Fuuuck. This world is going to shit.

Sri Lanka has suffered enough. Now this, after just a few peaceful years.

He's trying to get the HE5 for half the price - why not try? LOL

Lol, the Utopia was also marked as budget. I want some of whatever those guys are smoking. Or just their paychecks...

Everything is budget next to the ShangriLa

They even have Hifiman Shangri-La tagged as "Budget". :)

Kimi No Na Wa is still pretty nice though.

Big fan of RADWIMPS 2 and 4 personally. As far as I could tell, they're among the not-too-bad of Japanese albums when it comes to compression.

I quite liked RADWIMPS 4 as well. I was glad that they played mostly their older songs, apart from the Kimi no Na Wa themes and 3 others from the latest album. And it certainly helped that the sound engineers got it right this time, unlike the muddy mess that was ONE OK ROCK's outdoor concert last year tuned by deaf engineers. Admittedly it might have helped that I was just 6 persons away from the stage.

Are the cables that they're sending the ones with the 1/8" connector like they originally came with?

@DigMe yeah its the same connector so you can enjoy the full benefits of your phone's DAC/amp with the HD6XX

I don't use my 6XX with my phone for the most part.

I've heard good things about Apizza Scholls

Kizuki Ramen and Izakaya, best ramen I've had stateside.

There's ramen here in Singapore as well, would be interesting to find out how they compare!

That would be amazing. My studies are very much concerned with Ireland, and actually around Cork, so I really envy your opportunity.

Aye, it's been a better experience than I thought. Though I think I may have met more Italians than Irish during my time here...
Do you stay in Cork though? If so it was a pity we didn't meet.

Interesting bit on the Italians. Actually, no, I haven't been to Cork yet.

I'd like to see a measurement rig reflecting the environment of the intended end user

Fuck me, I hate hot weather, I was designed for a colder climate. I believe part of my ancestry is from the Laplands of Sweden.

Because I'm an ass, I'd pay for your one-way ticket to Singapore right now.

I spent a few weeks traveling in Malayasia and Thailand. Stopped for a day in Singapore to visit a friend. Jebus, I never stopped sweating,like Niagara Falls, the whole trip. What's funny to me is when I meet people who have moved to the US from some hot part of SEA, and it's summer time here and they're cold.

Also, I could spare small chunks to SBAFs in Singapore since I have got quite a bit leftover.

Damn, I knew I should have paid full price for mine instead of getting a near-new used one for 40% less..

Not really. HDVD800 works well with HD800 stock. Read here: http://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/best-amps-for-sennheiser-hd800.330/

It was more of a reference to the "...and I feel fine."

Thanks @purrin. I thought my ears were shot at 6khz. I probably could have gone on for a fair bit longer but a crowd was starting to form and the sennheiser booth had hooked up the amps such that at least 2 others would be forced to listen to my music.

I reset my browser and all seems good now. You?

I'm just sticking with chrome dev for now which works fine.

Never mind resetted chrome is alright on my side as well.
