I don’t think ai is killing art by any means. I also believe computer generated art will get much better. Right now it often displays a clearly artificial environment that i find very off putting. It also has no inherent creativity. The human inputs the basis of an idea and the machine...

Any art made sincerely has merit. The beauty and or value lies with the observer. Bad art if it exists is able to show the lack of care and honesty in its making. I believe ai art shows this. As this is a philosophical meditation my words are just one mans opinion.

Oof. All that ai illustration makes my brain hurt. Not a comment on the product .

For me the best value in head Fi with the new enthusiast in mind is the grado sr60. I remember getting mine many years ago for $50 . That is the headphone that opened the door to my ever increasing interest in hi fidelity personal audio. It still sounds good to me when i revisit it from time to...

@Dsnuts has been a voice i respect and appreciate. His reviews and opinions have led me to two iems i still have and enjoy, namely Penon Serial and Dunu SA6. He has been an honest reviewer in my estimation.

Here is a sketch i thought some here might appreciate. Tuning in to the sound of the universe.

If you are still giving badges for past can jam. I attended last year in NYC. Had a great time

I agree with original poster as far as not liking a dongle attached to my phone for portable use. Of course you are right that it is what they are intended for. I will take a blue tooth option for convenience.

New case today from Harbor Freight. $40. A bit of overkill for my needs but very sturdy indeed.

Since it is a bit quiet here tonight I will share one I just finished yesterday. “Barnyard Madonna”

Finally going to see this guy tomorrow night. Really looking forward to it. Pretty ridiculous video.

Not the best but pretty pretty good

I Am in the camp of beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It is not universal. Also a thing people say around here a lot. To each their own, ymmv, etc.

I like the titanium as well. Maybe less fingerprints than og

Andromeda S, Gryphon, Firefly

You can try the ifi iematch pigtail. I have used that with good results for sensitive iems

Cats are self obsessed a holes and I dig em. They also love to relocate things on tables to the floor. Hope you have a happy ending

Grado, Penon, Little Dot and Ifi.All these items mix and match for delightful thick mids and an overall sweet warm honey sound.

My version of a country song

I am currently using the little dot 3 with rs2e liberte. Great combo. Mullard tubes are my favorite

I think cables should come from the manufacturer with full specs disclosed including measured resistance. this would give a solid metric to compare one cable to another. I don’t care what people spend their money on and I choose to replace stock cables with a $20 aftermarket option due to better...

If you can take a drive up 95 to NYC for can jam in a couple weeks you can preview any number of contenders before committing. I can’t recommend this enough.

I use FIIO bt adapters with Audiosense T800 at the gym. Works great for me. I am not listening critically at the gym so this level of sound is fine and the ergonomics are fantastic.

Bummer for you

The three iems I have that I would consider bass head are the CFA Atlas, UM Mext and EE Bravado MK2. They all use different drivers to get there but each hit hard. I don’t think the Atlas would be a buy for you as it is another single dd from CFA and you have the cascade. The Mext is a tribrid...
