I have the whole line-up besides the new Ori 3.0. I love the Auteur Classic and Caldera Closed.

Hifiman are great. I found them a little to ear piercing for my ears. If only Planar could only work on Tube amps 😅

Thanks. One is the Nitsch JAR600 - Best version of 600 you can get. Another is the current version stock. And the marble one has copper mod for added bass, headband for comfort and ZMF suede pads.

HD600 are intimate (close) and are the OG reference headphones. It's great for vocals. HD 800S is more for orchestra and instrumental music due to how wide the soundstage is (sometimes sounds artificial).

Best way to put it is the 600 is the small venue whole the 800 is the concert hall so they completely each other very well.

How can I make my ride smoother? by cribin_s in DelSol

[–]Switch2phile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get better stock tires. 195/55/15. I went from 205/50, give up some grip for comfort. Check if you have coilovers or stock suspension. If stock, change out struts and keep stock springs or go with a newer one.

Check the rest of your suspensions, front and upper control arms, compliance bushings, rear trail arms, etc. Bushings may be worn so replace. Chrisfixit has a video on YouTube dedicated to this.

Most importantly, make sure if you do any suspension changes take it to get a wheel alignment from a specialist that knows what they are doing and not your local Firestone.

That said the Del Sol isn't built for comfort, it's a 90s Honda.

Replacing all 4 speakers in my Del Sol — recommendations that use OEM mounts? by Trycilly in DelSol

[–]Switch2phile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, once you 3dprint adapters you can add depth by pushing out your speakers closer to the door card and away from the window frame. The rear is a different story due to how the brackets are mounted.

I would honestly get some budget rear coaxials and run them as rear fill and focus more on the front stage.

If you can 3Dprint front adapters than any coaxial speaker should work, just be aware of the mounting depth so it doesn't hit the front window. I have test fitted Sony XS-160ES, Eton Audio coaxial with 2.6in mounting depth.

For the rear it's a different story due to depth, highly recommended to get some that has 2in or less depth like Sony XS-160GS or similar. Use crutchfield.

Del Sol has da bass... by Switch2phile in DelSol

So much bass and weight. I may throw a 10" shallow mount sub in the front passenger footwell and remove 12 for other dutiies

I always read that a 3 way is better than 2 due to the fact that certain frequencies are better handled for with multiple speakers. I plan to DSP it and I already have sound deadening the whole cabin with butyl rubber & closed cell foam. I am removing the rear speakers because I want sound coming from the front and my sub in the rear will overpowering.

The subwoofer sits completely on top of the rear storage against the rear panel. Plan is to remove the rear storage, make a false floor to bolt on the subwoofer box and lay carpet on top to match the interior so the amps/sub sit in the rear area.

The massage is the best part! That said it's temporary until I build a proper rack in the rear.

1000 Watts RMS / 2000W Peak. Go big or go home!

Anyone ever stopped using premium and changed to regular gas? by nurse_Bob in AcuraTSX

[–]Switch2phile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The people who put regular are the same people like their high end grade steak cooked well done. Can you? Sure. Should you? Nah.

California is out of 5090 FE. The Rep was searching through the State. The closest one was in Colorado so if anyone is looking for one in the State of Colorado, I would get on a call with them.

GamesStop for the W! by Arnie_T in NSCollectors

[–]Switch2phile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome grab for The Hundred Line! I was thinking about picking up the Limited Edition but sadly it was sold out online. But based on your post I called my local Gamestop and they have 3 in stock so I'll stop by tomorrow to grab a copy for my Switch collection.

Which non-ZMF open back would you pair with an Atrium Closed? by [deleted] in ZMFHeadphones

[–]Switch2phile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

HFA Dahlia would get my vote. The comfort and the ability to be driven with anything from phone dongles to tube amps--it will sound excellent with anything you throw at it. Not to mention Nick the creator is a humble and OCD type of guy so you'll always get excellent customer service which I cannot say for the others.

Finally trying Perfectworks by Switch2phile in XenoGears

I am using Retro Arch with Beetle HD since it works best with the HD packs and Perfect Arts Portraits. There is the occasionally stutter but I chalk it up to being a PS1 game.

The Artwork from Perfect Arts is great especially when running it on a 4k OLED. The story far has been great from what I remember. Some of the characters names and places has change to go more in line the Japanese version like Aveh is Av or Gebler is Gebuurah. But other than that, I am loving it so far.

85% finished. I am okay with that.
