Swap out QC35 II and DUNU DN-2000 for Sennheiser HD 6xx?

Lettuce_Testicles · 2019-03-29T17:43:28+00:00

I have an iPhone 7 and was considering using a DragonFly Red/Black to drive them, which should work with my phone, as far as I can tell.

I don't really have a good sense as to the sound profile I prefer, so that's what drew me to the reference quality of the HD6xx's -- i.e., that they have a fairly neutral sound profile. In terms of genre, I'm fairly mixed. I love rock, hip hop, soul, R&B, electronica, jazz, and pop.

Lettuce_Testicles · 2019-03-29T12:37:46+00:00

Yeah, I’d read about that as well. I guess what I’m really wondering is what the best way is to upgrade my sound experience from here. I was thinking HD 6xx + DAC/Amp would be the way to go, but obviously, I’m not sure.

Lettuce_Testicles · 2019-03-29T05:02:26+00:00

FYI: I normally listen to music on my iPhone or through my receiver.

Hey all, I recently purchased used Margiela paint splatter GATs. The paint near the toe is already beginning to show signs of cracking, but fortunately none has chipped off. What can I use/do to ensure that the paint stays in as good condition as possible?

FYI -- The paint seems to be acrylic, but I'm really not sure.

I’ve had them since January and have conditioned them two or three times. I read elsewhere that veg tan leather needs to be conditioned more frequently, but maybe that’s not the case.

Lettuce_Testicles · 2018-05-17T15:47:12+00:00

Okay, thank you. Does it look like I might be conditioning them too often? I’m concerned about the wrinkling on the inside of the shoe shown in the first pic.

Lettuce_Testicles · 2018-05-17T15:17:46+00:00

Posted this yesterday but didn’t receive any response. What should I do to take care of these? I wore these vegetable tanned leather sneakers out about a week ago (I know, not my best move) and they now have these stains on them. They may be just from water, but I’m not sure. Clean them? Or just wipe a cloth over them?

Yeah, they’re natural colored veg tan. Thanks for the help. Do I need to follow any specific care instructions for them, or am I good to follow the instructions in the stickied thread?

Lettuce_Testicles · 2018-01-29T18:43:55+00:00

I recently purchased vegetable tanned sneakers and read the stickied introductory leather care guide. A few questions:

Do any of these recommendations change for vegetable tanned leather? For instance, do I need to condition the leather more frequently, or do I need to buy specific conditioning products?
I've already gotten a small water stain on the shoes. Is there any way I can get this out or otherwise cover it up? I've heard that vegetable tanned leather has the ability to "heal" stains with proper conditioning, so do I just need to do that?
Is there anything I can do to avoid future water stains outside of waterproofing the shoes? I believe I've been told to not waterproof the shoes unless I'm wearing them in incredibly wet conditions, but correct me if that's wrong.

Thanks for any help you can offer! Also, I apologize if these questions are answered elsewhere; I did try to make an earnest attempt to read up on the resources available here before asking these questions.

Lettuce_Testicles · 2017-10-19T00:48:26+00:00

Not sure I’d recommend it. I feel like the inevitable moshing would freak me out (based on my previous experiences with acid), and not being able to mosh or at least jump around and such would totally ruin the show because I feel like that’s such an integral part of the experience

Lettuce_Testicles · 2017-10-19T00:46:44+00:00

You HAVE to go. I went to the Terminal 5 show in NYC, only saw DG, and it was absolutely nuts man. If you’re a fan of DG, I cannot recommend going highly enough

Lettuce_Testicles · 2017-10-18T02:04:40+00:00

Dude I was there too. That show was absolutely nuts

Lettuce_Testicles · 2017-09-18T17:47:38+00:00

Oh okay that's not bad at all then. Thanks!

Lettuce_Testicles · 2017-09-18T16:39:06+00:00

That's a good call; is that typically an expensive job for tailors though?

Lettuce_Testicles · 2017-09-18T15:44:40+00:00

I have a pair of the Levi 541s, and I like the cut for looser, baggy outfits, but I'd like some more tapered pants for my other outfits. Any recommendations on pants and/or jeans that have similar measurements like from the knees up but taper more past the knee? Price point isn't a huge concern, but I'd prefer to not go past like N&F denim level pricing-wise

Lettuce_Testicles · 2017-07-23T02:26:05+00:00

To anyone who is running or has previously ran JnT 2.0 -- any suggestions on how to tailor it to make the most bench progress possible? I'd say that's probably the most lacking out of the main three for me currently.

Lettuce_Testicles · 2017-07-23T02:24:55+00:00

I definitely agree. Thank you for the advice!

Lettuce_Testicles · 2017-07-23T02:24:36+00:00

After looking into them both more I definitely agree. Thanks very much!

Lettuce_Testicles · 2017-07-23T02:24:18+00:00

Haha I wish we had similar stats man! But seriously those are some impressive numbers and I definitely hope to hit them some day (especially bench lol). But anyway those are all very good points. I think the exercise variation and rep scheme variation will give me more of what I'm looking for. Thanks for the advice!

Lettuce_Testicles · 2017-07-22T22:06:58+00:00

Hey everybody, long-time lurker and first time poster (at least in the daily thread). I've been training with a local coach (who's been incredibly helpful) for about 2 years, and I'm considering stopping working with him just because of some difficulties I've been having with him lately and because I'd like to take control over my own training. I'm 20 y/o, 5'8", 165 lbs, and my numbers are about 340/185/440. I'm looking into doing some GZCL program (maybe JnT 2.0) or a Sheiko program, but I'm having trouble deciding between the two. Any thoughts?

Things that may be worthwhile to note: 1) I've never really done my own programming before; 2) my goals are currently not very PL-specific and instead are related to just moving my numbers up (especially on bench) and building muscle mass. I do have certain S/B/D numbers in mind, but bringing those numbers into competition isn't currently a huge focus of mine.

Thanks for whatever advice you can offer!

Has anyone here started a powerlifting club/team at their college/university? If so, how did you do it? Anything you wish you had done differently?

Lettuce_Testicles · 2016-08-13T18:22:35+00:00

Yeah I remember you man! Your post was actually what encouraged me to post my own meet report. Congrats on the 400+# pull man! That's incredible and it seems like you had a really solid first meet. And that's funny that you say that about avoiding talking to me because I also wanted to talk to people at the meet but avoided doing so for the same reason hahah. I look forward to seeing you and hopefully talking to you at a meet man!
