Four audiophiles leave Portland driving 60 mph to visit Miller in Redmond. Well at least they drive 60 mph when they can. There's traffic. There's Starbucks. There's bladders. They text from Olympia which is like an hour away, and its an hour and a half later. So the question is, what time did they arrive at Mike Lavigne's?
Can you say that on here? Only until some prude snowflake figures out what you're talking about I guess. Wait. No. Never happen. They never figure anything out. Just see naughty word, scream and run to Safe Space until mommy mod comes and kisses and makes it all better. There there snowflake, bad word all gone now.
My favorite thing about Mike's system, its obviously very much a working active audiophiles system. Even without him saying anything the evidence is all over the place that he's actively keeping it a work in progress. Then he tells a few stories and its clear its many many years of work in progress. Otherwise known as constant gradual improvement. I'll be coming back. Already looking forward to it.
So ... "what time did they arrive at Mike Lavigne's"? Did the four audiophiles all have watches on within COSC standards? Did they synchronize watches before beginning the journey? Without that information, at least, there is no way to answer without purely guessing. If they all drove separately, that is yet another variable. My answer can only be that some were late as the record had already started. Of course, better late than never at Mike's!
Thanks for the explanation Mike. It's good to see you posting here again once in a while. I've always enjoyed your contributions, and as far as your system goes...I could only dream.
I'm in Redmond. Mike is about a half an hour away in the mountains outside North Bend. The guys showed up literally as I was writing the post. We had a nice few hours here then we all drove up to Mike's.
glad you guys had a get together to listen to music and mike’s system - important we try to do something social and ’normal’ in the time of covid and too much isolation
sounds like all had fun
cheers
ps - i think google translate needs to incorporate oldhyvmech's musings as an additional dialect needing translation... :)
