rofl.

Note to self: EARS is not ears!

more rofl!

Don't mind him, he's high on Zappa.

You're the other people too!

There's a business case to be made, too... I use my Sony WH-1000MX2 as a headset for work calls occasionally. With MS and now Lenovo with BT headphones, maybe we'll see real BT audio support in Windows soon. (And by business case, these headphones cost $100 less than a Plantronics Savi headset.)

@spwath agreed. Naming is really weird lol.

@Vansen that sounds like a reasonable scenario. So far win bt audio sucks imo. Hope it would get better in foreseeable future.

That headband cannot be comfortable. Anc cans aren't ever the lightest between battery and electron-herding.

Haha.. multiple reasons:
1) measuring dacamp needed (fulla2 often failed to drive low-Z low-efficient cans)
2) bluetooth input seems convenient for iphone gaming
3) just curious about how it can stack up against modi when the same akm was employed

Selling Convert 2 when?

When I can perhaps afford bricasti m1se..

Joke aside, to my ears modi 3 is still better than dx3. But difference is much smaller than expected.

Oh can say this for sure. Fulla 2 is prol no longer needed. WIll keep it for pinch or contingency though.

Superglue that thing

Encouraged by friends cheering me on, I finally managed to attach aeolus pads on the unit, without tearing cloth. Feeling a sense of accomplishment. Haha.

It's the same thing with Atticus, Ori pads are a bitch to attach, zach always seems to make them juuuust barely able to get the smallest pad on. It's probably a conspiracy.

Yeah buddy

I just ordered a set 2 days ago....very much looking forward to how they sound.

I liked Rob but order of magnitude of improvement? If you can get 10% these days it's a miracle. That's marketing speak at its finest and not what I'd expect from a pure technical guy. Sorry chord, you suck hard.

>Tapping into better digital audio
I chuckled

"Just tap it in. Just tap it in. Give it a little tappy. Tap tap taparoo.”

We have it pretty good down here in South Africa.

There are some fantastic wines from the Hill Country... jk they're all way too sweet

That's an old audiophile standard - both vinyl and CD. Sounds great from Convert-2 DAC.

Didn't know her until very recently. It's surprising how the first debut album was recorded this nicely.. Love both music and sound.

Having destructive toddlers results in the same situation.

I have thin japanese walls with intolerant neighbours and a newborn who will soon turn into a destructive toddler. So I’m immune too to speaker hypes.

Why did you mention the N-word? We do not mention the N-word.

So, no love for Liquid Platinum?

@brencho my bet is that mjo2 has better gain stage and lyr3 has better output stage. If two are combined, it will be very interesting to hear. lol

@Raicorl That's totally different story haha.. also I hope other Cavalli's oop models would be released with either MD or MP.

No Rag 2 love?

What's the time of manufacture for those >sn:40000? I'm currently working on an article regarding changes in HD650 tonality we've detected.

Mine, sn=489xx, seems to be originally purchased in 2018 (I'm the 2nd owner). Dunno about when they were manufactured.. maybe 2017 at the earliest?

@ogodei has/had a unicorn stock HD800 that sounded perfect (as good or better than my rugliner HD800). Don't know what serial # though to add as data

It’s at the top of my list to hear at AXPONA!

Maybe they are really brown papers.

Haha. I thought "gray" (=some white + mostly black) paper

How about just “Marketing ad trying to act all legit”

Put his name on the loaner list. :P

Have the Empy on my head right now. I do like it, hopefully will get to listen to the ZMF cans sometime.

Mine are going out on a small eu loaner tour when they get here, if you want to get in on that.

Alea iacta est.

Yep, we have to do the Prop 65 thing too. It's only shown to California people on checkout, and the stickers only go on CA boxes, though, so as not to scare normal humans.

You need to quit answering the phone when ‘Bob’ calls.

I'd answer the phone to a guy called Bob any day... if he was freely passing on to me the results of stuff he'd talked through, and paid for, with his lawyers.

Guys like Bob are good friends. Really good friends!

@MisterRogers That seems the most straightforward way...

@msommers Wanna be done. Haha..

@Merrick no bw2 is the only amp I own now.

@Gaspasser BW2 must be very different from 3f. 98% keep it unless I sell my 600/800, which is very unlikely. But true, I admit this is an impulsive thing. Should resist.

You would be the SS amp master. You just sold your Elex though. Also wondering if the big boys are going ZMF since Mr Rogers is selling Utopia.

It seems that this spring is a magical season when many people spin their gears. Multiple utopias, multiple yg2, k1000, even r10, ... now all these are on the used market! Definitely not normal.

Anyway having two differently designed amps is not surprising in this hobby, isn't it? lol
(Thinking CV2-3F-Ether2 and CV2-BW2-600/800)

Now it's just a preview site. Rafe is a fuck-stick. The biggest mistake his corporate parents made was keeping the IF name.

"almost no line describing how the components "sound". WTF?"

Because Rafe doesn't know. Haha

I guess he doesn't even listen to the gear, I mean, that makes the shilling easier.

Have been skeptical about clock effect (thought it a semi BS).. but not any more.

Almost the entire front of my DMC-2 is covered in light dims, some double.

You're not really bothered until you've opened up the board and stripped the LED.

2nd class all the way. :-)

@alubis To some extent, BW2 kinda dominates the rig. Tend to find headphones and sources that can pull the most of bw. lol
@DigMe @skem 2 is mostly right. History has proven it: Batman returns, Darknight, Spider-man 2 (Sam Raimi), The empire strikes back,... (all my favorites)

Twin is another way of saying 2 ; )
