So good man haha

Honestly, it was hilarious. My type of movie to turn brain off to.

I really liked it. So different from most movies i have seen but it seemed a little reminiscent of a Willy Wonka type of thing.

A real nail-biter, that one.

Yes! The wife and I really enjoyed both seasons! Steve and Marty were great, of course, but what a surprising delight Selena was.

That was close!

I saw it on the plane to Japan which added a level of entertainment for me. I think it was tremendous, silly fun.

I enjoyed it. Reminds me a bit of Shantaram for some reason.

Does this company typically do the "asian" tuning?

I haven't heard any IKKO iems or really read much about them before.

If measurements look good when some finally get them in their hands, I might pick one up and review it.

One of the reasons we love you. Frontality, in good measure, is always positive.

I'd never heard of it, but I never know what's being showed. The only reviewer whose tastes are broadly like mine, Ann Hornaday of the Washington Post, wasn't impressed.

The Northman was the best film I've seen in theatres since 2019, tied with Licorice Pizza. Before that it was another Eggers, the Lighthouse.

On account of the widely differing opinions, I'm becoming interested in seeing it. Thanks y'all!

Just got mine in. They’re technically great but like every Chi-fi ortho iem they are tilted bright and bass light. Too. Much. Treble! The ergonomics are also ridiculous. They’re 3X longer than the S12.

And iem ortho drivers aren’t exactly thick. I have no idea what is going on in that super long chamber or why the long faceplate. The whole design is ridiculous and just falls out of my ears.

They do seem to have pretty linear response though, as in, if they could be damped less to down tune the driver they would probably sound great. Vocals are upfront and gorgeous, so they wouldn't likely get recessed in the process. I will be drilling holes into the back of mine to down tune the driver and see what happens but I still can't wear them. Maybe I'll send them to you if they sound good Shawn

Batten down the hatches! Stay safe SGS.

I used to live in Hernando county. Those years when Ivan and Katrina were around. We were so lucky there 2003-2007

Hope you are able to stay safe!

Buy me two and send me one for free.

Are you speaking of the 5k? I've had one for about a year. Not much chatter around here about it.

Yes recently received the 5k. Without EQ it’s sonics are solid, nothing outstanding. It’s slightly warm and meaty. With EQ, particularly autoEQ functionality, it is utterly fantastic.

I'd like to find a good eq for my tape modded 3DT but I've always liked the setup with Minor adjustment.

Interesting! I never got vinyl flat to really be effective. And heat always ended up adding noise to the surface. Maybe this one will be better?!

This is $300, surely some local store offers a flattening service on a per record rate that would be cheaper than this? How many people have so many badly warped records that this becomes a good deal?

If the temperature controller works as described, $300
is a bargain to me.

Thank you, SGS!

Definitely large but 60% lighter than its Turii predecessor.

Assuming you have it by now... care to share preliminary impressions? Very curious what you think!

Haven’t received it yet. Shenzhen Audio told me they’ve shipped it but no tracking yet.

I've been getting emails from Spectrum for over a year. Someone has incorrectly configured my email with them, we don't even have Spectrum in Canada. I click the unsubscribe link every time I see one, but it clearly does not do anything. Fortunately they mostly go to my spam box now.

I’m a huge fan of businesses implementing services like statuspage.io. Slack has a decent example of a status page implementation at status.slack.com

Here’s a somewhat decent example of what I expect, but rarely see from companies: https://status.slack.com/2022-02-22

I did pick up a copy of the record store day Ledbetter Heights.

Early digital stuff I guess. Wasn't KWS's first album on ADAT or something? Anyway, it was around that era.

I dunno why you guys bother sorting into *26 completely unrelated categories. I sort into three groups 1) good albums, 2) albums with one good song, and 3) all the rest. (sometimes the forth is "I don't remember")
*this is an obscure joke reference, I wonder who will recognize it*

By first name in folders as below, so I don't have to scroll so much. Number of artists is about the same in each:
A-B
C-E
F-L
M-R
S
T-Z

Edit: oops, totally missed "physical" ... I don't have any anymore (and happier for it) :P
(slept <5 hrs cuz baby wouldn't)

By genre, then group by favorites, non-favorites, stuff I need to revisit and stuff I haven't listened to yet.

i mean, i sign George Herbert Walker Bush on all my LPs hoping someday a collection of esoteric electronic music will eventually, illegitimately, make its way into his presidential library.

Steward: "Oh yes, I'm glad you asked, but yes, former president Bush was indeed a fan of Venetian Snares and Aphex Twin, as evidenced by his large collection of vinyl LPs all impeccably signed on both the gatefold and the sleeve, as you can clearly see here."

Another answer to the op is: those who were generous (and brave) enough to lend them to friends. Or, at least, take then on house visits.

People on the buses, albums under their arm... long-lost sights of the past. It was a better world back then!
