The 1812 Overture is meant to destroy speakers if played loudly. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

I've also only recently came across the threads....a great loss to both the forum and the audio community in general. I enjoyed both of their input on the forum, although I may not always have been in agreement, I certainly respected their input. I met Rodney at one of the GTG's at Francois'...

In Australia, the universities only teach for about 6 months of the year, which means most students can work part time and support themselves (partly).

I've crossed that line with the HE400i's already.  :whistler: The HD650's is on my radar, just have a few other priorities at the moment.

Not being a fan of very heavy rock, I've not listened to SYL. So I had it running on Youtube for a bit in the  background while reading the thread and opening some other songs, also in Youtube. Turns out all 3 were running at the same time, stopping 2 & 3 didn't make SYL sound any more...

I'd agree that they're not the last word in audio refinement, but pretty good non the less. From a few brief meetings with AT ATH M50X's I might actually prefer them to the HE400i's, but I wanted to own planar headphones for a bit.

Yep, that's the same balsa sheets we for boat building in CT. I'm pretty sure I can get you in touch with some local expertise on the matter if you need it.

Sully on Netflix Great drama/docu on the pilot who landed the passenger plane in the Hudson river in 2009. Damn....that's already a while ago and probably the last good news I heard from the US.  :facepalm:

I honestly try not to judge an album by it's cover, but this this one is never getting a spin. :BWAHAHAH:

Interesting stuff. From memory the 'made for purpose' composite cores are very expensive as mentioned. Something to keep in mind with balsa is that it needs some sanding etc. before laminating on a curved surface, adding to cost and affecting consistency. This should be adequately taken care of...

I love 'Way down deep' as well. I put it through Audacity's analyzer and afaik that drum is only sitting around 50Hz. I thought it was a bit deeper though. For a good skrik, try Rodrigo y Gabriela's Hanuman off 1:1 and set the amp to 12 o'clock.  ;D It doesn't quite have the impact it had in...

Chem Eng may be dead in a dead economy, but its one of the highest paying prefessions in the US according to the World Economic Forum. http://2oqz471sa19h3vbwa53m33yj.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/college-degrees-salary.png The real money in the future (in the 1st world...

Classic cars, hifi, watches, etc are all enthusiast items. With an ever shrinking world (courtesy of eBay and the like) countries with less favorable ROC and smaller upper middle class and above citizens will definitely loose out. You will find those items will continue to leave the country...

As far as headphones go, I see myself as a novice. So far I have owned a few back headphones (AKGs,JBL,Bose) and a stack of ear-channel phones before I got the Hifiman HE400's. Of the lot, without a doubt, the Hifiman is the best build and, predictably, sounds the best too. It's still a long...

Thanks, I didn't know that. [emoji106] Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Those fun speakers came out looking lovely. How's the xo build going? Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

RIP Avicii - I enjoyed a lot of his stuff. Looks like I successfully made it past the stage where I could be young and successful.

Those are some fine looking cabs! Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Mine doesn't block out people talking, which is actually pretty useful. I luckily haven't had the screaming kid scenario for the 3months I them. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Nice set-up fdlsys. Are you enjoying the Linn speakers enough to not go back to the panel speakers? Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
