Not the same as Schiit's, but I picked up clear bumpers as replacements at Home Depot... like $3 for 20. (although, if you really need 2,000, then not feasible)

I was looking for mostly the newer style push in feet, they are like a nice plastic bit you push into the case hole not the older stick on adhesive style.

That might well be the difference between a consumer item, easily available, and an electronics-trade part that has to be searched for.

I love the stick-ons, in various shapes and sizes, for various uses from feet for devices, through wall/door-knob protection, to making pushbuttons immediately findable even in the dark.

If the stick is good, does it make a great difference? Unless you need longer, actual feet.

Cinemag clmi15b can be a better option than jensen if you're willing to diy.

I am willing but my friend is not, I was hoping by now you would have released your diy board

I have a hadfull of extra DIY boards actually. Hit me up on PM to discuss.

of course @rlow warned me of this long ago @Melvillian also helped me understand the foolishness of some of my questions.

Whatever @tommytakis you know it’s all about the gear not the music or people

My endgame is the best I can afford and still enjoy. Enjoy is the keyword here.

It seems like a bit of work for too little money unless your flipping $25+ k gear to the orfas crowd...

I've flipped a few things. Meze 99C comes to mind, got for free but sold years later for cost of shipping and new pads plus a $20 premium I think. Used money for a balanced cable for the HP-3. Disclosed it was a flip ofc.

But that only goes for stuff I'm indifferent about. There are some things I'm determined to keep to Friends and friends, like the one prototype Fostex porta amp I got off Bill-P years back that still needs refurbishing; that's staying on SBAF.

Discord call watching WWE Royal Rumble with my 2 friends commentating on it's absurdity.
Great time.

Drinking together...separately.

So long as there are people in the chatroom...

Nak 680ZX can record half speed cassettes, something i drool over regularly

Found this in search of a source with a nice pattern.

Maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel?

That kind of makes sense. If you think about it, a tape head and tape is kind of like an isolation transformer. Matter of fact, the Neve analog tape emulator is just this...two coils really close together. It does other stuff like emulate the saturation, which maybe adding in some of those harmonics.

And a very merry war against Christmas to you too!

The Fulla2 is one of the best audio purchases in years for me. Even YouTube audio is tolerable.

Very fun sounding, hope to hear more fun sounding dacs at the higher end.

Pair with porta pros for endgame

I went with high index for my glasses (progressive and reading), but also add a 5-10 % tint (usually grey or blue). I find the tint helps take a bit of the edge off some things that otherwise appear too sharp. I consider it to be visual EQ, much like I use sound EQ to tune my headphones to my personal preferences.

shucks @GoodEnoughGear , I got excited because I got it backwards in my head - I was thinking the Jriver WDM driver would be a way to stream via ethernet Jriver to PI 2AES...

Wanting to move away from USB...Roon actually sees Jriver in audio setup up (asio & wasapi), but to be honest I have never bothered to use it...but in the end it's Jriver to Pi that I want...though I have Ropiee XL on the Pi so I suppose I could DLNA from Jriver to it...

I enjoy both more on the Aeolus, I think, but that's probably attributable to the fact that I listen to music with a lot of acoustic instruments and vocals.

YES! these new releases have almost no acoustical aspects to them. Mostly edm, Death Grips, Dorian Electra, 100 GECS, Kanye west on the clears.

The Aeolus made me love Acoustic music. Lou Donaldson, Michel Petrucciani, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Nils Lofgren, Kenny Dorham, Joel Xavier, Jacques Loussier.

Just helped me realize there is no 1 headphone.

It is doable, but voids your warranty. The thread on Head-fi has info (https://www.head-fi.org/threads/ifi-ican-pro-impressions-discussion.795344/page-108

Its all throughout the thread, but seems to been a recent topic, so start at the end and work back.

Warranty period seems to be 1 year. If it's near the end or past that point I would just do it.

I'm able to add that CD to my Amazon cart. Didn't try taking the purchase further. If it fails after that point get Amazon support involved to make the purchase happen.

Looks like TISM are about to do reissues:

Actually breaking news for me thank you @Sqveak
