Eitr is an old Germanic word describing a highly toxic mythical substance with magical properties. It's also the modern German word for pus.

That's probably why they say you should not dig deeper somewhere in the faq haha

I got myself a new "Chinese Clone" preamplifier from AliExpress. This is a Zero Zone Cary SPL-90 clone. See it HERE.

It was received very promptly, delivered by UPS, and was in perfect condition. It looks and sounds great for a tube preamp. I paid Cdn$ 606 with PSVANE ART Series 12AU7-S tubes; shipping was an additional C$116.

SVS Micro 3000 Micro R|Evolution w/Auto EQ mic. It replaces my SVS PB12-NSD. I'm most excited about the auto-EQing feature.

I picked up a new to me Ineos Grenadier, and first thing I did was put an audio system in. Pic of the mids and highs pods (3D scanned and printed, color-matched to the interior). Running 8.1 channels, fully DSP, with active crossovers. Sound is so much better than the stock system.

Placeholder, got the connectivity I need. If I like it, I may keep it for longer, probably not.
SMSL AL400 by the way....

Placeholders, most definately. What Hifi propel them as great, which means they can be almost ok per USD. Low expectations, but that's how it is for USD 315. Expect to get those USD 315 back when passing them on though

Dali Kupid that is.

I'm quite a fan of birds. Unfortunately, it's owls, which are nearly impossible to spot!

Have had the pleasure of watching owls hunting, most notably, Strix Aluco - a pair hunting together just before dark for mice and so on. Saw them 3 days in row and they clearly were patroling the same area the same way "everytime", and 3 Asio Flammeus hunting for ducklings paddling for their life on a mountain lake. Nearly extinct hereabout, but we had Bubu bubo hunting around our summer house when I was a kid. Majestic. (I use the latin names out of courtesy, not because I'm particularly competent, had to check the names online).

I'm not a photographer, but always carry a small Nikon Monarch 5 8x42 in the outback. 8x is a bit more forgiving than 10x to me. It's pretty good when light is low, taking it's price level into account. Would have to spend a lot more to get something notably better, I'd consider it a great starter, and bought it from an ornitology shop online..

You probably know way more about owls than I do, but I believe those interested would have to watch out for them when they are hunting to figure out where they rest/nest, and then wait for them to figure out exactly where. Believe that's how to spot them more frequently. By coincidence, it would be very difficult.

New computer for the bike. My Wahoo Roam v2 has been getting a little wonky, so I jumped ship to Garmin. I'm probably trading one headache for another; hope not, though.
