Small details like "Pro-ho-ho-fessional", "Version 2019", "Soft-wear Pack 2" and "Get ready to eXPerience the most impressive Windows soft-wear update yet" only add to the tongue-in-cheek cheesiness.

LTT's Resident Porsche fanboy and nutjob Audiophile.

 

Main speaker setup is now;

 

Mini DSP SHD Studio -> 2x Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC's (fed by AES/EBU, one feeds the left sub and main, the other feeds the right side) -> 2x Neumann KH420 + 2x Neumann KH870

 

(Having a totally seperate DAC for each channel is game changing for sound quality)

fake is an industry worth a gazillion, what i dont get is fake perfume or makeup and they wonder why their skin is burning.

i think the sweatshirt should read

"This Is for Your Own Good"

The only thing I hope is that last year they made exactly 98 sweaters or they said they made 99 but only 98 were actually made.

yeah billy and crew love to lie to you with a smile on their face.

I kinda like it

It'll be controversial if they handed out Windows Me or Vista ugly sweaters

There is more that meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside

If anyone starts selling these en masse (even if it's a knock off, as long as it's good quality), I'd be interested.
