Then, listen the same radio though my quality rigs and get annoyed as hell. There really isn't one to rule them all.

It means there was something better to do

Gotta love SB Acoustics (and simple crossovers), but at the risk of repeating myself...damn, he really has the worst taste ever for wood veneers.

I have had some lewd IEM's, maybe even perverted, but never slutty. Lucky you!

My top picks: DMG Audio EQuick, Waves EQ collections, ProQ and Electri-q.

@BenjaminBore the TDR Nova is solid. Thanks! I don't know if it's linear phase or what it is, but it doesn't offend too much.

I wouldn’t call it transparent, but for the price of free it’s damn good.

Where do you guys work to enjoy open back headphones? *Crying in my open space office*.

There isn’t hd800 in amazon USA anymore. Some units are in Japan dealers costing 2k. RIP

I have an open office, too. Nobody either gives a shit or is too afraid to confront me, hahaha. I know my close (nginjeer friends) neighbors don't mind. Mostly people point at the EC stack and ask 'what the hell is that?' or 'Is it for retro looks?' - these sort of reactions.

Me thinks the inductor should short DC from the tweeter, so most of it will be burned in R1. I'm surprised too however. Those are very low order filters. The 18WE woofer seems to be running 2.5 way with the 21WE. Which in turn are running something like 2.5 with the 32WE? Maybe call that 2.75? Who knows. He seemed hell bend to avoid caps.

Ran some numbers. Inductor and tweeter are likely 0.2ohm and 3ohm at DC. Padded with an 8ohm resistor and a DC offset of 1V, it would give 24mV across the tweeter. Probably fine.

LOL! You have a good point. I expect about -28.7 dB DC drop across the tweeter relative to DC input power. A capacitor might help there indeed. It's not great, but perhaps not catastrophic. Ironic that many times folks avoid capacitors because of distortion.

This is actually how I felt when interacting for the first time in Changstar. Just like hitting on a hot woman in a pub in my early 20's. Anax was that 9.5 outa 10 hot chick I approached, haha!

Boy, I'm not sure how that analogy would suit him.

Anax was the loud-mouthed guy in the bar that one tried to get as far away from as possible. And hey, some of us get by here on SBAF even though we are deaf!

That 1.5k dip tho... It might not be annoying, but it’s the worst place to have it. I would have chosen a different midrange.

Surprisingly not so much to chose from, if one desires well behaved fr, all the motor tech and still have reasonable eff.

True. I have a hard time finding a better mid than Scanny 12mu. Not cheap, but not ATC money either and much reasonable passband.

You just need to add a treble tilt to your speakers!

It's the kind of veil that can't be undone. The lack of live kind of veil.

Funny, I have noticed the same. I tuned my speakers for the receiver(Cirrus Dac). Tried then with AKM Dac, way to bright.

Sounds almost too good to be true because it solves nearly everything, but I really hope they can make it work. Carbon stuff aside even, a reliable source of fuel that doesn't come from volatile parts of the world so if someone farts the wrong way the price doesn't go up 50 cents a gallon sounds amazing.

With brute force almost everything is possible. Key here is the 'dumb' power nuclear plants make in the night time and renewables can make a lot more than the grid can use in fortunate conditions.

It is amazing in its simplicity and people need to be dumping money into this like now.

Sounds like you have all the motivation you need. Hope you get some time soon!

Audiopilia can become a bit of a curse once you can no longer not hear why everything else is so bad.

God, those things were culty. People were so gutted when they went away..

Probably have to replace the battery at some point.

Keep mine in my gym bag and it's still running strong. Battery is holding up surprisingly well too. Mine's probably 10 years old.

We're penis cunts.

Aaaarrrrrgghhhh... WTF?

Only some abbreviations are acronyms. The rest are... abbreviations.

Lots of dumb comments on this linked thread but this is an important post: https://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?p=19265680&sid=6844f67b8d95886b320633e1bb3c2814#p19265680

As long as it doesn't make the system unstable.

More importantly output from guitar amp is no-no to headphone out after that. I presume this is why the Steinberg pos had 90 ohms there.
