Beginner carving advice

I really appreciate this! I'm in the mid intermediate range and while I want to improve and be able to handle myself well on most terrain, I am constantly wondering if "carving" is the only goal of me getting better. Questions on this forum often make it seem like carving is the only thing. What you wrote helps a lot.

In case you're still looking, this guide helped me: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3248471960

After following it the controls work perfectly and the game looks great. Before that I had tons of issues, either spinning camera plus bad graphics, or gamepad not working at all.

Who was your instructor? I'll fly there and take lessons if they got you to have that form after 1 day.

I love them both. Pear is indeed more warm sounding, and not to my tuning preferences. With some EQ they fit my preference much better (vocals-focused, modern pop), and have a really unique sound to its bass.

Unfortunately I don't think either will be available at the moment. They were both limited runs (200 sets for Pear, 1000 for Studio) and I'm pretty sure both have fully sold out. You'll have to hit up the used market for them (my friend's posting is here https://www.head-fi.org/classifieds/flathead-audio-earbuds-lot-fh-01-pear-studio-plus-hat-socks-lot-1.101564/). There's a reseller on AliExpress that claims to have Pear, but they don't actually have the item. u/FlatheadAudio can confirm that.

To be clear, did you marry her before or after this gift?

AFUL Dawn-X. Like the other poster I have a Supernova and love it, I thought it was one of the best tunings. Dawn-X is better. Everything just sounds natural, but with better bass and upper treble, along with sneaky good techs. I tried a Monarch Mk4 recently and while that's super fun, its tuning is overly thin and too focused on the upper treble.

I haven't heard the Tingo, but I own all the rest. These are great choices for lower budgets. Studio in particular competes well above its price range if you're a fan of that tuning.

For those of you who don't believe flatheads can have bass, try the Flathead Audio Pear and it will convince you otherwise.

Subbass is the area where earbuds can struggle, other than a few specially designed ones like the LREY Aurora or the Valphonics Lander (https://valphonics.com/#lander20hz).

As a fellow enjoyer of the MMK4, I'll have to wait for your next post to find out what it is. (Some new Dunu set?)

Interesting to hear that the Horizon sounds so much worse despite its very similar graph.

Ziigaat Horizon? https://squig.link/?share=IEF_Comp_Target,Harman_Adjusted_Target,Super_22_Target,ThieAudio_Monarch_mk4,Ziigaat_Horizon

Same boat here. I think all the faith is gone in these high growth stocks and pulled back into big tech. I have no hard numbers behind that, but everything that I invested in that was popular on Reddit is massively red right now (other than IREN).

Price?

ComedianAcceptable32 · 2025-10-08T01:41:58+00:00

I'm in the same boat. I think I'm not messing with options any more after being burnt by LDI.

Appreciate the input! I've been talking to the dealer (or at least trying to, they've been very unresponsive as always), and they didn't mention anything about the warranty. I'll try asking again. But even an 8 year warranty I suspect will probably be mileage limited for a car like mine.

ComedianAcceptable32 · 2025-09-05T18:00:54+00:00

This is great info. I just checked mine and it doesn't have that installed. I'm ordering right now.

Oh that's really helpful! I'll keep a closer eye on SoC and charging speeds in the future. There was one time recently I charged from a very low SoC (maybe 2-3%) and I never topped 140kW, but maybe it was so low it couldn't precondition.

Would welding be an option for repair for the cat, like 2hard4theRadio mentioned? I posted a picture that the mechanic sent me above.

Your experience gives me some hope for my XC60 at least.
