One shouldn't immaturely and ignorantly mock a deep rooted belief and national tradition (for some) and expect a mature response. Aug 21, 2019 at 7:24 PM

    I actually don't think his intent was to mock, but I do think it is right to expect more of our members.

    I doubt his intent was to mock but his tone seemed belittling to me and started right of the bat insulting fellow members (probably way more than he would expect). It is polarizing issue that requires kid gloves and it seemed borderline like a shitpost to me. I am not surprised by the reactions. I would like to expect more from our members but its a very emotional issue for some of us.

    I didn't get a notice that it had shipped. I have tried it on the cavalli liquid carbon and liquid gold.

  Made a trade for a pair of ZMF Aeolus. Very fun headphone. Going to be listening to bass heavy music while waiting for my ESX 6 to show up.

  Finished my Vibro Labs TP1 build last night, may fine tune it. For now it has great bass impact. Capenter Brut Le Perv rattles my lobes.

    Then you should hear either auteur or verite. Each has its own coloration that makes classical pieces fantastic.

    @DigMe sounds like a bad time - in my experience the presence of more than three headphone cables occupying the same space will result in a wormhole opening to spontaneously tie them into a knot. Non-euclidian space is scary.

    REW help is really good. Go through it thoroughly even once and you'll be making better measurements than every EARS-equipped Herd-Fier.
