This is the best answer @E_Schaaf! lolololol

I did rep it last year. It is quite good with some fat music. Still I like the cheaper Aria a little better for the price.

The Aria’s are heavier and case is bigger. I like the size, fit, look, and feel of the Starfields.

Enjoying the 800 talk around here lately. Feels like belonging to the dark side sometimes, ha. I really, really like mine.

Used especially (usually pretty well south of 1k now pretty regularly) it’s a pretty fantastic value proposition, as long as your chain is in order/to your liking.

Landmark headphone and reference point in the hobby. Was my main headphone for years and still use it since grabbing a Utopia

I’ve never found better for classical despite more resolution with the Utopia and LCD-4. Enjoy!

Is the gold different than the plebeian lead or whatever in more than just the finish? Never heard one of these doodads but as things open up I could imagine getting a dongle thingy one day.

Yes it is different that the normal Go Bar. Better internals.

I would rather die from curiosity than ignorance.

Thanks @gixxerwimp. I did get the quote from Ted Lasso, but it’s is still sage advice.

Maybe you just need to meet the right mouse?

Seriously: using one that is too small could strain the finger, for instance. Having a mouse whose body comfortably accommodates the relaxed hand, requiring little or no effort click, on the other hand?

Unless you are gamer, or some other kind of manic clicker?

I've been using trackballs for many years for work (currently a logitech wireless model). I switched due to mouse-related RSI, but that mainly showed up as wrist and elbow pain. Since the trackball doesn't move that stress is completely eliminated. Not sure it would help with finger pain, as you still have buttons to click. I still use a mouse for gaming btw; trackballs suck for that purpose.

I have started regular finger stretching and that has helped. Will likely pick up a cheap wired trackball to see how it goes. Although I think I already know I will probably prefer the big ball one.

Recently had a $1K washer that was only a few years old fail, and the repairman sang the praises of a brand called Speed Queen. We ended up writing the old washer off and buying the TC5, and we're really happy with it. Has its tradeoffs (like everything) but our clothes have never been cleaner & it's built like a tank with a pretty great warranty.

After too many rounds with consumer crap we invested in commercial laundry equipment. Best investment ever. Works fine, lasts long time. Only change would be to add the coin operation metering for one of my sons that does all his laundry at our house.

^ Seems like people either need a new one every 2-3 years or they last 15+ years...

UMD was the format the original PSP used. Basically a disc in a plastic housing. Was a pretty decent solution to getting console style 3D gaming in a portable.

My favorite obsolete format remains laserdisc.

@atomicbob I do, as that’s how I learned a “bit bucket” is a physical thing.

I've been hoping against hope for years that he would find peace. I guess he has.

Mine arrive today! I am coming from a set of ER4XRs. They are good (really good actually), but I miss engagement from them (no slam, no soundstage depth). Also BA timbre... I expect these to sound more normal in this sense.

You have to mod them to get out of the 4k peak.

I've recently moved over to Android for the first time. It's caught up in most ways, and doesn't prevent you using your phone the way you want to. Plus it is 4x cheaper to get a phone with a large screen. The Samsung Galaxy "A52s" is tremendous value. Even so I'd still recommend iPhone to anyone non technical, budget aside.

My disappointment runs high. *shakes head accusingly*

I think mostly Apple now has some of the features I liked about Android and the differences are much smaller than ever before. My work is Apple only for email, so that too was part of it.

14.2mm driver in Timeless. 14.8mm driver in the S12, with more traditional IEM fit. Two prong plug though. Only two reviews on YT so far just posted in the last week.

@gixxerwimp XD I was already thinking that was the chinesiest brand name. Now the classic ad copy. Shuo er - without the hanzi guessing “shining ears”

SBAF will be getting an S12 loaner :)

Good lord... Looks like the opening shot of a dystopian disaster movie. I'm struggling to find other words to describe it.

Don't see any drivers online for it. are you operating at a redbook?

Redbook? You mean 16/44.1? It happens anytime in Windows 10 no matter what application.

Might check your PC for latency issues, some other program could be causing it: https://www.sweetwater.com/sweetcare/articles/solving-dpc-latency-issues/#

@Elnrik AND the deputy... oh yeah wait that was a cover too.

Bob Marley shot the sheriff.

@Soups "I prefer to know less and less about musicians' real™ lives."

Always have felt the same. Only recently looked into the history of some of my favourite music. One can wish one hadn't. Case: CSN. Sang some of my favourite songs. Better not to find out what they ended up thinking of each other.
