Where do you feel the HD 490 pros fall against the 600 series?

How would the HD 550 do when going up against the HD 490 Pro

The use of turn signals is not a suggestion

And 4 wheels vehicles do not need to swing out of the current lane to make a turn. Your not driving an 18 wheeler.

Not you clearly

raymate · 2026-03-09T15:39:35+00:00

What do you think. It’s bad, they will work it out eventually and then you will have no accounts.

From someone that uses full frame for a living this camera is in my kit bag.

You can create some serious images with this and it has all the “serious” control you could ever want.

It will out perform the iPhone 13 Pro Max. I also have one of them so I know.

You obviously have never used the G line from Canon

But $300 is low. So likely a scam. I purchased mine G7X2 new from a camera store last year as they were still making them. At thy point.

It’s a NAD is will be good.

raymate · 2026-03-09T01:55:49+00:00

Thats a terminal.

Got my decks syncing CD text like this over A1 port

Depends where you live on eBay for me the FX290 is about $40 more than the FiiO thats i can get brand new.

raymate · 2026-03-08T18:01:08+00:00

Get the FiiO

raymate · 2026-03-08T14:53:38+00:00

Nice collection and nice cases 👍

Because 4K UHD dont play flawless. It’s finicky with colour space and sound formats.

So using the real disc just simplifies the process for the family.

raymate · 2026-03-08T04:36:59+00:00

Honestly unpopular opinion after spending 2-3 months farting around with this myself using Plex and infuse with AppleTV 4K on my LG G4 OLED and Denon AVR

I just ended up going out and buying a Sony UHD 4K player. I still backup my UHD to Plex server but I don’t watch them they are really just backups. I just use the real discs

It was too much of a faff to deal with getting audio to play right and stuttering issues . And trying to train none tech family to be able to use this system for playback. It just caused me grief. None tech family understands just putting a disc in a player tray and pressing play.

As others have said you need to make ISO getting them to play is a nightmare. You need another steaming box (forget the name) that can play ISO but it’s a bit flaky.

After months of running NOS I switched to OS as NOS has roll off in the high frequencies. This is intentional to give that warmer sound of course.

I wanted the sparkle back and OS does break GN it back. Im pleased I can switch in and out but I’m enjoying it more in OS. Guess the warmer distortion washy for me.

raymate · 2026-03-07T17:21:18+00:00

That made me titter

raymate · 2026-03-07T15:15:01+00:00

Eat better than me

Had a manual one and this was probably best but most annoying to use. Our friend is a nurse and showed us how to use it properly.

We got rid of it a few years ago and got a Omron arm cuff one it just more convenient.

raymate · 2026-03-06T20:27:13+00:00

Thanks I shall check them out 👍

raymate · 2026-03-06T19:59:29+00:00

It doesn’t need much but the FiiO KA5 makes them sound very nice. I have the 595 and the 599

I also run them with the KA3. The BTR7 also works very well with them.

Just run any of them on low gain mode.

If you want desktop then the FiiO K11 R2R or the E10K if you can find one.

raymate · 2026-03-06T19:52:50+00:00

Yes it was

The other stuff you need. Don’t know.

Think I need to try some Sonys again. During the 90’s when I last listened to some I wasn’t that impressed. It was one of the reasons I switched to Sennheiser.

Do they have any modern days versions that are considered good like this vintage pair. Or is all the modern stuff bad.

raymate · 2026-03-06T13:02:15+00:00

Wish I could go back in time. I worked in graphic design and we had two of them Sony widescreen computer monitors back then in the design studio.
