As long as we don't start growing hair out of our eyeballs and all

Would love this. Not because of some audiophile need recover high frequency hearing but rather for tinnitus relief

Google shows a lot of research into this problem. From drug-based to genetic engineering. It's too much for my non-medical mind to process. But I think I am far too old to be a beneficiary of any successes.

(Talking about the hearing loss, not the arse hair ;) )

Just called with a sales question but turned into a fun hobby chat. So easy to root for Raal's success with people like Danny behind it.

I second this, I had a chat with him years ago when I had some questions about the SR1A. Great guy indeed.

oh... a better-late-than-never sort of pissed! That's a good sort. :)

Peelated

Wish I didn't live in a apartment that doesn't appreciate loud noises!

Wife wishes I could just sit content, but I'm really curious about eeking out whatever potential remains in the Moabs, which I don't plan on moving on from anytime soon. Will definitely post comparison impressions.

Very excited to hear what you think, especially if you feel they are more dynamic and have better low end. Those were the two aspects lacking with Aegir with my nearfield LS3/5a setup, despite them having the most seductive vocals of anything I have tried. Would be wild for me to pump dual Tyr power into these little monitors, but I have to admit I would be curious to try it.

Yeah, it's not hard to beat Aegir's dynamics and low-end grip.

I guess the embargo lifted as there are some reviews/impressions starting to show up now on YT...and it looks promising. I can't wait to see what SBAF members think :)

After trying out their other Senn IEM...I dunno if I can't take further abuse. Please not make it sound like a disco hall.

I've never heard Senn IEMs, but more data points wanted. Still hoping they've learned from their mistakes, and that there's *some* truth trailing from the early Hype Train™.

I paid normal asking price, which is a bit much considering the cost of the Pi2AES. Anyhow, it's been in for a day or so, and all impressions are early - but warm-up didn't seem to be much of a factor. Initial A/B testing between the SR1A and Clears with familiar tracks pissed me off - because I noticed the improvement without much effort, especially in the treble. Don't want to stoke nervo$$a, but I'm happy so far.

Now you just need to compare to an Sbooster! :)

I notice an improvement in clarity using a NoiseNuke with my Pi2AES so I can vouch for you not being crazy.

Or ruined ears.

Or Z graduates.

Shout-out to @rhythmdevils for the rec. Still can't believe this is around $200.

This is why I shave my head!

I bic my head every day. Not a problem.

@YMO Bic your body hair every day. #bsmoov

There was an interview with Stung back in the 90s in which he prattled on about how difficult it was for buskers to make ends meet. He'd been busking in disguise in the tube and had earned next to nothing all day. Some wag said "it's because you're shit, mate."

I absolutely LOVE the Police so have always followed his solo releases. They seem to get worse and worse. One listen through this new one and it is mediocre at best. He is too happy these days. Unfortunately, Sting needs to get divorced or get depressed/angry again to get the creative juices flowing. Happy Sting = boring elevator music Sting.

Only own SR1a, but I have extensively auditioned various modded HD800s. If you want that headstage HD800 is still the way to go. SR1a doesn't stage very well even though some of it exists outside your head. HD800 cannot touch SR1a transients.

SR1A makes that first re-listen in years an absolute joy...

What color is the headphone?

Focal Clear Mg: Yes

Big parade happening tomorrow, downtown Boston.

It's funny when I lived 30 minutes north of tampa from 2003-2009 they fucking hated Brady and the Patriots more than anything !

Is it me or does Jot 2 make it seem like Liquid Platinum isn't as good now ? HD650 and Aeolus Bifrost 2 here.

@HotRatSalad I have the same combo and think the same thing

All from distant memory, but maybe the only area where I'd give Liquid Platinum an edge is wider stage.. which almost feels irrelevant with the HD6X0 line.

like Mike's semi-plaid shirt!

Sage reminder: it's about having FUN, and enjoying the music while you can. Everything else is... what ass sounds like.

Been waiting for Jot 2 to ship for over two weeks. Boohoo. :)
