Let's try not to be sexist... there are women in the hobby. They just don't have anything valuable to add to the discussion. (Kinda like me!)

(Self deprecation and mild, obviously satirical chauvinism is okay.)

shit, just ordered an Yggy.
someone shoot me in the head.

new arrivals:  Yggy in July and Liquid Carbon in August.
then I sign off for a year to avoid all pyrate talk of future glitter-coated products or Moffat designed robots.

I suspect the context for this didn't persist, but it was in reference to the bikini pics posted earlier in the thread. I don't really have an axe to grind here, I liked the pics, but I also know many women who find that sort of thing off-putting.

Yeah, in this case it's just that the photo could literally have been of anything, like a macro shot of a flower, or a sports photo, or a closeup of a face, etc.

Anyhow, Yggy really seems to be garnering universal praise. I especially liked someone's comment about lots of  agreement about amp differences due to the prevalence of Yggy. Can't wait til half of Chang has it.

I'm confused by the picture labeled yggdrasil. The foreground is in sharp resolution but the background is fuzzy and out of focus.

Is that meant to be a comment on the depth of the soundstage? That concerns me.

Uhh...that's how a proper photo taking perspective shots is supposed to look. Stop overthinking it.....

I'm pretty sure he was punkin' us.  I, for one, was focused on the foreground.

I hope you guys realize there is an 80% chance that we will have a page three girls section before the end of the year.

Not so much male chauvinism as immaturity.

I attempted to post the technical measurements here but due to my low post count, it took admin intervention to allow me to upload pictures into a post. I will put all of that into a post here this weekend. Day job requires some measurements from me for acoustic evaluations of enclosures.


Because there's a pic objectifying women in about 1:10,000 audio posts? Ironic, considering their whole lives are spent objectifying themselves...






















What?
