IMO, SBAF delicately balances being very involved in the hobby and keeping it at arm's length, at the same time. Not indulging so heavily in the hobby that it becomes exhausting and draining, but always keeping its ears to the products and companies that are doing something better and different than the rest.

Hobbies need breaks too

Agreed @YMO, shit can feel like a job if you let it.

Art takes time.

FWIW, I'm talking to ext1 about a JAR600b now and he's hoping to have it done by the end of summer. He indicated that he has a backlog and also indicate that he may not be able to work on the project past end of summer.

Sorry guys- and thank you for your patience. Plan is to finish them when I get back home this summer, but can't make promises (many reasons, quality standards being one). I want to finish them at summer because I don't know if I can do 6x0 work at all after Aug.

Yup, gain for sure.

Awesome - thank you very much. I hope it solves the popping when holding up/down on the volume.

Luckily I'm invested elsewhere and don't need to invest $600 for a year. Do we receive our sent in pair and not someone else's? I don't think I ever asked that.

I hope they don’t make any new world maps on that day!

You weren't shitting us ...

"Glamdale" woulda worked just fine too, like the one in Calif.

It’s better than their new crop of stuff

Wouldn't happen to be n3rdling's HE90 clone, would it?

Yes, exactly - I kept trying to think of his real name and I keep coming back to Mikhail, but then I go down the Singlepower brain worm. I knew there was a backwards letter too - that's my thing LOL

Maybe just retitle Baldr’s thread “Effing Schiit Happened”

It wouldn't be over 5k pages

I think new accounts would flood it but there might be a solution. What if we had a thread but he used a different account called Jane and we replaced schiit with piiss? Nobody needs to know..

I'm amazed that there are actually existing specimens out in the wild. Hope you get that sorted.

It's like 1 of 25 or less I think. @zerodeefex had/has one too. I think something went on the analog side. It powers up fine.

@Ksaurav402 - if they are released at CanJam, I might have to purchase them. Sennheiser fanboy unfortunately.

available for preorder in Amazon with launch date as 21st Feb

I guess that aligns with your theory. CanJam is the 28th I believe. I'm hoping the treble region isn't too bad. The 660S was too bright for me.

I’m really dense, how would one evaluate the Piety as a preamp?

Do I need extra cables if I want to use it, like a madman, as a preamp for my LAuX? This is what’s going on now: https://i.imgur.com/ze3PWaG.jpg

You'll need to put your source RCA's into the "In" on the Piety and then connect a set of RCA's from the "Out" of the Piety to the "In" on the LAuX. I'm using mine as a preamp into a stereo setup though, with an amplifier that has preamp in's.

Well, now it logged in as standard. Hmm.

Quite happy for my h-f account to be inoperable. I don't operab it anyway.

I got a feeling that's not the end of -10db switch.

They should have made the Magni 3+ the iemagni. It's' such a better amp than the heresy. Maybe it's not quiet enough though or something.

Holy crap that impulse response at 29min is incredible

i wonder if this scales up and you can make a huge panel of them

Maybe Marv will make an appearance in one of these videos now that he has a nice microphone :D

Haha just to be clear I was poking fun at the (probably not fake but yet-to-be-confirmed) recent Audeze redesigns with the rounded edges and sliders that go through the bands. Not a fan. Genuinely didn't catch that in the vid though, good eye!

Here are the two photos side-by-side as I posted on HF. It is the beginning and end of the current LCD shape probably. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E61MdF-XoBAh_w5.jpg:medium

WTF I don’t ever look at head-fi. Post it here.

Link would be appreciated if not too much trouble, but yes a copy/paste would be best perhaps (I don't really go on HF either)

Nothing important, just trying to keep the playing field level-headed, but lets push forth the mighty dollar. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/introducing-the-audeze-lcd-r.958720/post-16540792

Maybe this should be in the meetups subforum? I'd bet it's a lot more than 1 or 2 SBAF members...

These are a bit smaller than the Brainwavz pads; you'll need to cut a slit in the skirt from edge to seam to get them over the baffle. They're a more supple pleather than the Brainwavz, maybe also softer foam, and are a bit less bassy. Smallish openings, not good for big ears.

What pads are on them now? He used 3 different pads over time AFAIK.

I believe they are the HM5 angled pads currently. I have old Mr. Speakers pads, but I have no clue what any of them are at this point. The paradox has some good traits hindered by some closed-back type struggles.

You should follow your instinct. lol

HA HA HA! Heck-No. I think I prefer the HD58X over the HD660 out of the "New Kids on the Block"

You are a bass-head, admit it. Find a "good" DT1350 and you will be amazed.
