NAD's are usually pretty solid.

For the price it better be decent

Thanks for asking, but I'm gutted to say I couldn't make the show :-(. In the middle of a divorce and house move & just couldn't make it work.

Suicide. =( RIP

Damn. R.I.P.

RIP

I've just stuck with Firefox for the past 18 years or so. Until death do us part.

I've flipped between FF and Chrome over the years. Both have been total resource hogs on & off, but lately Chrome has been causing various issue for me so it's off to FF I go (again!).

I changed to Pale Moon because I wasn't going to put up with firefox [Mozilla] changing my browser of decades whether I liked it or not.

Which I didn't.

I lost track of Conor Oberst, it’s good to see something new from him

Nice. Have enjoyed Phoebe Bridgers solo work, and her collaboration with Julian Baker.

Thanks for the heads up. Booked two tickets! Wife (and me) happy :-)

My 4yo has the lurgy right now. I'm desperately tring to avoid the inevitable point-blank sneeze in the face.

@pedalhead "As with most 4-yr-old (humans!) she's an infection factory"

Worse to come. When they go to school they become multi-brand infection distributors!

So true. Fortunately, mine are 12 & 9 so mostly over the disease distributing...I hope!

Same here. It's a bit of a leap of faith tbh as I haven't heard the SE, and as you say, the impressions out there are... curious. At least I'll be getting a new 3 year warranty with this pair, worth its weight in gold for HFM cans :-)

What’s the warranty experience like from here in the UK? Had it expired, or were they a used purchase?

Many a time have I wanted one of their hps but was put off by their rep.

My situation isn't typical tbh as I'm friends with the Hifiman chap & we've done meets together & stuff. I bought my (now) faulty v2 used, so ordinarily I think wouldn't be covered under warranty. I have heard that HFM are in general pretty accommodating when it comes to warranty stuff though.

Yep, those are the bastards.

Your NHS has some useful information for you:

Especially "avoid being outside when it's cold or damp." Hmmm. Better emigrate then!

Curious, about not warming up too fast. My parents told me that, and, of course, they were right. Too late for me to tell them. But hey, they were wrong about lots of other stuff!

Yeah, because when I've been out on the bike for a few hours & I'm freezing, I really want to wait ages before warming up my hands :-). Funnily enough, it's not just biking. I'm a bit of a tightwad, and working from home in the winter I generally leave the heating off, so get cold hands a lot. Tend to use the First Watt F7 as a hand-warmer rather than the central heating :-).

Ohhh i’ve been eyeing a pair , is it power hungry?

Surprisingly not. I know Dynaudios have a rep for being tough to drive, but these are pretty middle of the road in that regard ime. 70wpc Conrad Johnson power amp with a passive pre drives them very well in my approx 14' x 23' room.

Listening to a Warp title as I read this, Nightmares on Wax Carboot Soul!

I know it's nerdy, but I love the end of year "best album" lists, both from folks on here and from various music sites. Great way to find music I missed, and interesting to see what people think.

I'm totally out of touch, so the more the better is all good for me.

Vox does some cool music stuff. I also enjoyed this one: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=p_IHotHxIl8

Yes, probably my fav RH album so that was a good one. Apparently there are two more jazz videos coming from Vox soon.

I broke up my tidy stack yesterday so I could use my Gungnir Multibit as a hand warmer.

The rest of my office is kinda screwed because the thermostat is in my office, along with dozens of heat-generating components. So either I live in a sweat lodge or they just have to layer up.

I made the mistake of purchasing a Hifiman once. #neveragain. Especially at these prices.

Sadly, I enjoy the house sound. Don't like the prices though :-(

HE1000SE=3.5k, HE6SE=1.8k

Lol, almost making me want to break out my bike again.

Come to Scotland sometime, it's exactly the same only wetter ;)

haha yep I've raced a lot in Scotland. Love it!

Excellent! Pleased to hear it :-)
