Thinking about it, no duh, but I feel power delivery doesn't matter as much for BA IEMs as DD. None of the usual improvements IME. Mar 26, 2024 at 8:17 PM

      Watched Parasite(기생충). This has to be one of the best films I've seen this year, it was one hell of a trip.

        Hah, as expected of a good parent :)

        Honestly, with the exception of Miyazaki, Hosoda, Shinkai, and a few others who make "classics", every anime I like almost always has to have trope or fanservice-related caveats tacked on, it sucks. Notable example, I love Grimgar but hesitate to talk about it for the creepy sexualisation.

        I miss the days of Kino's Journey, Wolf's Rain, Ergo Proxy, Yugo the Negotiator, etc.

        I did compliment the biscuits! I'd actually go back just to get a couple to snack on, haha. But props to them the place was literally packed near closing, the franchise is new to the country so loads of people just swarming in up to the last minute and keeping them on their toes. Benefit of the doubt for now.

        I wonder if they require SN verification to purchase replacement ribbons. If not I'd be tempted to just buy the ribbons at 350, build a jank headband/enclosure, slap some actual pads on there and go down the DIY rabbit hole. OB headphones aren't my thing as someone who can't stand anything with bass rolloff before like 25 hz
