    Idiot proof something, and the universe will conspire against you to find a greater idiot.

    Never argue with idiots. They will just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

    I've found I used to be a total warm head. Loved my Audeze LCD-3's. Over time I've slowly shifted to a brighter leaner signature as my preference. I think the Abyss had something to do with this....

  Switching from HD6XX to something more efficient but forgetting to switch amp back to low gain = ow.

  Watched Thor Ragnarok, am confused: Ragnarok was said to be bad and everybody wanted Asgard and Bifrost...

    @Biodegraded my bad I didn't think you were in Canada. That said you should at least have the vat + brokerage
    
    Jun 1, 2018
  4. Biodegraded
    Yep, GST + brokerage - because they were classified as 'Special' (Chapter 98 of the Canada Customs Tariff Schedule) rather than 'Electrical Machinery and Equipment and Parts Thereof' (Chapter 85), which would have excused the first $100. Note to self for future...

    @Biodegraded, that’s B.S. But then again you have health insurance.

  Science note to 'sound science' people: measurements are a *subset* of observations.

    Therefore, many scientific observations are not measurements.

    One could also argue that in the hands of certain internut personalities some measurements are not scientific observations.

  Curses. Listening station #2 is far more comfortable and convenient than #1 - but the best gear is at #1...

    Same here. I do most of my listening at work with the Leckerton. Meanwhile at home, the Valhalla 2 and Mimby languish...

    Every time I listen to my work setup, I briefly wonder if I shouldn't just sell off the home gear and replace it with the "cheap" stuff.
