Your post prompted me to poke around on the local CL. Check out this bad boy: https://albuquerque.craigslist.org/ele/d/albuquerque-yamaha-2200-power-amplifier/7135059854.html

Going from memory but I think those might be the really expensive (10k?) speakers that Stereophile jizzed over back in the early 90's....or maybe a close relative

They look a lot like a set they sold at The Wiz a bunch of years ago ('90's or so). I wasn't anywhere near as informed as now, but IIRC, they were a little bass light but even sounding. Probably hooked up wrong or underpowered retailed around 1.5K/pair

I know different folks have different charities they like and if you want to donate to a different one I think that would be great too!

I think if any group has a chance of making tangible progress towards ending police brutality, it is probably the ACLU.

Happy Birthday!

I will pass on that one, i went leather

Hell Bent for Leather?

Did it?

Then I suppose Hell must be a bit kinky.

7.5 hours just of driving..oooff

Welcome to Texas bud

I saw one months ago in the flesh without knowing it existed and did a massive double take. That is one good looking car.

It gets a lot of shit for having a BMW engine. I don't have an opinion on that; I just think it looks much better than the old one.

I’ve got no hype for old Supra’s, so I carried no baggage into my expectation for this new one.

But do you get to see monkey wars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVEhLO2daI4

nah, but I can buy toilet paper

I love the camera markets near Namdaemun.

As far as the buy or not you just have to decide whether to roll the dice or not. I would say the odds are with you that things will go fine but there’s of course a chance that they won’t.

BTW, if you’re in the market for a tripod Markins is a great Korean brand of ball heads that is readily available for a steal on the used market there.

M9 also slightly less warm in the treble, but very similar fr overall. I think deep bass and treble are the main improvements of the 9 as well, better low end definition, and then a moderate improvement across the board in clarity and detail vs the 7. The 7 really is an incredible value imo

@SoupRKnowva and @netforce I might have found the next IEM to try out. M9 sounds like what I like nowadays: Neutral with little warm. Thanks! Tell me more stuff that didn't sound like shit to you.

M9 will almost certainly be the next IEM I get. Would've got it earlier if not for the FDX.. but I briefly heard it some time back and totally LOVED it. @SoupRKnowva nailed it.. doesn't wow you.. but, man, it just sounds RIGHT. They scale nicely, too. Unfucked BA treble FTW!

congrats dude!

Congrats man! Once you get settled in let me know. We can meet up and talk about Kpop.

Congrats indeed!! I hope it actually turns into a career for you (if that is what you want),

Even with the filters, they're not forgiving of harsh sources. Nonetheless my faves, even from my phone.

I’ll be back mid April @famish99

@famish99 keep your booty calls to yourself, please

I mean I wasn't floored with them but it was a friend's pair. I can ask him if he wants to sell but its iffy cuz he likes them.

Did you find a pair? $235 https://www.head-fi.org/threads/wts-usa-nc-h-jvc-x-drop-fdx1-w-paypal.922696/

I saw those, alas, it’s too late for me to able to purchase now. Thanks though

The Trio was no good, a pretty disjointed mess, the fourte was even worse. The A6 was nice tonally, but nothing special technically. The A12t on the other hand was pretty incredible, though over priced at 2k

U12t is currently my favorite multi-BA IEM. I really like the U18t too, but it can be a little bright. Fourte has a mini-headphone like presentation, but I hate its signature. I haven’t tried the Trio.

Haha yeah, it took a lot of willpower to spread it out over Friday through Sunday

I'm on episode 5 now. They clearly extended the budget a bit, and it looks like they shot a lot of the season in Iceland or somewhere similar.

As it turns out, it was about an hour and a half north of Toronto in the Canadian tundra

That's rather generous of her. Haha, the fact that I'm quite dismissive of her current album aside, she does seem to be relatively less full of herself than many other artists, which is always nice to see. Glad your school has the opportunity for more serious sound work! ;)

Just shake it off, wait for next album.

Skip Taylor, give Carly Rae a listen. Not joking, if you are going to be pretentious as a Pop artist go the full 10CC or Queen. Do not advertise your drama as interesting content. And if you advertise your drama as interesting content, tell a good story. She used to be a good story teller...

Rather, encourage them to use a Carrier Battle Group (insured UPS/FedEx/DHL etc)

thanks for the info @CEE TEE, ive been debating them, I hesitated last night cause the measurements make it look like it has an upper midsized depression, which is what turned me off to the Elegia last week, but it does seem to more of a gradual roll in that area, rather than a localized depression on the Elegia, so maybe I wouldn't mind as much.

I also don't know how the FR compares to my current DT 770 32 Pros

Solderdude has 1770 vs 770 graph here: https://diyaudioheaven.wordpress.com/headphones/measurements/brands-a-i/dt-1770-pro/

Maybe you can see those relative differences and/or find some Amiron Home vs. 770 impressions and triangulate. I had time for a very brief listen last night and they are still warm/bassy. Don't let me scare you off with the words "slightly more linear". Slightly smoother might be better!

Maybe the FR isn't accurate or there's actually a peak within the sibilance? Sounds more likely to me.

I will admit to not being a lvl 83 eq wizard

Looking at the CSDs, it looks like there's some ringing at just above 3k and a less severe one at around 4.5k.

@imackler initial impressions only are that its a relatively unfucked closed can, with an upper mid depression that I dont love

Favorite Scotch? I'm an Islay fan so I tend to drink Aardbeg or Tallisker.

I haven’t actually drank that much scotch, but my favorite bourbon is JP Trodden from Woodinville Washington

I was hitting refresh over and over leading up to 8am PT.

You probably already know this, but you can also buy them direct from Sennheiser with free shipping for about $11: https://en-us.sennheiser.com/accessories--hd-650--cable

I I did not know that, but @dubharmonic has stepped up to help me out. The generosity of SBAF never ceases to amaze me. Plus, better to reuse than buy something new if someone else isn’t using their gear :)

I need this, cause I wanted to plug some headphones into my new digital piano to play, and realized I didn't bring a single "normal" headphone cable with me to Texas, only balanced ones made the trip haha
