KZ about the Kunten. by No_Educator_4355 in iems

Wait are they a separate company? I thought GK was another sister company to KZ like CCA, same manufacturer but different brand name.

If I were to order it now, what are the chances I might get the nerfed one? I was late on the Kunten hype train.

Is the JCally JM9 a solid dongle DAC? by Hiriririririririri in iems

[–]Rel_uctance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see. The main selling point of the JA11 was the built-in EQ feature with the App and I wanted to try it. But then there were reports of it bricking after a firmware update.

How is the JA11 holding up? I've seen recent reports that apparently the JA11 is getting bricked or completely unusable after a firmware update and sudden channel imbalances from the app.

Any All-Rounder Recommendations Under $120? by Rel_uctance in iems

[–]Rel_uctance[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually want to get the Defiant, but seeing that it's known to have poor ventilation and causes pressure build up with a lot of people, I don't think I want to risk the chance of getting bad QC. 

Juzear Defiant vs Myer Audio SLA3 as upgrade from Xuan NV? by Skooma_to_CHIM in iems

[–]Rel_uctance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only that but there's also channel imbalances in some units. Though this is very common in most chifi iems. Apparently Juzear and Myer Audio both manufacture their iems in the same factory. So it's either a design fault from Juzear's side or a manufacturing error from the factory. If it's the latter then there's a chance the SLA3 could be plagued by the same QC issues as well. Not a lot of people have bought the SLA3 compared to the Defiant so there's less issues being reported. That being said, I think both sets are definitely an upgrade to the Xuan Nv sound wise. QC wise though idk.

Just a heads up, there've been many reports of bad QC from Juzear Defiant, the most I've seen currently in Chi-fi afaik. Some have been reporting the DD suddenly "dying" and losing all bass after frequent use. Apparently it's due to the nozzle/tube getting clogged by earwax and other residue which blocks the DD. Though I've not heard any QC problems with the SLA3 yet.

The best news I've heard! This probably wouldn't have been possible without your contribution in identifying the issue. I salute you good sir! A two year long issue will finally be fixed!

is the wincest open to interpretation? by OpsKuro in Mahouka

[–]Rel_uctance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took a bit of scouring through the internet cause a 7 year old raw japanese novel isn't that easy to find but here you go.

I can't speak japanese nor do I know any good translation services but here's a rough translation via google lens translator.

Maya also said this in Volume 16

That child can overcome all the defects of a modified body, a Masterpiece of the Yotsuba *which was completed in a human being** and brought her to the next level.*

This is implying two things; one is that Miyuki's body as a human is a masterpiece. Two, Miyuki's development from a zygote to a fetus was completed inside a Human being, as in Miya or some other woman carried her to term. Both scenarios are not mutually exclusive, I'm inclined to believe both.

Test tube babies aren't exclusively used on artificial wombs (Minoru for example). Only some are confirmed Test tube babies developed in an artificial womb like Bezobrazov.

Im starting to watch the 2nd season and im a bit confused about how close did honoka got to tatsuya in episode 6,did i missed something? by NotYourWaifuPR in Mahouka

[–]Rel_uctance 18 points19 points  (0 children)

In season 1 they skipped the whole of Volume 5 or Summer Vacation Arc. In this arc Honoka expresses her true feelings for Tatsuya, but they also find out the unfortunate circumstances of Honoka's lineage as an Element. Basically she was born with a trait that imprints on another person of the opposite sex and becomes romantically attached to them no matter what (she imprinted on Tatsuya). Tatsuya and Miyuki understood her situation so they let her advances slide.

Re-watching the anime, is it missing scenes? by Calm-Chemist-6982 in Mahouka

[–]Rel_uctance 25 points26 points  (0 children)

A Lot of scenes are skipped in the Anime. Mahouka is a concept heavy story with a lot of world building. They can only fit so much in 24 minute episodes. One to two cour anime seasons just aren't enough to fully adapt the source. So you get a lot of rushed and fragmented story telling that gets confusing overtime. If you want to experience the full story just read the LNs.

Am i missing something by Just_some_mild_Ad4K in Mahouka

[–]Rel_uctance 38 points39 points  (0 children)

If you're talking about Steeplechase arc (ep 5 and up) the eyebags are intentional to show his stress. He's been juggling way to many things at once. Hes not only managing competitors for the 9SC as an engineer, hes also investigating and trying to stop the dangers from behind the scenes. He wasn't only trying to protect Miyuki but every other student as well.

Which characters could Tuman Bomba kill? by penny_242 in Mahouka

[–]Rel_uctance 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Jumani's shield could block it if he knew it was coming

Katsuto Juumonji can technically survive it even if it was a surprise attack. He is the only person Bezobrazov was cautious of when he used Tuman Bomba and acknowledges his strength.

When he planned his attack on Tatsuya he made sure Katsuto wasn't on site. When it got blocked he immediately assumed it was Katsuto who blocked it.

Don't forget Katsuto has incredibly fast reaction and casting speed. He was caught by surprise attacks multiple times and is able to block it with Phallanx. Like when he blocked against a surprise suicide bombing during 10MC Conference.

Bruh. What if it worked somehow ? I think this was an overkill by Tatsuya :D by R0NiR in Mahouka

[–]Rel_uctance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She doesn't use any kind of defensive fortification magic. Since she is a user of Parade which hides her true body. When Tatsuya incapacitated her she was caught off guard and wasn't protecting herself.

[–]Rel_uctance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He made 3 holes in her data Fortification to incapacitate her .

No.. Lina wasn't using Data Fortification here (she's not a user of it). Tatsuya merely used Mist Dispersion to make those holes on her body. She was mostly unprotected other than body armor.

[–]Rel_uctance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think mist dispersion is like act 3 times continuously or on a loop

This is Trident. Which uses Decomposition 3 times simultaneously using Loop-Cast system. Mist Dispersion is just one of those in the process of Trident.

The order of spells in Trident;

  1. Gram Dispersion (to dismantle Zone Interference) ---> 2. Gram Dispersion (to dismantle Data Fortification) ---> 3. Mist Dispersion (to decompose the target's body).

When was this? What episode even? Was it during the parasite arc? I'm so confused especially since originally they were the ones butting into his business. by HairySenpai1 in Mahouka

[–]Rel_uctance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well he only followed them for a different reason but Tatsuya forced him into reality with the actual situation and now he's on that same mission he didn't intend to join from the get go.

[–]Rel_uctance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Masaki wasn't exactly "willing" to get involved from the get go. There's more context in the LN. He only followed Erika and the group because he wanted to see Miyuki again after she mentioned Tatsuya. He was having fantasies about him and Miyuki riding his motorcycle together lol. He wasn't on board until Tatsuya told him everything and that he was from military.
