Er, don't you mean "hear"?

That's automatically following.. as always.

Chicken, turkey, duck, game birds, etc - can all taste good when properly prepared. Although I have turkey most years, IMO no rule that says you can't change it up.

I mean the pilgrims at lobster at their Thanksgiving no?

Duck is where its at. Today even my son decided that he didn't need Turkey for T-Day anymore and preferred duck.

Less Is More.

Coincidently..

2) the 3rd ADS in the house, too (atrium - caldera - auteur/c)

Aeolus is still my favorite ZMF. All the drivers and models have their own unique characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses, but the Aeolus is pretty well rounded if you're going for something more akin to a modded HD650 or JAR HD600 on steroids sound.

Coincidentally, first time Zach had them RMAF, he told me the Aeolus was by far the quickest and easiest to tune in R&D compared to his other models.

add aged truffle cheese for world collapses?

I've never had real truffles, and I'm skeptical of anything I've had with truffle oil is actually truffles as it always tastes chemical-y to me.

Psst. . . +porcini

Doesn't happen here, because the daylight at 13N doesn't vary that much from June to December. About an hour I think.

But back in GB I used to value the change that gave me an extra hour of sleep.

Just an extra hour of sleeplessness for me. I love getting old.

Very sad and heartbroken because it's preventable disaster imo. Lots of political and administrative wrong decisions have been made in South Korea all over the areas. What a hell.

Stampedes are no joke. I lost my cousin in the 2015 pilgrimage stampede, over 2000 people died. The bodies were so crushed that my uncle couldn't identify his son.
When I pilgrimage in 2012 I was floating with the crowd when I did the circling around the Kaaba, I had no control of my body what so ever.
I now fear crowds more than actual fire disasters.

I’m so happy they came back around and added the perforated suede that will fit the Clear. Those are definitely going in my next ZMF order.

How does it work in real life? This form of chat, I suppose, is asynchronous, but face-to-face is synchronous.

?

I like both.

There are pros and cons to each, mostly in that async affords you the opportunity to gather thoughts and fact-check yourself before presenting whereas sync allows for real-time reads of and adjustments to tone and nuance. Both have pitfalls haha.

Oh, I should've clarified it's all about preference. For real life I do agree that both have pros and cons. I recommend others reaching out to me via emails rather than calls unless urgent tho (better records, less miscommunication, etc.).

The beauty of async is I can decide whether and when to respond more flexibly. With less pressure. For lower prioritized stuffs like hobby, that's huge.

We're releasing a wood cup t50 kit soon, like within the next month or so. I'm making a video guide on it shortly. Basically you get the wood cups and have to sand and finish them, if that's your thing instead of 3d printing. Made a whole new cup design for it so it doesn't look like the old ZMF stuff, uses 1/8 inputs.

Wow, another exciting news. Of course very interested. Thanks Zach!

Just noticed the head-fi post is dated 2016. How did I not notice this until now?

IIRC, Qualia 010 was the first one to sport such a design

My fav looking headphone atm, looks like a modernized, all black ortho Qualia 010. Weight is only 320 gr (!) and comes with 2 different earpads. Would love to hear it, super interesting headphone.

Very interesting. Yeah, looks a heckuva lot like the HD800. Or the Sony mentioned.

It is literally a 3D-scanned copy of the OG R10, so... yeah. Enjoying my pair quite a bit.

Oooh, I'd be interested in your impressions- I did hear a OG R10 so curious to see how this one is. (Not that I really liked the OG R10, but it sounded really, really interesting, in a good way)

@Tachikoma Unlike HFM (who simply copied the cup's outer appearance only), ES seems to replicate fairly well. A bit of 'modernness' added though.

@ext1 I'll report my thoughts to the thread later. Initial impression is very positive. Well balanced over the entire spectrum, lush mids, etc. In the meantime, I'd use them for my daily music rambling thread.

Most excellent! Must celebrate this weekend.

Congrats!!

Thanks, all!

Pre 2020 depreciated due to cases of driver failure and it is fair for such product to loose value when the company charges a ton to repair it if out of warranty.

Am I naive to hope the new Utopia's 5k peak keeps enough people away so that we can see some end in sight to the mega-buck headphone niche that the 1st Utopia in many ways popularized?

And at this price point, no way am I buying the "my employees' kids gotta eat" or "bcuz r&d" rationale that smaller outfits might use to charge north of 1K for headphones.

In a cost-of-living review some time back I slashed my Patreon commitment from modest to tiny. Possibly time I closed it down.
Especially as it previously accessed a paypal acount I have now got locked out of.

Yikes. I hope Zeos is OK.

Clicked, saw jude's face, closed.

It's 2022 and MrSpeakers still don't state his headphones sensitivity and impedance. I really hate that company.

@nishan99 Found on hf that impedance and sensitivity are 23 ohms about 87dB/mW, said by Mrspeakers. But yeah, could have mentioned it on the video or in their website, like every other manufacturer
