Only a temporary change. Will be reverting in a day or two.

@JK47 - I grew up playing cornet in a brass band in the 80s / early 90s. The musical director of the time bought the sheet music of Falco's "Amadeus" for the whole band because she thought I'd like it. It didn't work well in translation, but it's the thought that counts.

There's a true story about an 18-year-old who was filing out a job application, and for religion wrote: "Mozart." He got the job anyway.

Hiding from who?

Furries: The lovers of animals

My Arms, Your Hearse is my fav Opeth, not quite the same pummeling visceral energy as the following albums, but has a melodic pull to me some of the others have less of. Damnation is an accessible entry to Opeth though certainly not their best

I’m with @SoupRKnowva. “Ghost Reveries” is my favorite Opeth album, and it sounds even better when HDCD is decoded.

Listening to Blackwater Park for the first time on Lyr 3 was a major peak moment for me in this hobby.

Cause We've Ended as Lovers, great track. Rest easy, Jeff.

Just done listening. RIP.

The news affected me more than I would've expected.

Welcome back

Thank you... and best wishes for this and future years to you too :)

I need therapy just reading that.

I need therapy after trying to work out the geometry.

You must be a Tool fan. :)

LOL

Sample variation could be one. Another could be that the things that bothered you years ago no longer do, so you hear it slightly differently.

LOL - I only sold my Clears 3 months ago before buying them again last week. Not enough palatte cleansing has gone on to change my tastes or perception.

I think you're on the money re sample variation. A whole different beast, or rather the same beast but without the birth defects.

I'll let myself out.

I thought about buying one out of curiosity. But I'm 99% 2 channel and also own a SW51 for headphones. So I figured I'd let one more Nitsch be available to someone who really wanted it.

@crazychile If you're still interested in at least listening to one I'll ping you after mine arrives.

Changed my decision and my post
Also, an enjoyable album

…. the bollocks, here is the …

"Never mind"

Hmmm... Good advice. Fact is that I mind far too much. I wonder how much of my day I spend minding, about insignificant things, mostly.

Cheers.

Clear Pads I got a ton of them to last for a while in contrast, please buy them otherwise I going to fill a pool of Clear pads and diving in like Scrooge McDuck

Make sure to buy Elex pads every time they pop up on Drop. A fair compromise usually.

I bought two sets of Clear pads. At the rate they go that should last me to... February, maybe.

I just checked the c6 price because i was hoping he made a similar near 40% off error! very nice. that's a great sub for the $$

Have you heard any of the ATC subs?

I have heard the c1, seems to be solid but i haven't really compared it directly to other subs

NIOSH Sound Level Meter is the best I’ve found.

I use Armstrong Sound Level Meter. 30 second sweep, shows average and peak SPL. Can't comment on the accuracy

I use the NIOSH too.

On a cold, damp morning, if I wasn't drinking Indian chai, I'd go for a cup of the strong brown stuff as served in a good-old British fry-up caff. :D

@Thad E Ginathom Is that the Indian equivalent of builder's tea? My client swears by the stuff, cause he says you can use it to repair walls.

"... builders' tea"

I don't know, but sounds about right.

Them's fightin' words! LOL

But having auditioned even the entry level ATCs, I'm coming to a similar realisation: That headphones can't compete with competent speakers. I'm still more treble sensitive than I once was, though.

I'm 70, wearing hearing aids, and have lost enough of my treble (HF) hearing that I can't make out words clearly without them.

But somehow, crap sound sometimes hurts even more than it used to.
