Even so, the more I listened to my system with the Grimm MU1 installed, the more I understood “The Why”. So if my last streamer did a great job and cost me $1,800.00 then why would I ever consider a streamer that sells for over $10,000? Yea, exactly. So the Grimm MU1 was a learning experience for me as well as I learned what I used to think was not quite right. I used to think streamers made a small difference, but not one big enough to warrant a five figure price tag. In fact many feel all streamers are the same and make zero changes to the sound. ![]() That was my Lumin U1 mini and it did a great job of sending those digital bits to my DAC. Heck, my last streamer lasted me two years and cost me $1800. We can buy really nice ones made for audiophiles for around $2k and up. We can get a music streamer for a couple hundred dollars. No DAC is included here and that will also be needed for this to work within your system and make beautiful music. This is a $10,500 Streamer/Server and that price is without an internal SSD drive included. Why? Well, at first glance it seems overpriced for what it is. In fact, this piece joins the ranks of my Fleetwood Deville SQ speakers, the Enelum AMP 23-R and Weiss DAC 501 that I have purchased for myself.Īs special as it is, I was not so sure I wanted to review the Mu1 initially. Up front I will state that The Grimm MU1 Music Streamer and Server is another one of those rare “special” pieces that sit amongst the most pleasing I have experienced in HiFi. Today I am going to write about a piece that I feel will be very hard to write about due to what it is, what it does and what it cost. ![]() I sent two pieces back without review this month (they buzzed, hummed out of the box).

Lethal Enforcers 3 was released in 2005 for arcades only, and plays completely different from its predecessors (but similar to the Police 911 spinoff). You are tasked to tracking down an international Yakuza group named Gokudou-kai. In these games, you race through each stage, clearing out enemies in the High-Speed Battle in order to reach the Cat-and-Mouse Boss stage, while using a Time Crisis-style cover system to avoid enemy gunfire. There is also a spin-off series called Police 911, also a sequel to the first game and is set in Japan. These were followed by a Compilation Rerelease for the PlayStation. Home ports of both games were released for the Sega Genesis, Sega CD and Super Nintendo Entertainment System (first game only) bundled with the Justifier light gun. The gameplay is the same, only now you fight outlaws in Old West settings such as a saloon and a stagecoach holdup. While the previous game was set in modern times, this game changes the setting to The Wild West. In 1994, Konami released a sequel, Lethal Enforcers II: Gun Fighters (called Lethal Enforcers II: The Western in Japan). Combined with violent gameplay, like the similar use in Mortal Kombat (albeit without the famous blood and gore), this resulted in controversy. The Bank Robbery, in which you must stop bank robbers from escaping and stealing the money, Chinatown Assault, in which you must battle The Triads and the Tongs as well as Chinese knife-wielding triads that have overrun Chinatown, The Hijack, in which you must prevent a general and his group of terrorists from taking a plane and escaping, The Drug Dealers, where you must stop the bad guys from selling drugs to innocent people, and The Chemical Plant, where you must stop terrorists from sabotaging a chemical plant to poison the water supply.Īmong the light gun games that filled the arcades, Lethal Enforcers stood out as the first to use Digitized Sprites, specifically based on photographs of live actors and locales, giving the game a photorealistic (if pixelated) appearance. There are five missions to complete in the game, each ending with a Boss Battle. Shooting the bad guys will increase your rank, which is needed to get through the stages, but killing any innocent bystanders or police officers in the process will reduce your rank instead. ![]() Lethal Enforcers is a 1992 Light Gun Game by Konami in which you are a police officer trying to take out criminals and terrorists.

Alternatively, users can try using the "Secure Empty Trash" feature available in the "File" menu in the Finder. This should fix most problems in which trashed files are being stubborn. Use Finder-based methods for removing the file If the system provides an error regarding permissions or "locked" status of a file, users can force the trash to be emptied by holding the options key down when right-clicking the trash to empty it. As such, in order to remove the files users must target the files in that hidden directory, and there are many ways to do this. In instances in which the trashed files disappear upon ejecting an external drive, the files are located on that drive in the ".Trashes" folder. ![]() ![]() When files are placed in the trash by the system, they're removed from their original folder and are placed in a hidden temporary folder called ".Trashes" that is at the root of the drive containing the offending file. These did not work either, and upon trying to access the file either for rename or removal the system would give errors claiming the enclosing folder is not empty or would just not do anything. ![]() In addition to various Finder-related methods for removing the file, this user attempted several Terminal commands to directly target and remove the offending file.

MacFixIt has covered some of these situations in the past, in which files appeared due to problems in Windows Boot Camp partitions, or bizarre permissions problems prevented deletion. Sometimes users may intentionally move files to the trash and then perform some operation that inadvertently renders them inaccessible, and other times, rogue files may just appear in the trash.
