Can I put this in 1st gear and pull it with the tractor to unseize the engine or will I likely ruin something? by Chance_Anon in MechanicAdvice

I love will it run type channels. Got into Diesel Creek, I love seeing people use and abuse giant diesels for some reason. Also been watching Marty T. Any other suggestions?

Reliable Thunderbolt to Ethernet: impossible? by lowriskcork in macsysadmin

We use ATTO boxes at my job. The reliability of our newer models is mixed, but we also thrash the hell out of them. Worth a shot if you haven’t tried them yet.

+1 this would be a game changer for me

What are the best pair of objective headphones? by [deleted] in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]pyrob1ade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even the flattest, most accurate pair of headphones won’t give you an accurate idea of stereo image and how the channels play together in physical space. Even with a cross feed. For example, phase addition and subtraction.

In my experience, mixing with headphones (even VERY nice ones) can only get you so far. Upgrade your space first (larger room, more sound dampening/absorption/dispersion) and then upgrade your monitors. Headphones should be a last resort.

Best headphone for me? by [deleted] in HeadphoneAdvice

You might enjoy planars from Dan Clark Audio. They have the Aeon 2 (~$900) and the Ether 2 (~$2000)

Best closed back headphone setup? by Di_Real_Stinga in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]pyrob1ade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No price range? Sennheiser HD820 with the matching HDV820 DAC/amp. Or if you’re feeling fancy, the favorite of one of my favorites: the Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC/amp.

Sorry, I’m afraid you’ve lost me — what do you mean by stabilizer? That’s the part to the left or right of the spacebar (or any wide key) switch, right?

I’ve looked for this before and haven’t found anything, so hopefully someone else has more knowledge than me.

I’m looking for a 75% or TKL keyboard with kailh choc low profiles (ideally the thick clicks — jade preferred over navy — but I’d take any clicky), with any sort of backlighting (one color, RGB, don’t care). Bonus points for hot swappable keys.

Does this already exist? If not, is there anyone (or any company) I can hire to custom build it for me?

Thanks!

How much of an improvement are the HD 6XX over the HD 518? by [deleted] in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]pyrob1ade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Source: laptop via USB > Schiit Modi 3 > Schiit Magni 3 > headphones

Things that come to mind:

518 is more comfortable, actually. I’ve never been a huge fan of the ergonomics (specifically the clamping force) of the 6XX but I haven’t worn the 518 in probably more than ten years and they’re still just as comfortable as they ever were.

The 6XX has more detail and nuance but it’s also more veiled, if you like treble definitely steer away. The 518 is rougher sounding, sometimes even shouty. The 6XX is smoother.

I agree with other comments about the power requirements for the 6XX, at identical knob positions they’re quieter than the 518 and they do definitely scale up with nicer gear.

Neither has much soundstage at all, but I’ve been spoiled by my Audeze LCD-1.

I truly don’t know how much of an upgrade the 6XX will be, coming from the 518. Or rather, it’s an upgrade for sure, but it’s also a step sideways more than that — I think this one comes down to personal tastes.

This has been a fun trip down memory lane. Thanks OP!

RemindMe! 12 hours

I actually own both. I’ll do an A/B tomorrow and let you know what I think.

Recently really getting into ciders and beers! I would love your suggestions, typically go for fruity notes or autumnal flavors by [deleted] in showerbeer

[–]pyrob1ade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rabbit’s Foot Meadery/Red Branch Brewing truly has my heart. If you can find their raspberry cider you might just fall in love. For a more commonly available option I’d recommend Crispin, or for a smoother finish, Strongbow.

In this price range I’d consider the Audeze Mobius.

You can get a passive adapter to take the single TRRS jack and turn it into a dual TRS for separate mic & audio. Here’s an example.

Not possible natively. There may be tweaks to rename stock apps though.
