FUCK YEAAAAHHHH! Oh yeah, if you weren't aware, the original ten novels are available in English from Viz. I'm glad we have the whole original novel series (which covers all 120 episodes of OVA) in English.

We rolled tubes, caps, transformers, cables, and now boards.

The real next step is rolling Ac adapters! LOL JK. In all seriousness, though something did change, thankfully for the better.

I'm about to start rolling my eyes...

Sometimes my sarcasm is legendary.

So microphones tend to be setup far field?

Schoeps CMC641 represent! If I could only have one mic forever that's the one.

@Cspirou depends on the room, but a sort of medium distance, not super close or far.

Dolby or Dolby Atmos?

I'm pretty sure Dolby atmos? I mean tickets were like 24 dollars each, though I don't know if that's just standard now. The only thing that has be coming back is watching Blade Runner 2049 in Dolby Atmos and that was just.....ridiculous....haven't experienced anything as good since.

One things that really affects the soundqaulity in theaters are where you sit. You sit in the first 3rd it will be pretty bright. Dolby Atmos really worked well inside the cars. Image on other hand seems subpar. Looked like SS instead of HDR. Highlight blown out, contrast off...might just been the theatre I visited.

People fall in one of these three categories: What a expensive string! vs What a expensive converter! vs Nothing comes cheap..

At least it's not the cost of a LiM per string...

At least a good set of cello strings still bring musical joy

I'll have to give that one another listen. Three of his solo Beethoven recordings are particularly worth-hearing. His very imaginative, but also coherent, Op. 27/1. His tightly structured but still quite virtuosic 32 Variations in C minor. And his bold, albeit ultimately uncompelling, attempt to play Op. 27/2 according to the tempo markings.

Everything android does...just adapt after 3 years Lol

They may adopt certain features later, but generally they turn out in the whole to be much more refined as a package compared to their targeted competition (with very decent supported lifetimes), which tons of people worldwide look forward to getting their hands on. But yes, the Keynotes are somewhat silly at this point, exercises in over-production to keep the masses excited over what's already expected.

I think they make great products! Just don't like how they make it out like they were so innovative....first ever.....industry leading....IP86 Water resistance....it just rubs me off poorly.

On first look based on some pics and its case, I thought it would replace their $700 closed back model.. Little did I know it was $4K

Yeah, that would be a hard pass for me. If I was spending that $$, it would be for either a RAAL system or ZMF TotL.

Yeah that's why I was asking. Was interested in getting them with cohesion being a factor that irked me slightly with the solaris and the mild raspiness from the scooped mids...then I'm like...should I just get the 8XX and screw iems altogether?

If as of late you use mostly headphones, get 8XX. If not, think about it. I enjoy my Ara even if it is BA ville, but the 2k-8k can get on my nerves on some recordings.

yeah....already have an HD800SDR though....gotta make a decision soon ><...

Just looked myself and the prices seem to match Spring 2 prices?

That's only the introductory price, which will go up another notch.

Bummed that they don’t have multipoint Bluetooth connections

Eagerly awaiting the death of my XM3 so I can upgrade

"The 1000XM4 buds fully support Sony’s own proprietary LDAC codec" ... dayam!
My 3s are pretty new, so the upside is I won't be getting these until the price drops

Coffee is best black like my amps.

I love coffee.....Just my ethiopians were tasting good but my South Americans not so much. Changed the water composition and tasted amazing...but then its just another bag of worms....different water for every coffee...past the grind size, temp, ratio, pour method....it was a moment of.....fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

It's taking me several weeks to dial in my new Kinu M47 for my moka rig at work. I feel your pain, sorta, kinda ...

... until you crank up one day and next day get warning messages from the leasing office, neighbors, etc..

@Cellist88 I hear you. I still have a headphone set-up, but I feel no need to spend more. Main rig, however... :-)

...Until you wife tells you she was faking it, all those years, when she said "I don't mind you listening to your music at night." :(

I was a most unwilling convert to headphones!

Was too busy concentrating on following the plot, so I have zero recollection of the soundtrack. Will have to check it out.

I just have a modern cello, but decent cello strings from larsen or spirocore cost a lot. almost 400 for a set, and strings usually are supposed to be changed every 120hrs....4 hrs of playing that's every month, but we don't abide by those rules strictly ><.

Crap. I thought it was expensive paying for a piano tuning once or twice a year.

Looks like strings have gone up a lot in cost... wow.

Have you tried DEQ2496?
