What did Apple say?

@Gazny Interesting! So if I go into accessibilty>display>color filters (on)>and then turn to color tint and ratchet up intensity, I can reduplicate the effect... But I can't find a way to do that through shortcuts, etc.

@JK47 Bought it at Costco but I may pop into the Apple Store and see what the say... @Gazny And "reduplicate"... because I wasn't doing any of those things when it turned red. @yotacowboy Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth

Mine fills with lint over time. I just use a paper clip to clean it out every so often.

@edd that's good to hear. I used a toothpick.

Enjoy! Akihabara is the district with all the electronics stores (and other shopping fun). I've seen people recommend e-earphones if you want to go IEM/headphone shopping.

Japan is my favorite place to visit and I have waaay to much to say in a profile post. But, I will say that going to the Akihabara Yodobashi store is a blast (think uber Best buy) with electronics galore and a really good food court up top (like Wagyu beef sets good).

I've been going once a year. It really is an amazing place. I went to South Korea too this year and it was really awesome. The people there are a bit more chill than in Japan.

KSC75 on headband with Yaxi is definitely my favorite flavor of all the variations of PortaPro and Sportapro drivers.

I suspect audeze was the OEM manufacturer for the new wireless planar headphones for playstation. Perhaps Sony felt it was cheaper long term to buy the company than deal with patent royalties, contracting and depending on a small company for their scale and timeline of manufacture.

Also don't forget it's less than a pocket change for Sony to buy Audeze. I wouldn't read too much into it tbh.

Best case scenario is probably like InBev with beer. They let them mostly run the same but it’s part of their portfolio

Maybe an OG MB Modi?

Haven't tried any of the new Modis but the Piety is very wide-stage, so maybe something that images deeper would help round things out. Also while I do think the Piety is more organic sounding in the highs than e.g. the Magni 3+, yeah there are moments when I wish for a bit more roundness even in low gain mode. The Modi MB seems like it ought work, I'm actually considering a BF2/64 in a couple years when feasible.

I believe the difference from 3E to + is the change to Unison USB (and USB-C connectors). The DAC is the same ESS chip. So if you are not using USB as an input, I’d go the cheaper version. Since the Piety and HD6xx are on the warmer side of neutral, the Modi MB (OG) may be a bit too dark. If you can find one, an old Modi 2U (AKM 4390?) could be fun and relatively cheap.

I very much enjoy "The Story of Classical" series for new comers such as myself.

@bixby How is that done technically? Is there any chance to get their content on a streamer without connecting a computer or tablet via USB?

@imackler I'm enjoying your hopeful attitude. It's reminiscent of "Little Bit of Luck" from "My Fair Lady." =D

@zottel I don't think so. I looked into trying to get an app for my Android tv and they only do Apple via airplay or something.

sister had flights to and from our parents' cancelled. Ended up booking with another airline for return flight on the same day. Her husband was supposed to fly to visit his family afterward, took greyhound instead, arriving a day after original date. Still, could have been worse

I read that on one particular day, SWA accounted for 50% of all cancellations - GLOBALLY. I’ve also read it is due to antiquated staffing software.

I managed to get out of Dallas a few days before the first wave came in thankfully, or I might still be stuck down there...

That's interesting. I kinda felt the same way, but I didn't put it in words. Thanks! What I'd really like is an upgraded Rockets.

Try moving up the chain? I love my E5000s, although anyone who something close to neutral should stay far away.

Never heard any of the E-series myself, but here's a guy who's bought 5 and listened closely to the 6th; you might be able to triangulate vs E1000 from what he writes:

TLDR (my interpretation): E3000 seems closest but might be too mid-bassy.

Sorry for a Wings L tonight, but was a good game for what I saw on stream.

Grado F cush is better. If you want to get more Grado, the Gerod pads are less bowly bowls that split the difference.

Thanks, @purr1n!

Happy birthday, dine as a king of meats!

Your sister married well ;)
As did mine. My BIL gave me his old espresso setup when he upgraded.

HBDAY! Thru Goldbelly or straight from Katz's?

@shotgunshane I know... and yet the elusive one-ring-to-rule-them-all dynamic driver will be forged someday. Loving my FDX1 though!

Moondrop Kato

@YMO Not bad at all, I like the FDX1 more personally...

Damnit I love my iPod touch, I was hoping they would make a new one. I don't want to stream with my big iPhone. I guess I'll have to look into an iPhone SE, though it looks like they're unlikely to make another one of those because it's not selling well. Bummer everything has to be so huge,

The current iPhone SE has an A15 chip, it'll be good for many years. By then Apple will have some other option available I'm sure.

In 2004 I bought my first iPod, and then first Mac mini with external hard drives for a music server. I think hard drives cost about $1 per GB back then. Somewhere around 10 yrs ago I finally got pissed enough with iTunes file corruption tomfuckery to do podcasts on phone and reripped cds to FLAC and used Amarra or something. Now I just use streaming exclusively while I wait for Schiit transport to play CDs again

Now the real question can be answered: Are Mike and Dave bona fide Sabre Whisperers?

maybe the delay is due to the state of the art micro-usb ports?

@rlow If Fulla e is anything to go by: Yes they are.
