Deep thoughts - Friend, Male, from Amsterdam

Pyrate

I read too much into the news again. My apologies. Just skip The Hague and go to Maastricht. Skip Amsterdam, go to Texel and chill. Jul 7, 2025

      Stricter lockdown in NL. Life will be quiet, really quiet. On the bright side, the dead are allowed to invite a 100 people. Nice...

      The Sennheiser HD250 II Linear is one of the best headphones for Metal. Not just sound. It is comfortable and you can head bang properly...

        Perla (Dutch brand) espresso grind (4/5 strength and/or intensity), sold per 250 grammes at Albert Heijn. Smooth, strong and flavour. Not too expensive compared to the "hip" brands. I have to buy more...

        I bought the normal display. I do not like the negative/reverse display for everyday use. Then I prefer a dark dial with yellow or white indices. On LCD screens it annoys me.

        Found a pic. The owner ended up using a UV-cured resin to fix the cracking. They're relatively inexpensive so may be worth the risk but also seem pretty shoddy. Observations derived with sample N=1 of course.

        Also microsuede pads are excellent with the HD600 IMO, gives it a nice clockwise tilt: https://i.imgur.com/0UBRRJP.png

        The earpad of my HD600 popped off and it does not want to pop back in. I do not mind buying new earpads, I mind that f'ing lack of mechanism to hold the earpads in place.

        The way earpads were secured on the Brainwavz HM5 was great. Too bad the HM5 is made of cheap plastics, it literally crumbles to pieces...

        Agh, sorry to hear. The foam on my set are about flat as tortillas but they're still secure, and given how much original Senn pads cost and how there's no real aftermarket option for em I'm just keeping them as-is for now.

        Hope you get a great replacement set in though!

        wish I could use that. I did until I found temp out of nozzle was 155 F, way below needed 193 for proper extraction. At this altitude we got to go vigorous boil and pour to get it right.

        NL is heading into the BoJo-zone. That is the problem. Testing was done on a small scale, not a large scale and the organisation charged with updating the numbers lags behind. The numbers are not to be trusted because the cabinet has been lying from the start. Save yourself and your loved ones.

      James Hoffman was right. His approach to the French press is good. Thing is 15 grammes per 250ml is too little for me. I am at 20 grammes.
