Oh, I was under the assumption that this was firsthand information from Campfire Audio. If this is just them claiming that something's gone wrong then I would be wary. Maybe make your own enquiry to Campfire? They've proven to be nothing but really helpful IME

I'd sure as shit want proof of claims. Have they provided any? and are they willing to return it?

I think you have reasons to think some sort of shenanigan is happening. If he didn’t consult you before sending claimed hinky iem to CFA, then it’s really on him. Something just doesn’t seem right.

From iPhone Apple EQ works great. Never tried on Macbook

Azla (crystal) tips helped with my fitment as I found the stock tips don’t seal well. I don’t know if there’s improved SQ but they are more comfortable.

I'm looking at Azla Crystal vs Max actually. I'm led to believe that I'm betweeen S and M tips but wanted to size down for comfort a less in your face sound.
Also, have to add that I like APP1 a lot better after burn in, could be the same for the 2.

Usually more risky for the buyer than the seller. PayPal doesn’t have protection for payments made via F&F.

got it straightened out. but FYI gift payments are very dangerous for sellers too because of "chargeback"

Always heard mixed things there -- PayPal supposedly usually penalizes the buyer for a F&F chargeback, but your bank won't necessarily, etc. -- regardless, the lesson is to not use F&F in any scenario where you don't have an existing relationship with that person (and sometimes even if you do).

I tried to find a thread to post this in but all the tech ones were pretty specific. Would a new 'Misc Tech Chat" thread be something that you would appreciate?

I use a camera lens blow-bulb. My keyboard is still yucky. It would be great if others can offer advice.

Use a soft paintbrush and a blower as just mentioned.

Cloth: must be microfibre. Miracle material that makes everything better. And even the cheap stuff works.

The bad news: it seems that micro fragments from microfibre are bad for the environment. Hey ho, sometimes seems like we can't win these days

HF encourages flipping by censoring all comments and ignoring all reports. Isnt that right @k4rstar ?

But now Elon Musk wants to buy SBAF for billions of dollars, Jude may rethink a few things. Merv's selflessness in holding out is exemplary.

@JK47 not exactly the types that'd show up to get called out. but we have a chronic shit talker and a Studio Tribute + Utopia owner there. people are people i guess

On the contrary. Experience and fading patience just mean you can see and feel it more.

If you're talking professional environments then there's the "Peter principle" which observes that people tend to be promoted just beyond their level of competence, and reside there failing forever more.

One of my old bosses used to sit in meetings blandly smiling close-mouthed, with his eyes closed and his arms crossed. I was (still am) close to him. So I asked him what he's thinking about during meetings. He said, "Sometimes, I'm just relaxing and enjoying the discussion. Other times, I'm accepting that I don't control the discussion."

If there's a Long & McQuade near you, you can order online and pick-up in-store when it's ready - for cheaper than you'll find it anywhere else incl. Sennheiser Canada: https://www.long-mcquade.com/82114/Pro-Audio---Recording/Headphones/Sennheiser/Replacement-Cable-for-HD650-Headphones.htm

thanks all! I will prob stick with 650 cable and use Blue Jeans for an RCA

@purr1n What's the difference between the hd580 and hd650 connectors (on the headphone side)? or are you just re-terminating the amp side?

I use Wise (nee Transferwise) to send money from GB to India. They changed their name quite some time back.

Yes, it is a good service. But it is aimed at financial transfer only, and I don't think there are any buyer/seller mechanisms or protections built in.

Wise has worked well for me with international xfers both coming and going; I don't think they offer paypal-style buyer protection.

thank guys. I'm trying to sell something to the US buyer hence that's why i'm looking for mutual protection. I did have good experience with Wise though (unless Paypal who charge me $30 on a $300 transaction lately and is just douchey in general)

They look like someone pulled a number out of an ass.

dude's trying to black mail me using my full name and address (local deal) and the s/n of the item he traded me. seemingly just empty threats but i will get in touch with phone company and legal just in case.

Ye gods some people are disconnected from basic courtesy.

yeah too many are like that, it's unfortunate. talked to the police and they advise me not to be by myself if to be done at my house, might want to look if I can give them my stuff and tell the guy to just pick it up from there though.

I think that'd mean UPS sending it to their local CBSA office and you going in there for paperwork, duty payment & pickup (how close to you?). Been 20 years since I did that myself, so maybe wait for other replies in the thread before deciding - but personally, I wouldn't take the time over the $80...

This reminds me I should stop complaining about shipping across the Pacific, as customs is generally simple and not that expensive here. When/If I move back to Canada, it could be more PITA getting stuff in from the US, now that I've found a reliable and economical forwarder specializing in Taiwan.

@Biodegraded thanks for sharing your experience. I think me contempting their businesses is big enough of a motivators already though

now he's saying the reason he lost is because his costume was too heavy so it tired his legs out - Deontay "No Excuse" Wilder

Really hope this doesn't turn into a trilogy, even though there's a clause that nearly guarantees it. I want to see Wilder eat more humble pie, and take his next L to build up a more honorable, lesser known fighter.

Wow.. the weight of his blinged out nazgul costume was too much. That’s something.

@purr1n was about to tag you actually, since I saw you posted that HD580 will sound differently depends on how worn the pad is. Mine is 90% gone and I actually like it that way. Super close to the ear = a much more exciting and "dynamic" sound for me. Put on new pads and the energy's gone but I had to do it, old worn pads were pretty gross.

I was going to try messing around with my 2002 HD580 but every time I put them on I find myself thinking it's not worth messing with -no mod will magically bring more bass extension and reduce distortion - that's just how the driver is. The rest doesn't need 'fixing'. Synergy is more important.

@E_Schaaf I do feel that Bill's mod makes it sounds less grainy (foam removal maybe?) but the HD600/HD650 grill also makes 580 become more gentle than I'd like.
But I do agree is synergy is more important, though I have a hard time imagining 580 would sound outright bad on any system.

gotta get on that SDR train and maybe try throwing some EQ in as well

Sell it to me!

well this was just a farewell, I sold it. now, what's next...?
