Spotify → E10K → Liquid Spark → DT880 250 Ohm Chrome Edition

I butchered the DT880’s a bit while modding, and the new driver Beyerdynamic send me is quite different from the one that was there (-15db no less), so I have channel imbalance. However with setting the channel balance still make these very enjoyable. Still thinking about ordering a new driver from Beyerdynamic and see whether I can fix 'em up properly.

I was surprised how good the video quality is for an almost 50 year old recoring.
But I still prefer the audio qulaity from Qobuz than compressed youtube (obviously).

JFC I’ve tried to scrape this thread for new music ideas… I listened to the previous say 50 youtube links in this thread and found maybe 5 were ok. I have a wide variety of genres and preferences but for some reason I just can’t find much that I like. Especially the EDM, japanese gamer, or pretty much anything recent posted here.

This more more me reflecting upon my issues so don’t take it as an attack on your preferences. Just expressing frustration on finding new music say organically and not via an algo.

Well if use what people are listening to as a proxy then it should be a pretty good discovery tool. I wanted to try the discovery process organically and not through an algo of liked music that I’ve already listened to.

The unusual thread tends to be swedish ska music or chickens pecking keys.

Again I captioned my post with “This more more me reflecting upon my issues so don’t take it as an attack on your preferences. Just expressing frustration on finding new music say organically”

Even if you say that, it still comes off as rude and unnecessary to say, as @Ohmboy mentions this is what people are actively listening to and enjoying, bashing that stuff will come off as rude no matter how you put it, specifically when this is just a general thread, not a music recommendation thread for a specific genre or person. It would be like coming into a food court and then ranting about how you hate various types of food when people are just trying to enjoy their meal lol
