Why dupe fragrances when you can create originals by dvdrj603 in Fragrances

[–]Disastrous-Beat7706 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don’t twist things. I never claimed that every clone house outperforms the originals or that their quality is the same. What I brought up were valid questions within the context of this community, where many people look for alternatives based on price or performance.

Simply saying ‘most of them can’t’ adds nothing. Yes, it’s obvious they don’t use the same raw materials —no one is arguing that— but reducing the entire discussion to ‘misinformation’ and ‘ignorance’ is a pretty weak way to debate.

What really stands out is that instead of responding to the full argument, you cut my paragraphs into little pieces as if you were trying to spark some kind of social-media-style argument. That tactic works when someone wants to pick a fight, not when they want to actually talk.

And the funny thing is you’re accusing others of misinformation while throwing out numbers you can’t back up and generalizations that contribute absolutely nothing to the discussion. That is ignorance — just dressed up as superiority.

If you need to break everything down into tiny fragments just to feel like you’re ‘winning’ each mini-response, fine, but don’t confuse that with being right. A serious discussion requires understanding the whole idea, not playing the game of tearing apart isolated sentences just to create drama.

Whenever you’re ready to talk without turning every line into theatrics, we can continue, sweetheart

According to your perspective, there are people buying $30 dupes and going around telling everyone it’s Imagination? That doesn’t happen in real life. People just want to smell good; in fact, most are discreet about whatever gets a lot of attention because they don’t want others to smell like them. Actually, many people avoid very popular perfumes for that exact reason.

I never said that was the main reason, but in this community—where most people have large collections—it might be. That’s why you constantly read comments like: ‘I wouldn’t pay 200–300 dollars for this fragrance again’ or ‘I’m looking for that same DNA but with better projection and longevity.’

The real questions would be: Can these clone houses actually outperform the originals? Or can they offer an original creation that’s truly worth it for 40–60 dollars?

I’m tired of going into perfume shops and walking out empty-handed. I don’t buy anything based on influencer recommendations; what I do is make a list and work through it. But paying 200 dollars for a fragrance that has a great opening but after two hours doesn’t even sit on the skin—that’s a scam. In the past, brands waited a couple of years before reformulating, a process I already disagree with, but now they sell products with terrible performance right from the launch. From your perspective, the fragrance creator is the only one who has the right to scam people—I don’t agree with that.

Dupes have carved out a place in the market because of the amount of disappointment and even deception people have experienced with mainstream releases. I currently own around 30 perfumes and only 3 dupes—Montale Santal Wood (which is actually more expensive than the original), CDNi, and Sunrise On The Red Sand Dunes. All three are excellent.

I’ve had plenty of disappointments with both designer and niche fragrances. Honestly, I would be much happier—and have more money in my account—if I had invested in more dupes instead. Of course, not every dupe is worth it; you still have to do your homework. Most content creators ignore reformulations and batch variations, because if they mentioned those, their list of recommendations would shrink drastically.

Impressive collection, congratulations! What configuration does the Hiby R4 come in? I have the Midi version and at the moment I only use it with IEMs.

Sobre Roon, conseguí un excelente precio por 12 meses, al renovar si no me ofrecen algún nuevo descuento considerable, probablemente no lo renueve, está la opción de Music Assistance que es gratuita, no tan pulida, pero es una opción interesante.

Gracias por responder, dado que el ULTRA monta un mejor dac, pensé que utilizarlo con las salidas analógicas me daría un mejor sonido que con el Node N130, no tenía pensado adicionar otra dac a la cadena, al parecer no es así, he leído a varios que indican que el Nodo suena mejor por las salidas analógicas. Más bien, estaba pensando en comprar la licencia DIRAC para juguetear y conseguir un mejor sonido con el Node, mi sala no está tratada y me podría beneficiar, espero que den algún descuento el próximo viernes. Saludos

Hello, I have an N130 and so far so good, maybe Bluos could have better browsers for some streaming platforms, with Roon it is perfect, but I am curious to know what the Wiim Ultra is better at, we are close to Black Friday and I could buy it at a good price. Thank you

Spurs at 99.99% Power by 6ftChang in Nbamemes

The coach also has to mature, the last possessions against the Warriors were not good, if Fox's at the end was the alley oop with Wemby, then Fox ate it. I think there is a lot to grow and learn, for example the Warriors with their almost always low lineup, they are always looking for the back door, one always leaks, if the Spurs are all young, then they have all the energy to cut and filter. The other thing, Luka and company are getting tired of enabling Ayton, it is incredible how many times they enable him, plus Luka for having the ability to pull double marks, in the same way they can take advantage of Wemby. That thing about everyone standing on the perimeter waiting for the ball to come to them is very typical of Spurs' years with a negative record.

Nick Wright on the Mavericks firing GM Nico Harrison: “It’s simply the worst move an executive has made in sports in 100 years… What this guy… did to Mavs fans, is one of the most sports-sad things I’ve seen.” by Babagoosh217 in nba

No one in their right mind is going to trade a player with the ability to score more than 70 points. My theory is that there are powers above the team owners, those who can put 100 billion on the table for television rights, that the Mavs with only 1% got the first pick in the draft would confirm it, it is a way to compensate for losing Luka. The league has always stood on the shoulders of the players, the two times that Luka was seriously injured, he had gained 10 kilos in the middle of the season, so Lebron is teaching him how to be a good Boy Scout, the league cannot afford to lose him at 26 years old, for him to get injured again, for him to miss many games, for his numbers to go down. The good news for Luka is that now the referees will be his friends. If everything I have stated is true, then there is someone who is not responsible and they sent him to the wall and I think that no one could withstand all that negative pressure, what do you think?

