At least it wasn't like the first ZX300 I ordered from Japan. Stolen off my doorstep, not to be covered by insurance, LoL. Anyway, I'm sure it will all work out in the end for you.

Seriously. Joybuy support sez they'll get it right next time. :-|

Of course, you could just go massdrop for a huge discount off of a $200 markup over retail! And, it's got a whopping 16gb of storage! You'll fit at least 4 albums on it!

real question: how do we know dudulunds aren't expensive knockoffs of MIFLEX?

The King of Capacitors seems to think they differ. http://www.humblehomemadehifi.com/Cap.html

Still speaks highly of them though

Good point. I was focused on Gungnir Multibit’s Slamming bass, but the midrange and imaging are more important

Just for theory's sake, what about something like a Dangerous Convert-8 doing Hi-Mid-Low-Sub for left and right, using all 8 channels? One single internal clock, fully synchronized.

Yeah, that seems like an ideal solution. I was thinking the greater DSP horsepower of the Gungnir Multibit must imply more taps or whatever and therefore longer latency. But yeah, using something like Convert-8 would address that issue for sure.

Heard a Seas clear cone coax implementation a couple days ago, but that one must have a screwy upper mid FR as that speaker sounded very odd. This one looks super even in comparison, but I don't trust TB's measurements as much...

Still looks very interesting. I wonder how the off axis response would compare to the smaller KEF coax driver.

Yeah, I'm seriously tempted to buy one just to measure. TB does seem to have a reputation for publishing iffy measurements.

@AdvanTech where did you get the plugs from? Over-ear protectors and a running forge don't mix well.

@Taverius I think I took advantage of a Black Friday sale with ACS custom, but I’m pretty sure there are many companies that do it. Much more neutral attenuation than foam or those etymotic-style plugs. So great for concerts.

Nice - after going through a bunch of DAPs I think ZX300a (especially is utilizing the 4.4mm balanced out) is unbeatable at its price point and really offers the full package on sound, usability & build quality

Oh wait, wrong meeting

My name is Kunlun and I've been off catnip for 6 months.

@Kunlun, they say that it is perfectly healthy if you vape it.

These 2.5mm jacks basically drop right into the hole the cable routes through: https://www.elliottelectronicsupply.com/2-5mm-mono-jack-panel-mount.html

Nice to know. Was just getting paranoid about mine yesterday. Found a jack so tight that the strain relief came off and slid up the cable when pulling out.

Embarrassing

Speaking of headphone models, does it bother anyone else that people with long hair just put the headphones on without moving their hair aside?

It does. It’s like they don’t know who their audience is

Someone here should grab these.

@zerodeefex too bad I missed meeting you when you were here.

@Poleepkwa yeah, the new cabinets are way more “domestic” :)

^^^ @shotgunshane? Bueller? :)

PM sent. I owned the zx2 way too long ago for a reasonable comparison but sent you some general thoughts.

For what it's worth, I did not like PAW 5000.

Only one or a pair?

I think this is going to @spwath. I was assuming no one would want the busted one of the pair (see the FR graph a ways down at https://imgur.com/a/w0gTNxC).

Oh man that's pretty bad

Link isn't working for me

Looks nice. Some time I'll build new cabinets for my speakers, they are a bit too small, and carpeted speakers are ugly.

Looking great, nice job!

Please show some pictures how it turned out.

Cat is more of a planar fan

@Poleepkwa will do

@bixby Had a similar experience. Dude shipped me a 30+ pound commercial coffee grinder in a box that was too big with only crumpled up newspaper around it. When I received it the top was sticking out of the torn box.

@philipmorgan Bummer, man. Always so disappointing to have to deal with stuff like that.

Whelp, the damage is definitely more than superficial damage to the one driver's magnet. FR plots: https://imgur.com/lsHKPDQ

Yours?

Yeah

You get used to it. Everything under 12" feels "petite".

Chi-fi is not cheap

Might be overpriced, look at Audio Nirvana classic ferrite 12 inchers.

I find it interesting how much more expensive the 10’s are than every other speaker in their line. It’s the same on Taobao. They are actually more expensive than on Amazon US. $330 USD each!

EH6922 is a nice new tube. Can’t beat it for its $20.

Thanks Bazeleo. Bought ‘em.

I'm a big fan of the GE 5670 which are adaptable to most 6922/6DJ8 applications, especially the older D getter ones. Not quite as tight of a low end as most NOS 6922 but really lovely air and soundstage, and can be found cheap with a bit of patience
