    When you start to pair IEM to musical genes and locations (bedroom rig, office rig, etc.)

    Christmas music is my aversion therapy. Rest of the year I am a shopoholic.

    Our hyper-local tradition is Christmas music only gets spun on vinyl. Every year the Christmas corpus grows!

  This is why you do not order direct from China. Vendor shipped Chinese versions , not realizing that there were two versions.

  Utopia is all broken in and sounds too good. Just like a computer, though, garbage in, garbage out.. Shitty recordings tend to sound shitty.
