Why is Adam Sandler on every movie ever made? Damn, it's surreal. Is he omnipresent or something like that? May 9, 2021

      New Harman target with +8db bass boost...looks pretty nice for a Sharp boombox, but is for over the headphones...wtf they were thinking?

        I like "dark" too, but not with a bass boost so big that interfers with the mids...something like the b&k curve for speakers but translated to headphones would be nice.

        Ohhh hell yeah that'd be awesome. I seem to like BBC dips too though, and maybe not so much air up top (esp. ~11kHz). One good thing that's happened since I signed up here is that I seem to have a better handle of my preferences, haha.

        They're the radical new pinnacle of being incompetent...the only advantage the Jr had over the 009 was that the 009 was 8 years old, now the 009S is the novelty, so they don't have any argument...time for v2 and then v3 once they hear the 009S...typical Chifiman

        Also, being Stax's 80th anniversary, it would be underwhelming to not have an "SR-011" at the end of year (009S will be the 10th flagship)...let's see how it goes!

      I guess to keep the Final Thread moving onward I'll move to here but all I wanted to add was if that's the case that a DAVE wasn't enough to drive them (Believable as it's not for many planars) they shouldn't have had that be the only amp at their booth at RMAF that wasn't a dap...

        That's a very good point, don't know about headphone makers, but in speaker demos dealers tend to use equipment based on business relationships (ie, not the best amp for X speakers but he carries both)...it's not always like that but could be the case.

        My first listen of the Utopia was from a Naim streamer. Focal and Naim merged a few years prior, it definitely didn’t do the Utopia justice, and it’s pretty efficient.

        The common sentimet for not-so-efficient planars seems to be giving them lots of juice, so that D8000 you tried may well have been under nourished:

      Funny word of today: peacock

        Taverius
        I've always wondered about that; I mean, the female is called a peahen, so you'd expect an association with peas.

        But having owned one, peas are not what come to mind when I think about one: rather, it is the intense desire to murder them.

        Though I suppose Awfulscreechatfouramcock is not a good name :P

        They anticipate the desire to murder. Hence sounding as if somebody IS murdering them.

        But... Possibly the most beautiful bird in the world. Everybody knows them. It doesn't take a three month trek to possibly, maube spot one. If it did, I'm sure they would be the absolute pinacle of birder ambition. But I'll leave living with them to someone else :)

        Speaking of the intersection of audio and music. I read about some music reviewer that listened to everything through apple earbuds. I guess an argument can be made that most people listen to music this way. But really, take your job a little more seriously and invest in quality gear.

        I agree @Cspirou, something like the Sennheiser HD5xx line is not expensive and would do the trick, it's also a good idea to have the apple earbuds as a reference too, but not as the only way to review music, that's irresponsible imho

        Also some sort of two channel system. Even though most music is enjoyed through headphones, in the studio they mix it for speakers. Get some lsr308s on standmounts.
