The 7Hz legatos inner chamber was already pretty similar but that didn’t seem to result in anything more meaningful from that
One problem we have, as consumers on the whole, is that we don’t just be satisfied with our gear.
Most people in the hobby, even the experienced people, don’t plot out what their goals are. Do you wanna spend $500 this year? Do you want to collect transducer types? Do you want different tunings for mood or use case?
Nah, most people jump from hype train to hype train because someone said this is the new hotness. In reality, most sets are sidegrades to each other, relative to use case, preference, comfort and convenience, and budget.
People gotta stop chasing and actually decide what they want, if they want to see things change in a meaningful way.
We vote with our wallets, so you have to actually put thought into what you’re buying

Goes for most hobbies realy. Its what drives capitalism.
Having said that, new material and driver tech can reap huge improvements and the changes we have seen over just the last few years would suggest keeping up with the latest and greatest can be a worth while persuit.
Personally im trying to ignore FOMO cos im very happy with what i have and probably wont buy a new iem untill solid state MEMS drivers appear as the next big thing and only then if i think it can improve on what i have but each to their own.
All hobbies are rabbit holes to fall down, just nudge the door open and take a look

Thanks. Online speeches can come across as cheap platitudes but real test comes everyday in our own lives. Who’s got it in them to take a deep look at what’s staring back in the mirror… - It ain’t all pretty…I know that and don’t always get it right with myself and the people I care about. Spews over in business no doubt. What’s the truth of the matter? where’s the fine line I didn’t see…
I only meant to make an account to thank hbb and twaddle off but truth be told I don’t come across many audio people. It’s been interesting to see I share personality traits with some others I see around here such as @toecutter. I show my friends and family iem’s, i try to talk about music but I have found it’s not a priority for most people. Actually no one i grew up with. Thought it was just me being weird for a long time. Getting obsessive about the details, speaking up at work when you see things…Personally I’ve found it has come with a heavy cost and I’m guessing it may have for some of you.
Ahh I just became that tmi guy who bears his soul out online. So be it. Have a good day all the same

Some people say the LM won’t be topped in 2024, but nothing will top the universal truth in this commentary, mark my words. Lots of food for thought here…

I wear my heart on my sleeve and get offended way too easily but communication is important to me…so be it

I personally can’t justify buying a new flagship set until a full-range xMEMs (Cypress) IEM comes to market for me to try. A tweeter off of a $150 set (Ace 2) smoking everything I’ve tried in the kilobuck range solely for treble detail still boggles the hell out of me. Too bad the rest of the TWS IEM is subpar.
Should mention I’m a bit of a detail-head, so not everyone is going to prioritize that aspect.

Last Action Hero never gets the respect that it deserves, such a great send up of the genre and cliches while also being a complete love letter to film as a medium.
Benedict is an all-time villain, too.

Since childhood, I have liked everything related to music, instruments, headphones, speakers, audio players…When I was a teenager, I went shopping and just looked at the equipment but couldn’t afford it…
For me, the goal is to make community headphones, to take into account not only my interests but also people’s opinions.

“Two, how exactly are you going to snap your fingers, after I rip off both of your thumbs?”
I read your words and recognize myself in them. You’re not the only one like that bro, we’re with you! the main thing is not to consider yourself strange!

Chris laying down the law from part 1
I dunno?
You got kids?
You wanna leave that box with that on a table that anyone might see including a kid
You in the audio hobby to watch a company post a pic of a drawn girl with semen all over her ass?
I’m not there to say what the fuck and @jude and the mods cuz I was the guy who planted myself in TRINITY threads @jude and @joe in posts where the got ripped off $280 or more and nobody was helping …and nobody ever did.
I did not get banned for the reasons claimed i got banned for calling out jude in public and in DM cuz his glossing over of clear fraud was incredible.
TRINITY ripped off about $87,000 under Headfi banner. Cuz folks were scared to speak up and get banned.
Fuck Jude, Fuck the sponsors
Fuck Moondrop and a soft porn rape pic that Headfi could care less about.
I teach young girls to grab the world by the throat and break that glass ceiling in Japan everyday as my job

Was wondering - I mean it doesn’t explain a lot but by any chance is it poor english, or a miss translation?
Chris’s retort:
No the CEO Herbert (iirc) is a freak according to his own friends
Me:
That’s what I heard…Herbert and Z should get some seriously needed counseling
Edit…wanted to quote the whole speech because I didn’t want it to be taken out of context and that this anime example is tame by comparison

I’m well aware of how easy it is for me to rattle off lines like that when there’s nothing to lose. I admire your effort to dream and try as I know it is journey that will entail loneliness and frustrations. Movie’s such as ‘dead poet’s society’ and ‘gattaca’ have reminded me of the human spirit and to get back up with what strength remains in me. Rather than prattle on, I’ll share some words that I hope bring you courage and comfort.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” - Theodore Roosevelt
The struggle is indeed real brother and from the bottom of my heart I wish you good luck in your ambitions. Be bold as you go into the fray…
Theodore was a great man…reminds me of Hemingway
“speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far”…Teddy
