caute

I love them. But then, the treble spike is my hearing aid. Even though I've already boosted vocal frequencies (at least) in EQ.

You can't hate this headphone if you have the right 800 in the right system. Unit to unit variance is a thing. There's also a reason that people say you have to build a system around it.

When you are 800ing correctly, it's hard to beat. I choose it over Utopia even.

Same. Figured it to be spam.

Got it as well about a Mani 2 for sale and a George email to contact. Get fucked !

Where are the mods to boot this fellow? Hello. Keep reporting him I guess.

I got it a bunch working in food service, was sick less long/severely each time, but check with a professional and get well soon

Thanka guys :)

Not sleeping much, not eating much. Feel p awful, like last time. Hopefully by mid-week at least the symptoms will be gone!

@yotacowboy There's definitely a hotnurse line joke in there.

But caute probably wouldn't appreciate it right now. I'll get my coat.

really want streaming capabilities, so that's why im leaning Red, but I found an Italian selling a Z w LPS for 550 euro...

I need a $800-1.5K streamer-ddc recs. still goin the CD route, but will never give up streaming lol

Still very happy with my Red. Won't be going anywhere anytime soon.

I broke the rulez, hotrod--got a pass one time and then I did a #2 and got flushed for a week. never again lol.

edit: tbf, I didn't know it was actually against the rules, just frowned upon, generally

Its against the rules on most websites because they can be shut down with a strike and it can be a real pain to get your site back...

Yeah, you can't talk about Fight Club.

and all the people were singing / they went, "na, na, la, na, na, la"

If the money's no good just get a grip on yourself.

They should never have taken the very best

this is a one-off dl for a very, very hard to find film, btw. if im breaking rules, pls mods, feel free to remove

Real classy

Lol, over under on being banned? I give it until Monday.

getting the Arcam bc cheapest & easiest to swap voltages & also rec'd by a bunch of ppl lol

I have an sentimental fondness for Stewart's Key Lime.

RC Cola

You could try Q Kola, might be in the vein you're looking for.

Japan has a lot of craft colas, but probably not too easy to get to the US.

Mac house sound and Koss drivers are a recipe for sucess. Some of my favorite pairings in the whole hobby.

Btw I got these to test my abbas otl (will be done and here by winter hopefully) in case it kabooms my hp, I’m only out $25, but they’re imo better than APP1 so I’m diggin em too

Packing like a boss negates most tomfoolery of the shipping companies

@caute I have, its shit. Unless the package disappeared, you're getting nothing.

FedEx / UPS / USPS - will easily take your money for "insurance" coverage, but will fight you tooth and nail to actually cut those checks for the BS that is their fault. Have gone through claims process a few times. Takes 1-3 months average for me, and if your buyer is cooperative in the process of (taking pictures, sending damaged items, etc.).

@zerodeefex could do it too I bet & @jexby thanks Thad

Goin defcon 1. @purr1n, pls?

a big BIG thank you to our tireless, very thankless and savvy af mods here for doing this—i. fn. love. you.

for the bisexual clout (there is none)

Some of those cd's have masters i can't find on streaming services or bonus tracks. I'm an album guy and it always throws me off if tracks are missing.

like Gaz said some of those miniLP and SHM CDs sound pretty cool, especially for classic and psychedelic rock. they have a funky EQ that is less obvious than Japanese vinyl but still there, it's flattering for some recordings. but I cannot fathom paying more than $20-30 at most for a CD.

I assume you’re talking about early 80s Japanese releases like the Black Triangles. Many of them do sound excellent. Several of the masterings were released in other countries without the BT branding and cost way less on the used market. Use Steve Hoffman Forums for research on this.

Yep, once it gets here I'll put it in a padded envelope and figure out postage, pm me your info.

@bobboxbody you are a king, thank you so much!!

thank you, i def thought of that transatlantic voyage, and the abuse it would suffer, but for $250 or so, im willing to roll the dice lol

false alarm. found another one for 130 pounds that ships to the US. thanks for looking British buddies!

If it falls through, you might be able to find a package forwarding service.

Maybe atomicbob? Tried searching but I don’t remember the name of it, and searching bobs posts didn’t work. Even saved it as a watched post, but I have 15 pgs of those and I looked thru ALL and it wasn’t there… it had some really cool info in it, like reducing the speed of the pi and things like that

thank you!!!

dam i hope my guy is doing well

thank you both! now anyone got any opamp recommends for warm, "musical", decidedly not "hifi" sounding?

If it doesn't have a circle (most do) one edge might be chamfered, this indicates the side for pin 1 which is the one on the left looking at it from that side

Re warm, the classic OPA134 would fall into this category
