Idk. But before members signatures cluttered the view.

That's curious, I don't think I ever saw signatures in mobile so had to enable desktop mode on my phone when I wanted to see if anyone listed their gear there. Any chance you've been using desktop mode on your mobile and just enabled actual mobile layouts somehow?

No I am always on the mobile version. But it seems like the signatureless layout was always there and I forgot about it.

I had some memory loss and delusions in the last week due to sever dehydration thanks to a bad tonsil infection, so that explains it.
I'm much better now btw and sorry for the noise :D.

My bald head is 4.5 stars. A slight peak in the middle but the daily razor shave keeps it smooth and ultimately very pleasing.

Ravi's Head: 4.5 stars. Pros: Smooth, chocolatey midrange. Cons: Slightly grainy stubble at either end of the R-Head's spectrum.

But @nishan99 I come to SBAF for the judgement. :)

Neither do I. I just started with speakers and my tinnitus does not allow me the use of headphones and yes some people find our living room spooky because of the acoustics and the absorbers

TIL there's a difference between ski jumping and ski flying

Imagine paying $600 over HD800S retail price for a piece of glass and different finish.

I took them a while since first announced. I find I hit dislike 95% more now that the number is not there. It was supposed to have the opposite effect of not piling on, haha.

On the positive note, that really nasty guy "you don't need to hear.." will now be getting zero user feedback.

Better that than buyer's remorse :)

That is an interesting test to apply to purchases: "Will I still want this thing if it takes 8-12 weeks (or more) to be delivered?"

That's not a thought experiment, that's called "living in Australia"

@rhythmdevils You really need to watch this trailer LOL. https://youtu.be/SjvVYuTTUFw

This TBH.

Oh, FFS. orfas gonna orfas!

I'm waiting for Meze to release a <$500 planar

For at least a decade, whatever I delight in is the only thing of its kind to be discontinued. This would upset me, till a few months ago. I came to understand that it's enough to have enjoyed the thing whilst it lasted.

Depends on the item. Some easy. Some not possible.

Be careful, rewiring is only possible if the mains transformer isn't hard specified for a certain voltage. Some items require complete disassembly to reach the rectifier bridge area, others are just a jumper, do your research on each item.

My 110V Vali2 runs great off 240V mains via a $20 ebay step-down transformer.

totally agreed! it's also one of those shows that gets better on the rewatch I think

Their portable dac/amp sounded pretty fantastic when I heard my friend's. Unfortunately, they broke after a little over a year of lighter use :(. That said, I think he and I both agreed it was still worth it.

(That said, if I were in the market for a portable dac/amp, I'd get a mojo again no questions asked)

My friggen' wallet is what they are cookin' I would love a LCD-1 closed back with ANC and other neat-o dsp tricks. A day-to-day headphone.

LCD-5, new design, lighter, new driver

50% chance of failing before 48 hours before we replace it with a worse sounding one

@rhythmdevils As much as I dislike the price I hope it's worth it. Audiophiles should purge the BA and estat shit, at least Dunu is trying to innovate and not just slap some off the shelf fake sounding drivers.

Dunu and Moondrop are two of the better in-ear manufacturers out there. Dunu just needs to keep adapting a bit more to Western tastes. They are getting closer.

I'm sick of reading about "advanced technology" on every new headphone that comes out, and then they all sound like the same old garbage. My toothpaste has more advanced technology than most headphones. Advanced foaming technology.https://www.nature.com/articles/sj.bdj.2012.242

@purr1n it's a new tin age of meh-sounding high-ish end dynamic driver iems. Loaner please.

@rhythmdevils check out
nanohydroxyapatite toothpastes. Apaguard is a main one. They work better to strengthen enamel than fluoride toothpastes and fluoride has been found to reduce IQ in children who mothers used fluoride when pregnant.

Twas always going to be a disaster. The only people helped by our presence there are the Taliban themselves. Expensive and stupid.

Get a Lelit Bianca instead. The paddle provides infinite possibilities ...

@gixxerwimp It's impressive indeed but unfortunately it also too ugly to my taste. From the design to the screen to the wood accents.

I thought it a bit fugly at first, but it's not as bad IRL, and has grown on me. And you can get the knobs in black.

That's gotta be rough. I hope you're cultivating your inner Lebowski.

@Wilson I do indeed abide :)
