He's one of the most versatile and talented musicians of our generation-- he can do just about any genre well.

i bought and tested 64 audio u12t. I had high expectations for it as it was highly rated. And it actually delivered some pretty good experiences. and that experience ended when i tried to combine it with my lotoo Ti and the time i used u12t mostly with my macbook. i think it is suitable for u12t. u12t has many big details but lacks many micro details. and especially in the midrange, the serious lack of detail makes the vocals and instruments appear artificial and too "naked". Bass is good with modern music when it is present clearly and prominently. however, when listening to classical music. I found the position of the bass caused the track to become skewed and electrified. The only commendable point I see is a clean and balanced overall, the soundstage is too good. but do people find it a bit too "safe" to enjoy

and lianne la havas
I absolutely LOVE her. I have all her albums. And, I got to shoot her live in concert at Pohoda Festival a few years ago. She came out with just an electric guitar, by herself and rocked a crowd of thousands off their feet. She's incredible. I especially like her on Jacob Colliers Djesse 2 album.

Holy Cow. That is a $1000 cable? Good thing I like it. It is the only stock cable I use with any of my IEMs.
Indeed. Holy cow. But I do like that cable as well.

Congrats to Hawaii for making it to the Little League World Series championship game tomorrow remaining undefeated in the State, Regional and winners bracket. They play Curacao tomorrow who upset Chinese Taipei in the International championship game.

Hawaii for a small state has an amazing Little League Baseball program. Despite having the 40th largest population, it ranks number 5 all time in winning percentage and ranks number 2 in terms of US Championships with 6 only behind California's 15. In addition, The Hawaii team won the LLWS World Championship 3 times this millennium. 2005, 2008 and 2018. This is the most of any State in the Country.

Why are they so good?

1. Great coaching. Hawaii little league starts at a very young age at skills development and learning the fundamentals of the game.
2. Great public parks. Baseball is the one program where there are plenty of public facilities so that kids can play all over the islands
3. Great weather. Baseball is played all year around.
4. Private School participation. The best players go to private schools which are mostly aggregated in the same geographic location within 10 miles of Waikiki.
5. Culture of baseball. Just like volleyball, being a star baseball player is a highly prized status.

I'm currently listening to:

Venom + Indigo + M9 (M-Gain)

and I'm totally amazed at how good this pairing is!

That's why I replaced the Venom with First Time, then with Code 51 and then with Indigo stock cable and I always came to the same conclusion that the synergy with the Venom is perfect. Of course, all other cables also fit well with the Indigo, but I think the Venom is definitely the best with the Indigo + M9.

Truly an amazing cable! I can really recommend it.

For any DD lovers near the cooler, I talked about this model with wooden drivers (yup...) last year. Just showed up in the Classifieds. It's a famous model overseas. Well... Depends where you are I guess but how often do you get the chance to hear wooden drivers and even for a great price?

Not sure I would ever want a wooden driver. I will let you try them out and let us know.

I wouldn’t expect much— the fw10000 is the only one of the “woodies” that has been really successful.
