Bad Guy Good Audio Rankings and stuff (under construction) (Part 1)

You don’t have to mention sound, don’t skimp on purity though. Just make a really nice looking, well thought out
& supple cable (modular?) with your branding on :slight_smile: I think it could be dope if done right!

Idk I just got the idea since the SA6 Ultra had a Z review logo on it and that cable is also exclusive to the Ultra, it felt REALLY nice that cable, best I ever had.

Look like a boss and sound like one.

Nice switch from red to black case for the black and blue beauties

But do the differences make it worth buying if you have OG?

1 nit pick would be…wish that mini xlr came with it.
It likes juice.
I was using 3.5 included but have since gone back to the mini xlr cable i have (in pic)

True, would have been nice to see either 4.4mm or XLR for having the option right away.
Are they Hifiman or Audeze sounding?

1 Like

It does have 4.4 :v:
Oh…Hifiman
Audeze all need EQ for me. Up to LCD 4 anyway have not tried 5 yet

Well that is a start then with the 4.4mm.
So would be take on a Ananda or Arya even?

I’m not very familiar with Ananda but this is on the same branch of the tree as Arya. Energetic, Bass is enough almost always moreso w/bass guitars and drums. It treats the lowest of the 3 hits on kill Jill at 38Hz about same as Arya.

And this one is ready for prime time, compared to the other Moondrop headphone?

Cause Moondrop been slacking on their last few drops

I wish my hifiman He6sev2 was built this good.
Yeah, this isn’t the plastic void…isn’t priced like it but definitely would not be mistaken for a kids toy.

I was contemplating getting the Venus but wanted to have a review of it before seriously considering it. Looking forward to more information about it. How is the staging and imaging for you?

That’s why I’m at a 99% satisfaction level with your recs. Nothing is ever 100% with anything, although I’ve never been disappointed with your recs.

I know you listen to some of the same stuff i listen to. Geto boys and Scarface is some of the hardest bass to get right for iems for some reason imho. This is where bad ba bass really shows it’s weakness. Like u18s bass can sound good on a cardi b track but play it on Scarface big boy status it sounds anemic.

By the way, this bass line sounds bad on U18s but phenomenal on mest mk2 with spiral dot tips, ex800st and other good dynamics. U might want to add this to your bass tracks. It’s pretty unique and reveals winners vs losers IMHO.

To me forward vocals means that they seem more prominent compared to the music in the mix.

Very true. Rap a Lot record producers were doing such different beats I have to adjust my subwoofer x/over lower to really get the 5th Ward Houston gang punching while a higher setting is fine for Death row, No Limit and most N.Y. stuff.

That was primarily n.o. Joe and Scarface doing the production.

Lady I have known 10 years.
Hands me a phone with translated text (She is Japanese and does not speak English)
The text says she has Cancer and will be getting chemo and stepping down from her position supporting me.
Looked like she was gonna cry, I felt like i might drop a tear.
I was going to reach out and give her a big hug but didn’t. I don’t do that.
A million missed moments in my life. Now a million and 1.

Aspergers is great in this hobby, for the gear, getting along with folks i never met is …don’t care.
The folks i do care about…damn i fuck that up all the time.
My fiance got in the gates and gets the love and caring but that’s a single human on the planet.

If you know anyone with this condition, cut em some social slack.
They don’t mean no harm or insult. It’s just so hard wired no moment however huge can get over it.
