise canceling IEMs will be a good pair too.

After publishing my photography to a Zenfolio site for over 15 years, I'm in the process of migrating to Smugmug. Unfortunately, Zenfolio has implemented some ridiculous business practices lately ... the worst of which is mandatory archiving of photo galleries that have not been updated in the last 14 months. It's a totally unworkable scheme, and to add to the absurdity, it apparently has crashed and burned under the weight of its massive implementation. So, little by little, I'll be designing a new site on Smugmug. Here's the basic idea. marclombardi.smugmug.com/

Whole house 24kW standby generator, replacing our 14+ year old 10kW model. We got spoiled by having a standby generator, decided to go all out and get one big enough to wire the entire house. Won't even go to how much it cost, but we should be good for at least the next 20 years š.

If we could ever get our house sold Iāll be buying one of those for the new crib. Iāve been eyeing those Generacās. I know they arenāt cheap but I think worth the purchase.

We got our first one when I used to travel a lot for work and had young kids at home. Knowing that my wife had to do absolutely nothing if power was lost while I traveled: priceless! We live in the North East, in a wooded area where power lines are taken down by trees and transformers blown by lightning quite often, whether that be due to rain, wind or snowstorm. One winter the 10kW generator run non-stop for almost a week after a fiery snowstorm left thousands of households with no power for up to two weeks. Friends where coming to our home to shower or just stay warm... Now, with a whole-house beast we have gone full post-apocalypse mode š

If all goes according to plan, will be moving to a new home build end of next year and planning on having a Generac installed from the beginning. Not sure which model or capacity at the moment. Will be using propane as there is no natural gas hook up.

Will be using propane as there is no natural gas hook up. Our standby generator runs on propane also. The good news, it has more heat content than natural gas, so you'll use less. The bad news, it's more expensive. Either way, well worth it for the convenience when the power goes out! We have two furnaces, a water heater, a pool heater, and the standby generator on propane. The propane distributor recently swapped out our 500 gallon tank for one with 1000 gallon capacity. Said they'll make fewer trips. The savings will be miniscule, but it's comforting that I'll have more in the tank when the generator needs it.

Xbox X to replace my Series S. If anyone is looking for an Xbox S I'll likely have a LN one for sale here on the Lounge soon.

I have my generator hooked up to the natural gas line, in that case there is a derating of ~10%. Therefore, 24kW really becomes 22-ish. Still plenty š”

DSOTM in ATMOS. This mix is fantastic. Now Iām curious. Just ordered mine. Iāve got the older SACD 5.1 mixes of DSOTM and WYWH. Both of those are really good. And Iāve got the MoFi DSOTM 24k version that I bought when it first came out.

And Iāve got the MoFi DSOTM 24k version that I bought when it first came out. I've got several versions including but not limited to the MoFi CD, the Immersion box set, the SACD, and the German Quadraphonie vinyl and now the Atmos BD. The BD from the Immersion set and the SACD are both very good but this one took it up a notch for me.
