It pisses me off that the only way to get the serial is via the box or the case, both of which I threw out.

If a serial number for a set of iSine LX will help let me know. I have a set that's been sitting in their box for over a year.

I think I can actually get them to sell me the VR kit, much thanks to everyone for offering to help publicly or over PM. I'm good at getting what I want from hapless support people.

She is reason amid the torrent of dumbassery.

When your world goes totally ape shit, guess who's there with the rolling pin?

Happy wife, happy life. ;P

@zerodeefex are you staying safe bro?

The fires are growing away from us so I'm safe in Boulder. Still watching it closely, though.

Glad to hear. Stay safe my friend. The fires here have been terrible. The smoke has been the worst I’ve seen. When this Covid thing is over, I’d like to check out Boulder.

Never buy a flagship new, I got the Galaxy S9+ just as the S10 was gaining traction and it wasn't too bad, haha. Yeah, with a battery swap it'll be exciting to play with!

I still like my Xperia 1. Sony sucks in US because they aren't with a carrier and they only aim for certain users. I still love that Sony unique screen aspect ratio. However, in US you need to pay upfront for one phone plus their phones don't work with all carriers with LTE/Wi-Fi Calling.

I almost preordered the Xperia 1II just because of the camera abilities. With the pro app it looks like an amazing experience.

The only negative for me is lack of Fi switching hardware, although that may not be such a big deal after all. I'll wait til I can get one more cheaply and play with it then.

I guess when the suffering caused by hucking around 80 lbs seems to outweigh it's utility. And I was an old kid too. That's when I contracted my case of the Mondays.

@Senorx12562 that's what I'm training my kids for. The boy is four and already likes to exercise with me.

Take and savor every second. Even (or maybe especially) if it's doing nothing but talking.

@Lyander the new Samsung buds live use a weird design. It's a bean.

I believe you have/had the Sony WF-1000M3, do they really compare to each other? Or are they really too different to compare.

I saw! Was having fun joking about frying em up with friends haha. Just hoping it doesn't kill my ears like most other IEMs since it does seem they put loads of thought into the curvature. Looking forward to impressions if it's no bother :))

Amen!.

I was literally thinking the same thing about an hour ago - something in a case similar to complement Yggdrasil. What are you thinking, like a 60w+ stereo continuity? Or like a 200w monoblock like Marv keeps saying?

No lie I sometimes wish Schiit as a whole had slightly more refined case work but I kind of get it when they specifically have a mission of trying to deliver more performance:cost ratio.

@fp627 their casework destroys most others at similar price range. In fact, I think I recall them being mocked on Drop for spending too much money on enclosures compared to the THX 789. I think their enclosures are fantastic for the price or even some more expensive alternatives.

I agree, but I guess it could still improve a little bit absolutely speaking. Again, relatively speaking, I totally get it.

@Hooncake and now suddenly the pooposting all makes sense :P

+1 @DigMe, didn't expect Conan the Barbarian.

I’m Pinoy!

I mean, at this point we don't need a badge, we need a thread!

Have MC20, 22 and 25 on two Win7 and one Win10 laptops. Other than some non-audio feature additions I don't perceive any audible differences. Maybe @Hammy could provide additional details.

JRiver v26 added HDCD support which is an audible improvement for HDCD titles with peak extend or gain. I consider JRiver mature software that doesn't change much from version to version but cumulatively the changes do add up.

Basically I'll wait for every 10th iteration :). Thank you all for the advice!

I sold my RX1R II and I'll probably pick up a Q2 later this year. The word I have heard from people affiliated with Sony is that development of a new RX1 camera is in limbo because of poor sales of the RX1R II. They might still have something but I won't hold my breath.

You may also want to stock up on a couple eyecups and batteries because the II is now discontinued and Sony USA isn't really known for having parts around for years. I love the camera but I can see how it's not a priority for Sony Imaging now that they are pivoting for the pro market.

I bought another 1 real eyecup and 6 replicas. I already have 4 official batteries and some off brand as well since they're the same size for the RX100 series. I am going to use this fucker forever if they never replace it.

Thank you for the warning! I will stop.

@YMO Good for you, man.

In other news, may @JK47 vote for one poster to have the tag "The Washington Football Team of SBAF posters"? Not right now, necessarily, but some time it will be the perfect thing.

^Washington FC (Football Club)

I'll refund you your full payment @jexby

Whatever happens, the cat will have the last laugh. They always do.

I can report thankfully that the SBAF India community and family is doing well and actually trading equipment despite no interstate courier services. Trust all of you are doing great.

Very kind sentiment, thank you! All well here & I echo the wish. Who the hell every called you grumpy anyway?

Thanks @zerodeefex, it's getting real here now, as I'm sure it is all over. Wishing all of you and yours health and safety.

Welcome to the dog side!

To be clear: I have the sweetest cat in the world. He comes when called, he's waiting when we get home, and he's super affectionate. Still team dog here. Our dog will fight a fucking bear to protect her family.

Raccoon or bust!

I'm down. PM me and we can set up time to chat.

"the sound you ever expected."

I can't afford the marketing baloney.

... Just saw the thread.

"Just looking."

Sure, looks good. I suppose there have been car-buying occasions in my life when, hey, I might have bought some hifi instead. Never happened.
