Yikes.

Timbre? Well, still dwelling on that - trying different tracks/genre's but liking so far. Bass might be "epic" ;) Is it worth the price? Hell no but nothing is :)

I call first dibs on your Utopia. ;)

Someone's hearing is going....going......gone!

If only that was it. The FDX1-MAGALGTBUSAQwerty has real bass, coherence between bass and the rest of the FR, etc. compared to the CA Ara & the like, it's just missing the resolution/detail of the latter...

I need to find a way to make you angry...so far nothing sticks.

Sorry @gixxerwimp I was referring to the synthesized "hand clapper" that is so prevalent in electronic/pop music these days. Something like this: https://www.audiothing.net/instruments/hand-clapper/

Oh, and yea you nailed it - that's when the point it comes in (at 3:30). For me it's an overused sound that I almost always find distracting and detracting from the music.

There is nothing musical about the clap. Except, maybe in Flamenco. Synthesised clap must be even worse. I see it even has a randomness button, so the electronic clappers can get it wrong, too. Shit.

The Schvantz Extender X

Or, unironically - The Confirmation Bias Plus

The Whispering Psychopath

Comes in a great box, with all accessories, including paper.

@Imraan , I use the Dekoni hybrid elites on my Clear as they warm the HP up just a bit without messing with the Clear's strengths and they make the HP more comfortable - not HD6XX comfortable but a real improvement. These same pads take too much away from the Stelli/Utopia however

@crenca - great, thanks for the recommendation! I'll try them out.

It's also the headphone itself that demands you pay attention. Can't really do anything else but listen when I'm using them. Honeymoon effect sure, but not entirely. They're doing a lot right to my ears.

I just saw this @crenca, my bad! I don't use Spotify. Do you know if Spotify allows third-party apps to access their stuff?

Well the Sonos app that comes with their hardware can access it directly, so yes. Buried in that PIAES for dummies thread is several people mentioning using volumimo and what not to access it. I have not done anything with this project yet...

Should be possible what you are doing, unless your children destroy that PI Screen.

Buy @rhythmdevils's CA Ara if you want a borderline Super HD650 for IEMs for a good price. IEM market there's tons of stuff out there that can get overwhelming.

It could be borderline neutral/slight bright in treble on the M6 Pro with Ara (which is why @purr1n went with M6 regular), but with your tastes it should be excellent in theory. Don't recommend using it with Starlett unless you have IEMatch due to it sounds best on low Input Z.

HRTF differences. But yeah I have more fun with headphones cuz IEMs is just a massive brain spaghetti fest.

Thanks guys, I ended up purchasing one used via Amazon. We will see if it works. My inlaws don't even need the $50 a month 25mbps from VDSL, let alone cable/fios speed (which are all more expensive in our area) ;)

I picked which apartment complex to move into based on which ones had Google Fiber, this was an amazing decision. Google Fiber is hands down the best ISP I've ever had, its not even close.

^ gotta factor in the cost of having Google know every.single.thing. you do on the internet.

Oh, I have had this a while - my wife stole it from me a while back. I got a wild hair and plugged it in a little bit ago...

Elegia really isn't bad. Let mine go though because I just didn't use it at all.

At least my other half doesn't like my audio stuff...

Find some suggestions here:

This is the five volume set which began my STEM education in the late 1950s:

The Pete Millett "Butte" is a good start. https://www.ebay.com/itm/DIY-PCB-Butte-solid-state-headphone-amp/161919004080

Check out Adafruit. Limor Fried is great and has done a lot to inspire girls in STEM. Tons of arduino kits

And your wallet, fanboy....

I've been curious about this one. Guttenburg did his usual no-review (everything but the SQ) and the only other seems to make a case for a decent "V"/U" shaped SS. I'm still interested though.

Surprised you didn't know that, Motown was set up like a factory with hits.

I had heard, but never bothered to read anything about it. I actually find musician's and industry lives/stories boring most of the time

This article however was short and sweet;)

All this time, I have been operating under the assumption that it was cooler to not be virtuous. Good thing I am not cool either.

Continental measuring system or imperial measuring system? If you actually have to measure by hand, that is key. After that we can gather data, process it and chart it to sell the audio industry new standards while listening to Koss PortaPros.

Just got recommended this video today. Not sure if I can fully understand it.

That video was clear and too the point. Thanks! It is the small changes in pitch that I hear *better* they higher up I go into fidelity.
