Definitely gave me the shakes here.

Felt, but not as much as the one last year around the 4th of July

Here in Taipei, a 4 50 miles away gets the building rocking a bit on the 8th floor. Haven't had one in a while, but once a month is about average. I figure it's good to have lots of small ones, keep the big one at bay.

@ChaChaRealSmooth I'll be waiting for my scotch/whiskey after my test ;)

always the best solution to enjoy music without overthinking it

it's the ultimate anti-nervousa

Doing HD800 in HD650 housing would seem like a concession considering how iconic the design of the HD800 is, enough to warrant doing weird overpriced corning glass back crap and an anniversary edition.

Though I agree with ChaCha that the ZMF and RAD-0 look better IRL, the HD800 design is a marketing machine in itself, just remembering how many hf avatars were HD800 cups and recalling personal experience. You just want to touch that scifi shit. If Bill-P's work is recognized by Senn, they would make it an HD7xx variant most likely, cause that's where consumer feedback actually killed their crap product.

Look, it isn't silver, so... less bright. Inevitable, no?

In the end, I think if anyone feels the Utopia or other Focals made some sort of comeback, they might still be growing out of the FOTM mindset that permeates the hobby. They never really went away, IMO.

It's because secondhand prices have come down enough for people to think about owning it. Think at full retail price and synergy you need with high end amps, might as well go for two channel.

Also since everyone is cooped up, need for headphones for private listening becomes more of a need.

Give me free f00d

Yeah rock fishing. Boat is called Star Dust. I'll br happy if I even catch a fish, but more concerned about having a good time.

Rock fish is easy, you will catch limits. Lingcod and sheepshead would be a bit tougher but oh so tasty (rockfish are ridiculously good too).

Probabilistic answer: "Throw a dart to decide it fairly"

Believe it or not I rolled a die

My version of that first world problem is which amp do I listen to today? I switch amps more than I switch headphones.

Welcome to the Pi2AES club! It’s pretty fricken sweet here. And yeah, the flexibility and capability is amazing for the price of entry (not to mention the sound!)

@ChaChaRealSmooth I think you can already with UPnP if you have it setup correctly.

It took a awhile to properly configure and stabilize Moode at my home, but I'm really glad I did. I agree, It's great to be able to stream and play local music and not worry about USB nervosa off my aging Mac.

Sorry sir, but you have a big head.

My head might as well be a basketball. I wear a lot of popular headphones with the yokes extended all the way (HD800, Clear, etc).

Literal hot sauce + tacos or.... euphemism hot sauce + tacos? *thumbs up smiley face here*

^I just realized what that sounds like. I meant the literal tacos and hot sauce.

Well this post suddenly got a lot more disappointing.

Elegia isolates way better than the X00. @E_Schaaf Not sure if your mods help with that?

Just a hair. Elegia does offer a better seal, that's true.

I'm less concerned about total sound isolation for myself and more concerned about sound leaking out of the headphone. So probably that TH-X00 would have been 100% fine in that regard.

The antidote is the Utopia! :)

That's replacing one poison with another. I can't do that anyhow, Marv is borrowing it LOL

Nice stands ! Yeah shipping is crazy expensive these days.

Word of warning with those types of stands; don't put your ZMF on one side and then a lightweight headphone on the other. It doesn't balance that well.

^ Random unsolicited advice followup advice - do not get headphone stands where the part the headphone hangs extends out past the base.

Stretching the headband out does help, but I told chacha that one condition of the loaner was he _cannot_ stretch out the headband ;)

^it was quite a stretch just to fit it over my huge ego

Some (or at least one) small-headed/brained people find Grados uncomfortable too, I assure you.

My gtx780 I bought new in 2013 at launch died last week !

same, but I need them so I can get a new card to put a water block on to put in the new rig I just built. Currently have my hybrid 1080ti's rad hanging out of the machine cause it wouldn't fit in the rear with the top rad in the case lol

@scapeinator1 currently have a GTX 1080 Ti I bought new upon release. Honestly, I've abused the hell out of this thing and am kind of shocked it lasted this long (it's been under LN2 OC'ing and other crazy stuff)

If by friends you mean those birds then it's not surprising as they probably apply magic pollen at night when you sleep as a gesture of thankfulness.
