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?

Very cool. I used to run my first fanless system bare on my desk, just mounted to a lian li motherboard tray. The one cat at the time was careful not to step on it. An increase in the number of house cats and their habits quickly necessitated a case. The dust and fur will waft no matter what. Prepare to buy an anti-static (esd safe) brush for cleaning. Good luck ;)

Huh, so maybe you *can* dissipate the heat of a 125W TDP chip with passive cooling! https://www.reddit.com/r/sffpc/comments/oh7eo4/fell_in_love_with_this_passive_cooler_gaming_rig/

Went with the NH-P1 (and the NF-A12x25 fan just in case). As Amos says before the Thoth Station battle... this should be interesting.

Oh! I forgot to photograph the 55 gallon drum with the Fostex FW800HS!

OK, this system sounds like what I wanted it to: fun as hell. Need an amp with better synergy w/the horns, but 7 Nation Army cranked up sounds like there's a full size drum kit 6 feet away.

That sounds awesome!

I've got the fever for the flavor of... ChiFi sound? :)

I wondered if it meant something along the lines of hot, high temp, as in "hot stuff" meaning good, or great. I'm really not sure.

You have too little fever? Add more fever tweeters.

This shit’s gonna haunt my nightmares.

When I was in high school my neighbor gave me his old console phonograph set. The big wooden kind. Had two 6x9 and in that big cabinet space they would kick out some serious bass. I remember though using them to experiment with them putting the speakers in shoe boxes just to see how it changed the sound.

@Gazny Thank you. I'm going to give that a try. @bixby I should have mentioned that the sound output from the device is fine, the crackling from the sample rate mismatch is on the input (external mic used for Zoom calls). I'll let ya know if the driver upgrade helps.

Grrr. Driver update did not fix.

I'm not sure yet, but early results are promising: uninstalling the MOTU driver and just letting Windows supply more basic drivers may have resolved this.

Looks like something off our GE range. Glad it is working for you!

Holy Schiit! It was destiny!

Just joined the chickenhead club. Thanks!

@fraggler not without a splitter on the output (to feed 2 amps), so may as well just use a Sys that way. @Biodegraded at that price point I'd consider getting a second Modi Multibit instead and use some MiniDSP stuff I've got lying around to do crossover and volume control in the digital domain. :) Shuolda got the Nano Patch when it was like $50, which feels like the right price for what it is.

I had been looking for a nanopatch on Amazon for a few months and finally snagged one about a month ago but promptly returned it bc it had very bad channel imbalance for 80%-90% of the range. Haven’t seen it in stock since. Just using a Sys instead.

The solution for now: RCA splitters on the Sys plus a chicken head knob to make adjusting the volume less fiddly.

The opposite. Had an epic dump that just needed to come out but the body wasn't willing. Once I let the load go I felt like I had been running a marathon.

Are we about to have a thread started that is literally all shitposts?

The OP was just a quote from Glengarry Glen Ross, but now I'm kind of hoping it becomes an epic shitthread. :)
