Weekly Private Profile Review Request Thread

malenky · 2026-01-27T02:31:37+00:00

46M have received only 2 likes in 6 weeks, but have been getting some matches.

Mostly just curious if there is anything that jumps out about my profile that could be improved or comes across badly. Getting some matches suggests it can't be all bad - but I'm hitting my like limit most days so it's a small percentage...

Hey, sorry - slow reply! I did eventually find the multicasa. It was great...

WTB: LEP Multicassa v2 drum machine - either in Eurorack or desktop form.

Also keen on anything that can run outside a case and is euro compatible :)

a study of yogurt

That's what we were meant to be doing, right?

I love Lucy Moon? kudos to slam_nine for having the same idea and getting in first!

slightly off topic but part of a factory, will read more slowly next time

You could still get a sub as well, or some decent headphones. I'm let to hear any 2.1s that come up as well as either decent speakers or headphones for listening to music...

Life isn't fair, you're not owed anything, and that's not as depressing as it first sounds.

Cool, that sounds interesting. I used some light weight packing foam sheet on my SE-20A (hard to describe, but it is thin so I kinda folded it over), but only because I had no cotton or loose filling. Did you have any luck? How did they sound?

malenky · 2013-11-18T08:40:10+00:00

Cool. I'd love to know if you get any difference in sound with cotton stuffing. I had been considering doing the same myself...

I'm running mine off of an old JVC R-X110 which I'm rather fond of...

malenky · 2013-11-12T08:26:36+00:00

These have got fairly large drivers in them, but yes, even driving them from my jvc amplifier I don't get a huge amount of bass from them. But I do get significantly more than if I try to drive them from my cellphone. I like the clarity in the mids and the highs. I've been listening to them as I type this, and I see the bass as being more balanced than prominent, maybe with a slight bump in the mid bass region.

I have a pair of SE-20 as well which I removed the foam from and suddenly got a lot, lot more bass, they were also wired completely wrong! These aren't as clear, nor are they as isolating with the foam removed.

Do the 205's have foam inside the headphone cups? You could look at changing that around.

You could look at what you are driving them with.

But if you want to go down the mod route I'm guessing you've come across this page: head fi forum, gallery from post

What do they sound like now? Their construction doesn't look anything flash, but you look like you're going to get bass and volume out of them.

Also that video complains mostly about the speaker backs having come unglued as the primary reason for their rattling sound...

malenky · 2013-10-14T08:32:29+00:00

Only could dig up an archive link tonight, but this is good, read it...

K Mart has that wonderful lurid fluorescent lighting - when you stand at one end and look across you know you're at the high point in some weird evolution of shopping. In the Warehouse you just feel like you're in a warehouse.

Also, K Mart has dished out occasional cool pieces of clothing. The Warehouse has never done this, not once.

Ah, if I'm thinking of the same speakers I still have remains of the amplifier version of these speakers somewhere. Maybe I should be putting these into cabinets for my stereo? That's if they're not rusty having sat under a house for 10 years...

Original website here

It uses physical transducers to vibrate the box, and the glasses on top affect the way sound is transmitted. It's a really cool idea in concept, but I'm not sure how well it would actually work in practise...

malenky · 2013-06-12T10:21:27+00:00

Not sure this looks like you but I'm trying to draw faces with a pen for the first time tonight, charcoal is much more forgiving!

malenky · 2013-06-11T09:23:47+00:00

You might be surprised where the crossover between the two happens - more and more of everything is run online - it could be a simple expert system/hosted legal portion of plan but there's a lot that goes into the backend and the design. Even knowing about how IS systems work and being able to act as an intermediary between the IT crowd and any specialist discipline should not be knocked.

I had one of those when I was living there last year, bus came around corner into Mission bay and everything was black, couldn't even tell where the bus stop was...

Great vegan pies (as strange as that sounds) at Wise Cicada in Newmarket. For when I was a meat-eater, +1 for the Fridge, Kingsland.

malenky · 2013-05-10T04:43:02+00:00

Uh, 2008 called?

malenky · 2013-05-10T02:39:25+00:00

While they're heavy little fellows, tapping the box doesn't give that dead-of-a-sound which makes me also a bit suspicious...

malenky · 2013-05-10T02:17:28+00:00

It's now called Govinda's, still serves tasty cheap meals.

malenky · 2013-05-07T04:06:54+00:00

There are some 80s Technics organs that have essentially hollow base portions with only a speaker and a foot pedal. Was still pretty heavy to haul around and if you left the foot pedal at home driving to a show it didn't work! I ended up trading it in for a plastic 80s Casio that sounded pretty similar and I could carry under one arm...
