  • Simaudio Mind 180, Part 3

    When I was dating ACS in the mid-90s, she played some rough and physical sports, including martial arts. Bashed, battered, and beaten, she'd come home, and upon entering the front door, she immediately dropped her stuff. She'd kick off her shoes, remove her headband, shed her outer clothes, rip off her bra (usually a sports bra), pull down her panties, and unwrap tape.

    By looking in the mirror, feeling herself, and asking me, she'd inventory her parts. She'd cup her breasts, and complain that they were either too tender, or "hard as rock." She'd sniff her stubbly armpits, and even her snatch. Facing sideways, she'd turn her big butt to me, and ask, "Is my rump bruised?"

    Get your mind out of the gutter. Now that you have opened the Simaudio Mind 180, it is time to inventory its parts.

    It comes with a "Sim-Link" wire, which is just a mini-headphone to mini-headphone cable. By running this cable from the Mind 180 to Simaudio preamps, CD players, and DACs, you may use your iPhone or iPad [as of this writing, the Mind 180 only works with Apple products. Supposedly it will, in the future, be compatible with Android devices] to switch inputs, control volume, or adjust display brightness.

    The Mind 180's flexible AC adapter is identical to that used in the Moon 100D. Since many of you have not read my coverage of the Moon 100D's AC adapter, I will dedicate another future post to it. Stay tuned.

    Finally, the Mind 180 comes with a small screw-in (get your mind out of the gutter) antenna. Again, I'll have to dedicate a future post, to cover this antenna.
