      Shortly after introducing a 2K cable, Danacable unveiled the Nirvana...3.5K for a HP cable. Next up the Orgasmatron for 6K. Poor suckers...

      HD580 bested all my other headphones and everything else I've heard ever. Scaling is over HD650/HD800

        Dynamat, coin and no back foam with DIY cable. The headphones themselves are the cheapest component in my system and by a good margin even after tubes, cables, source etc.

        Yeah I heard them in Japan, they make the 650 sound like a bass cannon. I didn't enjoy it too much.

        There's also job security to think about too. If economic downturn hits, will the contract work still come in at the same pace? I'd bet not, as companies would likely tighten purse strings. I bet once you factor in healthcare, equity compensation, taxes, etc. that the management job likely is much less than half the pay cut.

        Think you also sold me with "life long dream."

        You sound like someone from our erp team. Do experience, because everyone in the manufacturing industry is going to erp (dynamics 365 for us) and are stuck on old legacy systems. Plus u can parlay it into another position when you get bored.

        Tried everything but it's the peak itself that's blown the right channel, possibly the output stage.
