I will PM you a spot to go witha Jeep.

Now I want to change your mind on this too! I have only been to the big island but it seems right up your alley at least as I imagine you from your posts. Rent a 4WD and get off the beaten track, amazing beaches hard to get to, The Volcanos park. Unbelievable snorkeling. 14000 ft Mauna Kea...

Me neither except for Jaurez, but I really want to do a tequila tour. That would not interest you?

I don't know if people are advocating for SE, just what we might have. If I had this issue with USB ground loop I would look into a USB ground lifter rather than try to partially improve the situation with a better RCA. I haven't ever had the situation though, so I am speaking with a good deal...

I bought these ones since it is a familiar company and they say made in the USA. I will be viewing from my dad's south facing deck overlooking the frozen Rangeley Lake in Maine. I am waiting to get into the window of a 14-day forecast. And then expect the opposite of what the forecast says...

For anyone feeling nostalgic, here is a Pease Porridge on speaker cables. I really miss Bob Pease's writing. https://pearl-hifi.com/06_Lit_Archive/02_PEARL_Arch/Vol_16/Sec_53/Pease_Lab_Notes/Kaye_Pease_Davis_on_Cables.pdf

For the sake of giving another data point, here is another Starlink speed test in western Maine. The starlink app shows a little bit higher, something like 180MBps. Maybe the wifi network explains the difference. I didn't turn off the other connected devices although they shouldn't have been...

Thanks. I didn't really know anything about it. I think I saw a line of maybe 8 or 10 about a month ago, and was wondering why I do not see them more often.

We have Starlink at my parents' vacation house in western Maine. It has been great. It has the auto rotation; I didn't know that they did away with that. The heating works well even with the snow and ice in a harsh winter climate. I am going up there this afternoon so I will post another data...

Oh I know, I just think some of us old guys are not so liberated that we would not find that story most embarrassing.

Maybe only old guys like me would be embarrassed. What a lovely world where that would be fine! Why was he suspended anyway?

I wouldn't bother to watch that, but as far as embarrassing I would say this is worse https://www.vice.com/en/article/epdgm4/new-yorker-suspends-jeffrey-toobin-for-zoom-dick-incident

Following up, here is the Sonos Amp output vs frequency into Overnight Sensations. It isn't quite as bad as I remembered but still an interesting example. Keep in mind Sonos has a 48KHz sample rate limit and only the shoulder of the resonant peak happens below 24KHz. The WiiM amp does do higher...
