    No, not much any more. I'm mostly just waiting for Kara no Shoujo 3 to be translated and for the rest of the Fault series. I'll probably try to finish the Grisaia series some day as well.

    It's as much of a mental challenge as it is physical. I bonked after mile 9 because I didn't bring enough calories, and it took a lot of willpower to run the last mile instead of just walking it.

  Any recommendations for a USB C MMCX cable or USB C audio dongle/dac/amp cable? Finally upgraded from Pixel 1 to 3 and need a solution.

  My friend's new rental has a Yamaha NS-200 and Sansui AU-719 in the basement from the landlord. Either of these any good?

    That Sansui can be amazing with a proper match up. The old AU-amplifiers have a good reputation.

  TIL FedEx's final cost is on average 20% higher than the estimate. UPS is 10% lower, and USPS's price is firm. My FedEx ended up 50% more.

    In my area, FedEx is by far the most dependable and easier to work with carrier. Followed by USPS, followed by UPS. I'll pay the extra bit to make sure my package isn't lost, crushed, or otherwise a pain in my ass.

    Yeah, service varies by area. FedEx and UPS are generally reliable in my area, but USPS sucks especially if I miss a package. The unreliable estimates really bug me though. Going from $70 estimate to $108 is kind of ridiculous.

    The A2s are literally computer speakers, but they do sound okay as long as you're not looking for deep bass or loud volumes. Good enough for casual background music in the office. PEQ can help a lot with cleaning up the sound.

    On Hooncake's note: how do you think PC > Fulla 2 > LSR305 would pair? I have the JBLs on the way, thinking about a volume control for them.

    that was my chain. I couldnt get over the "hi-fi" sound of it. Treble bothered me, bass impact was too much, if you do the -3db for both treble and bass it is better but, I still got listening fatigue and furthermore its freaking too big for desktop usage. I returned it and miss my OSMT ever since which I sold.

    Let us know what you think. Some say it's the same as a HD569, which made Tyll' WoF, except for pads. I'm curious at it's price.

    @imackler Yes, I've read that too. There are measurements in the link below, which can be compared with the hd650 on their site. If it's similar to the hd650 in tonality, then I can live with the lower SQ for gaming and watching videos.
