I feel like Schiit’s analog team is just flexing right now…the Jot2, Lyr 3/+, Piety, and Mjolnir 3…and those are just the ones I’ve heard. Nov 26, 2023

  Just got my Liquid Spark from the recent clearance sale - I have no idea how this flew under my cheap ass radar until it died.

    Should've gotten a more expensive radar, then it wouldn't have flown under it.

    Yeah but that goes against the whole not spending money thing.

    I saw it in a Monoprice email but I didn’t post in the deals thread because I figured everyone here got monoprice emails

  Welp it finally happened - my Emu Teak gimbal broke. Time to start looking at fixes...

    HFM headband works for those...like the HE400SE. I also have not tried this one, but it looks decent - https://www.ebay.com/itm/384445699921.

    Oof, sorry to hear. Happened while I was taking off my old X00 Ebony, left a nice scar on my temple, hope nothing as bad happened. Best of luck with the repair!

    @Azimuth that's the best thing I've seen so far - thanks a bunch
    
    @Lyander OH NO that's rough, luckily this was Klutzy Josh Drops A Thing so no injuries this time.

    @ColtMrFire that's not the message I got from reading your review. I read your review as "it's good but I feel like it isn't worth it." Which btw is a totally valid opinion and I respect it.

    It's good = I like it. Feels pretty straightforward to me. There are lots of things I don't want to pay for that I like.

  OK I wanted to like the HD8XX but I'm having trouble listening to it. The harping on how weird the mids are is spot on...

    Eh just people chattering. Closing registration had a much larger effect on noise, but did attenuate signal a bit :)
