    I hangout on a lot of EE hobbiest forums. Whenever tubes (or just audio in general) are mentioned the discussion turns to total shit. They really have no clue how they function and think the only purpose is distortion. Followed by saying that any tube distortion can be simulated anyway so all guitar amps should be DSP with Class D amps.

    Dammit, this status update got me browsing through r/headphones clusterfuck threads again. Twenty minutes later I resurface into real life, feeling pissed off at the world.
    Need to see if there's a way to hosts file out URLs from my phone.

    @purr1n I’m really glad to hear that. I recall that he does have some sort of minimal headphone/music content on his site and I wasn’t sure If it was serious or not.

    I have an unhealthy amount of affinity for SP. even after billy went all nutso-kookoo post Mellon Collie. but, it could be easily argued BC was nutso-kookoo from the start. either way, ethereal guitar noises and an amazing-even-when-heroin-addled drummer=magic rock and roll machine.

    Some more awesome sauce: Gungnir Multibit, MCTH+LPS, HD-6XX. It's nuts how much the HD-6XX and MCTH can squeeze out of the Gungnir Multibit for $450

    @dmckean44 Audiogon, like HF, will apparently do anything to protect advertisers/potential advertisers. I have little use for 6 Moons, and even less for 'Srajan', but to his credit he refused MS's overtures to review his CPT products.

    Looks like ol' Shifty pulled the usual shenanigans, including but not limited to russian ballerinas, complicated personal health issues, exploding transformers, and greatly delayed product. but this time it's different; IP/product was bought out by Modwright who is going to continue to develop product.

    At least if you blow a tire and wrap yourself around a tree you'll leave some sweet bass behind for posterity... On second thought, I'd maybe go for the tires.
