NOICE! Everything MATCHES! ALL YAMAHA! :D Makes my OCD happy AND it is great gear - congrats!

Rattle is not a favourite nor a hated one, just indifferent (to me, YMMV), but the price is right, and what the hell, just to support not just physical media... also SACD! :D :heart:it. Just ordered! The musicians will get more from one doing so than from thousands of streams...

Man - why the insults? (just kidding! :D great band - good recommendation...)

Too bad I cannot reference the photo in the above post, but it made me think of this :D

then there is that... :D

It is hard... on one hand yes, and given as I have been theorizing, your (our) own hearing plays a big factor on all this. To ME, the sr80x and previous models were the harshest thing on earth... while other people sang their praises. In my mind, if the F cushions tamed the sr80x, then the...

Like I mentioned before - finally being willing to swap pads AND discovering the F Pads ( or cushions? what is the preferred one, pads or cushions? ) saved my relationship with Grado. You may laugh at me, but I have been cycling thru many recordings, listening to just bits. Why? Because I am...

Just to clarify - I was talking about the Geekria Comfort Pads which are the ones Geekria has that are the closest to the Grado F Pads. That said, I am updating this because today I got the actual Grado F Pads I ordered. Immediately installed. Well, amazing. Better than the Geekria comfort -...

Thanks for that post - gives me an entry for my follow up - tried a different type of Geekrias - the ones that kind of look like Grado's L Cushions... and definitely a degradation - wen't back to the ones I bought first, open, no cup shape. So, it is a combination of factors IMHO - Closeness to...

Ok - here I am one more time, singing the same song... but with a new verse... :D Have posted in the past that the sr325x are the first Grados that I liked... mentioned that everything I tried below those in the Prestige line, just could not get into them... I am still here because, I happened...

Ok - so first post in this thread. A bit of a journey here - with just one (both fortunately and unfortunately) happy stop. Many years ago, I heard of Grado's reputation and of course, decided to try. It was a strange experience... Started with the SR80e. As usual, I started with some chamber...

Thanks so much! hammers

I have to ask - what is that rack? where to find it? thnx! hammers

Once I was given a link, where someone used a really expensive audiophile USB cable to connect a printer to a computer. The site was hilarious - guy waxed poetic in the funniest of ways about how the printouts were the best ever - really funny. I really wish I had bookmarked the link, I cannot...

Use high gain mode - look for the switch in the front [Edit - I forgot the Asgard 3 has the high gain switch in the front - I do apologize ] - move it to the up position. That's the most likely reason. Also, yes, make sure your mac volume is set to all the way up. hammers

I think you are replying to a different post I made - but I know which one. Well - is like this: I do remember when my parents were crapping on my rock'n'roll telling me to listen to real music like Harry Belafonte and others similar instead of the garbage I liked! What is funny is how much...

I believe the point was not that whether @JLoud 's grandma was right or wrong, but that ( and I am starting to admit this to myself ) the present generation will ALWAYS crap on the next generation's music :D I mean, I remember reading how Franz Strauss ( Richard's dad) used to crap on that...

Indeed; when the purpose of a car is to get you from A to B, I agree, everything else is superfluous. This could be controversial thing - so I will just make an observation, not intending it to be a hot take - I think this is the crux of the biscuit. I think Ableza made a comment above re...

I have never understood how the guys at Milli Vanilli got the brunt of the impact and shame - very unfair. Number one, is not like it was an unheard of practice and number two, they just happened to get caught, in a relatively silly manner... The shame should be on the producer, Frank Farian...

Bedtime merely signals the opening of negotiations... hammers

Thanks for the advice - specially since there is a dedicated thread - my bad, what happens is that I am so used to just check the Schiit threads ( Jason's and Baldur's) that I forget there are many other forums here! :D. That said, would love to keep getting feedback here... hammers

Thanks First of all, re: Loki/Lokius - this sounds like a good recommendation for someone who just want to change things up - haven't thought of it, because to tell you the truth, I have become a bit hardcore re: not using EQ - But there is a reason - I used EQ before and I was in the habit of...

Mani OG, Bifrost 2, Saga OG, Asgard 3 Headphones: AKG 712 Pro, 7XX Drop, Hifiman Drop 5XX, Hifiman Ananda, Hifiman 400i OG, Beyerdynamic DT-1990 Pro, DT-17XX Drop, DT-700 Pro X, DT-770 Pro. Love all of them, do not keep things that I don't like... had the AKG K550; they looked impressive but...

Good point, and to clarify, the $250 price point was a joke... thinking you are right, whether op-amp or Class D, thinking Schiit will shoot for the $400 price point... hammers

So, no hope we will see Class D monoblocks from Schiit at $250 a pop? :D hammers
