It is kind of a deep dive, but if you have time to sit down and watch videos look up Renaissance Periodization on youtube for basically everything you ever need to know about training and nutrition. Dr Mike Israetel is hilarious and super knowledgeable.

Congrats! I know how tough what you did is, I did the same about 8 yrs ago. Then got injured, was unable to exercise hard for roughly 3 yrs and gained 50% of the weight back. Only know starting to look back at my old routine and trying to mentally pysch myself up to go back to it. (so far my mental pysch isn't working so well)

I will second Mike Israetel - he is good. For both strength and mass, for beginners to elite.
Focus quality over quantity and pick the best movements with lowest risk to benefit ratio. In your 50'ies avoiding and managing injury is priority no 1, while still putting in consistent hard work.

Which XLR connection did you go with? Was it hard?

I used a standard XLR4 for use with a Ragnarok. When I did this with the Focal Elear's, I made an XLR 4 to 1/4" TRS with the tail. I can still use the Grados at work with that in hand.

Grado doesn't make it easy. The ground wires are all the same blue. I used a multimeter to test for continuity to determine which channel each wire was associated with. That was probably unwise and I think I got lucky because I would imagine that this sends a dc voltage across the driver.

Do you know what motherboard version you have between 1 and 1.5? I had a v.1 b-stock and a channel blew. Sent it in years ago and had it upgraded to v1.5 and was fine after that. It’s now sitting in a closet.

I can check. It’s a new black one I bought retail after the price drop. It’s only pushing a pair of 6ohm pioneer floor speakers. I will try more air gap around it I guess.

Can you share which wire attaches to what XLR pin for the Grados, pretty please?

I will report back.

Is 'resting clickbait face' a thing?

You mean @GoldenOne? lol. Well, at least you called him a kid.

I can post nudes instead on the front page

OK... No I don't. But she often does.

If this seems to you like it's a new thing, be worried - could be she's stopped caring about trying to cover ;)

I keep finding my days and nights being spoken for without being spoken to. Married life...

audio is like a 'lite' Flow state meditation or me.

strive for wellness and seek solace. Respite is necessary. Good luck, friend!

Wishing you the best in getting to a better place.

Step up in what? And from what?? Stop the clickbait!!! ;-)

Gungnir MB single ended into SW51+. I know it is cliche, but I am hearing things in songs that I think were smeared together. Instrument separation is greater. I have only a scant few hours on it but I am really happy.

Wait till you have the Cinemags xlr—>rca

I think Schiit is simply becoming a larger company, and the personal touch is being lost on the logistical side.

Schiit is the bomb. I still love em. Amazon has spoiled me!

My Schiit has schipped. Thanks so much schiity Schiit people!

Yep. Gotta get the synergy right but these are winners when you do.

Pretty sure you can get a cream to help with that.

They’re grrrrrrreat!

It’s a slamming DAC….you will have a good time

I like the tuning. They fit pretty comfortably well too. Pretty good staging for an IEM. Basically, it's an IE600 in a plastic shell instead of metal.

I don't thiing they do anyting "wrong" to my ears, but I consider myself a noob at evaluations still. The bass is really nice. I don't hear bleed into the mids. Treble is on par with HD660S2 I'd say..

I have a IE300 too, found them to be wholly inoffensive as far as peaks and treble nasties, very good mids and captivating bass. They do seem to like a bit of power to shine though.

Thanks guys! I really gotta try more stuff instead of being caught up in other people's distaste for anything outside of the accepted average.

That's the Elear with Clear pads, I believe? Nice!
