Its an art in itself. Getting those three strings in alignment.

I know how to play the Rugrats theme song using just two fingers ...so take that!

I'm not great at it, and it takes me all day to get it to a point where I'm happy. But then I'll be able to pretend like I'm a virtuoso and practice Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2.

Tyll could do videos. Loved the one that he just winced through the listening... please remind me with a link: I want to watch it right now!

@ChaChaRealSmooth, thank you so much for that. It's a bad day: I needed it. Also, bookmarked for future.

In PA face coverings are required, but in our area stores aren't interested in enforcing... even for their employees. Sad, but somewhat understandable since our numbers are so low... many don't take it seriously.

@spwath, I'm using a G903, and it's out of warranty. 2nd time this happened, same mouse.

Ended up feeling and buying a Deathadder. Thought I might get a Basilisk since I liked the G502 back in the day but liked the Deathadder shape better

I actually had the same thing happen to my g602, and I think twice, they replaced it the first time. I have an mx master now, I really like it. Have had it for like 2 years with no issue

Yeah, the customer service wasn't bad. Just expected more from a mouse that costs what it does. My old wired G502, for referemce, works perfectly fine.

Wish the Deathadder came wireless (spoiled I know)

You shouldn't feel guilty about enjoying the things you love.

What game? I always recommend Max Payne 3 whose OST was by Health. Amazing electronic soundtrack.

“You can’t take it with you.”

And to be absolutely clear, I don't quite understand IEMs, or how much FDX1 scales, or what output impedance is best, etc. Nor do I really recommend doing this (don't think Donald had IEMs in mind while designing)

I'd prefer calling it The Last Dance (yeah right MJ)

For schiiters endgame is Ragnarok and the fact that there is already a ragnarok 2 available tells you everything about endgame in this hobby

It wasn't a *game* in the first place.

My wife does that. I play her something I like. She loves it, plays it to death over the next few weeks. Not on headphones, so everyone in the house gets a mega-dose. Then I never want to hear it again.

That reminds me of the classical learning dilemma of exploration vs exploitation. lol

Often found myself unable to escape from the latter....

I used to do that too. Or...

Suddenly discover the song everybody else got fed up with years ago.

My neighborhood butts up to BLM land. Almost once a week a new "have you seen this dog..." goes up. My wife and just look at each other and see who can say "Scooby Snack!" the fastest...

How? My theory would be humans around for longer intervals = more food dropped on the floor...

@crenca Yeah, lots of coyotes in my area. We keep him indoors though, so no worries there. Neighbor's dog did get attacked a while back, but appears fine.

Play something with a decent groove, especially Jazz or Funk and your feet tap. That is it. There are headphones that don't do that and I don't care, off they go. One catch, it needs a bit of power and then you understand. It is similar to the AKGs in that way.

What I particularly like about it, relative to HD600, is that the mid-bass makes orchestral recordings sound more realistic. Caveat: As long as the other gear doesn't make it sound too dark.

I lean towards HD600 because it works to offset the foibles of my other main cans, but the 650 is, as many have noted, a remarkably comfortable listen that you can just get lost in for ages. It works unmodded for basically every genre that doesn't mandate sub-bass excellence!

Yeah, sleep isn't necessarily going to be on the agenda. Plan on spending some time, then will write up impressions later.

Glad the fit worked out for you - interesting that it's really comfortable for you given our somewhat similarly shaped large heads.

If you recall, does your individual headphone have a bigger headband than the one that showed up at the meet last time? I tried again with a different pair just to be sure and I still got a headache due to fit.

I was curious about that too given that we have similar large Asian heads. I don't think they're any different, and I certainly haven't heard anything about Raal changing anything about the design.

Headstage is small still, but once again, great imaging. Also, the voicing means that words are really easily discernable. Some sudden noises WILL make you jump; you were warned here first. Really, nothing to complain about. Movies is where I'll use my ZMFs or Utopia; depends what I grab first.

Move the good stuff away from the computer, focus on the music, lol. This is why I have a cheaper setup bro.

Not sure which zmf to which focal, but I have been loving the Universe Suede pads on my Auteur. It is a great hybrid sound between the tone master zmf and more clinical elex

@raif Verite to Utopia.

Oh yes, that is quite the jump. Godspeed :)

I feel like sometimes there's no way around a high price tag for most interesting hobbies out there - but spending will get more focused once someone figures out what they like/want/are doing to offset the higher costs.

Have a few kids!

^LOL no. I'm barely responsible enough for me; asking me to raise a kid is disaster.

I came as fast as I can....

Which Japanese whisky are you killing now?

I actually ran out of the Japanese whiskey. All of it went into my gullet and was pissed out in the toilet.

About the RFI @mscott58 reported: I am not experiencing any (it's the same unit). Not sure what could have caused it in his case.

That’s what she said

A good problem to have. I just resigned myself to the fact that I'll probably never find a Liquid Crimson at a price I'd be willing to pay.

I love jamiroquai! Funky af

Jamiroquai is actually someone I forgot about until somewhat recently when he popped up on my Amazon Music radio (I use it to find new songs). Needless to say I rectified the situation immediately.

Knxwledge - 1988 showed up at my place today. Shit slaps yo

Foobar updates are only good if the components that you are using is also updated and only works with the newer version of Foobar.

JRiver charges for major version upgrades.

But very rarely are new versions of jrmc worth getting. I'm still on v22. It still plays all my stuff. (Haven't used it in ages since I got Roon, I will admit.)
