Japanese fast food is my favourite. The problem is of course when you live on the other side of the world its not fast food - it's either " " deconstructed " " in fancy restaurants, utterly butchered or even worse, made fusion cuisine by a non-Japanese chain and still made to pay through the...

Their titanium version had me groaning Well played, intime

I've got a couple of working (tho dead battery of course) MZ-N10's left and I'm wondering what I should do in terms of making sure they continue to work without messing with them too much. Any ideas?

*raises eyebrow* I hope I'm never too old to come to this conclusion...

Assuming I could sell my stash for full market value: The earphones that came with my last Xperia - the MH750 - out of anything with a headphone jack Airpod Pros out of whatever Apple devices I'm keeping If push comes to shove, I really won't miss anything else.

wot a blast from the past, wonder what happened to him also nothing says Christmas like my neighbours having a blazing row and the husband storming out of the house :grimacing::grimacing:

Well happy christmas, holidays and a continued beneficial existence for another 365 days to all ancient farts.

As long as there is a human in the mix, there will always be enough delusion and pretension to override, or integrate that delusion into, advances in signal processing tech. So I think we can safely say that analog will remain with us for quite a long time for example, even if it's cyclic. In...

Don't think anyone with experience of Apple over time wouldn't imagine they would push through stealth updates with any new product update *especially* if they've figured out if something could be made for cheaper.

I'm not sorry - it may have been a ton of money ultimately in the bin but there was the whole experience behind it. Disc players/DAC/clock stacks / home hires streamers, speakers, amps, projectors, receivers, big-ass tv's, you name it... I barely used them even during the peak of the pandemic...

Pretty much all of my *head*phones, and all of my stationary audio / home theatre stuff except for anything directly connected to my PC's. Headphone wise, after losing even more hair during the pandemic in particular and the top of my head now having a much more pubic aesthetic, I just feel...

JAYSUS CHRIST When was this put in, I've been completely oblivious to this - it works for 1st gen as well. Thanks, I can now be less annoyed lol

...of both which nevertheless gets the job more or less done. What really puts the APP over the edge for me compared to any other TWE (or even any *headphone*) as an iOS+some Mac user is obviously the convenience features - not the sound quality, not the ANC. I started out with only APP's but...

What (if any) sound difference is there between the ZE3000 and the EVA2020? I'm quite interested in the Ultraman edition (as I sit here with an Ultraman plush hanging over me lol), but I already have the Rei edition EVA2020's.

I haven't really been keeping up with issues (if any, but I know refreshes and especially first-gen products of anything Apple always has problems) but have there been any major issues with the second-gen Airpod Pros? And is there news of a complete redesign on the horizon in late '24 or is that...

I'm definitely not Gen Z (nor Millennial or Gen X) and I'm wholly guilty of all of the above, especially Discord. Soon I shall lack the power to form whole sentences with punctuation, and will pasta anyone else who still does.

Holy moly he's gone full Santa

eh, plenty of us like that around i'm sure

Not really even a disagreement, but more a comparative difference of opinion in terms of what constitutes niche I suspect. Its highly unlikely head-fi will get any smaller but I think it will be where it is for a while, if you see what I mean. Same really goes for Amir's cult | DIYAudio gained...

...wars XD... And I remember making a few pointed comments in particular about the flagship cable of a maker who's still around that some people got *really* defensive about. Though I think one of the problems now of equipment to measure with being much more readily available is that while you...

...direct replacement I have for it (the UFX III) was £2700. It does far more and may be overkill for someone used to the original FF, but it is the *contemporary equivalent*. So that says two things to me at least: - excessive high-end consumerism isn't entirely the cause: old farts have to...

Happy New Year to the farts

I love that we've never changed our avatars kek
