Looked into your profile again, here you got another whiskey lover

 

 
Whiskey is suuuper expensive here, something common like Ardbeg 10yo costs ~$67USD, but boy, do I love me some Islay single malts.
 
This is probably my favourite song, it's all I need to test audio gear. I guess hearing it live a few years ago makes it all the more special.

I will certainly try it for the experience when I come across it!
 
Which one did you recommend? Either the sherry or the ex-bourbon?

That is a pretty good song.

It's more like a travel guide with VN elements. Something like this.
Supposed to be really nice!

 

[deadlylover]

  This one no good anyways.... 

 
Urgh, Balvenie 21, I wouldn't even consider buying that because it's chill filtered at 40% and looks like it has artificial e150 colouring.
 
AND they're charging 21yo money for that, what a joke.

Yes! The streaming site of my choice finally has the Bayonetta movie!
I'm so gonna watch this piece of trash

Looks like that bottle costs $120 here in Australia, might be a bit too much for something that's bottled at 40%, with no age statement eitheerrrrrrrrrrrrr. It will have to wait until I find myself overseas.
 
I can't stand wine.

Nah you got to try this one... this is sth special, very smooth at room temp. 

Smooth as silk as described, forget abt aging just go and grab a bottle!
 
Drink some and listen to some Mahler No.6...

There we go, now we're back to regular posting speed!

  lol 2 consecutive posts saying the same thing

 

 
Now... the real question:
 
16 or 19 billion?

LOL, wow...
Wonder who the second person is... 

I think it's $16B with $3B stocks or something
 

 

  Today is a pretty schitty day
 
BUT, thankfully, Golden Time and ALL THE BEST ANIME will be comming out later today 

didn't watch golden time yet XD, so far only watched "Ore no Nounai Sentakushi" and "Nagi no Asukara" and yet going to watch the 1st Episodes from "Log Horizon, Yuushibu, and maybe Non Biyori " and will keep what i like,  

the rest of the October list that i didn't mention = i didn't like and did  delete them i don't watch on going thats the thing, wishing that i didn't start  Nagi no asukara :< 

will start January's list at April ofc or later on, i am always  a season behind which got advantages specially for 12 eps anime hhehe

Watch Non Non Biyori now! :3
 

 

Lol, the journey around the states didn't make them sound any better?

Still crap, eh?

Just to clarify:

I don't think the replacement set are crap, they are simply underwhelming. I think the most they are worth after experiencing the GR07's is $200.

I don't like the sub-mid bass balance or bass texture, like vocals, and find the detail retrieval shallow.

I also just recently think I've found the spike people mention after increasing the volume in an attempt to understand the populous. I'm not sure about this either tho

You could say ME2 would gladly call the first set crap but they turned out to be defective. If they hadn't:

"as a package and for the price, ASG 2's are crap".

I finally feel quite disappointed in how dale addressed my graph question. I complimented him a while back for comparing his phones to other options but now think Music123's post rings stronger.

Then again I have my own internal problems with feeling confident in my analysis of a products sound. I try posting stuff here and there to attempt stepping out of my comfort zone but I don't know.... and people should know I don't know... I think, right?

I still haven't posted them up for sale yet. I contacted eke about the revisions they are supposedly going to get and other peeps(some present here) about just general stuff on these. Someone contacted me when I posted I will sell, I was waiting for MF to post her impressions as I want to link all of them on the sale thread, including some PM snippets both good and bad.

Thanks fo them pics!!!!!

Yeah, I would agree. Compared to cheaper IEMs that are more balanced and cohesive, the G2 is underwhelming.
 
No problem and good luck selling! 

 

 

  Fast J-pop headphones picking guide:

As a person who listens to Anison / Vocaloid 90% of the time, I actually prefer more of a V-shaped sound signature. I don't really care about the vocals.

Eh? You can stand the treble of some anison recordings being boosted? 

 
To each their own... Lol
 

 

  a lot or most of the people do so, but the super slacker me always want the all in one solution for the J-pop, thats why i did spend a lot of money and time testing :3 

but yes having many headphones for different genres is always good ^^ 

 
Try a 007mk1 or a modified 007A/mk2 with something like a KGSSHV/BHSE/DIY T2 powering it.
 
Slightly dark signature which is very forgiving of j-pop recordings, but still gives oodles of detail because of the electrostat speed/treble presentation. Normal dynamics with a slightly dark response just sounds a little too muddy IMO.
 
I've had the 007 for three years now, and I wouldn't trade it for anything, not even the 009. The life fiber synchronisation is strong for me! 

 
It won't impress upon first listen, but that's exactly why I think it's so good, it just chews up whatever I throw at it without any of the Hi-Fi pantomime.

Grr, I hope someone at the next Seattle meet brings some 007s that I can hear.
 
How do you modify the 007 MK2 to make it sound better?
 
Lol, don't listen to this man Shini, he'll get you to join the STAX mafia and there's no going back once you're in the mafia like I am. 

 

Oh that's why my browser nearly crashed; it was trying to load OVER 9000!!! YouTube videos. >.>

That's what this thread is for: http://www.head-fi.org/t/561434/asian-music-chinese-japanese-korean

Just like we should post pen discussions in pen-fi, computer discussions in PC-fi, moe discussions in moe-fi, video game discussions in the various video game threads, and vocaloid songs in the vocaloid thread. But we don't.

Whoa, I think I had a dream within a dream last night...

Big red flags already if you're describing it smooth as silk, a good single malt should be anything but smooth IMO. 
 
I think it's kind of like when people start out in audio, they want super duper bass. Comparing it to whiskey, I know when I first started drinking I thought that smoother was better too, but I have become more experienced since then.
 
But just like anything else, it all comes down to personal taste. 

 

 
How do you modify the 007 MK2 to make it sound better?

 
Basically, we plug some holes with blu-tak to get a proper seal.
 
Notice how if you lift off the SR-202's earpads sliiiightly to break the seal, the bass goes all boomy? Pretty much the same thing happens all the time with an unmodded 007A, I'm not sure why Stax made it that way.

 

[UnityIsPower]

I did not like them either...my brother does though.


Are you still looking for an upgrade or are you happy with the GR07 for now?

What did he like about them, pls, for my sanity....

I'm going to keep my 07's and try out as many phones as I can. The only way I'll go full on purchase on anything from now on is if I can describe it as simply amazing. I'm looking at trying out Focal Spirit One Pros just to once again see if I like a headphone tyll rated well(didn't like momentum's, found them too mellow). I'm then looking to demo JH Audio Roxanne's to get a good idea of just how high the bar is. I'm going to be recieving some Ety's also to try out thanks to some very lovely people. I'll keep a eye out for demoing k3003's and ie800's also ect....

I really don't want to stop my headphone journey @ the ASG "fiasco" but if the ASG 2's actually turn out to represent the difference I will see with high end gear... The GR07's will be very lonely for a very long time.

They need to deliver me some ultra HD rainbows and unicorns!

LOL, wow...

Watch Non Non Biyori now! :3

Yeah... I'm seriously considering selling them for $200...



Panda, did you buy that album on iTunes? CD?

I'm currently enjoying Lachlan's album:
