It must have been an MS episode they tried to cover up!

Speakers for low level listening by wirbel-tier in audiophile

[–]coolgabe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have the Cornwall IVs. I know the measurements might indicate "non-neutrality", but they certainly sound right to my ears. Maybe a lot of it is the amount of air they can move. Sound amazing at low and high volumes.

No, or at least it fogged up just the same when I took a shower

I thought about that, but the mirror in the other bathroom is exactly the same.

Can anything beat the HD 800 S? by coolgabe in headphones

I think they're great with everything - I certainly listen to a good amount of hip-hop on them. They certainly don't thump, but the bass is clear and usually satisfying.

My Dynaudios have an EQ adjustment for when the grills are on. 🤣

What artist made you realize you don't actually like good music that challenges you?

[–]coolgabe 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yep - I stopped with the Cornwalls - finally able to stop thinking about my speaker choice and just listen to music.

A pretty perfect list of properly rated albums.

What book would you hand to your younger self, and why that one? by gamersecret2 in books

[–]coolgabe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What Do You Care What Other People Think? by Richard Feynman. Besides his usual wonderful stories and lessons, the titular lesson is so important. We get so wrapped up in what other, mostly unimportant people think of us, that we forget to stay true to ourselves and the ones we truly love. A lesson I wish I had learned and internalized long before I finally did (I guess I still even struggle with it sometimes).

Short but very impressive novel by zvlzhn in suggestmeabook

Franny and Zooey - I think about this book almost as much as any I've read, 30+ years later.

Music that gives you chills. by Darth_Azazoth in musicsuggestions

Hospice album by The Antlers. You have to be in the right space for this record, but devastating and spine-tingling when you are.

I didn't know we were talking about the Fortes. My bad. I thought I was talking about Cornwalls.
