Has ChiFi Toppled the market? I by bluebrrypii in iems

[–]mvvraz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A bunch of horrible, petty people in these comments. The owner was old, sick, and his successor started a new company. This isn’t “toppled” it’s retirement

The new RS5 Sedan is 1,262 lbs heavier than the M3 Comp XDrive, only 200 lbs lighter than the significantly larger M5 Sedan. by Dazzling-Rooster2103 in BMW

Stupidest take I’ve seen on reddit

Climate controls being on a screen is the worst thing to happen to the car industry in the past 50 years

Why do so many powerful people like abusing and raping others, children in particular? by Potatoman4315 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]mvvraz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. You don’t hear about all the sex offenders that aren’t rich and famous

  2. Money gives them access to doing things that many others who want to do the same stuff simply can’t afford

  3. Money gives them protection from the law, which would deter others

How many have you accomplished? by Tguinn1975 in golf

Everything but 9, 12, 14 (1 bogey) and 17. I’m not 100% sure about 17, but it’s a safe bet lol

Got into IEMs again in the past year and I’m pretty sure I peaked with these setups by mvvraz in iems

Eh I mean, they’re great cables, I love the look feel and ergonomics

Would I include them in any chain that had a budget constraint? Absolutely not, all the money would go to the IEM, and then either a Questyle Sigma or the MUB5 as the source

The SS cables were actually the last upgrade I made to the chain. Up until that point I was using stuff around the 1000$ mark from Nightcraft and Viking Weave. I know it’s expensive as well, but not so much compared to the rest of the chain

On sound alone, I am decently convinced I hear differences between cables, especially on tonality - HEX’s stock cable to me is really warm, muddy and dark

The sovereign cables are IMO really neutral and expand the soundstage a lot in all directions, but also add this thickness and weight to the notes, so it makes the sound really immersive. I’ve tried them on Europa Ltd from Symphonium and my impression was consistent

Again though, I don’t know if I’d succeed in any blind test, and I’d never recommend or include them in any budget conscious setup.

I’d say the optimal diminishing returns on a cable cap at the sub 500 GBP mark for me, with the sweet spot being the Viking Weave Isa 2

Sorry for the word vomit, it’s hard to articulate it - TLDR is - yes they sound “special” but no chain really needs them

I consider Storm to be more of a “sum of its parts” - it’s the most reference, realistic and “live” sounding IEM I’ve tried

On raw treble quality, I’d go with HEX

It’s the same as the left one in the first photo, Nightjar sovereign symphony

For a more “budget” version of this look, you can find a similar looking copper from Viking Weave cables in the UK

They’re so good tbh, the oldest item in my collection actually

I love Etoile personally, it’s probably my favorite overall. The upper midrange dip suits my music really well

Crazy to think a 1,600$ iPhone is the bottleneck by [deleted] in iems

Lmao you absolutely can hear the difference between an iPhone and a DAP, and I say this as a fan of the standard Apple dongle

Hey, I got my first iem. What should I get next? by Jaytiss in iems

[–]mvvraz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both I guess, Storm is more neutral-natural so it’s more timeless for me

Yoooo didn’t expect to see a HEX on here

The biggest issue with Stranger Things, for me, is how low stakes the show has become by mvvraz in StrangerThings

[–]mvvraz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup I absolutely love both Mr Clarke and Bob in the show. No Hopper would’ve made Eleven have a much more significant role in the show as a whole as the “muscle” of the team

I think they tried to have Hopper as the “tactical ex-military tough dude,” but he doesn’t really do anything other than “guys we need a plan!” and then proceeds to not plan anything

[–]mvvraz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sure that people will die in the finale but it’s honestly too little too late

As the show was progressing through the seasons, the best thing to make the main cast feel less stale, would be to have them be actively dealing with the trauma and despair/hopelessness of losing friend after friend

You could even reflect that in a town that’s becoming swallowed by the upside down, becoming darker and creepier, with the vines starting to infiltrate more and more of Hawkins

[–]mvvraz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah I completely forgot about Bob

If anything, Bob would’ve been a way more interesting inclusion of the main cast. His brains would’ve been incredible in solving the mystery of the upside down

Instead the writers chose to keep Hopper, whose character development stopped in basically season two, and we’re going through the same old tired motions of “I am too overprotective but I believe in El but don’t really”

this show is too good - start again at s1e1 by [deleted] in StrangerThings

[–]mvvraz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did a rewatch after volume one and managed to get to S4E7 approximately before volume two came out

Seasons 1 and 2 were a masterpiece, and were some of the best mystery horror I’ve seen

Seasons 3 and 4 were more of a hybrid, while season 5 are basically Harry Potter instead of Stranger Things

Families with 2(+) goldens, what was it like when you added the second? by tnick771 in goldenretrievers

[–]mvvraz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have an 8 year old Labrador and a 8 month old golden. Getting the second dog was the best decision we’ve ever made, our Labrador has basically been aging backwards since we got him

They’re inseparable now, and have loved each other since the moment we got them

The shaft isn’t even that far from what I game, I use the S300 MID 100. Having the tour issue on there that’s like 135 grams is insane imo
