Japanese buying power in dollar is literally lower middle class nearly poverty
$2,300 a month? I think folks image of Japan is based on wild stories from the 1980’s when they were buying Times square and big chunks in Hawaii. Those days are long long gone

This dip at 10 kHz happens on a lot of 1DD. I personally don’t like how it makes item sound. A lot of the Moondrop 1DD have that. Now, QKZ x HBB is one exception I’ve found.

Happy for sure 
but our out goings are small, my partner works too and her kids are all grown up and boat life is kinda simple for us…we really don’t socialise much out of the family circle…being next to and living close to nature, cutting logs, dragging our tools/shopping/supplies down a wet and muddy towpath are what helps us keep things real # summer is better

Besides being a Father my favorite time was being broke and sleeping on the beach. It was the free est 4 months of my life. Bob Dylan was right. When you have nothing…you have nothing to lose.
Money is never gonna help solve inner problems. We just need to look at Diddy or an array of rich folks who are morally bankrupt.
