        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.

        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.

        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.).

        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.

    4 years after n+1 magazine's Mark Grief autopsied the dead specter of the hipster, in Lana del Rey’s satirical-autobiographical “Brooklyn Baby” there’s an easy mondegreen when she sings “my jazz collections rare”—she could just as easily be singing “my jazz collections real” —either way, this liberal postmodern obsession with “authenticity” and nostalgia-as-radical-chic cred fetishizes and amasses cultural capital, bc that’s all it can do: see and be seen as countercultural, taking revolutionary symbols of the not-so-distant past as fashion icons, as totems, as fetish objects, all the while caching sprezzatura as reified capital. It’s the same move when the hippies turned into the pioneers of Silicon Valley.
