Ok. Scratch that from the list then.

If memory serves, the selling point on this HP was that it had the same driver as the beloved Fidelio X2/X2HR, but supposedly with a "reference" (less fun) tuning. None of that seemed true or even made sense to me while owning it. Suffice to say I still have my Fidelio X2 (the very definition of fun tuning, for which I'm grateful) and not the A800.

I liked the X2 when I had it. Fun headphone indeed. Even if it was not very popular here.

I've never seen a tweeter that threads into the back of a woofer. Do the highs just pass through the dust cap?

Yes.There is a small throat that is covered with a acoustically transparent dustcap.

I was wondering if it might have been a case of the yokes extending too far out of the rails or whatever, but yeah either way seems like the material they used there was just weak. You'd expect better of an expensive product, sigh.

They have had build issues since the Spirit one days. I also thought that their premium HP would be more metal and less plastic.

Thank you @zerodeefex for warning me off their Spirit line, was genuinely tempted back then. Still, you'd think that sensible repairs would mean they cost LESS than buying a new can altogether. Jeebus, more than other things that's what's disgusting.

For home office?
I got Rode NT USB mini condenser mic with a cheap boom arm and use Koss Porta Pro from its headphone out. Rode connect is a free software that comes with it. Works well for home office.

For headphone with mic Jabra Evolve2 40 is good option

I have the Jabra Evolve 65 and it is great. For music not so much, but meetings and such, it is awesome.

I appreciate good booty and all, but BW was one of the least interesting chars for me in the MCU.

ScarJo is one of the most boring actresses around. Good for her though for raking in millions.

Dammit guys, it took me halfway through this to realise this was about a movie and not an amp using some kind of weird series of analogies that were going above my head.

I though most BA drivers struggle to go that high?

Spikes in measurements? 8k is likely coupler resonance so you won't hear it, 12k might be driver resonance. I'd be dubious about anything beyond ~10k in measurements, better to listen (presuming, unlike me, that you can hear much up there!).

Not spikes in measurements, but with listening I can hear some very strong peaks at about 8khz for me and another at 12khz.

Wow, been a while glad he is doing well after the Amazon issue. Great to see his taste bringing enjoyment to many people.

I was not aware of any drama. What happened?

I believe he was removed from the Amazon Affiliates program, and they refused to reinstate it.

It takes Ironman to finish a story. He was the weakest character, just a man in a suit powered by will-power and science. The weakest character in the universe defeated Thanos. So in the end a PortaPro is enough to make you ditch the most expensive audio system. Oh well...

Avengers knew. If I get rid of half my equipment, order will be restored.

"Endgame" means ran out of money. Or got bored. Or deaf.

The live was pretty damn solid, too, if you were okay with the fit.

I have never seen a package looking like that...luckily I took some pictures even before I opened it.

I can't bring myself to 'like' that. Lack of respect for other people's property never ceases to amaze me.

I feel sorry for Schiit on this. Their costs (shipping and import costs) are allready more than the cost of the amp.

tip: enable these plug-ins: Material Skin, Music Info Screen, Qobuz, DSD, etc.

Advanced: enable music and artist information (pretty complete album art downloading)

@Scott Kramer Got any other setup tips? Running the LMS with picore endpoints.

I’m not surprised. I think they’ve mostly been monetizing their brand and failing to innovate for a long time now. I wonder if Axell leaving was an early indicator

Their "pro" stuff is the broadcast stuff and it is good and priced high. I'm sure they will find a Chinese suiter to scoop up the name, kind of like what happened to Volvo and a bunch of hifi names like Quad, Wharfedale, Luxman, etc.

*crosses fingers Gibson does not buy them*

I cringed at the ACL but glad to hear it's all getting sorted! Also damn right Control is a lovely game. I adore the premise and the characters are just likable.

Had to google. Sorry you had the need for surgery, but hey, when it is needed, surgery is truly wonderful. I'm a huge fan.

Happy healing.

Deep breaths...deep breaths.
