    I feel the same way. The suspicious mentioning of random audio gear with price tags/retail value is a bit too much.

    It had a few anectodal observations, but you can tell that Denby is out of his element. He does reveal a few interesting thoughts, but the MQA comments are hilarious. Also, this is a short read by NYer standards :D

  Next Sennheiser marketing idea: hire designer of 2018 World Chess Championship logo to redesign HD700, release as HD7XXS, profit.

  Sennheiser giving the people what they want...countless rev’s that sound close/nearly better/not quite worthy of their best releases. Thx!

    It’s cool to see the new cheaper/tweaked releases, but just releasing a 650 with less distortion and some sub bass would go a long way for Sennheiser.

  Picked up a Sega Genesis Classic just for nostalgia on Black Friday. It’s really bad... even the music somehow has the wrong tone :S

  Mornings with classical music are great. Trying to remember the composer/conductor/orchestra/key/opus/movement/etc is damn near impossible

    Roon is a huge help for me. Spotify is not. I'm fortunate to have local classical station and they do a great job giving context as well.

    The problem is that I’m enjoying the FM tuner. It’s an old Pioneer and sounds really nice. I’m usually reading, and try to keep a pen/paper nearby, to jot down notes when I can catch them.

    I enjoy my FM tuner as well. Taking notes sounds nice. I will often grab my phone and use Shazam (with iPhone you just invoke Siri and say "what song is this?"). It saves the history so I can always go back to it.

    Indeed, although I'm a bit of a climb junkie myself. Singlespeeding, bikepacking, long distance racing ("ultra" but that word sucks) nerd here. Be warned, bikes can be even more a money pit than audio gear!

    Interesting. I've always been a runner, but I got addicted to the spin classes after trying them out. Since it's cold here, I enjoy the virtual ride at the gym on the big screen too. The only thing better would be wearing a VR helmet or something...

    Welcome to the thing you will do once your knees get fucked up from running! The only thing I like better than a spin class in the winter, is being on my own bike on a decent trainer in front of the giant TV in my own basement.

    I was just shocked he's still around. Apparently he moved to Ontario now(?) The weird thing was that he messaged me on HF in the last 3 months asking for some info re: Gungnir upgrading with Schiit. I helped him out and then today he's flipping out in emails, calling me some crazy rude names. Lol... He's insane.

    Oakville is actually kinda nice. The brick and mortar store wasn't bad either. Dude publishes an audio magazine which basically just sells a bunch of ads, but he was fairly knowledgable. The Devialet stuff is for the lulz mostly because of the price. Also, I'd rather just hear real speakers than all of these silly wireless gadgets.

    We do have a Bose Soundtouch at home, mostly to tune into CBC radio and catch up on news/current events in the morning, or (kind of) easily stream FLAC from the DLNA. Bose is overpriced as well, but Devialet is hilariously expensive. Explains why my beer was $9...

    We are heading up to Kingston tomorrow, so I'm guessing maybe they will have some snow. We haven't been touched yet, and oddly enough I'm actually missing the cold.

  4. BrettMatthews
    That's getting out my way, about another 1.5 to 2 hours more east. All of our snow has melted this week, it's still fairly cool though, stays right around 0*.
