Oh no.... I just came from a listening session with my EX600 being run through Marilyn. My audio in jack is starting to cut out causing channel imbalance in my IEM's. I hope its fixable I don't want to lose Marilyn.
Ahh, you want to be able to make essentially a custom sleeve. I went the full route of embedding the 252 right into the goop heh.
You people and your fancy IEMs. I spent all my money on my BRAND NEW COMPUTER.
I'm rarely ever out. Work doesn't permit me to leave very often, hence majority of my listening is spent indoors, be it home or otherwise.

Yeah. I was going to use the Super.Fi 3 as matrixes to do the gooping on, so the result would be ready for the Triple.Fi 10 when it arrived. Not to mention basically have a pair of "custom" ear moulds to use for whatever comes my way.
Haha, I bought a BRAND NEW TV. That's what I've been spending part of today setting up. I don't even watch TV much, but it's got to be ready for the cable installer tomorrow.
Uh oh. I forgot.
D:
HOW COULD YOU FORGET THE SOUND? *weeps little unicorn tears*
Honestly most TV speakers drive me crazy with how badly they render dialogue. And with the trend for ridiculously thin televisions now it can only get worse. It actually leaves me to wonder how the Bose TV sounds heh.
Maybe he got a Bang & Olufsen TV.
Since we're watching videos: I'm not a big fan of dub whatever - I don't hate it, I'm just not paying attention to the genre - but I happened across this number by Spoek Mathambo last winter and it's been stuck in my head since. One of the few times I've preferred a cover of a Joy Division song to the original.
And oh yeah the video is brilliant.
Maybe he got a Bang & Olufsen TV.

Maybe someday.
No, we simply got a good, sturdy, but not fancy 1080p unit from LG. I didn't totally ignore audio: currently there is a 3-piece computer speaker system plugged in. Which sounds pathetic by description and possibly in person, but it's a no-cost improvement over the built in speakers, so we're rolling with it for now. Except...
...the only audio outputs the TV offers are optical and a headphone jack. The headphone jack is noisy, so I plugged a spare DAC into the optical out. The sound is great (relative to the headphone jack and especially to the built-in speakers), but it is a line-source that I can't control from the TV, so the volume controls and mute are ignored. Walking up to the speakers just to control the volume is not going to make us happy, so I'll have to go back to the noisy headphone jack for now.
Since all I expect to watch are bicycle races, some hockey and the odd cooking show, this is usually a lower priority than music for me, but it's a high priority for my partner and things had to be in place for the cable installer tomorrow.
It's a great track as well. I wasn't aware that that was considered dub - something. Interesting.
