Do you still work for interscope?

Not anymore, the days bringing in bands to showcase for Jimmy are long gone. Although I was in his office one time before Beats launched and he passed a prototype around for us to listen to out of his iPod. Can't believe what has happened with Beats since!

I’m in.

One of my favorite shell was made for effect audio.
I add some custom design I like also

Thanks for sharing! I notice that aesthetically there seems to be similarities in these IEM faceplate designs (those bits/flecks), I’m not a huge fan of it what I am hankering for is the jade design, I always want to push the buy button lol

@Rockwell75 I may be able to get an Annihilator to you. I’ll send you a PM

Edit: actually I can probably get X to you as well.

Anyone have direct EXT/KR5 comparisons?

They are excellent IEMs especially for anyone who appreciates good technicalities with top class upper mid range and treble. The Annihilator (I will not say X just because I do not own it anymore) is like the hummingbird of IEMs. It is fast and agile and sort of weightless, breezes through tracks, which for me makes them very good for electronic music.

Best in class PRaT and transients for me. I am liking it more as I listen to them, even after so many months, little things I thought were flaws melt away each time I up the ante on source, the latest is the v5i-D op amp upgrade to the amp. The bass, which was what I disliked most about it in the beginning, is slamming now as well, go figure...

They're from Ambient Acoustics. They piqued quite a bit of interest because they had insane driver counts; 16 in the MADD16 and 24 in the MADD24. This was back when multi-BA IEMs were king, and hybrids hadn't made a comeback yet. A lot of the feedback at the time, my own included, were pretty negative. But, there have been a few positive reviews since, claiming they'd been retuned. It looks like nothing's really changed since.

I was one of the positive reviews. I was on the Ambient Acoustics European tour and go to listen to the MADD10, MADD16 and the MADD24. I wasn’t that enamoured with the 10 or 16, but I thought the 24 was superb. I liked it so much I was close to buying one.

So grateful...I can't believe this is happening .

haha no, this is the least I could do for him. I'm lucky to be in a position to do this. His music tastes are all over the place, I couldn't pin a genre for him. From @Rockwell75's recent survey and my inquires to former/current owners, Indigo looked like the perfect set for him. Doesn't hurt that Indigo is a stunning set visually!

Aesthetics, fantastic imaging along with a balanced signature makes it a versatile set that I’m sure your dad will enjoy. Can’t wait to see the custom version and hear impressions!

I used to cook a ton before I went off to college as well. I rarely have the time, energy or willpower to do it nowadays, but I can still whip something up for special occasions every once in a while.

Magnificent plating and photographs @Deezel177!

 

[Badlands]

Amazing setup… looks like I’ll need to sort out my source soon.

Gorgeous VC and Pendant. I just can’t get the thought of the Kenzie V2 out of my head to pair with my Auteur.

Jimmy's interview on Howard Stern, about 5yrs ago, was one of the most fascinated stories I heard. And not just about his personal life, but going behind the scenes of the recording industry and music business. Today, I have no idea how record labels are still around and able to make money. Artist makes money from performances. But I'm not sure where the bulk of record label income comes from today. Streaming killed a golden goose for record labels.

Are you still involved in music industry?

Where's Waldo?

Not related to Interscope records but I've been listening to Rick Rubin's podcast that he started the other month with Malcom Gladwell called Broken Record. It's a really entertaining listen from a master music producer and has lots of interesting interviews with very famous musicians.
