      The Sony WF1000XM3 ain’t bad when the fit is right. So worth it at half price.

        Got it half price through a friend in retail. Decent margin on this model. Bought it for travel. Noise cancellation is ok, but the pairing with different iOS devices is clunky.

        @Thad E Ginathom The nylon string stayed more level on the turntable than the rubber did. What really blows my mind is Marv mentioned using dental floss!

        It's thin string. Maybe some of it is waxed, but if not... probably what he happened to have around. Maybe thicker than button thread, but thinner than washing line!

        It might draw too much power- the receiver is probably powered from the USB connection. If it doesn't work, you could always stick a Wyrd inline, which would give you solid power (and also less noise if you ever plug it into something noisy like a laptop).

      When listening to HD650 from Jotunheim - nephew 1: "Wow, it's so clean", nephew 2 "where's the bass?". Guess which nephew is now disowned?

        I was just interested in her reaction to hearing HD650. I guarantee you that open vs. closed did not enter her mind. (If she was interested in them, I would have explained about open headphones.)

        Yes, the Valhalla 2 I've just replaced is probably a tad more refined, and the Ragnarok remains my benchmark amp for the HD650 - but the Jotunheim all-in-one is where I can accept personal audio as "good enough". Fuck audio-nervosa.

      I was skeptical but the UpTone USB Regen is actually working wonders with my NAD M51. What sorcery is this?
