John Wick 3 sucked. Somehow still better than every super hero movie after Kick Ass. Jan 18, 2020

    Hollywood needs to have like a ten year moratorium on super hero movies.
    
    Enough's enough already.

    I might agree if Wick was a super hero....he's human no? I'm all for suspending disbelief, but that shit's just crazy.

  Pretty disappointed in the Koss PortaPros. The bass is so damn wooly, which exacerbates its one notedness.

    I bought the Drop version on sale because I don't have time right now to fix my old PX100-IIi. The Sennheiser is better, but the Koss works fine for youtube and phone calls. KSC75 sounds too Grado.

    Still don’t like it backwards. Going to use it for soldering practice. Maybe add mmxc connectors. Do we have a diy cable thread?

    If we don't, I don't doubt we'll be getting one in a few hours or so. Best of luck! FWIW I did like the PortaPotties when I borrowed my boss's old set, but I wasn't quite as persnickety about bass as I am now. Would be interesting to revisit eventually, but I see where you're coming from RE: sound quality.

  Quick question if you don't mind. I've got several IEMs inbound. I'm curious as to whether you consistently use specific tracks to form first impressions. What type of artist or music is in your top 5 for assessing new gear?
  
  Thanks. I appreciate your work here and the tips you have provided.

    While I do have fall back songs for sibilance, sub bass, airy guitars, etc, My first songs will always be the songs I’m most obsessively playing for the past few months. These are the songs I’m going to know best, inside and out. Doesn’t do any good to test with someone else’s songs you don’t really know.

    Taxation systems that are shaped by lobby groups, and feed into a government that is massively influenced by yet more lobby groups, might be closer to theft. This Florida example sounds like another example of interest groups.
    
    I've lived most my life in countries with simple tax systems and reasonably effective public services, I can live with tax.

    Occasional comments on SBAF about having to sell off audio gear to pay medical bills hammer home how lucky I am to live in such places.
    
    I've had friend and family come down with strokes, cancer, what have you in different countries. Knowing that personal financial concerns were not overriding priorities at these times made me appreciate systems that work well.

    Once upon a time, there was an old-fashioned idea. Governments provided services, etc, to people, and people paid tax to finance that. Then that got lost underneath a whole heap of tax-is-evil propoganda. It was a simple idea, and a good one.
    
    Now, governments charge tax and /don't/provide the services. A simpler idea, and a bad one!
