We won't be doing Supra Peerless most likely so this is a one-off. Just want to see it go to offset moving costs and pads. No driver grills so handle with caution. Don't use a high-OI amp. Sounds great! Pics / measurements - https://imgur.com/a/ZIyia2d

Does this use the same peerless driver as in the Gen P?

Ya

I'm moving cross-country, ask me again in October :)

Ok, thats alright, hope you like the new place you are moving to. Will contact you later in October:)

yes! curated vs manufactured forced association. synergy matters.

I especially loved the melodious sound of your voice

"synergy matters".

The meet also showed how synergy makes a bigger difference than using the best inputs (we used mostly USB), source (we used a lot of streaming), or miscellaneous nervosa (we took care of almost no nervosa type stuff). A very good reminder.

this is going to be one ugly mofo, lookin like the Bane. May never see the light of day... but can't leave any stones unturned.

East Coast has public transportation when it's working and taxes that do something for you. As opposed to West Coast: endless urban sprawl, no concept of public transportation, and taxes that ...

@purr1n Northeast Coast. Southeast has shit public transportation.

Have fun out there, from one New York transplant in California, there are times where I miss NY.

When there's a measurement to show how different parts of the soundstage are emphasized or not and with what tonal colours I'll consider them, otherwise a flat line on a graph does nothing for me.

I wonder if this is similar to the Coke/Pepsi debate where initially neutral isn’t preferred, but the frequency profile may be favorable over the longer term?

Gee I always though measurements were a tool, not a goal. I must be some kinda dumb.

Do some digging on household powders (e.g. milled flour, cornstarch, etc.) and try some tests trying to pass materials through the metal fabric. I did this with Aeolus's screen when I was farting around with modding denon 5200s and it led me to the Aeropress filters for quick and dirty testing.

@Lyander My thoughts exactly, thankfully I can easily retune the same driver/enclosure for + 8dB at 40hz relative to 1k. Just wanted to challenge myself for dead flat. Flat isn't fun though :p

For the record I was taking the piss a bit, sub-bass is fun but for a lot of music it can actually have deleterious effects (which is why I love the HD600). Still kicking myself I can't get on ETA yet but lockdown's getting worse here again. Headdesk.

might be anti-audiophile of me but I would much rather lose 5dB of top octave than 5dB of bottom octave. I'm a basshead and everyone knows it. Whoops.

Aww, we have a whole new Cat-egory of headphone stands now. ;)

Happy birthday you old mucky muck

"turning 9 thrice!" --- *young* mucky muck!

Happy Birthday, E_Schaaf :)

My buddy had a pair of those. Said there were very warm. Sansui copies before Pioneer started copying JBL speakers.

Played some sweeps and there was definitely a 300-500hz lift that made them a little woofy, they were pretty muffled at first dynamically too but taking the grills off helped quite a bit.

Both the red and the blue teams like the ETA move.

It is quite difficult to claim a preference from a F/R alone IME, but as a game I think I'd like blue.

Red

The real fun begins when you present another graph, same as an old graph, but with colors switched. Do people choose the same color or the same wave?

Wow, really? I have 58X, so this is surprising. Never heard 660S.

Is that based on value IYO, or actual performance based?

Haven't heard the 58X but I thought the 660S was as bad as people said it was.

You know, make it "Acid" and add "House." Remember the KLF?

The best way to fly. As long as Pin 3 is not hot (which it is not on the Burl).
