    I need to watch season 3, loved the first 2 seasons. I feel it was better than stranger things.

  I have been downsizing since leaving Georgia. The amount of stuff I’ve gotten rid of is staggering. Still so much to go.

    Just from an audio perspective, I think I could make do with iPhone, headphone dongle, and FDX1 (blue filter) - only if I was forced to let go of Auteur & supporting chain. Otherwise, have donated shit-ton of books to local library as well as unused clothing to various local churches/charities.

    We filled up a 3 ton dumpster. Made about 20 trips to Goodwill. Yardsale, Craigslist, Marketplace, LetItGo, etc. Crazy, yet liberating.

  Any chance you have heard Lotoo S1?
  
  Jun 12, 2020
  2. shotgunshane
    I haven’t. I wonder if they’re able to impart some Lotoo mojo on the sound or is it just more of the standard SoC stuf?

    My current setup is FD01 with my laptop or iphone dongle. Super convenient but I know FD01 has more to give. I’m done with gear and look for simple solutions. Anything else you would recommend?
    
    Jun 12, 2020
  4. shotgunshane
    I like the Shanling UP4 for its dual dac mode. But biggest gains with FDX1 are on desktop stuff. Probably best just to stick with convenience for mobility.

  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.

    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.
