@rhythmdevils In light of the Alpha Prime fiasco on CS, I'm not sure a loaner is the best idea for SBAF. But maybe everyone's kissed and made up, or simply moved on. (Unlikely.) Either way, I had rather we not ask for trouble. Just a thought.

Hahaha honestly didn't hate DCA that much. IP ethics may suck
tho. Dan's orthos kinda intend to sound like non-ortho. No ortho technicalities (single-sided weak magnet). Cheesy tone. etc. But kinda sound pleasing as I recall (ether flow open, ether 2, aeon flow open). Based on interview, metablahblah is more like sth sdr-ish.. seems to get highs right. But don't expect good bass..

@Claritas I wasn’t around for that unfortunately sounds fun! I already sent an email asking. I know him from way back in the day from the T50rp modding thread on head-fi before his original designs even before he was making mad dogs. He knows me so I figure it couldn’t hurt.

$4k is enough for a down payment on a car.

Surprising that they still look like an Alpha Dog with a nice gimbal system

"Hey, you wanna laugh? This prick last week he asked me to christen his kid. Yeah, all right. For seven thousand I charged him!"

I’ve been eyeing vintage headphones and building mech keyboards but as time goes on what I really want is a real goddamn mattress.

@Aelms If your current mattress has just decent support a good mattress topper can work wonders without breaking the bank. We’re currently in a furnished rent house and my wife bought a thick Molecule AirTEC topper and it’s really great.

@DigMe oh that’s a brilliant idea!

Yeah, used VS a few yrs ago when played with c#. And constantly use sql mgt studio as well. Vs code does feel way more faster and responsive than them. Plus, ms always did fantastic jobs in code completion imo lol.

I used VS Code for a good while, but have actually in the last year/2years moved over to neovim. I have been enjoying it alot, but it was a steep learning curve

Visual Studio, now I get it. Works a treat, just get used to "directories" in how to save your work. Very smooth IDE/editor.

So far, the sound seems surprisingly way more ok than I was ready for. Maybe compensation bias rebounded from initial setup frustration..

LOL, confirm that in the review post.

Who wants a ui on a dac anyway. Just more stuff to obsess over, input selector, maybe phase and that’s it. Same reason i don’t like gear with too many tubes.

I honestly don’t know if the pandemic will really end Americans are too stupid.

@rhythmdevils All the restrictions are off in my state. Basically, get the vaccine and good luck.

Yeah get the vaccine. That’s the hard part. Because half of Americans think it shoves a micro chip up their ass. Or creates infectious miscarriages. :0

My wife bought a PS5 to play RE Biohazard. We enjoyed some older versions on a borrowed PS3 years ago. Now our TV is so big that playing gave her motion sickness. She sold the PS5.

@penguins I think with the newer engine, and increased moving speed (over RE7), the experience will be a lot better than RE4. But the point is we can't still side step -- we need to choose to either run away wo seeing enemies or take time to aim them. Sometimes it feels like the crux of this genre is to leave enough stress to players lol.

@gixxerwimp Isn't buying her a smaller screen for ps5 only more productive?

We have a smaller screen in the bedroom, but she'd rather not play there and nowhere to put the PS5 (small Asian-size apartment). Better for me as my monopoly over the living room continues ... hehe

Maybe he has another child named Hardon :-D

It is impossible to do an accurate comparison between the 650 and 600 without using the exact same earpads on both given how much the earpads impact FR. Its very annoying to see these kind of comparisons when they dont reveal how worn the earpads are.

Well, f**k. They really showed me for ever thinking I heard (and, you know, measured) differences between the HD600 and HD650.

So far it does feel likes dark fantasy adventure, rather than survival horror.

I was hoping those prices were a place holder. Lol premium electrostats for 50 bucks Lol

Was there an actual update somewhere? The website looks the same as it did a couple months ago in the thread you posted.

I thought it new as shared by songmic hours ago. Hmm. Looking forward to hearing status soon.

seems like ETA cans tend to have that effect. :p

My ESX review was 1,377 words. If we're counting.

I'd just make sure this. I am not particularly upset with long essay per se. But from my experience (and specifically in my writing process), too many words are caused by (1) redundant statements (int+ext) and (2) lack of control/flow/focus..

So when facing long reviews, I used to skim or rush to tldr or wrap up parts unless there are great themes or overarching narrative.

What I was offered: (1) different front colors to try, (2) newer board/circuit revision. Both without additional charges.

Needless to say, excited with #2!

They also pay for shipping both ways for things on warranty. Lovely. But not every company (even good one) does this.

Geshelli is the second coming of Schiit... great company.

Seeing EHR updated by the nurse, quickly thought of which tables and fields the program was pulling from. lol.

The loaner review will be written as a viewpoint of such a potential shopper. Things pushed myself to vs pulled from the purchase.

FYR as per Evan's explanation, I immediately taped on all the four perforations. Wanted to verify previous reviews ahead of new mod's evaluation.

F me, why does untaping four pores (per side) create this much change?
