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

Whatever the choice, I'd get some hands-on time if at all possible, make sure you like the feel of playing it. Cost of the higher-end models is rough, though; managed to snag mine at a hefty discount and it was still several thousand dollars... the price of realism, I suppose.

FWIW, I had many piano players tell me they preferred Yamaha due to the action and sound.

I ended up snagging the Roland fp-90, gonna assemble it when I get home tonight. Excited to jump back in this weekend

Can't watch it ATM but when I looked into it about 3 yrs ago people who sleep less than 7 and more than 9 a night had shorter life spans per Mayo Clinic w/ their recommended amount being 7-8 hours.

(For adults that is) I'm interested to hear the talk when I get a chance though.

@SoupRKnowva Haha yeah i'm the same, people complain less about their health to me now. I wonder why hehe...

Micro LED and emissive quantum dot, both sample and hold. I think the last future tv tech that wasn't was SED? it was supposed to replace plasma, but then it died. I think the problem is brightness, its hard to get without sample and hold.

That reminds me, I have to track down a CRT TV to play a few Point Blank/Gun Bullet games I still have stashed in a cupboard. The arcade version with actual recoiling pistols was one of my all time favorite multiplayer games right up there with Daytoma USA 8 player, and Gauntlet.

Used to sell those. My back hurts for you. Great for laserdiscs and vintage game systems though.

Have only heard the single released a bit ago on iTunes, pretty good. Shame the mastering is just as shitty as 10,000 Days - http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/view/166324 - but looking forward to listening to the whole album.

I would disagree that the mastering is just as shitty as 10k days. Everything cant be summed up in a single number

If not for the fact that I would miss out on all the other amazing tracks, I could listen to Invincible and Descending on repeat y’all damn day

Real Chernobyl was even more intense than the show... just saying...

Look for another show in 20 years? https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1164125/Russia-nuclear-leak-radiation-Putin-iodine-hazmat

More intense in that it was _real_ rather than a tv show, but the events of the show were pretty highly dramatized in comparison to what actually happened. As you would expect of something meant to entertain

Gonna be hot!!

Nice! I'll be there on the 8th for a week.

did you get glossy or matte? I just got my glossy white one but I think the smaller O- model will be better for my grip

I went with the mate black one. They’re making a smaller one?

Oh wow, yeah I’d like it to be smaller too, I might grab one of those. I liked the size of my g303 a lot

Different strokes for different folks. but the embody, aeron, leap and gesture are the ones to check out if buying a high end task chair, see which one works for you :D

The more I sit in the Embody and slightly tweak it over time, the more I'm liking it, my back loves this chair

You are so lucky!
Mine finally (after several years) got repaired after flood immersion (do NOT let the seat get wet: water destroys it!) but I got happy in chair 1/5 of the cost. Wife now has the Embody. Cat likes it, but wife refuses to share!

My Austin knowledge is kinda dated I left in 2012. Hit up @famish99

If you're any kind of a beer fan, @brencho is right, Jester King is worth a trip, 100% phenomenal beers

You've arrived just in time for 2 months of hell-weather. Welcome!

Congrats! Keep it weird.

Congrats! Hit me up when you get in town

I’ll be rolling into Austin on Saturday

Now we just need to finish getting it through the backend tools and laid out in silicon so we can get it turned in

Critical path: 3ns+ -> 2.2ns. Is real time all that's typically considered now? Was wondering about cycles, and what clock speed you used to get that.

Had an interview once where I had to provide the total clock cycles for a loop in Z80 assembly. Missed it by 1 cycle because the positive branch of an if took +1 cycle than the negative.

Man that was a long time ago.

when I say critical path I mean in the heardware for a single cycle, so the critical path is what determines your cycle time and therefor the clockspeed you can run the chip at. So we took it from passing timing at ~300MHZ to doing so at 450MHz with some reasonably minor changes to the architecture. Getting the cycle time down further would require much more significant changes we dont have time for.

Yeah, to boot the DEC10 you had to feed punched paper-tape through a reader. And plenty of lights and switches.

The VAX 8087 used a DEC-made IBM PC clone to hold the boot code, and essentially network-boot the VAX.

Yeah, was funny how much lag after you hit RUN on such a tiny prog.

Heh, or even after each keypress!

I used qbitorrent for a long time on my desktop. The main reason I went with deluge after trying several was cause it allows you to rename files and folders within torrents from the remote interface. None of the others let me do that in the webui they have

Transmission lets you do that with the remote GUI. I have 970+ torrents seeding with transmission and only use QBT for new downloads. It’s kind of cumbersome. Maybe I’ll give deluge a shot.

also with Deluge you dont have to use a webUI, you can just use the normal app, and connect to the remote daemon, which is also nice
