Next step for you now is to get some pads. There are tons of aftermarket options to choose from nowadays.

Currently I'm using focus pads + some damping that I did to bring up the upper mids a bit, but I should be getting 4 sets of pads in the next few weeks, all sort of oddballs (perforated leather, really deep leather, flannel HM5 hybrids, and weird denon-like focus pads)

These are great speakers: https://www.kijiji.ca/v-pro-audio-recording/winnipeg/u15-speakers-yorkville-passive/1310466831
Meant for PA, but can work well for home too. I run mine bi-amped.

oooh, those look interesting, but I'll wait until I've got my headphone measurement rig set up. I've been looking into a lot recently and minidsp just released the EARS

https://www.minidsp.com/products/acoustic-measurement/ears-headphone-jig

It's currently in preorder but if it's good enough, it could be a very useful tool for headphone modding, especially at such at its pricepoint.

Whereas I just read this article which was too intense for me...

Hey guys, I've got a couple roommates moving out of my place (Fort Richmond), so if you know anybody looking please send them my way.

Oh, those look cool. You've heard them, Nathan?

Agreed, they do look cool. I've been thinking about picking up some speakers like that for a while, but haven't pulled the trigger on anything.

I heard them years ago, and used to own one of the successors. Yorkville is a very no nonsense Canadian company who makes good stuff.
Here are some specs: http://yorkville.com/legacy/product/ysm1/
For a hundred bucks I don't think you can go wrong with them assuming they're in good working condition.

For anyone playing around with bi-amping speakers, this is probably one of the best bang-for-the-buck active crossovers you can get (and one of the very very few Behringer products I will ever recommend)

Also, here's an active version of the monitors I linked earlier:

It's a great deal, though a little banged up.

Interesting option for anyone who does podcasts or similar: https://www.kijiji.ca/v-pro-audio-r...essional-broadcast-headset-and-mic/1312988175

Long & McQuade Black Friday sales...

https://www.long-mcquade.com/promo/BlackFriday2017/Winnipeg-North-Black-Friday-2017.html

Of particular note to my eyes are the E12 speakers at the North location. Stupid good for $99/each.

I kinda want the 608 sub, but I need a matched pair.

Yet more kijiji finds! This time, a Beyerdynamic DT770M: https://www.kijiji.ca/v-pro-audio-r...0-m-closed-back-monitor-headphones/1316719595
For anyone who needs a high degree of noise isolation and doesn't like earplugs or iems, this is arguably one of the best options available before going into active noise cancellation.

Finally got some mesh for my HE-6, must say it looks wonderful

on another note, is anyone interested in a meet sometime during December? It's been quite a while since the last one.
