"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.

"Qui tacet consentire videtur" is standard in Rabbinic jurisprudence.

i just want to be extra sure is all so i gave you a dislike

I literally just spit my coffee on that one. Nice one @Hands hahaha

This is a thing?

Apparently, BT headphone manufacturers still don't give a damn. I think it'll be a while before we have audiophile grade BT stuffs... if even.

Back in my day, bass went 'blub blub blub'. Still super happy with FD01, but it's awesome that the @james444 mod will now get in more peoples ears. It's such a great headphone.

Oh my Schiit that... looks very not bad.

Between that and Unison Bifrost my sense of inner peace is contingent on my blocking Schiit's site, lol.

Chapter on Head-Fi re: Asgard 3 is pretty great. I like the direction Schiit is going with tuning their amps.

@rtaylor76 you can buy the phono module separately, just not available as a preconfigured option like the DAC cards (according to Jason).

I hope he's got really good impressions.

Because people have shame.

Also I'm very disappointed with myself because I'm normally the one coming up with horrifically bad jokes like that. Dammit.

I'm prepared to say some shameful shit if it gets me an eargasm.

Needs to be no larger than 10.5" on any side. The minidsp offerings look the most interesting. Going to pair with either an old elemental designs 8 or 12.

This guy has both the pwr-ice 125 and 250 in pairs for really nice prices considering he includes the boxes for external use: https://www.ebay.com/sch/senor.grosso/m.html?item=183874282948&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

damn, I'm tempted. I don't need two!

Never purchased the T900A, but did a direct A/B with @Jh4db536 when he brought his set to my place.

Last paragraph https://tinyurl.com/y3zgcm9p and what I have now https://tinyurl.com/y5sozf78

I would literally harvest pennies and sell them as copper to save and skip the T900A and get the T500mkII's.

Too many other outdoor hobbies eating into my earnings right now to spend on the T500mkII. Surf fishing, motorcycles, camping gear... But one day I WILL buy the T500mkII again...

With Oppo ceasing audio operations just kind of shows how tricky the market has become. Hard to say if SU didn't buy Onkyo's audio stuff, would they have had enough money to continue on or would have closed up like Oppo/been sold to different buyers.

With all those brands under the same corporate umbrella, I'll probably just stick with the higher end Yamaha stuff for home theater. I've found it to be in general more reliable with a better UI. I own Marantz now, and have been underwhelmed.

How long until Sound United buys out the Yamaha home theater side. SU will swallow up every receiver brand!

Wonder for us, who works with SU with Denon/Marantz if the Onkyo/Pioneer umbrella extends to us or they will want to keep it in big box stores. Sony makes us order a certain amount of their receivers for our quota every quarter.

Google has almost enough cash on hand to match Ukraine's entire GDP, and routinely shrugs off fines which would bankrupt entire companies (and third world nations). It's no wonder why they can scale anything if they really want to haha.

How much would Google pay for you 2XL in trade? eBay might do well by you selling that Apple phone...

There’s no world in which I can get more than $250 for an iPhone SE locked to sprint. Hah.

Plus, it takes a binding U.N. resolution, an act of Congress, a declaration of war including lists of grievances, AND the Postmaster's authorization to pay the claim out. He/She is a federal employee, so good luck getting them off their ass to sign the check. So, yeah, fuck the USPS.

... not that I've experienced this, or anything...

This makes me feel good about not even being in US.

Oh wait, India Post.

(Frankly, nothing like its reputation years ago. Much improved)

Quarter pounder with cheese is too beefy for him

So my question is... do they have any steak in it?

this is why the ignore button was invented, been ignoring one of them for many moons.

This is definitely the asylum.

Does the software allow for automatically redirecting a user's posts to a specific forum? You could create a Twilight Zone for the ranters instead of executing.

And literally kill the only fun in moderation ? Are you a sadist or something @GoodEnoughGear ?

I'm just a psychotherapist who likes jazz and showing people their own projections. Mission accomplished, I think. ;-)

^^^ and you have a name that's like an ink blot test...

"I'm just a psychotherapist"

Psycho the rapist. It gets worse and worse!

The album is exceptional at showing the headphone or dac's ability at detail retrieval/plankton. I call it the yellow brick road test, that the benchmark dac3 failed and sold.

With what elements?

Elements? You mean drivers? El cheapo SI HT18s for the win.

Nice! Never tried those or had the opportunity to listen to them.
You impression about the NAD T758 was spot on. It is quite a bit better than the Anthem MRX 510 (even without EQ)

If you've got Prime, here's a cheap re-fill option that i just received: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012TD02PS/

That is what I ordered, and despite Prime, it won't get here til tomorrow even though my A2000s got here from Japan today.

Meh, I already ordered some. Might stop by the drugstore tomorrow and pick some up locally if I have time (probably won't).
