Erroneous

Friend, Male, from Texas

Pyrate

New DAC in the house: Allnic D-5000. Will it unseat the May? Time will tell! First impression is that it's a contender, which is impressive! Mar 21, 2024

      Nine Inch Nails has apparently always been 3D and we're only just catching up. Or maybe Trent gets older and more badass/whiny/cringy?

        @DigMe Listened to the album "Still" by NIN, was surprised by the production. Hadn't listened to them in years. Dude's whiny, sad, needs a hug (but I still like it) and you can hear things coming from all around you on the record. I don't go listen to their normal records when I revisit them, it seems. It's the remix records that suck me in.

      How does the Theta Pro Gen V hold up to, say, the Gungnir Multibit A1? There's one on USAM but the price seems high.

        I remember it sounded impressively thick and bold. From the memory, general tone largely resemble Bifrost 2. Maybe I'd describe it BF2 on a steroid. More organic, punchier, but tad less resolving (the unit heard could be a bad one).

        Nonetheless, I had to laugh at the asking price.. 1750. lmafo. My maximum willingness to pay is around 800 if it's in a really great shape.

        Just my personal feeling, but I'd say contributors should not feel bad about ad-blocking. Maybe even a modest contribution is more than SBAF makes from us merely seeing ads as we browse.

        Personal experience: I browse SBAF almost entirely on PC, not phone. I don't have my ad-blocker turned on for this site. I'm not seeing intrusive ads.

        Really it's about what brings the music closer. The answer is Auteur for neutrality but nothing brings details like VC. Aut lags in clarity too, which surprises b/c it's neutral.

        @jexby Will that number ring in Cancun? Actually I just read that he was guilted into flying back today. The Insurance Council of Texas said this is projected to be the most costly weather event in Texas history, surpassing Hurricane Harvey. So we will definitely be sucking up some more of that sweet, sweet government funding. :|

        I just meant that we (citizens) don't go running to the government first.

        I do recognise that Texas has had a lot of weather-related impacts in the last 10 years, so yeah FEMA has allocated money for those.

        So if I want ultimate clarity and resolution with a nice semi-deep layered stage, it's either a multi-kilobuck tube amp or what else?

        So far I've had good results from feeding BHA-1 or Black Amp with Freya+ tube stage. Just got Lyr3 in today and it's better for VC (to my ears in my system) than Jot2.

        So far nothing beats Af. But I can't afford 2 of those and I like variety (and need amp#2 for the bedroom). So what else will get me where I want to be without spending $2k?

      I think Af+VC have ruined solid state for me. I want huge soundstage while I peer into the music's soul. SS sounds flat now. Am I broken?

        masks is not enough. To be sure of not infecting another person, would want lab-standard discipline, and probably, they should be protected too.

        Masks is not enough... but it is a good start. The biggest problem with mask wearers here is the high number of them that seem to think that the chin is the organ of infection.
