@Psalmanazar, yeahhhh, I forgot that the vocals were studio and other adjustments. To be honest, my favorite part of Unleashed is the cover. I have friends who will never admit that their idol is gay.

Yeah I just finally got my own pair or Krk V6S4 and was checking out guitar tones on them yesterday because they’re big and no mid suckout like 8” monitors. Yep unleashed in the East tone sucks and They didn’t blend the reverbs

This is interesting. I have zero complaints about the Focal headband and actually find it more comfortable than my ZMFs.

The focal headband is very head-specific.

Either you have the shape they designed around or it blows. I have the wrong head.

Also when the cushion is worn you have to replace the whole headband, last i heard that was 900 bucks out of warranty.

Yeah, $900 for a fing shitty headband blows. The problem with the Focals is they aren't good for people who have a lot of hair on their head. It caused too much hot points on my head.

@LetMeBeFrank I might need to look up that. I wonder if I can also send/transfer files from my computer to the unit. So confused but these things are like peanuts.

If I hadn't just packed mine up for the move I would test it for you.

Hear ya on that. I might get two more for the new apartment next month, lol.

Ya saw them selling THX amp on Amazon few months back.

I have this problem where I live under a rock at times. I can be the guy who finally founds something that was discovered months ago.

When platforms look for better platforms. Ebay is one of the best on-line platforms for buying and selling. Even niche products find their place there.

I'm so open to buy new crap on DSD, since there are times I prefer the mastering on that format. But nooo, you had to be Sony and ruined something great or at least "useful."

Shouldn't say this, but I keep hold it in any longer. DSD isn't bad, just use it as another format to consider if there's an album you want with excellent remastering.

At least for some albums you can buy the DSD file, but of course audiophile prices required. *Rant Over*

@YMO I have met folks like that in S.F. audio shops before. The sales people see them coming from a mile away. They seem to know I’m looking for a good deal on demo equipment fast. Maybe it’s my laughing when they tell me the price.

Out of the biggest audio enthusiasts I have met, I prefer those with the exact opposite view: very few watts and high-efficiency speakers!

Well I probably qualify for old-fart status, but I've learned the value of 8 good watts into great high sensitivity speakers 80Hz and above, with active crossover into 800W below 80Hz into Big Woofers and carefully time aligning the system.

On a similar note your new avatar gave me a good chuckle

Everything makes sense... except "on a table."

Try dancing on a table.

Or a cheap 55 inch smart TV. I only watch Youtube and Netflix and quite happy than most audio gears I purchase.

Depends on what you have now. Sony, image-wise, is usually my choice as TV goes, not the best interface or sound but that i can live with. From what i see you already have a bunch of gear...save for vacations.

@Walderstorn no Vaca this year. Moving between apartments is cleaning me out. But I been meaning to update my TV for years and get a silly Sonos product.

They were yum. I love balls.

It's fun to borrow a friend's truck and go get your furniture... only to realize you should probably see what's in stock before going. At least you get to eat cinnamon rolls.

Generally a shopoholic, but hated Ikea and didn't go back. Except the Danish pastries in the cafe were good.

I'm not paying money for CBS Access for the new Trek series. Everyone wants my money for one show.

Hopefully the market will weed out the weak performing ones sooner than later. But then comes access to those properties other than pirating.

The big ones will survive because they have studios and create media. The smaller ones will struggle and die off.

But the shorter one is harder!

The mountain sheep are sweeter,
But the valley sheep are fatter;
We therefore deemed it meeter
To carry off the latter.

I did not know I needed another subscription service but here we are.

Ahhah, welcome to the club. I do believe if you just watch five movies from the series that were released by Criterion then you just got your monies worth.

Check with your local libraries about Criterion. Kanopy has at least some and is free through a number of libraries here.

Last time in a used book store, I found a 1942 edition of Slater's 'Microwave Transmission' for a few bucks. Prompted me to start looking for Maxwell's 'A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism', but I can only find Volume 1

Not sure I've ever seen a used CD bin that didn't include 'August and Everything After'

I've seen 'August and Everything After' so many times in the used bins that I think I already have it. I don't. I never buy it because I think I already have it.

Roku is the best streaming device.
