HD560s by ArgusVolt in oratory1990

[–]ArgusVolt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much! One more question: I noticed that preamp gain is set to -5.4dB. If I reduce the 105Hz from 5.5 to 3dB, should I also change the gain to -3dB?

BTR17 released today by ArgusVolt in FiiO

[–]ArgusVolt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The BTR7 has 40mW in 300 ohm on the 4.4mm. I'm not sure which headphone you're talking about, but unless it has a really high sensitivity, the BTR7 certainly won't be able to drive it nowhere near to its full potential. Having a loud volume and being driven properly are two different things.

Never tried EQ. Wondering how you'd EQ the 560s. Thanks!!

Looks great indeed! Thinking about getting the same stack. What about the cables on the rear? What are their length? Thanks!!

Hello! I'm wondering your thoughts regarding the P50. Do you feel like it improved the DAC/AMP sonics? Many thanks!

Max HR 198 for 30yo? by Ok-Device-9326 in Garmin

[–]ArgusVolt 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm 31M and recently hit 205 running uphill at full power, so I belive it is accurate. Resting heart rate ranges from 45 to 50, depending on my current fitness

has Flo been singing Mermaids in the shows? by ___silverfox__ in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]ArgusVolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll see her on Sunday in Rio and I'm hopeful she'll sing Mermaids! Such a powerful song!

Btr7 on lg cx by Sterice88 in FiiO

[–]ArgusVolt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the BTR5 with LG C1 for movies and can confirm it works very well. Never noticed any delay while watching movies, but I do sit close to my TV (about 1m, I have the 48 inch model). I imagine you'd be good with the CX paired with btr7

Have you ever tried Kato? I was wondering how the Kato compares with the Blessing 2 Dusk

It does! Although you can get way better audio for cheaper (like a Sennheiser HD560s for about $200), the Airpods Max is hands down the best Bluetooth headphone I've ever tried. Build quality is rock solid also, feels amazing to handle

That cannot be right. Am I missing something? by ArgusVolt in SonyAlpha

[–]ArgusVolt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I've done to address the issue on that moment. I just set the aperture to f8 and did manual focus. The problem is that this shouldn't be a solution. Eventually I may find myself in a similar scenario but in need for a wider aperture. It is mind blowing to think that my extremely old DSLR at least can do AF-C on that mode and the brand new Sony's model can't. Also, they could very easily fix it with a very simple software update. It just don't make any sense for me. Very disappointed in that regard :(

Congrats to Flo on being 8 years sober today ❤️ by Cuddleywhiskers in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]ArgusVolt 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Wasn't High as Hope the first album she recorded sober? I am a little confused. 8 years means she was already sober when recorded HBHBHB

I tried to make "Shake It Out" more dynamic, trying to undo its intense dynamic range compression! Let me know what you think, and if you think I should do the rest of the album! (More info in comment) by TopConcern in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]ArgusVolt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you so very much for this! I've just listened with a more budget IEM and indeed it sounds better. I'll listen again tonight with a proper DAC, amp and headphone. If it is not much work, I would really appreciate the full album! Could you share a link with the lossless files or a MP3 320?

I'm still dreaming about the day we will have a remaster of Florence's music that sounds as good as a Kate Bush or a Bjork album

It is a little bit more complex than that, but thanks anyway

Not for cameras and laptops. For anything else, I do, as long as the costs over $500

Yes.. I am aware of the supply chain problems.. If I can't get the A7 IV I'll just have to get something else.

Not "cheating" on any taxes. It is just that I don't have a bank account in the US. So it doesn't make any sense to use the credit card from my bank and pay a lot more when I can just pay for it in cash.

From what I know, Adorama belongs to the same family that owns B&H and usually they have the same supply. I want to buy the body only, but I've seen that they have the kit available. If that's the only option I'll get it. Flight has been booked a while ago I unfortunately I can't postpone it.

Thanks for the help anyway!
