New Head-Fier
NiceOnce again, I'm pulling vampire hours so I've got to start winding down before the sun comes up. That makes this a perfect time to show my ZMF Verite Closed some love. I'll be running them off the Schiit Lyr (70s Reflektor 6n23p tubes) with the Modi Multibit 2 decoding the optical output from a Wiim Mini.
Up next in the queue is a perfect album for closing your eyes and letting your mind wander: Apocalyptica's Live in Helsinki Saint John's Church. Since this was released in November I have listened to it a handful of times on various transducers. I have to say, they got incredible sound quality for this being recorded live in a large church setting with high ceilings and a lot of reverberation and reflection to deal with. I think it's amazing what we can do with live sound recordings these days and as a guy who loves a good live album, I'm totally diggin' it. The VCs make cellos (and pretty much all strings really) sound so luscious without being excessively warm so they're really the perfect pair of closed backs to listen to this with. I highly recommend both the album and the VCs.

Bat For Lashes - Lost Girls
Really great 80’s synth pop revival album. Her new single was quite different from this, came across this morning but this album hits the right vibes today.

Sony IER-Z1R
Spring is breaking out and Chord released a firmware update for Poly this morning making this a mandatory update and IER day.
Good job by Chord as the update was fast and problem free. The Poly/Mojo 2 combination is vastly improved from a stability & ease of use perspective since the Mojo 2 hit the market.
Love the phenomenal build quality of the Z1R but they lack low end... so I move deeper into my rat nest of gear. First, Sony XBA-05, later will be the XBA-H3. All dusted off and ready for spring time portability.
Bob Marley One Love soundtrack serves up the reminder that newer, costlier kit, doesn't always result in the happiness that hanging onto to the old stuff delivers.

As per the graphs...they have very similar bass values as Z1R, perhaps even weaker.
Interesting.

A unique posthardcore/screamo album that doesn’t utilize distorted guitars at all, and was recorded on vintage gear. They deserved to get much larger than they did, I actually saw Portugal. The Man open for this band when I was like 15 lol. Wild!

The vocals are a little samey but I love the flow, and he was very entertaining on stage so I can excuse it a little lol. Boy Gets What He Wants and Smoke It To The Rope are the jams.
