What they failed to mention is that Duralumin has a poor corrosion resistance.
Well, I’m sure there are some welders, or people who work with sheet metal, know more about aluminum than me, but to use Duralumin is pretty suspect to me.
Idk, it could just be some marketing ploy for all I know.
Enjoy the trip. Just make sure your wallet can handle it. I have to admit, once you’re at Mest level, it becomes more difficult to be interested in attaining new gear. This can be a good or bad thing depending on the motivation of your hobby.
How do you control you volume output to 77dbs? Want to grab something to do some tests;
Do you still rec xd-05 or do you think there are better options out there, atm? Im looking into it (maybe the balanced one) and just found that you have this video on it
A while earlier, some of us were posting YouTube videos and stuff to see how far our hearing extends, but it’s so much nicer to be able to choose specific frequencies to explore the limits of what I can hear. (It would be a stretch to say that I can /hear/ 16.5k, but I can /feel/ it enough to still be able to tell when the tone is and isn’t playing.)
I was watching DMS’ review for the Arias, and he whipped out something called the iFi IEMatch.
Apparently, it reduces the sensitivity of IEMs (and headphones I would assume), and lets you drive at higher volume.
I have a JDS Labs EL 2 Amp, and there is a sweet spot between 6 o’clock and 7 o’clock I have to be in for all of my sets (bar the Tin P2 and the HD 6XX). If I go too close to 6 o’clock, I have a channel imbalance where my right ear has less volume than my left. If I go near 7 o’clock, the volume is too loud for me.
I feel like the IEMatch can solve this problem, and let me get closer to 7 o’clock. That way, I can avoid channel imbalance, and enjoy more out of my amp. However, I’m not sure if this is the proper solution, so I would like some feedback.
Handy little thing. IMO it’s worth it over the EarBuddy. The build quality of the EarBuddy is questionable, the shielding breaks easily at the base of the connector.
