Torpedo

It's not a song but a whole set of a few good ones

If I still were able to listen to headphones for a long time at decent volumes, I'd be so much in. If just only for the pleasure of comparing them to my early series HD800 that have the resonant trap mod installed and sound wonderful.

I'm considering the idea of building a very small size RAID box using 2.5" SSD drives, so it probably wouldn't need a fan nor a built-in PS. I'd fit 4 drives for a RAID-1 configuration. Since it'd be in a Mac computer, it's not necessary the box has built-in RAID firmware and it could be either USB-C 3.1 or Thunderbolt for faster performance. My google mojo seems to be really bad for this, everything I find are conventional 3.5" drive RAID boxes (large, noisy and pricey), single drive enclosures or in the best case, those docks that can fit 2 internal HDD drives (I've had one already for four years) but are large for they can hold either 3.5" or 2.5" drives. In the worst case two boxes for two drives each would suffice, OSX could handle them for a single RAID-1 array, but it'd need two USB ports instead of one. I haven't found that either. Any ideas will be much appreciated.

Happy Birthday, Colin!!! have a great one

Sorry, Steve. Keep us posted on the diagnosis. Get well.

With a 35Ω impedance and a 105dB/mW sensitivity they shouldn't be much harder to drive than a pair of Grado. They look comfortable like the rest of the Focal line, but they don't provide a figure nor explain the build for noise isolation. I'm guessing they're more concerned for the surrounds not listening to your music than vice versa.

Have a wonderful and very Happy Birthday, Steve

NO, you can't say penis, you must say dick.

They might (or even should) partner with an electronics leading company that could compete with Apple, so they would sell tons of headphones and soundbars in the largest markets, or the ones with huge growth potential, which are these days chinese and india. Perhaps Huawei, Xiaomi, or Samsung in the worst case. That would allow them to sell the kind of products that people want, those tiny wireless noise-cancelling shitty things, and adapted wireless 3D faking soundbars for their monitors and TVs. I'm afraid that wired headphones are going to be an even more niche market that will be led by shitty flashy products a la Beats or Hifiman.

Happy Bday!!!

Happy Bday!!!!

A short video to show the kind of human being that Chick was

Oh crap. If all the damages he got is just a broken jaw, knowing him he'd be ready to drive on Bahrein, but if there's further damage, who knows.

A friend told me a while ago. Very sad news

Wow, that's extremely generous, thank you! Indefinitely is way too long but if you're willing to loan it to me for some weeks I'll be extremely glad to pay shipping and other expenses both ways. I'm unsure what's the taxes and import fees between Moldova and EU countries.

I'm in Europe Not that I can use headphones much due to the issue I had in my left ear, but curiosity... well you know, this is d-_-b

Short note to let you know that due to lack of resources, one of the largest Yes fan sites offering loads of bootleg recordings from Yes concerts, will go offline in July. They are hosting about 3TB of Yes music. Were you interested https://yessongs.nl/

Basically desperation in the Thatcher era.

Happy Birthday, Jeff!!!! Whatever it is that can make you happy, I wish your day (and the whole fucking year) is full of it.

That reminds me that I received the second shot of the Pfizer thing past Thursday. Still alive. Penis becoming an annoyance 🤷‍♂️

You seem to forget that the important stuff is where the speech stands (500Hz to 2KHz) and that the brain is an incredible machine of filling gaps. If you provide your brain with an as accurate as possible information in the critical band, it'd make a better job "inventing" what it knows is there but now can't perceive. It's not its fault, it's our damn cochleas.

Plus subpar build quality. Those Leben were quite popular in Spain for a while, there were tons of posts by fanboys, so an acquaintance had the chance to open and check one. Not worth the price of admission, way less if you want it to feed headphones.

Stay away from Leben, just sayin'. Did you go up to Spain to listen to those?

In that cover photo she reminds me a lot of Nick Cave.

Happy Birthday!!!!
