This on their ubistore i guess? Thanks, I'll make sure to grab it!

Yes on Uplay.

Such a nice gesture by Ubisoft! At least someone tries to give like a cool atmosphere or something. Can imagine people getting tired of the circle jerk of life & pointless stress. I am probably going to watch GOT and play Assassins Creed: Unity tonight for peace of mind!

Ok, that's a good one.

I can't fly without my comfort speaker.

The crazy AKG K240s can sound better than you expect. Do you have the Monitor or the DF? The DF is really nice.

I want a DF as I've heard exactly that about them, I've only a Monitor atm

It's a "Monitor" pair.

For sure, if someone broke in and pissed on it I would never let that go.

Good to hear! I’ll be adding an 8x10 rug soon, with a felt rug pad underneath.

What kind of rug?

It's a cheap low pile Safaveih from Amazon with a 1/4" felt/rubber rug pad. Pic: https://i.imgur.com/C33uJgS.jpg

Now your cool status has been upgrade to "Bob Dylan pretending to sing We Are The World": https://j.gifs.com/wmjNN8.gif

That's the later (and I believe longest-running) Monitor version, bit more neutral/less fun than the earlier Sextetts. Can loop some hair ties around the ends like so (you can unscrew the sliding disk to fit the band in there or just loop it around the outside): https://i.imgur.com/pFaSryS.jpg

Pads can get rock hard after awhile also, if you like the sound well enough you can still get stock replacements or Shure SRH840 pads work well (more comfortable, less mid forward, more bass)

You should tell her that today is her day and yours is one month from today ;) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steak_and_Blowjob_Day

I have informed her thusly, we shall see if it bears fruit. We had Thai tonight, it was wonderful: https://i.imgur.com/SQuIjnV.jpg

Any woman that gives you meat should be promptly married; I'm glad you're on the ball

Good thing we're not neighbours, bitching is the best case scenario. I never understood why people think it's fine to disturb others but my animal sacrifice is too much.

@m17xr2b I definitely do everything I reasonably can to not disturb the neighbor. I haven't enjoyed a movie in my home for years. The bass is set to -10, front towers are set to "small" so everything under 200hz goes to a sub that is turned off, and I'm constantly adjusting the volume to hear dialogue.

What I really mean is that I can't wait to enjoy bassy music and movies period, because I can't right now without pissing off my neighbors, which I try not to do ever.

Fuck it, had to happen eventually ;)

Well that was a fun read. Eh, I'm fan of hybrids myself but that's because my cans are weird, haha. Would love to vote in the thread but I've not heard everything on there, so I'm echoing Gaspasser on democracy XD

"Enemies most foul!" Beautifully put :D

@Hands @jexby good thing Admins are unbannable or I'd be fucked.

I like it. Simple, concise. Maybe more Randos would read this, especially if it was part of the registration process.

That blower looks to scale. Noice!

All the best to Mr and Mrs Frank. Does it mean a new job for the husband too?

Small world. I’m from Youngstown, Ohio, too. My wife is from Oak Park, just outside Detroit, and we met at UMich.

Depending on the house we buy I might be doing allot of renovation myself, so I'm not too worried about finding a job just yet.

Could only see three. Then I enlarged, and was able to see the nose of number 4. :)

@zonto haha thanks you are probably right. Maybe I'm trying to justify what I have.

@Imraan good idea about the notes I'll try that next time.

A/B switching can be useful to avoid mental distraction of making the change with cables, etc. Don't set time limits or A/B rapidly unless there is a particular sound that stands out differing. @Imraan point about perceived differences should be heeded; I've experienced this frequently as well.

I use a player with A/B repeat feature (e.g. Neutron) and listen to short song snippets in a loop. As an example, to assess timbre and detail resolution with cymbals, I listen to a 20 second snippet from Diana Krall's Boy from Ipanema, starting from 1:50

Really beautiful pics

Thank you! The early ones were taken on my Olympus E-M10 Mark II, the last half, starting with the nature center (and any from inside the Jeep) were taken with my Note 9 due to rain.

I really miss the Blue Ridge. Spent over a decade between NC and DC. So gorgeous in the Fall.
