There are wayyytoo many iem manufacturers nowadayd

both of these could really use some luminance control to direct attention to the subject.  the first one with a controlled flash or even simply a dodge in post production.    the 2nd one with not only a light, but a tilt-shift to steer the plane of focus from left edge foreground to right...

alden makes classically-constructed shoes.   this means that below the insole is a corkbed that conform to your feet over time.  rather than some synthetic insole that is soft, but deform elastically (=springy) 

This is all lore IMO.  My daily wear rotates between crockett & jones bench and handgrades, vass's, sutors, grenson masterpiece, etc.  Nice to look at, and of course good longevity for their class... but leather soles are slippery, delicate calfskin uppers demands high level of care.     For...

second observation:  the HF3 obviates the HF2!!!   bought both because i was planning on swapping between android and iphone.  HF2 has single button and made for android, and supposedly HF3 with 3 buttons programmed only for iOS.....     turns out, the center button of HF3 functions just...

bought a pair of ER4PT , HF2, and HF3 at the same time   the housing and tips look identical between the ER & the HF but for whatever reason the ER inserts easier and seals much, much better.  i have to put the larger tips on the HF to approach seal of ER on the base (clear gray) tips  ...

just ordered the 4PT after a long hiatus since the 4P was lost in some taxi.... tried a bunch here and there but nothing's the same ! (ATK CK-10 maybe!)

It's been many years since I've last been on here.  And when I started 10+ years ago, there weren't that many choices - especially in IEM space, which is my favorite.     There were Shure and Etymotic as the major players, and then a few smaller guys here and there.   Now there are a...

timezone.com is a good source watchuseek.com is another chrono24.com is another   theres always ebay.com   ive bought and sold multi-thousand dollar watches through all 4 of those sites

These are not oxfords but rather Derbys or bluchers. Depending from where you hail

ER6i put me on the Ety train.   I liked the ER4P so much, that after losing them TWICE, i kept buying more.  amazon had run a great deal on them -- 170$ -- so it was no big deal.     then they priced it back to MSRP and i started diversifying again.. this time into ATH-CK10 which i had...

best you just tell the truth   just as a single data point, i purchased a quite expensive new garment from a private selling in the US, shipped to me in continental europe   today i received a letter from the post requiring i come in with proof of payment and ebay or auction or similar...

when i joined i was carrying around a generic MP3-CD player , tiny JDM FM record, and plugged headphones to the back of a PC in my dorm for late night listening   those were the days

i've seen a large part of the US.  the only 2 desirable places in the entire country for me is the denver-boulder metroplex, and seattle-tacoma.   i also grew up in california, so i have an idea of where you're coming from.  denver snows, but the winters are extremely mild, and the housing...

the salt lick is good for a few things, but actual food isnt it.  you want franklin's, or john mueller's

it is widely considered that the best OEM sound systems are Lexus' Mark Levinson (they were previously Nakimichi-branded and also lauded) ; Porsche's Burmeister ; also, Porsche's -yes - Bose; Audi's B&O; and Acura's non-branded ELS

this should be 2002

well, i have 2 Sinns, a Limes, a Meistersinger, and a Nomos watch.  a few knives from solingen. i associate german products with pride of craftsmanship.  lovely everything else , as well

thanks for sharing that.  i have no records and would be starting from scratch.  it was a spur-of-the-moment whim - i was affected by the romanticization of the "warmth" and "body" of vinyl.  but i think i will sit on this idea for some more
