This looks like the love child of an LCD-2, an OG HiFiMan, and a ZMF headphone.

I honestly like that more. I'm not a fan of my headphones looking like a tie-dye t-shirt.

They always reminded me of a custom bowling ball. A lot of the ZMF Resin Stabilized gave me the same impression.

Not so great with Final D8000. Too much energy somewhere in upper mids or lower treble. With other headphones, lots of lovely tube qualities shining through, expansive staging, nice hint of warmth.

I should have gone with "during" instead of "for"!

I'm still laughing at her "I deserve better". Does she mean better than T50RPs? This suggests a whole new lover-ranking system...

...And a whole new adoption of golden-schlong awards!

I put a twist on it over the summer for my home roasted coffee https://i.imgur.com/V3eFRil.jpg

Now that coffee would sound different for sure.

sometimes I'm tempted to put this sticker on my Yggdrasil: https://darkoaudio.creator-spring.com/listing/audiophile-basic-sticker

but, upside down. And post it for sale on Audiogon just to see who bites. I like the idea of an Audiophile false flag.

Loaner impressions to follow in a day or two. But, seriously, this is outstandingly good.

Ifi on Bluetooth?

@ColdsnapBry - this was the dongle version, not the wireless one

@Lyander - what's the pun, I can't figure it out (something to do with decir?)

(And joking aside, my better half's perfectly fine with my hobby. It was genuinely an accident)

Oh "shuo" can mean "say" or "speak" haha. I always figured the Shuoer brand is some kinda dad joke about "Speak"ers.

Found linked from Schiit's own website: https://www.schiit.com/guides/discontinued-products.

It's also good for old manuals

... and I want to set the record straight by posting that Schiit refunded me the difference. I'm most grateful. This was very good of them.

On a more prosaic, obvious level, it's disturbing how far AI has apparently come - and how little the public knows about it (me included).

The transcript is truly astonishing. It feels like something to be assigned in history classes - or "great books" classes - in the future.

Reading the transcript gives me goosebumps.

Time to submit to our AI overlords. Personally, I'd welcome them over our human leaders.

I agree with @Merrick on piano but also most other stringed instruments, bowed or plucked.

Drums.

It's hard to get the texture right on oboes; sometimes bassoons too.

Excellent, thank you! Time to dive into the threads properly.

You may also see it called the Yggdrasil OG now.

Thank you, @GanGreinke. I've started seeing it called that in the LiM/MiL threads, so I appreciate the clarification.

Hope they don’t end up with the same record as the Washington Generals, haha.

Back in the USFL, there was the New Jersey Generals (last owned by Donald Trump). In reference to a Dallas football team, Herschel Walker played for both the Generals and the Cowboys.

They coulda just ditched Snyder and kept the name and there would be much rejoicing.

Happy Birthday!

(Be My Baby was a perfect pop song).

For some reason I thought you meant he blew up a Tesla plant, but it’s just his individual Tesla.

Oops, yes - the phrase needed an "a" or "his" - now edited. Sorry for any alarm caused.

Damn, another person suggesting bandcamp to support music. I agree. Love me band camp

In retrospect it seems like downloading mp3s illegally and than buying some of those albums later was a better deal for the artist

Yeah, I was going to nominate bandcamp for a golden schlong award but didn't want to get that thread off-topic (and, of course, it's not gear)
