[REVIEW] Superlux HD381F --- Bargain Bin Bliss
Detail-wise, it's not going to be much better. It used to be my favorite dynamic IEM for a really long time, but it's a ticking time bomb in terms of build quality. If you want much more detail, maybe you should look at the Hifiman x Massdrop RE-00.- bangengeman

[REVIEW] Superlux HD381F --- Bargain Bin Bliss
I hated the Piston hybrids. Too grainy and dark. The Piston 3 however, I like as much as the 381F. The Superlux is flatter overall, while the Piston 3 is quite V shaped. If you can still get these, then go for it. No pair of mine lasted a year. The Piston 3, however is still going strong for me...- bangengeman

Fostex new RP headphones - T50RPmk3, T40RPmk3 and T20RPmk3
You mentioned that you have the Krell clone amp. How's it pairing so far with your T50MK3s so far? And how is it doing in general?- bangengeman

XDuoo XD-05 Portable Dac/Amp Introduction - Impressions
Heals, a couple of things: 1. How's the sound stage and separation? 2. Does the bass boost push the sub bass well? Other than those two, not much I can think of. Just a matter of hearing it and making sure it's "right". Also, I got to check the Aurem Fidelity templates that airwyn...- bangengeman

XDuoo XD-05 Portable Dac/Amp Introduction - Impressions
I'm planning to get this to be paired with a Fostex T50rp3. Pretty much everything I've read has made me come back to this amp here. Unfortunately I don't really like making blind purchases. Anyone in the Philippines who might be willing to let me try the Xduoo xd-05 for a while?- bangengeman

NBA Playoffs!
Even video game Dirk can't pull off what real Dirk did earlier. I'm in awe. If it's any consolation to those who are rooting for OKC, it took a trancendent night from Dirk, a hot streak by JJ, an awful night by Westbrook, and they lost by *just* 9, and kept it close throughout. Not to take...- bangengeman

NBA Playoffs!
Just a quick info, in case some may not know: Max salary as per the current CBA is estimated to be ~1/3 of the salary cap per team. So if the cap is at $60M (for argument and easy computations sake), the max a team can offer any free agent is ~$20M. Various restrictions/exemptions apply, but...- bangengeman

NBA Playoffs!
Quote: INSTANT CLASSIC! Thank you Grizzlies. You gave OKC a hard time, and you guys are no longer as under the radar now. I'm surprised the Bulls gave the Heat some serious ass-whooping. I was expecting something closer, maybe the next few games will give us that. Heat coming...- bangengeman

NBA Playoffs!
The bad guys have won. Pencil them in for the finals. No way the Bulls beat them. The "get out of Derrick Rose's way" offense has to have a limit, right? Big ups to Rajon Rondo. Since seeing the injury, I've been shaking my head wondering how the heck he sucks it up.- bangengeman

Android 3.1 will support USB Host mode... DAC's?
Nokia N8 and C7 (and I think all other Symbian ^3 devices) support acting as a USB host. Now if they support DACs, I cannot confirm. Can somebody help check please? What I'm more curious is if there is a way to get the Mini HDMI output of some devices (LG 2X, the new Xperia phones, etc)...- bangengeman

NBA Playoffs!
Quote: None taken. Rondo's playing in Game 4. I just hope it's not as bad as I think it should have been. As a basketball fan, more games = more fun for you, me and everyone who's chimed in on this thread. And what's this thing about Gasol, his GF, Kobe's wife thing going on? Why...- bangengeman

NBA Playoffs!
Quote: My main deal with them really is the consistency. Down 0-2 and with the crown behind them, Boston HAD to play with some sense of urgency. But Rondo just amazes me. The one player in the NBA who can dominate both sides of the ball without scoring. Not even Ben Wallace or Rodman...- bangengeman

NBA Playoffs!
Now you see why I keep saying to stay away from betting on Boston. Down 0-2, their catalyst, point guard and arguably their best player scores just 6pts and goes down with a dislocated elbow. And they win.- bangengeman
