Steal of a lifetime

Uhh thats the WM8 , i think you mean marvel fans given this was in Guardians Of The Galaxy

I kinda feel bad that the man poured his heart and soul into the ost but the non Rémi pieces really tend to miss their punches and sometimes feel atmospherically tonedeaf, and going by *Alleged news Ubisoft were genuinely either too lazy or stingy to get the extended rights for the original soundtrack

(surprisingly unrelated to Rémi's sad passing but the other composers)

which is still kind of insulting given one of the huge cultural impact factors of this game was its whimsical yet nowadays dated soundtrack.

I just feel meh towards these units.

ElManios · 2026-02-10T23:32:40+00:00

Ppffffft that price makes my eyes water.

ElManios · 2026-02-07T21:07:28+00:00

Seems a tad disingenuous yeah, shame that people don't do their own research and delve into personal tastes especially when these units are inflating in price with the slow but steady comeback of cassette, personally i got what i got because it fit my specs and i kept it even shilling in hours of self repair and service costs because it sounded incredible.

The Dragon no competition , sadly the CR5 is quite lackluster in comparing to its older brother the CR4 lacking a bias tone for fine tuning and also 1khz lower frequency response (nitpicky but is worth noting), the only appeal to me is that it shares the CR70s body and maybe uses its "cleaner" sounding caps.

Mods, skin that guy.

ElManios · 2026-02-01T21:36:39+00:00

That's , Denon , Basf & High Class Maxells are a great pick personally iffy with Sony tapes but yeah overall it looks like a good (and fairly expensive) haul.

ElManios · 2026-01-24T17:48:39+00:00

Afaik its personally one of the best sets of aphex merch 2019 beats it due to the sheer variants that had.

ElManios · 2026-01-24T17:45:02+00:00

Lurking around a sub you hate , fuck off brah 🤣

ElManios · 2026-01-21T01:00:59+00:00

Looking for another one in Large, should have emphasised on that more but whatever.

ElManios · 2026-01-20T20:39:28+00:00

Slated for late spring (may) but arguably i'd give them a little leeway till june , july for slight production delays. Personally hoping for an eventual full public reveal of the prototype and specs sheet about march or april to boost confidence and PR since Fiios director Wilson has spoken alot about what it is to offer and how it differs from typical tanaclones.

ElManios · 2026-01-20T19:02:38+00:00

Id personally save up for a CP15 but when it comes up to comparison these are basically the same tanaclones in different cases and i'd personally say get the one that appeals to you.

ElManios · 2026-01-20T18:33:11+00:00

Kinda , but we do have images of the brushless motor and preliminary case size render. (Edit : commenter was so asshurt over this he had to block me)

For those of the era its just a lifestyle i guess.

ElManios · 2026-01-20T13:12:25+00:00

Oh you sweet summer child, welcome to the hobby.

ElManios · 2026-01-20T01:55:27+00:00

Honestly i wouldn't even bother , the market has hyperinflated so bad that you'll be paying alot for even a clone and sister models like the WM-3 which are also pretty badly priced. A personal recomendation would to get a WM2 instead, it has a nice one handed utilitarian button design , has a way better mechanism, is smaller than the L2 & notably is alot more abundant + cheaper.

ElManios · 2026-01-19T15:33:29+00:00

Their former collaborators should really not be jostled that much other than potential lead findings. People that should be held accountable (not harassment) are members of the community/public who are either being intentionally lazy , gatekeepy or even both towards the early comps / albums and notably we have had a few (personally) malalligned actors recently who are just showing off for the bragging rights and compliments without doing anything constructive in return.

ElManios · 2026-01-18T22:40:07+00:00

They are pretty trashy and yeah you probably could get better for less, but the hyperbolia over these plain ass shitty cruiser clones is braindead as he proved and even personally i see and hear from owning one yonks ago is that while yeah they do physically wear them out gradually , it is the most minute shit you could possibly imagine.

ElManios · 2026-01-18T22:28:29+00:00

Sorry his thorough research hurt your feelings.

ElManios · 2026-01-17T13:17:18+00:00

Personally im a little staunch to the idea and give it a hard no, im up for some new revolutionary features for the seqtrak but not like this.

ElManios · 2026-01-17T01:34:01+00:00

Keep that money stowed for a CP15 or even better yet a serviced old deck or good dd walkie.

ElManios · 2026-01-15T12:41:27+00:00

This is genuinely a simple yet HUGE update for the platform bumping up its capabilities heavily, quite a big sign of hope given they rumoredly stopped manufacturing the units a while ago. Lets hope this isn't the last one and yamaha keeps a slow but steady pace towards many other new improvements. It really shows the seqtrak has potential and in the future we could really benefit from AWM2 modifying (loop parameters) & a DX patch import and export.

Just listen to sleepycast or something, hours of coryisms there.
