My mouse pointer is hovering over that B-stock buy button :) But yeah, just thought I'd check to see if I got lucky here

the flesh is weak; b-stock unit inbound

Could a good deal

In my British youth, "Tannoy" was the more usual way of referring to PA systems. I think it was on a railway station that I asked my dad why it was called that.

Tannoy was the original PA speaker across the UK. Same as how most Americans call all tissues 'Kleenex'

Brits have Kleenex too. I used to buy "Man Size." I bet they've changed that now!

ha! was just about to ask/post the same info about CA Supermoon!

Useless if they tune it with their standard overboard on the bass tuning.

Aria cable has nylon sheathing. XINHS store can make that cheapest. They will customize if you chat with them in the Ali app.

Nylon sheathing can accentuate sounds of it rubbing against clothes.

I like Yinyoo cables for cheap cables. XINHS probably makes those too. I’ve been happy with my customized XINHS cables too.

how's the soundstage

Good low end :)

So is this the same as The Gadget tuning to C=256Hz? Whatever happened to it anyway?

Have heard this for years, always wondered about the validity of it. Anecdotally, orchestral and some other instruments tuned around 440Hz have always sounded sharp or otherwise off to me even if my intonation isn't the greatest.

Then I found out that even 100 years or so ago each city or region actually tuned to different frequencies and some places really did prefer 432Hz A...

I discussed the 432/440Hz idea with some orchestral musicians who found it a ridiculous simplification. Apparently different orchestras tune differently - we're not in a 440Hz world at all. Some conductors even have their orchestras drift in tuning during a performance.

You’ll probably need to order directly from Hasu

The good feeling of oneness with cup rubber will be mine again

Do enjoy, very nice keyboards from Leopold. Funny I just sold my Leopold 660 w mx browns, back to pure rubber goodness w/Logitech K120, haha.

Lol. A time dilation machine, even

You will not want to return them. I've been comparing them to Kato for the last 24 hours and I'm all in on Timeless.

@Azimuth breathing intensifies :)

The Crystal is slightly firmer, more rigid. It's less pliant and flexible than the Xelastec. The Crystal keeps its shape better; it doesn't fold over on itself like the Xelastec does: https://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/iem-general-discussion-thread.424/page-77#post-319368

Cool. I like the xelastec and it keeps my Sony TWS in my ears but when I take them out one bud always stays in my ear as the stem slips out.

Yeah, the Crystal is even stickier/grippier, I take mine out with care, especially out of fear of a sudden pressure change (that might just be me being paranoid)

Oh nice. G10 and that Oneplus seem like they fit the sweet spot i'm looking for!

The V40 sounds great from its own headphone output. If you have no plan to use that, then I would suggest go for a newer model like the OnePlus or Nokia that still has software support.

Thx @bixby and @Poleepkwa . G7 on the list of possibilities now too :)

Hope it works out! Sometimes i feel spoiled by digital crossovers when i look at the work you have to do when going passive. But no free lunch in audio i can of course see the merits of fully passive.

Yeah, it's about $60 in parts to just try out a new XO. :)

Get some fancy trim for your audiophile parts bin!

This is the way.

And amp is only as good as the power supply. Sometimes.

Did try try and backup and restore?

Actually did a complete wipe and reinstall. Same problem with Airplay returned

File a ticket with Apple

I'm guessing they take a percentage on each sale, rather like Stripe, etc. If they can negotiate xx% lower fees from USPS/UPS then they can still offer their users a discount over retail and make money. I think??? :)

I have no idea @Boops other than they seem to be connected with Pitney Bowes somehow.

@Boops I have been using them for a while now for all my shipping. I haven’t found a catch yet. Highly recommended!

If you are using cloud storage then it is ok. The only real time the storage will be an issue if you are loading it up with so much comics. For general purpose stuff Boox almost covers all of your bases.

Almost forgot, e-ink displays will have slower refresh rates. Give it time to load up the information on your screen. I believe Boox can also allow you to customize the screen refresh of an app so it can get rid of ghosting. Youtube should be your friend.

I started salivating over their 27" e-ink display. :) But then realized that $1.8k display wouldn't get all that much usage for me. Better would be a tablet with the same (portrait orientation) height as my LCD 27" display that could switch between tablet mode and external display mode, with a quick-mount stand to operate as a vertical sidecar display. That would be suhweet.

His recording with the Addicts Rehabilitation Center (ARC) Choir singing "Walk With Me" appears in Kanye West's 2004 hit "Jesus Walks." Sprey said he earned enough royalties from the West song "to support 30 of my money-losing jazz albums."

I do like my Dennis-modded B22's for desktop use, but haven't heard any of his other designs.

- Mids are where the music lives, but those BMR drivers are underwhelming, especially side-by-side with a RAAL tweeter.
- Very low efficiency + complex crossovers aren't my favorite combo.
- What quality of bass down to 20-25hz can you possibly expect from 8" woofers?

One of the most important design goals of a driver is to make it as light as possible. BMR drivers have weights added to them to work properly. I'm not a fan.

I understand that Dennis prioritizes dispersion, so I get his love of BMRs, but at what cost?
