        I love so, so much that their door locks used the same systems that their sites do so many people were effectively locked out of the building. I love it so much that I might divorce my wife and marry that thought.

      How they can sell hoses with aluminium couplings? Crush resistance means nothing when the galvanic reaction seizes it to the brass bib.

      he5xx and LP aint bad sometimes. It's a nice relaxed, light, spacious sound. Kinda in the ether, it's such a change from the usual.

        Interesting, I really can't compare. But my takeway from comparisons here was a good 560 wins out on overall technicalities and tonality. Bass, too. Different headphones. But the 5xx's definitely are quick in what I'd bet are similar ways. Quite light on their feet. Emergent would be the word. It's interesting how they can be almost be a little dark/mellow, yet resolving and dynamic.

        I gotta say, these things are treating me well tonight. The right headphones. They sound great! More resolving than I gave em credit for. The amount of 'peel' on synthesizers is like confectioner's sugar. The wide spacing in image sections pops-out everything.

        Stereo shifts/marches are also exaggerated in a neat way. Percussion sort of bursts into these large spaces like pressurized fresh air - to each element a discreet section.

        These things are pretty rad. It's a unique sound. There's some magic going on with dynamics that goes on an upwards climb starting from the midrange. Lil sub bass backing it up, it can have some oomph too. But the top punches past it.

        I considered going significantly up from them for a while. But at this point I admire the fact that they haven't died to the years of abuse yet. Blessed 305's. I long for certain things, but at the same time, they sound pretty okay. It feels like spitting on the universe to ditch em. Gotta die eventually.

        Why not add a LSR310s to the mix? Let the matching subwoofer take over the bottom end. It'll take some strain off of the midwoofers in the 305s and allow them to perform more effortlessly.

        Hah! I would... if not for the SVS SB-1000 I already have :P I do take advantage of that crossover feature, too. No splitting off of the DAC, and they really do open up. Betting the matching ones are better, but it still does the job.

        I figure I'll use em till they quit. By then, I can build myself something much, much better and throw the rest at a really solid amp.

        I was a Christian for half of my life. I had to stop counting sins and the good deeds. You will end up a worrying to death or becoming an arrogant saint. Take care of the people you care about, avoid being an asshole.

        What even is "a good deed"? No, are the people you care about happy and you can have a good/interesting conversation? If the answer is yes, good job.

        Always thought of it as a reminder to be slightly better than a pass to be an arschloch save for one brilliant instance ever 24h or so, but I suppose there are those that might interpret it that way?

        But yeah, call me an optimist but I'd much rather see it as a persistent reminder to actively seek to do nice things. The way it's phrased there's a lot of leeway for reading.

        All the streaming services seem to suck lately. In the last couple weeks, it appears that Tidal updated something on the backend that effectively broke the Tidal / Oppo integration. Currently trying to escalate a report ticket for them to fix it...

        Haha, they've got us by the balls. I'll never get why, though. All most of them need to do is figure out how to start listening to people instead of coming up with fancy ways to say "Maybe later (/never.)" while making more frustrating changes.

        Spotty's arguably the worst offender. They have burned me so many times. Keep saying I'm done but never leave. I don't think the frontend has ever improved.

        I recall Two Broke Watch Snobs having one or more podcasts about building a collection for $1000. For my money, I’d go with a Seiko Cocktail series, an Orion Hellcat, and a Casio Casioak. I think that would be right around $1000 and cover the tool, dive/sport, and dress watch categories.

        @fraggler I have two Expeditions, one chrono and one not, and the ticking is barely audible. I kind of find it satisfying. Can't really hear it down at my waist.

        I think the ticking was for syncing... military field watches and such.

        That's why they're my work watches. Though actually I think they can look really nice. Just really solid watches with bitchin and unique backlights that don't cost watch-head money to have a couple.

        @robot zombie, audiophilia stole the tone controls. You can't expect it to give full EQ now.

        But @PTS points out that, RME, coming from the semi-pro field, has no such sensitivities.

        Back when aromatherapy wasn't even a word, people experimented with stuff. Once, with flu and feeling very feverish, I put a few drops of essential oil of peppermint in the bath.

        You know why mint makes your mouth cold? Because it's actually a mild local anaesthetic. Yes: you can, I found, do that to your whole body. Not advisable. Especially if you're steaming feverish inside.

        Oh sure, a nice eucalyptus bath is fine. I just draw the line at directly and vigorously applying lathering mentholated goo on sensitive areas. And its not like it is subtle. Open up a bottle and 'feel the rush' in your nose.

        That's the other thing. They tend to be marketed as energizing more than soothing. For people who rub menthol on their nipples I guess.

        I occasionally wonder if the right answer is not to “optimize”/gamify every aspect of life? I mean, I’ve managed to live this long and only found a few “life hacks” as actually useful and not pedantic compulsive ways of organizing a task that only adds to the mental burden. A time saving way to do something better? Sign me up. A listicle of 19 items to make my CDO (see what I did there?) worse, nope.
