DMS emphasizes tonality/FR to his HRTF over technicalities which many staff from headphones dot com deemed as a function of FR peaks and dips, basically tuning design choices and not resolving power (which to some of the headphone dot com staff does not exist) of the porta-fi system as a whole (DAP, cable and IEM synergy)
And just like that I need to rethink everything I've ever believed about you....Don't worry, I'm a vegetarian

You're not left-handed as well, are you?

I’ve been very happy with my Trifecta + WM1Z setup; I was not looking to improve it in any way because everything I’d tried to change upset what seemed a natural, effortless balance one way or another. Until this.
Trifecta + WM1Z + NiceHCK GreenGod
Compared with the stock cable, it’s almost like a camera lens snapping into focus. Bass and mids are markedly more textured and focused, drops have more weight and density to them. It also has a transparent quality in how it cleans up the stage, makes layering and positional cues more defined without losing the tasty decay or otherwise compromising the Trifecta-1Z alchemy. It’s frankly quite addictive.
The GreenGod is part of a small batch of prototypes recently released by NiceHCK as part of their (relatively) higher end cable range. NiceHCK have been on form lately but even so, I hadn’t actually perceived this one to be one of their best ones prior to this, or expected it to play so well in this league. But synergy matters, and here it is on full display.
Main drawback is it’s offered in 2-pin only. Even with an adapter, I see myself reaching for this time and again with the Trifecta. And I don’t even like fabric cables. Seriously tempted to get it reterminated in MMCX. Even though most of the rest of my IEM collection takes 2-pin.

"My" Arabian horse, picture took this Friday. It is the descendant from Kellogg family's Arabian horses.
The MEST series keeps getting better! The Mk3 is a solid all-rounder under 2k.

Are you riding the horse yourself?

No, the Kellogg family donated their Southern California family ranch to the state government with several conditions, one of which is our taxpayers money will be spent to have those Arabian horses live happily forever.
Anni23 are made for heavy metal
Horses are a whole other level of spend! Compared to audio it strikes me like going from cars to private jets! Enjoy!

Kentucky Derby in the future?
No, not officially. If I had to guess though, I would say 80% of it would be the same as last year, with the other 20% accounting for recent new releases (Audio-Technica, RAAL, etc.).
