Any SBAFers in the Virginia-ish region interested in my Dynaudio Contour 20i? Got ‘em listed elsewhere, but leery of shipping. Jul 17, 2024

      I haven't been a fan of much of their subsequent work, but damn the MFSL CD of August & Everything After is terrific (Yggdrasil > Rag > Atticus).

        Although the 45 RPM Analog remastered vinyl is crazy good too. This is the one album I own in multiple audiophile formats.

      I've owned-then-sold five $300-$800 range Planars (Audeze, HFM, Oppo, MrSp). Maybe time to say I don't like planars?

        The PM-3 is the only headphone I regret selling. It’s not the best at anything but it was extremely comfortable and made very pleasant sounds that I enjoyed.

        There's a good chance I'll give Garuspik's a chance as my next planar. They're damn sexy, which doesn't hurt their odds.

        Hey @Merrick, have you tried the HP50s? If you liked the PM3s, I think you'd also like the HP50s, which can be had much cheaper (new now for $125ish). A steal, IMO.

        @Josh83 I haven’t tried those, but I remember them being mentioned in the discussions about budget planars. Not sure I need them now, my longing for the PM-3 is more emotional than out of an actual need for them.

      My new t-shirt sez “I’m anti-treble spike, and I vote.”

        Contrary to what you may have seen on FB/twitter/etc, not all treble spikes are (ear) rapists.

      A few days into my relationship with the ZMF Atticus, and I’m already quite certain it will be a committed relationship.

      Wow! I’m a friend now?! I’d like to thank my manager, my family, and my producer, Jon Brion.

        The TLDR is that companies are using services that automatically cancel orders deemed likely of being fraud. The example in the story was a dad who bought headphones from Audeze for his son, only to find out many days later that his order had been canceled because he'd opted for fast shipping, which had trigger the fraud service to cancel it.

      I’ve been on a low dose of a tricyclic for years due to a back fracture. Two weeks off and my mild tinnitus is almost gone! Wow!

        As an update, what’s odd is that the *volume* is clearly lower. But since the tone has also changed, it’s somewhat more noticeable right now. I’m hoping that will change as my brain gets used to it. Plus, I’m going to have to try a new medication for my back, since that’s never going away. TLDR, anyone taking medication that messes with neurotransmitters should pay attention to how it affects your hearing.

      Has anyone experienced closed headphones making your ears feel congested after long use? I swear EL-8s Titaniums are doing this to me.

        Nearly all closed headphones get a little hot after a while, just one their things.

        I’m used to hot. But these EL8Ts create some kind of suction, at least on my head, that actually makes my ears pop when swallowing after wearing them for a while. Weird.

        The AFO does this to me sometimes, and it's an open headphone. The suction-type seal is the reason, I think.
