Sorry, I meant only to link the thread

pappaza · September 17, 2021, 4:13pm

haha no problem

@nymz what track is good to test female vocals?

Rainlynd · September 17, 2021, 4:29pm

Listen to your favorite female singer.

For me I use J-pop songs tho.

nymz · September 17, 2021, 4:34pm

I usually test with tracks that I’m familiar with:

Agnes Obel - Curse
Agnes Obel - Riverside
London Grammar - Metal and Dust
Lana Del Rey - Carmen (whole album really)
Adele - Daydreamer (whole album really)
Fleetwood Mac - Landslide
Norah Jones - Don’t know why
Norah Jones - Come away with me

etc,etc.

Rainlynd · September 17, 2021, 4:35pm

Yeah testing with your familar tracks is better if you already know what to expect on some songs.

nymz · September 17, 2021, 4:36pm

Yes, because you get used to OCD details. Like when their voice goes thin, shouty, etc.

I like to test female and high stuff with this track. Lots of bleed-edge, ouch territory stuff. If this song gets a little hot for me, that gear is typically fine, but if there’s a little pain then it’s a no-go.

Kevin90gundam · September 17, 2021, 4:38pm

Ok thank you nymz.

nymz · September 17, 2021, 4:39pm

anytime bro.

Kevin90gundam · September 17, 2021, 4:44pm

That is quite a track especially at the 0.46 - 1.17 a lot of different instrument suddenly appeared. The song is better on spotify some details are missing and got jumble up in youtube. Definitely will start listen to this on my set thank you for recomended this.

KeroseneSlickback · September 17, 2021, 4:47pm

Try after 2:50 too. Some lighter higher stuff and high hats.

nymz · September 17, 2021, 4:48pm

Mele on 4 core grey accessories:

Kevin90gundam · September 17, 2021, 4:52pm

The build quality on the housing looks like a much more expensive iem. The black looks stunning for me. Cannot wait for mine to arrive next week.

Rainlynd · September 17, 2021, 4:54pm

Yes, and the fit is top-notch

here’s some female vocals to really put anything to an extreme test. my Mele was shipped this week so hopefully I will be able to abuse them soon. then with monk plus, monk sm, ry4s and 7hz timeless…i went on a mad one

Flatlander3kgt · September 17, 2021, 5:45pm

Ahhh, seems like only yesterday. July '73 in Chicago. Joe Walsh/Barnstorm, Rocky Mountain Way

Think this concert was '77 in Washington DC… Chicago in '73 was a mind-blower.

Waiting on blue/gold for the Mele. Patience yeah patience. Congrats on a successful collaboration!

Check out the talk box at 3:00

Man, if anyone wants goosebumps from good music, listen to Mountains by Hans Zimmer from Interstellar OST: Spotify.

Mele truly brings out the rumble from the organ and the chorus. Starfield just cannot match that sound!

I somehow missed this conversation. However, I’d like to propose an article that convinced me why Hi-Res doesn’t make sense for most of us (if not for everyone).

24/192 Music Downloads …and why they make no sense

Resolution · September 17, 2021, 10:44pm

Totally agree. I can’t make out any difference between 16/24 bit files. Maybe someone can with better ears than mine. I can hear up to around 16000 hz. That’s quite good for someone my age. 48.

I’ve done a lot of testing on this because I was actually hoping 24 bit might be of some value to me. It just eats a whole lot more drive space.

16 bit flac/16 lossless should be perfect for most of us.
