Thinking about it, no duh, but I feel power delivery doesn't matter as much for BA IEMs as DD. None of the usual improvements IME. Mar 26, 2024 at 8:17 PM

      Deciding on my first ~$1k+ tube amp isn't just a matter of cost and sound, dammit, it's gonna be about how steampunk it looks!

        I think any tube amp can be steampunked up by just adding tube dampeners.

        @ButtUglyJeff I'm a total newb when it comes to tubes, so I had no idea things like tube dampers even existed!

        While I do agree they look cool, it doesn't hurt to have a good base to build upon! Way out of my budget for now, but I think I'll be saving up for a Decware Taboo, which @Melvillian recommended a bit earlier (provided its sound matches the asking price). It looks f'ing awesome, is all :))

      Took me a couple seconds to realize what'd changed under the profile pics. Subtle.

      F+tM's Ceremonials is one of my fave albums, but the mastering is shite. Wonder if this can be salvaged a la Californication?

        That... is rather questionable, but I really am tempted to push through with it. Agh :))

        Yeah I understand lol I wouldn't have time for it at least till weekend anyway so yeah. In any case here's the tool if you want to mess around with it, it's free too. https://www.stereotool.com/download/ You can use it with Audacity which is also free. :)

        Oh, thanks! Might be fun to tinker with it myself, just to get a feel for the tool. Sigh, I'm trying not to get my hopes up cuz I've got way too many poorly-mastered albums that I otherwise love. Perhaps I'm not as persnickety about it as many others on here, but I've got standards dammit! :))

      Some dude in a FB group I'm in effed his ears up by listening to KZ ZSTs (IEMs) out of a maxed out preamp 8hrs a day and I'm wondering HOW?!

        Also, as I assume SPL was high enough to cause significant physical damage, the notion that he could have gotten an infection from resultant damage doesn't seem so incredible.

      Just watched To The Bone— as a dude who think's he's too fat, it cuts pretty deep (almost... to the bone *ba dum tss*).

      Beethoven's 9th never fails to lift my mood. Not quite a classical snob, but I certainly understand the appeal.

        This clip, for me, exemplifies the 9th. In this piece of Nazi propaganda, Furtwangler conducts as if possessed by the freedom this music represents. The Nazis appear cowed, indicted. https://youtu.be/2itdv1aEpG4

        @Wilson , first time coming across this particular performance, which perhaps shows how new I am to the classical scene. No time to listen just now, but am certainly looking forward to it— the faces of the crowd speak volumes, nearly as loudly as the music itself.

        Find that divine spark and listen again. It is one of those Symphonies that keeps getting better when you find a good rendition.

      I'll miss you both very much. Sleep well. I never learned what your favourite songs were.

      Life may be short, but it's too damn sad to stop a song playing halfway through.

        And I can relate, @Dino . I don't use analogue (space and cost concerns), so my setup lends itself to skipping tracks. It's not so bad, really, getting to sample different music in a single sitting, and it makes those rare moments when I really kick back and go through a full album that much more special. Also, I listen to a lot of modern tracks, not a lot of which were designed for single-run listening, I think :P

        LOL, I forgot that the Verve weren't American. Hmm, not too familiar with Massive Attack to be honest. Maybe I should rectify that when I'm looking for new music.
