Quick informal survey: Who amongst us is posting here to flex?

What could I flex when I only listen to a 2-pin modded Sony MH755, with an old yellowish Walkman, some homemade Japanese cables with a very weird name (Yotanwa or something), and a very plain looking black amp which is also made by the same guy that made the cables..

If you could only keep one, which one would it be, and why?

A very interesting way to spend a hundred grand (give or take).. it's them or a Bimmer M5/M6

A member commented a while ago that he can't afford to buy HD820 or HD800. He sounded a bit jealous. He owns a few HD6**
It was towards me and owning both...but in the next couple of pages...he said how he spent vacations in Greece with his wife and I think two children...
I didn't reply to that, but I could say to him...dude...I can't spend (afford) that much money on vacations either, instead of that, I enjoy Hi-Fi
So, in this case...vacation or Hi-Fi...I choose Hi Fi...but I have zero interests in Bimmers

Is the better half happy with the Hi-Fi life choice though?

Well, it's hard to believe, but there are those happy soulmates.
It's very rare to happen, but we are soulmates, yes.

We share everything. No secrets between us...freedom and free life...
hmm, not free in that term, hahaha, these things cost a looot of money.

But that's only money...which is there to spend.

Cheers!

The PWA 1950’s is hands down the best cable I’ve ever heard. The shielding version is the icing on the cake but I would be just as happy with a non shielded clone. For my preferences it brings out the very best in your favorite iem. I haven’t heard a bad pairing with the 50’s. At this moment I’m using my 50’s shielding with the Fei Wan and having an insanely enjoyable experience. And Man! Do I miss the LX! Excited to hear the Triton and it seems Noble Audio has also made an L shape iem that I am super curious about in the Onyx!

Funny you mention it, I am also a huge fan of th 1960's, it had an energentic romantic sound, trying my best to describe it. the 1950's is a great neutral cable that really clears everything up.

But to get back to the Z1R and harsh treble...perhaps, I wouldn't know, is there any?

I posted about Audeze CRBN a couple of days ago.
It was a completely different experience from what I had with planars and DD headphones.
These headphones open up a completely new universe of sound.
I was recently considering getting the Hifiman HE1000 Stealth.

I thought I might get perfect headphones for listening to jazz and classical music.
I almost bought them, but I suddenly ordered CRBN instead. And man...did I do the right thing?

Now, it makes complete sense to listen to Jazz and Classical music on headphones.
and not only through speakers, which I preferred for jazz and classical above everything.

But now, with CRBN...it's equal...

Why is that connected to Z1R?
If someone can't take Z1R's "harsh treble," then I think electrostatic headphones will be a hard take, too.

And if it is, then they loose really, really something special if they like jazz or classical music.

Cheers!
