Mr.Sneis

I've been to Audio Sanctuary and got my HD800 pads/band there. It's a lovely shop!

But my HD800 headband is totally flat and hard again. Very poor.

I put the suede pilot pad from zmf on all my Senns headbands and take the stock foam out. So comfy

I'm wondering about gluing an hd600 padding to my old HD800. I'm yet to measure it, but suspect it might be a little too long. I got some third-party padding for my hd600, but can't find a similar alternative for the hd800 available here.

The USPS has also tried relentlessly to expand its services to stay modern and relevant. When Kinkos stores were a big thing the USPS proposed adding similar services to compete including computers with internet for public use but it was stopped by DC.

USPS is the only entity in the world with the prepaid pension provision. And yet they managed. Now certain parties would like to privatize the USPS and raid the pension fund because it is so HUGE.

Jesus these guys have no shame. A private postal service would likely charge 5$ to mail a letter. And would mean no more competition in the mail service. No, ups vs fedex is not competition. Prices would skyrocket for shipping costs of all kinds. How would that affect the economy????

Site tellin you not to sell your gear, lol.

I tried more times than I would like to admit on seeing what was for sale.

Fixed, thanks Mods!

I demoed one at the Sony store. It has quite dipped upper Mids, all the way from 1k to 4.3k was dipped quite a bit. Had a big dip from 3.5-4.1k which made it sound quite soft. Bass extention was not all that great only going down to about 34hz before dropping off a lot. Highs were quite nice and smooth with some extra energy at 8k and 10k but not irritating.

It kind of reminds me of this but worse: https://www.motor1.com/news/61927/concept-we-forgot-lamborghini-athon/

I want the the automatic turret and missile launcher option so I can play Twisted Metal in real life. Looks like a rejected Delorean concept art.

I’m printing that article for prosperity. Been a long long time since I read a truly critical review by J.A. Edit-M.F.

Its actually Mikey Fremer

If there's any doubt at all, you'd be right to wash your hands clean of this. Definitely reeks, so even if they're legit you can't be blamed for exercising caution

where abouts in VA? Local yocal SBAF could act as third party, inspect packaging etc prior to ship.

Today I asked him to delay until he's back in town. He got back and said the friend is a trusted audio guy too which made me feel a lot better. At this point it's wait, see, pray lol!

Parasound dac1600, it's going into a vintage integrated amp and a hp amp via balanced. Have tried both headroom and ecp dsha1and even 2 int amps with same issues.

Unbalanced: 3 V nominal, 600 Ω // Balanced: 6 V nominal, 1.2 k Ω

Sounds like a nice DAC. Impedance is on the higher side.

I would just go with something like this https://www.adorama.com/sesxlrab.html
plus XLRF-to-RCA cable for your HP amp. At least it's relatively cheap to try.

Was emailing with ECP Doug and we determined it seems like the DAC has really high voltage out but is not producing enough current. I need to re-investigate maybe making pads/attenuators again, made some but divided too much voltage in the end. That switch would work but $100 worth for a DAC that is on a good day worth $400 :)

I could buy a turntable with that money :)

That guy is Luckbad but loaded with money. This is his page on a local sales website: https://carousell.com/joeyjoe26/

Electronic engineers' secret: the current flowing to your headphones doesn't know how much the conductor cost ;)

CA residents that want to avoid shipping can buy my Classic 3 for about the same fyi etc etc

I know you were on the fence about yours ;)

I thought I was the only one who'd made such a mistake.. I was under the impression my MacBook audio stack was busted for a year until I rediscovered the "Play as mono" accessibility setting.

I bought a few Miles Davis mono reissues from Record Store Day about 2012. Vivid reverb that filled the room. I was pretty shocked. Sketches of Spain imaged extremely well with all those players at once.

I know the reason why I originally flipped the switch, it was due to scooping a Mono record that I can't even recall anymore. For the life of me I probably only own 3 or so mono albums, I don't go out of my way to get them usually due to price/scarcity. Makes me wonder if I made any false judgment calls on that SQ for other records or gear. Can't say I could complain those 6 months at least!

I am going to ignore this thing for now. The moment Ego-ye can flow like Rakim or Nas and be nice, yeah then I buy his albums. He claims prizes and begs for money while ejaculating to bring revelations to us all. f'ing hell no!

Remember when Kanye was just some producer who kept his mouth shut and made kinda nice soul-inflected beats? That didn't last long.

Yeah, I still have mine laying around. I think its a decent table for the money, but the step between my old Project Debut Carbon and the TT15 was much smaller than between the TT15 and by Classic Signature. What preamp are you running with it?

Phonomena ii, with the virtuoso cart it's like blanket over the speakers bad. I swappend in at33ptg/ii and it greatly improved (alignment is it even possible? ?) The ergonomics of this table are kind of frustrating though.

There are some weird things going on on ebay. Lots of audio stuff is way over MSRP. I wonder if they're just hoping some dope buys it... Or is there some other kind of scam going on. not sure.

I think with the Gungnir in particular there was a metal shortage so their production is behind. Now they have gotten scarce fast; I guess it makes sense the law of scarcity and incredibly high demand? I remember seeing Gungnir Multibit's going for as low as $900 (mikek200) not too long ago but, $850 shipped for a used non-mb is just insanity.

Lol I saw that too, I guess I still have an alert up from 2015 when I was in the market
