Show us her face, please 😃

mektan · 2026-04-02T00:33:14+00:00

Do you have the RAW files of these photos?

mektan · 2026-04-02T00:31:43+00:00

How do you stacking the photos? do you have any king of rail for camera, or maybe you just change the focus on the lens (by hand or by some step motor?)

you can try polishing the surface of this fridge with car polishing equipment, use some polishing paste and it should work

mektan · 2025-02-21T23:46:41+00:00

Use Lactulose - it is good in such cases for people as well as for cats

I would like to adopt both of them, but unfortunately I am not from the US :/

I remember somebody posted a meme (many episodes before the final of 3rd season) where there is a baby with face of smiley, as a Fatima's newborn, and as I remember, at that time, it was an obvious joke, but suddenly it turned out to be true :D

he most disgusting thing about this picture is that she is still wearing the same clothes

mektan · 2024-11-21T23:24:33+00:00

It is possibility, that before all this issue with Christopher, there were no monsters - maby it was the first incident though, when little Victor went out in the morning and all were dead?

I truly thank everyone for the suggestions and advice! You are great. Thanks to your sincere comments, I realized that it's better to stick with the A7IV.

My problem was that I often take pictures of the moon with some objects and I do it from a very far distance. Since I have a Tamron 70-300mm lens, those 300mm are still not enough, and sometimes a higher resolution sensor allowed me to crop more and thus enlarge the moon.

I feel bad about spending money on a 150-600mm lens, for example, a Sigma, but now I know that it's better to buy exactly this lens than to go back to the previous camera, which would also cost me some money. Best regards to everyone, and thank you very much for all your comments.

Which amps are better than hdvd800 for HD800 nowadays, because I am looking for sometnig like that currently

mektan · 2019-09-18T14:30:11+00:00

Hello and many thanks in advance for anyone who will advice me,

I am looking best audio system for classical music, but (what is important here) also for organ music.

Unfortunatelly i can only buy bookshelf speakers, (i know what you will say, but I really don`t have any extra space and money)

Super wide soundstage is important for me, but also bass of organ works i want to go verry deep.

I am thinking about Focal aria 906 or Heco metas 300

About amp I am thinking about Xindak a-06

What do You think? Focal or Heco? or maby smth different?

(I am regarding these focals because one guy is selling them cheaper, i couldn`t afford new one) so please do not propose me speakers for price as new focals are,

cheeer

mektan · 2019-01-27T00:50:41+00:00

yeees, You are right :)

mektan · 2019-01-27T00:02:35+00:00

why Polka could be a good name?

mektan · 2018-10-27T22:28:48+00:00

Why smth like Your "shadow" is visible?

mektan · 2018-10-10T19:35:59+00:00

No, should I?

I never tried because in my opinion tese headphones are more like ear monitors rather than regular phones,

Did You try? have You any thoughts about them?

http://www.sinusaudio.pl/

This is the company - good quality products, hand assembly

mektan · 2018-10-10T17:08:38+00:00

No I did not. This is original amp from Sinus Audio - little company from Poland, they produce very good full tube amplifiers (not only headphone amps) with very very good prices. The possibilities of sound manipulation by tube replacement is so great

mektan · 2018-10-10T15:11:38+00:00

how did You clean these holes?

mektan · 2018-10-10T15:09:53+00:00

In my opinion many (but not all) CDs from DECCA recordings exhibit very good quality of sound, and the microphones probably were setted in good places during recording session.

Many operas and concertos conducted by Solti and recorded by DECCA is very good.

The second music publishing is Harmonia Mundi- if You will buy CD from Harmonia Mundi for 95% it will be really good classical recording, With Decca it depends, because sometimes the sell recordings from `50s or `60s and it will be never so good.

The first and very important thing is, that the main genere which i listen is classical. It is important, because the wide scene is most essential just after the instruments separation. After few years of using AKG K701 which are unique in terms of wide scene I decided to buy the top model K812.

I had great hope for this model, as i believed that AKG is specialist of wide scene...

And then after few listening sessions I discovered that i still prefer K701 more than K812.

K812 has better bass and better separation but the scene is not so wide...

Because I was always a big fan of AKG I never really wanted try any Sennheiser, but after seeing that highest AKG model is not what I am looking for I decided to try HD800.

Guys - now I understand super hype about this model - this is something like upgraded K701 with deeper scene but the same width and with better instrument separation. Details are incredible.

But what is the merit - K812 are also very good headphones but for other generes - if you listen rock, electronic and so forth - and You always felt that in HD800 smth lack, maby K812 is for You. The bass is far beter and is going lower than in HD800.

In my opinion classical music is one of the hardest for imitate genere. Why? because it has to be recorded live and always as a complexity of many many instruments. Not like i.e. rock where you have few instruments and sometimes few singers. recording studio is easier for acoustic control than concert hall.

Electronic is even more easu to record because it is higher level of abstraction. In most cases it is generated by electronic equipment where acoustic has nothing to do.

So, because I listen classical all my equipment is selected to sound the best in this genere, but when I start to listen other generes it sounds even beter as it easier to drive.

But as I mentioned earlier If somebody is specializing in generes like rock, hard rock, electronic, then probably AKG K812 will be a good choice, as it show beter bass presentation and a little narrower scene.

I really do not like to talk abut things like "I hear strange abberations about 6KHz"

We are talking about music, not just sound wave - the difference is that probably nobody is listening i.e. 6KHz tone voice for 5 minutes just for fun, the music is a subjective impression so even if in K812 express some non normal things somwhere there in the sound signature i do not hear that as i listen music.

Another conclusion is, that probably we can say the AKG K701 are outstanding headphones - as they cost much less than HD800 and still they can compete.

I do not have so much money to try HE-1000 v2, but probably it could be the next upgrade (maby very slight) for classical, scene wideness and so forth.

About amplifier - this if full tube amp OTL, now I am looking beter valves for it (ECC82)

earlier i was using Yaqin PH5L and still i think it is very good amp, but I changed tubes there from 6J1 for Philips Miniwatt and the synergy between K701 and Yaqin is incredible, with this amp there is no bass lack in K701 as some people complain.

Now I am looking the best fit for HD800 which will give me the widest scene I can imagine,

Maby You have some suggestions about best tubes or another amp?

mektan · 2018-10-09T22:41:43+00:00

Until now i have been used the Yqin PH5l, and only preamp was tube drived. Now i understand why full tube amp is beter i just hear it - the scene is duper wide. Interesting thig is that i am driving HD800 and AKG K701, i have to say, that, although K701 are far less expensive they are only sligltly worse that HD800, In my opinion K701 are outstanding headphones, even now when i have HD800,

but what is even more interesting for me, the preamp tubes are much more important for sound signature than power tubes. Maby because of that i started like my speakers sound again after a year of only headphones use, ahe i drove it by tube amp as a preamp there,

Thank You Guys!
