I would love to have the opportunity to make the F1 the subject of my first review :-)

Massdrop name: s.pwyll   I would love to see a drop for Fostex T50RP MK3's     And thanks for this opportunity :-)

Ahhh...did not know upholstery supplies were so hard to shop for in Germany 

  The JoAnn's here has an upholstery section with a selection of thimbles that will fit adult male thumbs.  They don't look like "normal" thimbles but they work quite well.

  It's frustrating how life insists on happening despite personal plans sometimes.  Good luck with everything going on, and with everything you want to get going  :)       Beautiful job.  I would say "inspiring," but that would imply I would like try to do something even remotely similar...

      I agree with Syan25--I've run a Clip+ at low volume using the D-zero to amp it, and run the Clip+ at high volume using the D-zero to "limit" it and I haven't had any issues with low volume in either scenario.  Obviously the upper end is louder with the Clip feeding a higher volume...

Quote:   Were they considered trance in 2010 when he started the thread?    I've never been very good at the whole "genre" thing, even back when there were only 10 or so genres--about the time I figure out how people classify what I like I found out they've changed the definitions...

Thanks  :-)   I don't have enough disposable income to get into deep trouble and I've been hopping from one moderately expensive hobby to another the last few years so my wallet's already used to being woefully empty.   

Hello,   Normally I just read and run, but since I bothered to actually join here I suppose I should introduce myself.   I am approaching the half-century mark and finally find myself in a position to actually spend more than $10 on a set of headphones, so I have a lot of catching up to...
