"Thus, the new earpads are within 1dB of the old earpads" OH HERE COMES THE NERVOUSA

I WAS considering getting my quite-basically flat HD600 pads swapped out but......... no I think I'll hold onto them. Headband may warrant a swap though.

Quick aside: anywhere I can get just the one plastic tab to hold the silly thing in place?

At least we get a warning and not a silent change I guess.

Looks like meat’s back on the menu, boys!

Dang! You need a varmint rifle!

Does it have Jazz hands?

I am lucky if people my age in NL get their vaccine in June. NL is lagging behind and trust in the vaccination is wavering. Take care.

I return, Saturday I was feeling fine most of the day. Had dinner with the family, played some video games but started to get a headache. Trying to sleep Saturday was miserable since I think a raccoon got into the attic and was making a ton of noise. Barely slept at all.

Sunday I had a splitting headache all day, really bed ridden and miserable. Took a rather high dose edible to even try to fall asleep at night.

Monday, little bit of lingering head pain, took the day off work to rest a little more. But mid day I was at least feeling 90% strength and was actually able to get out of bed.

I got Moderna and so did most of the family, my mom was out with similar symptoms after her second dose also but hers lasted a few more days than mine. Overall glad to have gotten the vaccination out of the way.

Shopify was cool, I had the email logs and the dude literally did a chargeback the day after I refunded him. They ruled in our favor almost immediately in our favor.

86% of people who bite my butt at work are those whom I do a favor to. Stopped doing favors since I realized that...

Where do these shitty behavious originate from? It is a side effect of Amazon's 'customer is never wrong' approach to retail? I never used to read about people doing habitual returns or being hostile toward businesses like this. The only charge back I've ever enacted was because an entire discography of CDs was never sent, the band refused to talk to me and I had one day left to do something about it.

Lol. Smart choice (and the only logical one really, my suggestion was a joke). Unless of course it were to escalate, in which case, just report to police.

Also, two more things I can see. He is using his school email which I looked up and it is primary school in Sweden so he really is young. Also it has his full first and last name which is... Very Swedish and statistically speaking very unlikely he is black!

Could be a hacked email account as well.

So what you are going to do?

Congrats!

@YMO Will be a part of their CS team along with the Content team. Looking forward to it

... Soon where I will be going but decided to take a little time off for now. Been working nonstop since January 2020 so wanted to spend some time resting. I will still be involved in the headphone biz!

Good luck with your new adventure!

Best wishes on your new adventure. I look forward to hearing where you go next.

This was on Christmas Eve and had to get towed back to my house. Upshot at least was my package I was picking up was a PS5!

Damn that sucks about your car.

Oh dang man! That does suck. Threw a rod or valve maybe?

Ouchy.... that's not what you want to see on a $900 item...

I've been loving my gen 4 m.2, load times in older games like Skyrim are so fast you can't even read the tips.

Newegg has been doing bundles to beat bots so I had to buy the m.2 to get the cpu. I considered returning it since the 2tb was so expensive but decided to keep it. Build is going to be pretty overkill for my needs lol.

I am excited for this round. I like what Dr. Lisa Su has pulled off.

That being said, I am prob going to step up my 3080 to a 3080 ti when those launch and sit on it for a couple of generations like my 1080ti

Going the same route. Snatched a 3080 FWT3 Ultra and gonna step up to a TI or 3090. Also much cheaper than going full retail.

The amd gpus are pretty good, I think after using the 3080 fe for a little bit now, I want to probably get a quieter card in the future. No rush for me, maybe a 3080ti but not sure totally just yet. Will see how the benchmarks compare on the ti.

We have got two of those in the acoustics lab at my college, along with a lot of other b&k stuff.

I am considering if I go from 3700x > 5600x/5900x but I am not sure I'll see a benefit at 3440x1440 and I don't need the cores for workloads.

I didn't try the Sayl when I was at the HM dealer, kinda regret not doing so for mostly curiosity sake. I honestly bought the 5900X as a knee jerk reaction when BH had the orders up a night before launch. Couldn't really justify the 5950X for my uses and thought I should do a little overkill. Realistically, I probably would have been fine with a 5800X as an upgrade over my i7 7700k

Uhh, for mostly gaming and productivity workloads, I think 5600x is where it's at.

Nvidia will release a 3080 Ti with 16 gigs to compete. Gonna pick up a 6900xt if I can get one. This explains the announcement today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy-tubbJ2Vo

Hmm. So I have a GSync monitor with max refresh rate of 120. If the new AMD card can let me hit that 120, will Gsync matter? I honestly don't know how much impact it has had on my gaming.

AMD cards look pretty decent, they benchmarks they showed looked good but should take them with a grain of salt like always.

@Melvillian Expecting them likely Q1 2021 for the higher vram cards personally. Some 3080/90 dropped today on Best Buy and they sold out quite quickly. Demand will be high all around for a while.

Final distro said his son heard it and really liked them but wasn't too descriptive past that. I will try to measure them on some EARS but would need to figure out how to on a TWS lol.

Probably just need to run them BT from my laptop.

Any updates? I'm strongly tempted to try to find a pair because 23/24 years ago I was a nerd into this stuff.

No updates yet, A46 did go live with it: https://audio46.com/products/final-audio-evatw06-true-wireless?variant=36397160497308

I know some people will ask questions they sort of know the answer to just to make sure they know what they're doing, are on the right track, etc.

That or I've noticed some old people legit enjoy trolling after having to take life serious for so long.

I've had many customers 'test' me by asking questions they already know the answer to. I feel like I'm a dancing monkey sometimes. Playing dumb frustrates the heck out of me, I left the entertainment industry behind for a reason. Sometimes its good natured, other times TROLLS

I get a pretty good sense when talking to customers how well versed they are. Sometimes it is indeed an older customer wanting someone to share their passion of audio with.

I do periodically get calls from people who are kinda amazed there is someone with the same amount of interest in the hobby.

@Melvillian Yeah I saw that video. I do think that the hype for this card is a little overblown. It really isn't double an RTX 2080. And it's still 800 dollars, which isn't pocket change.

The GamerNexus video was pretty good and I understand where they are coming from. Still disappointed I wasn't able to snag a 3080 at launch to upgrade my 1080ti but that's life. I got an order placed on Adorama for a card but it is backordered and I have no ETA.

Glad I didn't instantly dump my 1080ti earlier this month when I decided I was going to cop a 3080.

I left a comment about how nvidia has conditioned everyone into thinking $700+ for a video card is a bargain.

@netforce I have a 1080 and really want to upgrade as well. I’ve been dying to play some games like control with the ray tracing on
