"The Lab"

Throw us some FX850 @howdy! Those are one I've always been curious about, but scared off for the same reasons Vince is. Would be interesting to try them!
 
Agree with Vince, somebody kick Vince some DN2KJ. And then kick them to me 

 
I take really good care of gear! Honest!!!

You've tried so many.  Update your profile so we can see where LZ-A2 and Puro IEM500 stack up in your mind.  I'm hoping near the top so I won't be tempted to buy more haha.

there's literally like 40 iems that need to get added to the list.

I'm thinking once the review queue is lower I'm going to be more exclusive with what samples I get. That way I can keep up more with threads and just enjoy all this gear.

Good idea, Vince!

Think about it, I wrote my first review in May. I'm closing in on 50 reviews before the year is over...

Too much honestly


But tell you the truth, it's a labor of love for this hobby. I hope to do more beta testing type of stuff or help with product development. That's very interesting stuff.

I'm with you re: beta testing. It's fun and can be very rewarding!

Hope that gets sorted out. I am interested on your take on it. They seem to be getting quite the praise. Good thing their price isn't in the impulse buy territory for me
 
 
Also I finally got my first desktop amp! Can't wait for it Should be here soon!

How the heck do you get through close to 50 reviews in 7 months?

Yeah, we all got the Postal Service Blues

Sexy piece of kit, by the way!

To be honest, it has pretty much consumed all of my free time for the last few months.

Lots of coffee, energy drinks, and staying up until the wee hours of the morning.

 

[Hisoundfi]

It's too much, I know.

I'm honored to be considered for so many review opportunities it's hard to say no. Plus, I've gotten really good at pumping out reviews. I almost have a mental checklist that I cover when writing them.

I'm gearing towards being more exclusive and setting my standards higher. Both in products I cover and the quality of my work.

I know, you do that in batches, crazy!  I got really burned out early this year, and now slowed down to 1 review a week, which also improved the quality of my work.  DAP reviews are very time consuming because it's not just a single product analysis, but also a comparison to other DAPs, and pair up test with different headphones, and different external amps, battery drain test, and so on.

That stinks man!

One of the worst feelings is not getting mail when you're supposed to.

Thanks for the suggestion bud, but I already have it.

Figures. Bette you don't have a BETTE.

Yep - Alex and I have talked a few times about the changing ways the new waves of reviewers are outputting their reviews.  Justin has output 40+ since May.  I think Alex is around 39. Even Nick is hitting 36.  My count is around 27 including the Headfonia ones.
 
I just can't keep up with you young'uns any more.  So I'm pretty sure I'm going to pull back.  If I could do 20-25 a year, I'd be much happier, and the output quality of my work would be better too I think.
