    The Fulla2 is one of the best audio purchases in years for me. Even YouTube audio is tolerable.

  High Index lenes are HIFI. Colors, small details. Only 1.74 makes me wonder what a 1.9 index will be like.

    I went with high index for my glasses (progressive and reading), but also add a 5-10 % tint (usually grey or blue). I find the tint helps take a bit of the edge off some things that otherwise appear too sharp. I consider it to be visual EQ, much like I use sound EQ to tune my headphones to my personal preferences.

    shucks @GoodEnoughGear , I got excited because I got it backwards in my head - I was thinking the Jriver WDM driver would be a way to stream via ethernet Jriver to PI 2AES...

    Wanting to move away from USB...Roon actually sees Jriver in audio setup up (asio & wasapi), but to be honest I have never bothered to use it...but in the end it's Jriver to Pi that I want...though I have Ropiee XL on the Pi so I suppose I could DLNA from Jriver to it...

  I enjoy new releases more on the Clear, but well recorded on the Aeolus.

    I enjoy both more on the Aeolus, I think, but that's probably attributable to the fact that I listen to music with a lot of acoustic instruments and vocals.

    YES! these new releases have almost no acoustical aspects to them. Mostly edm, Death Grips, Dorian Electra, 100 GECS, Kanye west on the clears.
    
    The Aeolus made me love Acoustic music. Lou Donaldson, Michel Petrucciani, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Nils Lofgren, Kenny Dorham, Joel Xavier, Jacques Loussier.
    
    Just helped me realize there is no 1 headphone.

  Can a user replace the 5670 tubes in the IfI Pro Ican? I have a few tubes I want to send my friend to test.

    It is doable, but voids your warranty. The thread on Head-fi has info (https://www.head-fi.org/threads/ifi-ican-pro-impressions-discussion.795344/page-108
    
    Its all throughout the thread, but seems to been a recent topic, so start at the end and work back.

    Warranty period seems to be 1 year. If it's near the end or past that point I would just do it.

    I'm able to add that CD to my Amazon cart. Didn't try taking the purchase further. If it fails after that point get Amazon support involved to make the purchase happen.

  Any recommendations for speaker stands for a desk? Hopefully someone with a standing desk can chime in. Been looking at the SOUNDRISE PRO-5.

    @Riotvan you use the blutak to adhere the heavy shit and plates + stands together. Not to... couple the speakers to something.

    Went through some of my playlists and I had to add Robin Trower.
    
    It also appears I have enough artists to explore for the month to come. Thank you for everyone who contributed, hope to make more lists in the future.

  Man, reading the "What is balanced" and "/isolation Discussion" just saved me money. Such a great SNR, but what to do about THD+N?

  Debating the X-LS Encore Kit. Anyone have experience with the kit? The Wharfedale Diamond 225 seems within reach.
