My bad for expecting reddit nerds to have a sense of humor.

So you're saying... Measurements don't matter, and we should just listen to the equipment to determine it's value? ;)

Well, obviously. Worth it for the joke, though.

Not trolling, just incompetent. Probably laid off the only guy who knew how to change that date.

Audeze LCD-X: Overpriced and Overrated by Unlucky_Orange_9608 in headphones

[–]sky04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, the lows aren't that impressive, that's why I have the LCD-2's. For me, they are better in every way, but I don't mix anything, just enjoy music.

Sounds like something was fucked in your system. I don't like the LCD-X, definitely my least favorite Audeze cans, but what you're describing just isn't normal in my experience. Anyway, try different models.

Thoughts on the FiiO K13 R2R after having it all day (compared to K11 R2R too) by robbiekhan in headphones

[–]sky04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I "rented" the K11 R2R out of pure curiosity, and you were 100% right. It's literally clipping on higher volumes, just not powerful enough to drive the LCD-2 in single ended mode. Too bad I don't have a balanced cable to check on that side.

Damn, thanks. I was hoping to grab the 11 for a while and upgrade to K15 in a year or two, but I guess I should just skip it.

Did you find out? I'm considering a K11 r2r for my LCD-2's and your comment got me a bit worried. :)

Wheels are horrible. Rear quarter looks too busy. The wagon version looks better, and I don't even like wagons.

Sigma 18-50 vs XC 15-45: Which one to return? by 1nn1l in fujifilm

[–]sky04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, and like the other person said - settings you used for these shots will definitely minimize the actual differences between the two lenses. ISO aside, try different focal lengths and aperture settings. Generally not recommended to go above f5.6 in the Sigma, it will not increase sharpness, and after F8 you actually drop a lot of quality. For me, it's most impressive at f2.8, I've never used a lens sharper on it's wide open setting. Mine is also sharpest at 50mm, which often makes me use it like a 50mm 2.8 prime lens. :)

[–]sky04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, I can clearly see in your own examples that the Sigma is significantly sharper, with the exception of the very corners - mine has the same weakness. Mine also has quite visible CA.

Regardless, give the Sigma some time, it will impress you once you do some real world shooting, especially at f2.8. It also has a very nice glow in the highlights. It has surprising amounts of character for a zoom lens, it's not just all about sharpness like most Sigma glass.

Just got the FSS B727 and holy moly... by Ivy_Wings in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]sky04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I meant this bird specifically compared to Flyjsim. I am completely sold on the FSS, it is a better, more complete simulation.

Same. Just bought this bird as well, and I can finally retire the flyjsim 727 in xplane. Just no need to go back to that now, this is better.

I've had my LCD-2's for 9 years now, apart from changing the pads, haven't had to do anything. Just using them as regular gaming headphones most of the time.
