My wife wanted us to sell our Maggies when we had our daughter. Instead, even as a baby I would take her on tours around the house and tell her what things were, what they did, and whether she could touch them. Worst we’ve had is touching the TV glass as a young toddler. Is this your first kid?

Same with my 2ch system but when I am about to travel :)

Haha…making sacrifice is what parents do. This is first chapter of parenting. Welcome to the club

I listen to my vanatoos at my desk (supported by mpingo feet and shamwow grills) for a few hours a day almost every day. I do wonder why I put thousands and thousands of $ into another system I hardly listen to

@k4rstar pics or it didn't happen. Gotta see the shamwow grills. :)

this was step 4 towards transforming the sound of the vanatoos from 'computer speakers' to 'legendary music makers'. I will write an article on it when the journey is complete.

Hi-Fi Plus has MQA (nope) and some direct artist payment scheme. I think I’ll just keep my $10/month and buy something on Bandcamp instead to support the artists I prefer. And no way in hell I’m paying for MQA (although I’m sure even their HiFi tier is probably just CD quality wrapped in MQA anyhow, but at least I’m not paying extra for it.). Plan is now “downgraded” to Hi-Fi.

Hoping Qobuz will come to Canada soon.

I've had the feeling for a while that Tidals days are numbered, and this may be further evidence suggesting that. I don't wish tidal itself any ill will, but MQA can gtfo imo. I've been using apple lossless, and whilst the interface bugs out sometimes, its been overall a solid experience. When spotify lossless happens, I might migrate back to it simply for its music discovery.

If I could give you more likes for the first piece of advice you gave me I would <3

@Gazny what was that? I don’t recall. Was it, don’t care about likes or dislikes?? Lol

Likewise.

450g vs 260g. Neck loading increased by nearly 100%. If using the original cables that also is a heavy neck load. Switch to something like Custom Cans to relieve the load.

Yep, I used to wear my HD6XX for 7+ hours at work, then come home and wear my HD650 for a couple more and never had a problem, despite having neck pain issues in general.

I’m hoping I will eventually build up some strength in my neck muscles to handle it, because at this point I am finding the Elex far more engaging and to my taste than the 650s (stock).

For the same season a 2C52 is the best sounding in my Kenzie Ovation; you can’t get low noise floor and dynamics due to gain at the same time in tubes?

Somewhat pop-y and overproduced, but still enjoyable.

Yeah, those are definitely two different sounding cans.

In terms of FR, I think they are more like the hd600 than the 650, with bonus freqs at each end.

@spwath, his over use of ululating female voices has always bugged me, and when it comes to actual themes, he's vastly inferior to Williams and Horner. On the positive side I think he comes up with some epic musical sound effects.

Yes @Mithrandir41 but is he trying to be a Williams or Horner? He's sort of like a blues man, who plays the same 12 bar progression over and over and over...but is good at it.

@crenca, I just think he's overrated in general. If others like him, it's all good.

Will be used with Lyr 3, Modi Multibit and Pi2AES.

Elex are good cans. In the right system though, "Senn veil" doesn't exist.

True story, I dropped one of them outside last year while I was doing work on my shed, and it stayed there on the ground all winter (including under snow). Found it in the spring and it worked great! Sony WF-1000xm3

Those little shits like to roll off into the most inconvenient places.

People have to actuslly experience real life like it is lol. Im glad all those aspiring social influencers get a taste of real life lol.

Its a good thing it happened in the wee hours of the morning in my time zone, or I'd be a little annoyed that the ads I've been paying for stopped running.

I was not even aware it was down until it was close to bedtime.

Wondering if you like one over the other, or both. They do share a lot of close DNAs by nature. Lyr 3 - Tube gain + Nexus + Jason's secret source updated = Jot 2.

Wow. Just checked HP.. and upgrades take 12-16 weeks and new orders take 4-6 weeks.

Oh Schiit!

Guess should have grabbed them when marv said so lol

shouldn't your kids eat... food?

This is the food for his mind/soul.

Would like to know what tracks caused him to bring it up and dribble it down his front?

What, no colored vinyl? How dare they.

$60 for the standard vinyl... I like Radiohead well enough, that's a bit of an oof.

@insidious meme The colored vinyl is there on the main website... for $120.

Also, why are cassettes still a thing? Why?

I blacked out when I saw the announcement and woke up an hour later with like $300 less in my bank account.

Subscribed. Thank you

Hang on. Let me try again at counting my legs. Oh wait, that was before I went gelatinoid.

Thankfully, due to the vaccination, I've now got tin ears.

Better than cauliflower ears.
