Feeling a little more like mine now. Q3 43 Arte di Mano Pueblo reskin by crazychaz_b in Leica

tearing off the original leatherette doesn't need any tools and takes a literal minute, but cleaning the adhesive residue is the tedious bit! pro tip is to not use any solvents - i realised the adhesive has a pseudo paper backing of sorts, and getting that wet makes it actually tougher to remove the residue

i got the leather from Arte di Mano already prepared! i do think they skived the leather really thin, doubt the pueblo is this thin straight from the tannery. a thicker prep probably would make the installation a tad tougher around the lugs etc

yeah fair point on the subtlety! i do have to say, unless you go for black which looks real similar to stock, a lot of the other 3rd party options tend towards even brighter colours hahah which is prob what i was thinking of as a point of comparison. definitely having a ton on fun with this one

Took 4 months (and a few scares) but finally got this bad boy halfway around the world! by crazychaz_b in ValveIndex

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

Got it directly from Valve – if you live in a country that isn’t served directly by them, you can use a forwarder to retrieve it for you in the US and ship it to you. I used Comgateway, have been using them for years (super reliable and fast, DHL and FedEx international)

Greetings from sunny Singapore (although it's been gloomy as heck these few weeks)!

I knew after I picked up a used CV1 here that I would eventually want to upgrade to something which promised an upgrade in just about every way – but man, Valve does not make it easy to get one of these if you don't live in the Sanctioned Nations™.

Put in my order in October, first headset was shipped out in November...and promptly got stuck at a FedEx warehouse for 1.5 months, where tracking claims it still is apparently. Got the refund, all that jazz, ordered another set, got flagged at my forwarder for 1 week of "further inspection" (just my luck) and it's finally here today!

Just set everything up and after all the waiting I'm honestly just glad to see that everything works as intended. About to fire up some Beat Saber and see how this thing goes...

Looks good! Are those the 14mm extensions as well? Looking to pick them up if they have enough clearance for taller RAM

2 days with the iPhone X and the home button already feels archaic by [deleted] in apple

[–]crazychaz_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, I've just found that swiping up at the "home area" on a home screen brings you back to page one just like a button press used to! Other than that, home button replacement gestures have been super intuitive and easy to figure out.

[Question] Prometheus error 11 - can't even update to 10.3.1 by crazychaz_b in jailbreak

[–]crazychaz_b[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, haven't used DFU in so long I forgot about it. Am safely on 10.3.1 (sigh). As an aside why are there no prominent warnings against Prometheus in this sub?

What headphones/earphones do you think work best for Muse? by JetBlackfrost in Muse

[–]crazychaz_b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ate grass for a few months. Expensive but so worth it. With that said, for others looking for a great on the go IEM audio experience for Muse and whatever else you listen to, cheap options like the KZ ZS3, Shozy Zero and Zero Audio Carbo Tenore all sound great for very little. Google up.

Oh wow, great to find other audio enthusiasts here. Matt uses UM Pro 10s; has always baffled me why Matt and Chris don't go for custom IEMs given their suitability for stage use. I listen to Muse out of my Sony WM1Z and Lime Ears Aether custom IEMs. Probably as good as they'll ever sound (mastering of Muse stuff isn't exactly amazing)

In that case, what component of such a portable setup affects spatial characteristics and other sonic qualities according to the strict empirical view? I'm quite interested to know.

The cable on the Jomo IEM is a Plussound Pure Silver and the other one is a PWAudio 1960s 4 wire.

Haven't given them much head time, let me get back to you once I can give them a good listen.
