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 :)

I used to know it and fuss about it, then i found dirac and let that sort it out. Good times, just music.

Frequencies don't matter, it's all the fuses...

Get a Gothic cathedral as a living room, no more problems. Try it, only takes a few decades to build.

These are the exception. I keep my spare pair for a reason. (Fuck I am really obsessed with back-up systems...)

back-up systems... I do wonder when I see people say things like "thinking of getting this as a back-up amp."

What? I think I've had two amplifier failures in forty years.

Ain't got no speakers, ain't got no headphones,
Ain't got no records to play…

Hopefully no wartime either. Enjoy!

@FallingObjects thanks a lot!, this was very helpful.

Found my current mattress from a retailer vetted by The Mattress Underground, I agree it’s a spectacular resource.

Went to a hole in the wall little mattress store by the local airport and got a great full size mattress for $325 delivered. Same mattress in a "normal" store was ~$900.

‘Game of Lobes’ themed?

Star Trek iem. I’m into industrial design. I like CA iems and Gaudio isn’t bad either.

Wasn't going to risk the original Solaris on the subway, it's bad enough when they steal your kicks

That /is/ sad. So sad that I don't even find it hot. Wouldn't want her in my bathtub.

cf that gorgeous young drummer girl.

@Thad E Ginathom Exactly. If I wanted something sexy I will go straight to the stuff, but not this pathetic sad method. I can't even imagine people drooling over this cringe shit.

i used to check ebay-kleinanzeigen and hifi-forum.de when i lived in Germany, or marktplaats and hifi.nl for the Netherlands but its simpler to use hifishark, it compiles all these listings together if you filter by EU
