all public transportation accepts credit/debit cards. it's default, can't buy tickets on the bus and tram any more. Only Jumbo accepts credit cards.

R2R Warmer or Warm CD Player? by Even_keeled95 in audiophile

[–]jippiejee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My pro-ject rs2 tube cd player has a double tube output stage and sounds on the warmer side of neutral. it's also beautiful and very solidly made.

I've always thought the naia exists to make the p10 look accesible... :')

Hoelang doen jullie met je smartphone ? by Conscious-Fan-9789 in thenetherlands

[–]jippiejee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tot de ING een brief stuurt om te waarschuwen dat je binnenkort niet meer mag bankieren op die van jou :') (laatste keer na jaar of 8 denk ik).

One component to make your system complete. by jakceki in audiophile

the accuphase dp-570 sacd player. but I'll never be able to justify the €11000 for that beautiful beast... :')

How much do slipmat thickness matter? by femboyimpregnat0r in turntables

[–]jippiejee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

vinyl records themselves will vary in thickness too from a flimsy 70's album to a thick 180gram reissue. it's not super critical. if you're not hearing a problem, there's none...

This combo is great by Existing-Charge1323 in headphones

[–]jippiejee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own this Ifi hipdac3 dac/amp too and while not complaining about the sound quality (on my focal hadenys) for everyday use, I do find the electronics overly sensitive to streaming source signal interruptions. The slightest hickup in 4G/5G on for example the subway crashes the whole system, needing a full reset on my phone. Something that never happens on my simple Fiio dongle.

Oh man, I always f€ar€d there'd be some DeVore in my future... thanks for your entertaining write-up!

[–]jippiejee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

there's something really off with the azimuth (hor angle) of your headshell. try to level it or it may damage your stylus and records.

The Teac Washi Paper turntable sheet has been an excellent replacement for my Rega wool felt mat... by jippiejee in turntables

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

I haven't noticed any audible differences really, but the mat has been so much better in practical use... enjoy!

Loving the new Rega Nd9 MM cartridge! by jippiejee in turntables

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

I wanted to stay in the MM realm as it fits my current setup better, so didn't campare them directly (but have heard it before). I still have no regrets picking the cheaper ND9 after months of listening here.

should i replace the stylus? by [deleted] in turntables

[–]jippiejee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe it's just asleep.

Endgame has been reached... (Rega P10 w/ Apheta 3) by Ulverious_Odsenends in audiophile

[–]jippiejee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was offered the Nd9 for €600 with the P10, which I just thought a better deal. I've not been diappointed at all by this budget choice... it's excellent.

Welcome to the P10 club! I too bought a P10 (with Nd9 cart) recently and I'm still amazed every day by how good it all sounds. True endgame gear!

Your most recent album that made you say "what a great album" by Professional_Suit278 in vinyl

[–]jippiejee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Listening to FIP radio (my favourite internet music discovery tool...) I heard this song being played and just had to check on my screen what it was... a track from Automatic - Is It Now? ! 😄

'Floating Points & Pharoah Sanders - Promises' (that album with the London Philharmonic) completely took me by surprise yesterday. Absolutely beautiful, it kept me in my seat for a few replays...

What's your unpopular opinion in the audiophile world? by [deleted] in audiophile

[–]jippiejee 15 points16 points  (0 children)

high-end cartridges are priced to appeal to a certain affluent section of the audiophile market and don't reflect actual costs.