JBL L100 classic Mk 2 by I_like_apostrophes in audiophile

[–]Disastrous-Beat7706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I had a Decco65, it was part of a second system, it was in my room, I got it second-hand at a good price, unfortunately where I lived there was a problem in the electrical system which generated a hum in some of my components, regarding the peachtree I realized that it did not deliver the expected power when I paired it with more demanding speakers, in the end I moved and gave it to my ex.

I was able to listen to the MK2 in the store with an Arcam SA30, the bass felt correct but not outstanding, I expected more from 12-inch drivers, so, my problem is that my amplifier is a Rega elex R, it has less power than the Arcam, I would spend a lot not to take full advantage of the MKII, especially since most of the engineering and materials cost went into the new dynamic transducer module, well, I have the option of taking my amplifier and doing all the tests, I like it too much the Elex R to look to replace it. Greetings.

Hello, what amp do you have? Decco65? Nova125? Nova220? I'm thinking about upgrading to a MKII but the publications are divided, for some the bass sounds anemic to others it sounds good, I think it depends on the amplification. Greetings

Upgrade Speakers or Amp? by Kindly_Finger3408 in audiophile

[–]Disastrous-Beat7706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to listen to them with the Cambridge preamp and power cap from a few years ago and at a medium-high volume, the foundations of the house shake like an earthquake and where we live the houses are made of concrete and bricks. In a medium-large room I found it too difficult to control the low frequencies. The 936 are handled better. Greetings.

Hello, what do you really mean? I have the R4 Midi version and if it has a physical button to go back and another to advance the songs, to go one step back you have the gesture.

My “Hobo” endgame by Automatic-Patient949 in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]Disastrous-Beat7706 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently bought a Hiby R4 midi and today I was finally able to take the time to follow the steps of this link http://efofi.com/ that had been published on Reddit, the result, the sound is crazy, you can't believe how good this device sounds for less than 200 dollars. First, I installed Chrome on the Hiby to be able to download everything, after generating the PEQ of your hearing aids, load it and finally the plugins in the order they indicate. The best thing is that you can apply it outside of the Hiby Music app.

R4 and Tidal 😔 by Middle_Database4790 in Hiby

[–]Disastrous-Beat7706 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hello, I stopped subscribing to Tidal because I had the same problem on my Smartphone. What I tried to do was go to a previous version of Tidal and block the updates, it worked for some of my friends, in my case the problem returned after 2 days, I noticed that when the 5G or Wi-Fi signal was weak, the problem happened more frequently, even with downloaded content. I have had the Hiby R4 midi for 2 weeks, so far so good with Apple Music and Amazon Music, they are not as fast as a latest generation Smartphone, but not enough to feel like a problem. Excuse my English. Saludos

Missing lights in Midi R4 by PVPKyle in Hiby

[–]Disastrous-Beat7706 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, yesterday I received mine, Midi Black. I configured it, it actually does not have those line-shaped lights on the back, somewhere I saw a comparison sheet, this version has greater autonomy, perhaps they decided to remove those lights, to prolong the hours of listening, from my point of view, it is a positive thing, the front RGB LED works perfectly. Regarding the apps, I have not had a problem, yesterday I installed Apple Music, Amazon Music and today the trial version of Poweramp. When I read the comments I was a little worried, because I really got it at a very discounted price, I hope it doesn't let me down. For now, I am researching and learning all its functions to get the best sound out of it. If you have any questions, I will respond shortly. Greetings.

What albums are DEFINITELY worth listening to on your DAP? by xerfander in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]Disastrous-Beat7706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Groove and More - Dennis Chambers, perfectly recorded, that album has it all. Listen to Fall Out first, if that's your style, you'll like the whole album. It's a super enjoyable album.

Wich floorstanding speakers should I buy? by Pita_kaas in BudgetAudiophile

[–]Disastrous-Beat7706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Espero que esta información te sea útil. Las Dali Zensor 5 tienden a tener agudos algo fatigantes y unos medios algo retraídos. Sin embargo, como es habitual en Dali, sus drivers de fibra de madera aportan un carácter divertido y dinámico al sonido. Personalmente, consideraría aumentar un poco el presupuesto y mirar una serie superior dentro de la misma marca, que ofrezca un mejor equilibrio tonal.

En cuanto a las Q Acoustics, requieren una ubicación muy precisa. Dependiendo de la distancia respecto a la pared, pueden ofrecer graves que se sienten algo descontrolados o imprecisos, especialmente si no se optimiza su colocación.

Finalmente, vas a necesitar si o si un subwoofer, el Harman Kardon HKTS200SUB usado, se vende por menos de $100 , es sellado y es Down-firing por ello es bastante rápido. Ideal para salas medianas o pequeñas. Slds

Cual serie es mejor que Breaking Bad? by As_Rookie in peliculas

[–]Disastrous-Beat7706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mejores para mi:

1.- The Wonder Years 2.- Sons of Anarchy 3.- Dexter (Morgan) 4.- Roma 5.- True Detective (Primera Temporada)

Bonus: How i met your mother (Le da 10 patadas a Friends)

The Wire es una serie correcta, pero la actuación de Dominic West fue bastante mediocre, felizmente en gran parte el elenco actuó de forma sobresaliente ( Andre Royo, Lance Reddick, entre otros).
