And when they finally play together at tournaments they F it up.

No, they don't... I'd say more, they miss that lucky 1%. They had a tremendous team in the '98 World Cup.
Others had it, too...They lost to amazing Brazil in the semifinals. And then to Croatia for the Bronze medal.
But Croatia had the best team in its history in '98. And what to say about France? They had an unbelievable team, but also 1% of that luck.
I loved the Holland team in the '90s and their orange dresses.

Cheers!

'98? That was in a previous milennium!! For some reference: It was in the same milennium as the plague, Vikings, the invention of the printing press (at least in the West), and the fall of Constantinople. What's your point?

Hahaha...that was the time when football and other sports were still great...I was a huge fan of watching all sports since I was a kid. Not anymore, I stopped following almost every sport around 2006. I do follow MMA (UFC), snooker, and ski jumping occasionally... everything else has changed a lot, and it wasn't fun for me... that's why '98...THaT was MY poINT!!!

Cheers!

For most of us here who have ammassed Multiple IEMs, cables, ear tips, and then expanded their DAP with add on Dacs & portable Amps, there have been far and few portable case options to put them all together.

I have been looking into portable case solutions which would hold more, but most would need partitions as they aren't many ideal solutions.

So if anyone is interested, I listed a bunch of possible options in this other thread.

Yes, unfortunately, now it is not sport anymore. Football now is a business. Some guys are running around, kicking the bal, pretending that someone hit him, shooting a goal from the penalty and what? He is happy as a new born unicorn. A joke. This people earn more than some villages will ever see. Sick world.

For those of you planning to send private parcels over $800 to the US using DHL, I just learned DHL doesn't accept this any longer. Business to business still works, and I'm assuming under-declaring private parcels does too. Wouldn't be surprised if other couriers follow suit. As far as I understand it's because of the time consuming new procedure that can add up to 4 days extra.

This is lifted now according to DHL.

I bought the IE900 on the 10th of May 2021 so not far off 4 years ago - a set I still absolutely adore and sounding spectacular via the CA1000T on hybrid tube mode.

Listening to…

Do you detect any noise from ca1000t?

 

[Scubadevils]

Do you detect any noise from ca1000t?

I did on one set so far, but I can’t recall which one Just a very low hiss, I do know it was a BA set and think IER-M9 so I’ll try again during the week.

I get hiss on VE10 with the CA1000t…. But I get hiss with practically everything with the VE10 except for the cayin n6iii with the cirrus logic board.

BC purchase everytime you post something, but this time will have to wait for Friday. Need to show my support to all of those wonderful indie artist

Got myself a DX 320MAX TI yesterday, but even that beast needs maximum gain to get the Duality's (I have a set on loan) to a decently loud volume. I am no sound engineer, but it perplexes me how an IEM can require essentially the same sort of power needed to drive something like a Susvara! These are FUN though, the bass is addictive of course, but also I find these are musical without the shouty-ness and piercing treble I experience on some other IEMs.

Sharing my excitement with a dirty photo to show an old broken heart just got healed. L&P P6P HK is now spreading smoothness around this home.

Plus a new contender for Nipo A100.

What is your impression of the A100?

 

[GiullianSN]

What is your impression of the A100?

It's a really nice and well built device, with clean and clear sound with minimal coloration. It is quite impressive for what it targets (dongle world), but its still a big dongle. Lots of power (600mW).
User interface is something to get used to (a few switch combinations to start charging, turn on, change gain and change filter) and I think it could have been done better.
