Please do!

@Lyer25 Transducers first.

Common sense and financial realities will always have to prevail. Grazie! Still curious to read impressions though, always a pleasure to get someone else's input on gear.

8 grand, baby.

I frequently use ZX300's wireless receiver function to cover my streaming needs. Not the most convenient since you gotta bring a phone and a DAP on the go, but it works great and sounds...not bad actually. Just my $0.2. Which Hiby DAP are you looking at?

I was looking at the Hiby R6, but I'm open to anything. They just seemed to be a successful Indiegogo company that is sticking around. Man, I'm so sick of having to read about shit instead of getting to listen to first. So jelly of the Tokyo/Hong Kong crowd...

Sorry if you've known about this already, but the Hiby R6 has the output impedance of 10 ohms I believe, so it may not pair well with some BA IEMs. Hiby R3 seems interesting though: <1-ohm OI, smaller size, at half a price of R6 but with less juice. Might interest you! Wish I had a chance to try both too, sound like neat little devices.

I think the junior is with feedback as standard and maybe other changes, Marv will know

@bengo maybe, its just odd that the Aficionado was originally called Studio Jr...

I get the feeling Craig really wished for a more neutral amp that's cheaper than the Studio. He has been pushing for the feedback version of the Af recently and this probably gives him the way to sell a more delineated amp line especially with the phase out of the ZDS.

Woman... they are going to dominate the world

They get ya every time...

Oh dislike @direstraitsfan98

I might take that bet.

Mods don't have any real powers. It's the admins that rule the world. Please focus all blame on @zerodeefex

@jexby is too busy to mod but will feel obligated to do stuff when I bug him.

#teamdynamic never needed to hide. Bring your PortaPro, HD600 and HD650. They will always be good.

Sadly I don't write enough any more to justify using a fountain pen, but for sure I'm hanging on to my Parker Duofold and Waterman Le Man. Maybe I should look into using them occasionally with an inkwell instead of cartridges.

Fountain pen was a godsend during grad school. There was a lids down/no phone policy in place so had to take 6+ hours of notes by hand every day.

I used fountain pens exclusively during grad school when I had to take notes for 3 hours. Now I carry a cheap ballpoint to hand to co-workers so they don't damage my beautiful #6 gold nib fountain pens.

And @ergopower, there are so many beautiful bottled fountain pen inks. Check out Diamine or Iroshizuko for some astounding colors.

I think i read something about Apple being aware of it and they have a program set up for it.

The annoying thing for me is the USB-C only ports. The plus side is that I can charge the laptop from either side now since it doubles as a charging port. The touch bar is interesting but it can get a little too sensitive sometimes. My finger will just get close sometimes and it will 'press' the button.

maybe a bad idea. You might want to check if it has the latest 8th gen intel processor. If not, probably not worth it

Sure it will be fine, just do not make it your music computer. Laptops mostly suck. The keyboard may be more important than the optical drives that failed within a few years on the older Macbooks, though.

In communist Russia, dough kneeds you?

And stir massive cauldrons of chili. Sore arms from carrying all the ingredients, sore shoulders from turning the resulting concoction in the pot.

Super men (or X-Men, ba dum tss) can tolerate getting kneed in the dough?

in hindsight, i'm pretty sure ketchup was the root cause of my divorce. #mustardonly

I wish ketchup was still like it was in colonial times. It was more like mushroom sauce or fish sauce...

@Hrodulf - only if it's in a proper sauce like:

Just choose “grayscale” in advanced options of the print dialog screen.

I loathe ink printers. Laser printer all day long!

Agreed. It is hard to believe that one can live without colour printing, until you've made a laser-printer cartridge last a year instead of buying multiple replacements for dried up print heads.

(Don't know what colour laser looks like these days: might be an option for some. Probably not for the photographers. But then, they probably don't dry up their print heads)

What I want to know is --- what have they ever done for us?

Junta is the better term - EDIT: specifically, the DAC-Test Junta: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ouBnu9AQcU ;-)

This is a @CEE TEE deal.

Encouraging then...

Yes, approved...and thanks for the nice comment! :)

"Could be legit"

Nothing wrong with the frog. I hope the kid loves it a lot. Parent, though, should probably be writing for the New Inner Fidelity.

Hahaha! Funniest thing I've heard all day!

Somehow having a supportive mother seems like it would take all the fun out of having a pet frog
