New Gear Ordered Day

Post by musicturtle »

I won one of my Fantasy Football leagues and came in second in the other. Netting $990.

So I splurged and bought some stuff(no these two items did not cost $1000 :tongue:)


Aston Halo reflection filter(because I record in some of the worst treated places)

Beyerdynamic 990 open back head phones(because I mix almost exclusively with cans)

I've not seen the halo shape before. Weird but probably effective. The shield I use is a cheapie but it def works.

How many fantasy points do you get for unhinged rage quitting in the middle of a game?

It is amazing we don't see more of this type of thing in professional sports(not so much the taking off of the clothes, but just walking off a field or court). Guys have so much money, make more money than their coaches. Plus, American football just messes up the minds of a lot of these players. In every other profession I have worked in, I have seen people just up and leave without warning in the middle of a shift, but I am having trouble recalling professional athletes doing it.

Not saying what AB did was justified, but it's kind of refreshing to me in a weird way.

In football, the stigma of being a quitter or not giving 100% is the worst reputation you could have. The worst. You can lose every game, but if you hustled in those games you have respect. Cheaters, wife abusers, drug users, no one cares. But if you're a quitter you might as well be dead. I don't even see how someone elite like A.B. could recover from this. The greatest players obviously get preferential treatment, but he has burned every bridge he's crossed and he actually quit on his team....while they were down. The worst you could do.

Thanks @WhiskeyJack

Yeah, I get a little too involved sometimes in the fantasy football stuff. I will be cutting down my involvement and maybe dropping it all together as my wife is growing tired of my obsessive behavior. Good to go out on a high note though. :punk:

@Lt. Bob love these headphonea but it seems my interface does not push them enough.

Luckily I had this little mixer from my acoustic giggjng days laying around. Ran the mains out of my Focusrite to it. Did the trick nicely.

I love headphones and have a buncha good ones.

For an amp I primarily use one of these although I have an upgraded power supply for it.
