Just got a 30$ off coupon for linsoul... Wondering if/how I'm gonna use it.

Buy some Fearless Rolands.

If you do buy Rolands (or anything from Linsoul right now...) be prepared to wait. I ordered my Rolands 15 days ago and they just shipped yesterday, lol. They apparently had a crap ton of sales on 11/11, plus that is the day they dropped the Tin Hifi T4 on Indiegogo. Those things have significantly slowed down fulfillment for sure.

Yeah, the 11/11 orders I bought haven't shipped yet. They did ship the T4's though, so that's good news.

The Rolands though... Eh. Not willing to spend that much right now. Might wait till next year! Just bought a PC for my living room which set me back.

The Hiby R3 Pro is in the building! As a bonus, I was extremely happy to find out my red leather covered hard case from my R3 fits the R3 Pro. Sound impressions to follow later.

So until the next WOW get posted I've been having a live kind of day and never say Poddy's not eclectic I think as one poster says Bonnie is a musical treasure for sure, being an old Austin boy I've seen her, Willie, Rusty, Marcia, Angela, Jimmy Dale, Omar and his trusty band of Howlers, Jerry Jeff oh hell you name'em and I've probably seen them at least a half dozen times. Heck back in my phone man days I put phones in (well not the actual phone but strung the lines out to their places) for many a local like Willie's daughter and his drummer, Charlie Sexton's and Rob Pope of Spoon.



Heck here's an awesome band I bet many of you never heard of but you should give a few of their albums ("Wishing Like A Mountain and Thinking Like The Sea", "Volo Volo" & Pomegranite") a listen as they rock and during their Austin years late 80' early 90's I sold my old JBL 4311B' to Bruce their bass player who lived across the street from me. Useless trivia you'll never be asked

Argon MKIIIs in the house!!!!! These are absolutely fantastic headphones. I'm blown away by how good a $350 pair of headphones sounds. I need to take a few days to let the shock and awe settle in and make sure it's not new toy syndrome. I'm pretty sure it's true though because I'm pretty open minded.... But still need to make sure.

I've been on a U2 kick the last few days.....

As promised, here are some sound impressions of the R3 Pro vs the R3. It sounds similar to the R3 with just a bit better sub bass, better instrument placement, and a bit wider soundstage. I used the exact same settings on both the R3 and the R3 pro and A/B'ed them using my Hylas. Where you really notice the difference between them is the extra 100mW per channel from the 2.5mm balanced output. I would say that if you already have the R3 and don't have any issues running whatever IEMs or headphones currently, the R3 Pro isn't exactly necessary, but it is a bit better. I'm still glad I bought it and I just listed my R3 for sale because I'm keeping the Pro.
