    ·

    Just caught this on my radar today and I’m genuinely excited. I’ve been eyeing a few Eversolo DACs and players for a while now, especially since I revamped my music setup (more on that in a future post), and now, the newly announced Eversolo Play Streaming Amplifier looks like it checks all the boxes on

  • Of Jazz and Whisky

    ·

    Ten years ago, I couldn’t stand either. Jazz sounded like a dissonant chaos. Whisky burned on the way down.

      I knew Calvin & Hobbes when they were printed in Portugal for the first time by the newspaper Público. My father bought it every day and I read religiously every strip until one day I grew out of it. My 20’s had that effect in me, I left behind some of the best things
