  Is there anybody hyping for To Love-Ru 2nd Darkness and MonMusu? My body is ready

I'm under contract to say

 
 

  Let's just pray that the producers don't include steam/light beams etc. I don't wanna be waiting for blu-ray releases T_T

Pfff maybe on your home planet.

 To be more specific, somewhere around 10,000 years have been spent playing The Witcher 3.

Sounds about right.

@AxelCloris - I just put in an order for the ALO RX. Would you consider this amp to be transparent? SGS told me that he felt it might be a bit bassy from Lieven's (at Headfonia) notes on the RX vs. the Picollo (which SGS owns)
 
Mice - Very interesting in regard to the HE1000 blind test! Does put a damper on all of those "planars need massive power" claims. I wish I'd had the SR207 along with me at the time. It's been a good while since I'd listened to it actually with the summer heat seeping in

Who else is hyped for Bikini Warriors?!


Woooooooo ridiculously oversized and bouncy meatsacks!
I could just watch some damn H but whatever! Lousy pseudo stories are fuuuuuuun and shows that purely exist to sell merchandise are exactly what keeps this sad industry alive!

@miceblue

Difference is even bigger than I thought.

Jinrui wa Suitai shimaaasshiiiieetaaaaaaaaaa is uniquely good.
You won't find something similar everywhere. It was a forgotten step forward toward good anime

Oh head-fi...
Uniquely good sounds even better than really good.

The review unit that I had for a month was very transparent to my ears. If I had a warm source in front of it, the sound was warm. Same situation with a bright source. I personally found it nearly invisible. I've heard one or two people mention that they heard a slight warmth when they listened but I don't think I've seen anyone call it bassy. There could be differences as a result of use if you believe in burn-in, which I do.

Yeah I'd seen Curra mention that he felt it was quite transparent as well. Good to hear. I'll be comparing it against the Leck 6S Mk II while I've got it for the 30 days. I like what I've read in regard to the RX. It's nicely priced too which is a plus. All of this seems rather redundant with the LC on the way though, but I suppose I've gotta fill that 3/4 month void with something

Did you get the nickle or black finish? The nickle comes with a swanky ALO USB cable as well.
 
Speaking of LC I recently learned that it uses current feedback amps. That makes me very happy and explains part of the reason why I liked it so much. Hopefully Alex is still on schedule to begin shipping in August.
 
I'm also waiting on ALO's Continental Dual Mono to be released. Just gotta continue being patient.

Welp, at least there's no 1 guy 5 girls setting, so you're safe

Overkill? Hmmm they packaged it pretty well.
Haven't read half of these :|

I actually just changed my order to nickel. I was thinking of just rolling with black, but the nickel finish just looks so clean and unique in a world of black/slver amps. I have a soft spot for stuff that "ages" as well, such as leather and denim. Yeah the Dual Mono is a looker for sure, I love that window with the tubes on full display. Heck, I love the drilled out panels so you can see the orange glow on the RX. Real neat touch. 
 
When it comes to these types of preorders, I almost always expect there to be delays due to unforeseen problems in the pipeline. Wouldn't surprise me at all if Cavalli missed their estimate

That moment you find a puella magicka shirt at Hot topic and that you'll wear with no shame....but its a t shirt so u can't. I can only wear polos or v necka

I agree. The black is pretty but the nickle is what stands out to me. And the CDM is something wonderful, I fell in love with it in under a minute at AXPONA.
 
Alex did say that he's already ordered parts and started work on the production body so I could see him sticking to the August estimate. But either way he'll be a lot closer to his estimate than another audio company that has a good chunk of my money.
