My production pair sounds really off compared to my pre production pair. Something is amiss.

I couldn’t yank the Stride outta my ears fast enough. That treble is turrible.

I had a problem with one of the earbuds having the phase reversed. Drop told me that others have complained of the same problem.

All jokes aside, and I was making an effort at levity above, IQ is just a measurement like any other— subject to skilled interpretation. It's honestly cool that you qualify for Mensa if your OP was sincere, but while the boost in confidence is always well-deserved, don't let a number on a page influence your perception of personal worth; you're more than that.

Here's another proverb for @songmic's day... It's not how big it is it's what you do with it that counts.

Sorry I can't match @Kunlun's literary flair and wisdom on this occasion!

I prefer to think that my awesome gear, fancy car and huge penis boost my self confidence by 19%

I thought of myself as being pretty lucky to see 3 bands I loved while I was there, it was the first time for all three of them!

December? Likely they're thinking the same thing...

TFW you realize it's a N. Korea tour

Oh, I was talking nonsense --- deleted.

Says he has MOT status. His site appears to be down.

He clearly does what he's paid for.

If there’s one good thing I can say, it’s that Michael Lavorgna did eventually get canned.

Whoops! Sorry, thought I was answering a current post.

Clearly they have no idea what output Z really means, or perhaps they are trying to hide the fact that their amps have a high output Z because it might scare away potential customers. Output Z is, in the literal sense, the impedance of the amp's output, NOT the range of the load (headphone) impedance that "the manufacturers think" would work well with their amps.

Well, half of the consumers don't know the difference between sensitivity and impedance.

Maybe it indeed is 8..600 ohms, hehe. More true, but also more offensive.

The HE-5/Code-X only comes in 4 screw version. It is the HE-6/Code-6 that comes in early 4 screw or late 6 screw versions.

Aren't you forgetting Sundaja?

Some forums have probation periods for new members where they don’t have certain priveladges like creating threads. I guess that’s an option for non contributors who are “rando” and “acquaintance” status

Maybe. Or maybe the mods (yes, I know, more work! Sorry) could just roll them up into a "Latest from Massdrop" thread.

Another maybe... ban the people on those threads who tell us what the thing is going to sound like.
