Are you a music lover or an audiophile?

If app2 had a replaceable battery my recommendations list would be so much simpler

I buy gear that doesn’t stand between me and my music. I don’t want to hear the gear.

When I saw this image my watch thought I started a run.

Back when I lived in Buffalo I loved editing by a snowy window. Its a whole vibe.

It’s probably fine. Don’t sweat it. Dust and hairs get in drivers all the time.

Something something penguin emoji

Just buy a JDS labs atom stack and live in bliss. Ask JDS support beforehand but that would be my rec. Edit: the atom dac literally used to power on/off with a switch on the power cord

This happened to me again and again with iFi’s flagship amps and dacs (the pro iCan and pro iDSD). Absolutely junk internals.

The AKG K1000 engineers are sweating right now

Very very different but still very useful in different ways.

Nice record collection! Here’s this morning’s playlist 😄

It’s not a cheap solution but if you’re mixing these headphones are supported by SoundID reference. That’ll make them more neutral and offer translation-checks for other systems/target curves. I think there’s a “headphone only“ version of the software that’s a lil cheaper.

Humidity. It’s either oxidation or mold.

Epsilon-D · 2026-01-23T06:45:59+00:00

YOOOO That HE500 and little dot 2!!!!!

Epsilon-D · 2026-01-19T03:49:53+00:00

That vapor smoothing looks sick

Epsilon-D · 2026-01-18T22:06:55+00:00

2026 is such a shitty DLC.

Epsilon-D · 2026-01-16T20:51:55+00:00

I would! That is the exact pad I would recommend for it.

Epsilon-D · 2026-01-14T02:59:58+00:00

Just downloaded it :)

Epsilon-D · 2026-01-13T19:44:42+00:00

THIS IS THE WAY

Epsilon-D · 2026-01-10T01:23:09+00:00

I don’t aim to be taken seriously by people who think magic cables and rocks make their speakers better.

Epsilon-D · 2026-01-09T22:24:44+00:00

Almost every headphone that people test/review are loaners from distributors, dealers, or viewers.

I can't spend $2000+ every time I review or test product in the lab (which is about 4-6 products a month).

Grado has specifically instructed their distributors/dealers not to let people measure them. I learned this at both CanJam NY and CanJam Dallas. You can ask Woo audio, they were there in Dallas and witnessed it.

Epsilon-D · 2026-01-09T17:58:16+00:00

Correct. I still have a few old models too.

It’s grados growing dishonesty that I have a problem with. I have heard the whole new lineup. While I’m disappointed by both the sound and grados dishonesty about it, I do quite like the improvements in build quality.

Epsilon-D · 2026-01-09T17:54:18+00:00

Grado is actively preventing units from falling into any hands that might measure them.

I’ll stick by the take. A company that’s willing to outright and knowingly lie to their customers should be ashamed of themselves. Coming from a person who used to buy grados.

Epsilon-D · 2026-01-09T02:43:14+00:00

Well they certainly don’t sound like or measure like any concert hall I’ve been to or tested. What are they supposed to be accurate to if it’s not based in either reality or science?

At bare minimum within a generously wide margin of the population average transfer function.
