    Favorite Junk Food

    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...

    Minidisc preventative maintenance?

    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?

    What is the cheapest config you can live with if you had to sell everything else?

    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.

    Where Do You See The Future of HiFi?

    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...

    Apple AirPods Pro And NEW AirPods Pro 2nd Gen (from 23 Sep 2022) - Impressions

    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.

    What gear do you have laying around that's not getting used?

    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...

    What gear do you have laying around that's not getting used?

    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...

    Apple AirPods Pro And NEW AirPods Pro 2nd Gen (from 23 Sep 2022) - Impressions

    It was pretty funny to see the reactions back in '19 since many reviewers (and users) had never actually dealt with any kind of ANC before, so it was a case of 'OMG THIS IS AMAZING' to 'THIS CANCELS NUTHIN' depending on your Apple-bias tendencies / expectations coming from a full-size ANC phone...

    Final Audio Design Impressions and Discussion Thread

    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.
