Finally listening to the set Kendrick Lamar is using to monitor on tour playing same tracks as his tour. Only lossy files I own. Hope for some flac of this soon though
Extremely curious to hear what your thoughts are on that set!
This one falls square into the ‘music’ part of the thread. Came across this:
Never knew Mick Mars used that one on Dr. Feelgood (never knew he owned it to begin with tbh). Really wonder what would lead someone to part with such a piece of rock history…
I really love the headstock design on those Kramers. Instantly recognisable.
Slo mo cam / setting being put to good use I see.
Summer is hot
That’s the kind of deja vu that we can all do without. I had noticed that all the available listings were perpetual preorders. That’s never a good thing but at this price that’s even more inexcusable. Keeping my fingers that it’ll sort itself out sooner rather than later.
It’s already on the move.
Guess just the communication can use a bump but otherwise…lets fucking GO!!!
Have been waiting a long ass time
shoo shoo shoo
Very stoked
That’s good to hear! That’ll definitely be one of the most interesting reviews this year, especially with their ‘subwoofer’ claim.
I can’t find that on Elise or Bloom. Was that on their Insta or something?
That’s a nice potential bit of awesomeness
It’s right next to the part that says "Asteria’s sound’. They might have updated that part.
PS This is directly from Elise’s listing, saves some time:
With our uncompromising approach to tuning, Asteria aims to deliver meticulous tonal balance from one end of the frequency spectrum to the other. Aiming for an U-shaped and balanced tonality, we build up from a deep, rumbling, controlled, and textured bass with a visceral punch and zero bleed into the mids. Imagine having two subwoofers in front of you,** that is what we hope to emulate with the Asteria.
Biggest clown show in the hobby.
Like KZ but way worse and much more expensive.
Context.
After that sonic shitshow that was DEUCE they offered a 70% discount on a GMAE when they make them. I didn’t ask it was offered. I can flip that for charity like Symphonium adio Meteor or several other sets.
Never happened.
Why?
Cuz…they…just…decided to not do it and not tell me
They make and sell em now. But fuck keeping your word.
Atleast I am not that guy in Kazakhstan
I realized GMAE was live because of our 7th acoustic talk and surfing Elise.
I told my audience I wouldn’t be reviewing anymore Fatfreq because of the story about Dimitry.
They jacked that man for about $15,000 and have not paid to this very day.
That timestamp is mine and Dimitry. This is when I heard the full story because I reached out to ask if it got worked out. The wild proposal to give back part of his money from 2023 was over a year ago.
The fact that they dare write they are open to settling the matter but want him to fix the reputational they incurred because he told the truth is beyond cynical. IIRC they didn’t deliver the goods that were paid for, right?
Bro, I have the whole exchange
Guy bought $15,000 from them in …2023
They were slow (shocked)
They later said he sold to someone in Russia despite FF having an authorized seller
Problem is…that “Authorized seller” didn’t exist in 2023 in Russia which is WHY a dude in Russia is buying from Khaz.
They basically made up a story to not pay back 15,000 USD.
They wanted to give him 80 cents on the dollar if he wrote an apology and deleted any and all mentions of Fatfreq.
There is no contract stating any such penalty and btw…are you fucking KIDDING ME?
Pay the guy back his money and don’t do business with him.
Give that man his fucking money
It amazes me that there are still people willing to sell FF sets. I always say: if a company is willing to eff someone else over, they will sure as hell have no qualms whatsoever about effing you over as well.
Perhaps if there was a simple webpage with the entire chronology of the FF fiasco and blatant unethical business practices we could all post the link to inform others so they know what they are accepting as a possible outcome if they choose to purchase from FF. A BBB for IEM makes if you will.
The word should be spread more widely than just here.
