My wife does that. I play her something I like. She loves it, plays it to death over the next few weeks. Not on headphones, so everyone in the house gets a mega-dose. Then I never want to hear it again.

That reminds me of the classical learning dilemma of exploration vs exploitation. lol

Often found myself unable to escape from the latter....

I used to do that too. Or...

Suddenly discover the song everybody else got fed up with years ago.

My neighborhood butts up to BLM land. Almost once a week a new "have you seen this dog..." goes up. My wife and just look at each other and see who can say "Scooby Snack!" the fastest...

How? My theory would be humans around for longer intervals = more food dropped on the floor...

@crenca Yeah, lots of coyotes in my area. We keep him indoors though, so no worries there. Neighbor's dog did get attacked a while back, but appears fine.

Play something with a decent groove, especially Jazz or Funk and your feet tap. That is it. There are headphones that don't do that and I don't care, off they go. One catch, it needs a bit of power and then you understand. It is similar to the AKGs in that way.

What I particularly like about it, relative to HD600, is that the mid-bass makes orchestral recordings sound more realistic. Caveat: As long as the other gear doesn't make it sound too dark.

I lean towards HD600 because it works to offset the foibles of my other main cans, but the 650 is, as many have noted, a remarkably comfortable listen that you can just get lost in for ages. It works unmodded for basically every genre that doesn't mandate sub-bass excellence!

Yeah, sleep isn't necessarily going to be on the agenda. Plan on spending some time, then will write up impressions later.

Glad the fit worked out for you - interesting that it's really comfortable for you given our somewhat similarly shaped large heads.

If you recall, does your individual headphone have a bigger headband than the one that showed up at the meet last time? I tried again with a different pair just to be sure and I still got a headache due to fit.

I was curious about that too given that we have similar large Asian heads. I don't think they're any different, and I certainly haven't heard anything about Raal changing anything about the design.

Headstage is small still, but once again, great imaging. Also, the voicing means that words are really easily discernable. Some sudden noises WILL make you jump; you were warned here first. Really, nothing to complain about. Movies is where I'll use my ZMFs or Utopia; depends what I grab first.

Move the good stuff away from the computer, focus on the music, lol. This is why I have a cheaper setup bro.

Not sure which zmf to which focal, but I have been loving the Universe Suede pads on my Auteur. It is a great hybrid sound between the tone master zmf and more clinical elex

@raif Verite to Utopia.

Oh yes, that is quite the jump. Godspeed :)

I feel like sometimes there's no way around a high price tag for most interesting hobbies out there - but spending will get more focused once someone figures out what they like/want/are doing to offset the higher costs.

Have a few kids!

^LOL no. I'm barely responsible enough for me; asking me to raise a kid is disaster.

I came as fast as I can....

Which Japanese whisky are you killing now?

I actually ran out of the Japanese whiskey. All of it went into my gullet and was pissed out in the toilet.

About the RFI @mscott58 reported: I am not experiencing any (it's the same unit). Not sure what could have caused it in his case.

That’s what she said

A good problem to have. I just resigned myself to the fact that I'll probably never find a Liquid Crimson at a price I'd be willing to pay.

I love jamiroquai! Funky af

Jamiroquai is actually someone I forgot about until somewhat recently when he popped up on my Amazon Music radio (I use it to find new songs). Needless to say I rectified the situation immediately.

Knxwledge - 1988 showed up at my place today. Shit slaps yo

Foobar updates are only good if the components that you are using is also updated and only works with the newer version of Foobar.

JRiver charges for major version upgrades.

But very rarely are new versions of jrmc worth getting. I'm still on v22. It still plays all my stuff. (Haven't used it in ages since I got Roon, I will admit.)

What’s “normal” anymore. I just go to bed when I’m sleepy, and wake up when my eyes open!

Unless you're shipping it from out of the country. Then it's the wait.

Probably just going to make due without to be honest.

@Vtory, I should mention I'm running at stock voltages and clocks. Only thing I did was apply DOCP for the RAM profile.

The 3900X has been a true workhorse for my VM farms. Too bad so many enterprise Microsoft applications apps are un-optimised. Set a 16 core VM for SQL synchronize and task manager reveals it only uses two cores at full with the rest idling. Still a nice step-up from my previous Duron.

Really impressed with my 3700x. Using a noctua U12S for cooling. Completely dominates my old 4790K.

Try it in co-op, even more fun but still very challenging (perhaps more). Haven't played in a while but we can make a session and see how it goes if u want.

I put about 30 hours in it but there's no real progression between runs once you've unlocked most items. I haven't played the artifact update yet though.

@ChaChaRealSmooth you’re doing it wrong man! Let it all hang loose! Go commando cables!

"Let it all hang loose!"

Only after midnight.

balls out! Like Tom Petty, Free Ballin'!!!

She takes the lead as the person who I know has sacrificed the most in this crisis. What a hero

@atomicbob I wanna see measurements!

@Biodegraded : which ones, for the music mentioned or for the device I created to evaluate CPR metronomes? I have considerable data.

I was kinda taking the piss - but how to evaluate metronomes, subjectively and/or objectively, does have me intrigued.
