I've been trying to tell people this since last year :)

What did you think of the bass response of SR1a?

I'll give it a more proper audition tomorrow. Today I was busy connecting their ipads to the web for tidal and debugging a bad channel, turned out to be a faulty dac after many swaps.

I'd like to bring to your attention the variety of fan edited Hobbit movies, specifically this one:

All of which do an excellent job at cutting the crap and making viewing more enjoyable as a whole, and staying more true to Tolkien's original works.

@FallingObjects Holy crap, thank you!

Very welcome! Spread the love haha

By it I meant the Verum, not the cable...

....And that I may have been 200 years too late to the party.

Yup.

I'm really happy with the ZX2 and Andros. I don't need anything else for a while.

@zerodeefex You're right. Went on a splurge last year and now suffering the consequence (of feeling like a spoiled rich kid lol). I should just save up from now on...

@Uri Cohen Yeah ZX2 with Andro is a poster child of synergy. I wish Sony would update it sometime in the future.

Is it an older model?

Mine (older one) needs the same - but only once every 2-3 months...

Edit: and with mine it's left channel, not right.

@Mr.Sneis It is, bought it almost a year ago.

And by having fun I mean working overtime in a dark, quiet office making web design together with the love of my life, Campfire Andromeda.

Noir was my favorite genre for a long time. Ever check out White Heat?

I've seen it many times, great Cagney. Also, one half of a title for a great Lou Reed song.

Don't forget 'Kiss Me Deadly', with the glowing briefcase Macguffin that Tarantino stole for 'Pulp Fiction'.

Looking forward! I have a feeling from memory the zx300 see and zx2 are more similar than the balanced to se

A drama-free period is like good health; you take it for granted when you have it, then you'd give anything to have it back.

This. So, so true.

Tax evasion huh?

I just filled out the customs form the best I could. I don't know what happened. Glad it worked out.

Tax evasion is a strong word, but yeah, somehow I didn't get taxed. Weird. Not complaining though.

Forgot to add an obsession with pee and his exactly 4 friends.

@Vtory Oh man what have I got myself into
@L'Orfeo Haha. Wait, that's me...
@manatworks In the very far future, but sure! Bring your Code-X! :P

@BillOhio Depends on how you interpret the "constant transconductance output stage."

@JustAnotherRando Exactly. I'd rather save up for a house at that age and with that money. But hey he could be filthy rich with 10 houses to spare while using real women as headphone stands so am I to judge.

Do not use real women as headphone stands. Real women sweat, have earwax, etc, just the same as real men. Use anatomically-accurate dolls. Because anatomically-accurate should have ear-shaped ears on head-shaped heads. Right?

@Grahad2 Aw, I didn't know that. Thank you for that so I can adjust my expectations. Still, anything better than Harman Kardon Nova that I'm using is welcome right now haha. And I have a small hope these will convert my bro to this hobby, so let's see. Nonetheless it's a great deal at $179.

I think most people are okay with them, so it's more of me being rather picky.

I think you're right. It does sound a bit murky in the mids from my 3-hour listening. An excellent speaker still so far!

Spent almost 3 hours at the store, listened out of iPhone 7, Samsung Note 8, and Sony ZX300 (SE).

My preference was:
Andro > Dorado > Orion > Vega > Polaris

Vega is just too bloomy bassy for my tastes, while Dorado is like a (lesser) middle child between Andro and Vega. At the price, though, it just doesn't make sense to go for it when one could just stretch a little more for Andro or Vega. Which is a shame.

MAn, that is horrible. I'm a big fan. Such a great composer.

Exactly my thoughts when I heard the news. Emotional nut punch. Ugh.

I was just listening to his Fordlandia album last night.

Me errday.
