The horror, the horror: Willie Nelson covering Coldplay Oct 3, 2022 at 3:26 PM

  LauX: This amp is good with Audezes and bold sounding DACs, but it's horrible with Sennheisers, Grados, Focals, etc. Review pending.

    Magical synergy is hard to explain. It's not always dark gear + bright gear.

    Cavalli amps mostly perform better on orthos. Even the little Spark amp is goood on T50’s and just so so on Sennheisers. MCTH maybe the only exceptions from amps I’ve heard.

    There's already too much of both (Schiit and Chi-Fi). Please choose something else.

    I think you will really like them based on your amps. There are other pricey 300Bs, but they tend toward modern solid-state vs. American vintage sounding.

  Morbius was not that bad. If it were Disney-Marvel, the critics would have been strong-armed into giving it 66% Tomatometer instead of 15%

    Anyone who gave Blade 1 or Punisher Warzone a negative review and a positive review to a Disney Marvel film is a shill. They all have bad scripts and collapse under their own weight. Only Iron Man 1 manages to even fall apart towards the end like Nolan Batman and The Northman.
