Yeah it sucks because I can’t turn on the M-22 until probably October.

What is hot for you?

Rolling power outages?

On the other hand, if we have on pretty good authority (and reason to believe) that it's legit, then we'd consider it.

Vox I think may be FPGA delta sigma, but I could be misremembering that. I would agree that without a trusted ear having heard it, too much $$$ to gamble.

The NectarSound Headphone seems cool. Nectar Hive is a Electrostatic headphone seems cool that it is diy made in a garage. Seems pair with the Bottlehead electrostatic amp. Might be too niche as it isn't mainstream.

Horowitz recorded it at least five times and never managed to get it right. But Rubinstein did.

I beg to differ; this site offers a rational analysis of gear while maintaining a fine balance of WTF are you coming from? Vs reasonable discussions. Far more informative than other audio sites and far more entertaining. Good job to all on here, collectively it works.

Don't get me wrong; SBAF should always be serious about good sound (and we always have been). But we're really like your local pub; we have regulars, we shitpost, and some people here have more say than others. Boohoo

"E pur si muove."

Think an OG LA-2A compressor has good distortion measurements? Fuck no! But it'll make almost any dry vocal track sound better in the studio, I can almost guarantee that. Compression is something to re-think too, but audiophiles aren't ready to talk about that.

"+N" part specifically useless. I don't like the idea of "Total", either.
Ratio of H2 to H3 (or maybe extended to H4) is imho far more important indicator to me.

Also power-induced harmonics (60n hz for integer n) typically make results unreadable without indicating much info.

Maybe I should create a part two for the above tutorial?

I like Linus when he sticks to PC stuff.

@EagleWings did that guy just review a pair of speakers never having seen or heard them before, using just a fr graph?

They don't have a real audio writer unfortunately.

The biggest lie is the cook time to caramelize onions in recipes

The biggest lie is when she says "I'll just be a minute".

If you get into vinyl it becomes: “just one more side”

*Google it* "Looks like a vibrator" Hehe

They are loud as helk in a room. I'm sure they are capable of the upper extension, but would your source material have anything ultrasonic

I get those days here in the Rockies occasionally, when our arrid climate gets some moisture. System always sound better north of 20% humidity.

I don't think my hands are big enough to play all the Polonaises. You mentioned the Moonlight from Beethoven. A life-time goal for me might be to play each of the 32.

I'm no great shakes at the piano; just enjoy playing and unfortunately Chopin is my favorite composer (his work is hard to play though). Still working on Moonlight (the 3rd movement is not easy).

I concur, worse than $99 chifi stuff.

Obviously, I won't be listening to the USB for comparisons, but I'd say it's pretty inexcusable for something this expensive.

Ruh roh. Bad news for that Firegon guy.

More respect for him than LeBron, tbh. But sadly not as loud a voice I think.

@ChaChaRealSmooth Koreans never forget Koreantown after LA Riots. Can't trust the cops to protect your stores, so need to protect yourself. When I was a kid back in NYC a lot of Asians where with the White/Jews/Italian voters in getting Rudy as Mayor back in the 90s. The one story people don't want to talk about is the # of Asian leaning Conservatives, which it is very interesting to me.

LeBron's an idiot. He'd see all Pacific Rim countries be vassals to China if he could make money off of it. I hope to see more people affected speak out - realizing what's at stake.

Ugh... so disappointing to hear. Hope all of you are safe.

After Proud Boys got arrested for being attacked by Antifa, they stopped showing up. Too bad. They were good at making Antifa think twice before attacking little old ladies.

So sorry to hear! I hope you and yours stay safe.

I do think it might lead to a bit less idiocy regarding "HD 650 killers" because right now, it seems that many don't appreciate the HD 650 for what it is and see it as some entry-level can. That being said, it would be a hard sell at meets; the HD 650 sounds super underwhelming in meet conditions (stuff like Utopia or SR1a sounds super impressive).

Yes. The 250-500 Dollars/Euros region is still a good place for headphone purgatory. Plenty of choice.

I don't use my 6xx much, but they're a good reference / tool in the tool box. For $500 though, it's a tool I could live without.
