    Which are some of the heaviest headphones ever forged in the pits of hell?

    Mods should just lock this thread now. It's over. Go home. It's getting dangerous. Someone could break their neck.

    Show us your vintage headphones!

    Oh come on. Not that interested? Each driver is separated into two section with longer folds and shorter for highs and lows. Lil folded paper accordion boxes to strap on your head. Paper driver so it's got to be organic sounding as a result. Siver grey and rectangular driver housing? - And a...

    AKG K340 Electrostatic Phones

    Dug out my K180 from storage. They need some renovations as the cable is 50 years old and I had other headphones that held interest and didn't get around to them. Listening to them with fresh ears and I think they do have something special. The reason I mention them, not only as part of the AKG...

    AKG K340 Electrostatic Phones

    AKG seemed to want to pushed design. The K140 is a sleeper. K180 is super interesting. The K340 is worth being enthusiastic about as part of that lineage and on it's own merits. I don't think anything is perfect but being interesting and unique in design sure pushes things along for me as far...

    AKG K340 Electrostatic Phones

    K340 is wonderful but coloured to my ears. From a time of AKG's massive creativity. A TOL no holds barred crazy exploration for the era. I'll always have a pair. Somethings it just plays amazingly.

    coffee-fi

    If it's a hand grinder you're after, that one's been great for pour overs. Don't do espresso at home so no idea how it would do on that. But 1Zpresso seems to make a nice product. No regrets. Got it when wife was working from home and I had to get coffee going without interrupting her zoom...

    B You have to use a nonconductive method of attachment when using a crystal on your grinder or it won't work

    coffee-fi

    I've migrated back to Hario V60 paper filter for the last bit from a flannel dripper. Been going higher ratio 20g to 250ml and *gasp* not blooming, doing a single pour, and agitating by stirring at the end of the pour with a chopstick. Weird.

    While it's been covered by others. I love the original. Solid layers of arrangements, precision, piano vamp, that rhythm guitar, the African chorus. Love the first kick drum. Raspy voice and the lyrics with layered meanings - and danceable.

    90s UK Classic soul album. Definitely recommend a listen to the whole thing. One and done as far as the group goes. Would have been more widely known if it wasn't the case. Everything is on point on this album. There's one sample on the album that drove me crazy for a few years. In the before...
