ZMF Caldera arrived. This might be the perfect headphone for me. Sounds glorious, looks glorious. So clean. So deep.

Does anyone talk headphones around here?

This whole album is nuts... but I can't get this song out of my head. It's a bop and then some.

New Grumpy Goose stands arrived. Look good, feel good, smell good. Good wood.

Chime Oblivion, out 4/18 on Deathgod Records. Got my copy early and loving it.

More tubes! The Folkvangr arrived. This is some hot Schiit. Sounds fantastic with the ZMF Atrium, and what a glorious glow at night.

Couldn't tell you if they sound better... but tubes sure look cooler.

Happy President's Day to those who celebrate appropriately.

The Hard Quartet - a fantastic 2LP set from Stephen Malkmus, Emmett Kelly, Matt Sweeney, and Jim White.

One of my favorite finds in 2024.

I’ve sold the same iMac Pro twice now on eBay and the auction winners just bail. There’s no recourse, can’t even give negative feedback. When did eBay become shit? Is Buy It Now the only reasonable option for a seller?

The Bandcamp California Wildfire Relief Fundraiser ends in 10 hours... here's the album I can't quit listening to:

I was introduced to Corey Madden through his work with Ty Segall on Freckle. But this album just plugs straight into my soul.
Taste The Hour, by Corey Madden

I miss my headphones. Oh yeah, and my kids.

According to chatgpt's calculations, removing the mofi outer sleeves from my record collection would let me fit 200 more records in this (full) 5x5 Kallax. Considering it, weighing against the protection the outer sleeves give from ring wear.

ZMF Atrium arrived yesterday... this turned out gorgeous and sounds fantastic. Worth the wait.

For boring reasons (lossless, integration with local library, Siri support on HomePods, CarPlay, etc) I use Apple Music primarily. Lately I've found that lossless audio is real skippy with my M4 Pro Mac mini -> Bifrost 2/64. Going to try a different USB-C to B cable and see if that helps.

Celebrated a personal win by scoring a stabilized wood ZMF Atrium during this morning's drop. Can't wait to get this headphone in and try it out. So many gorgeous headphones dropped this ZMF November, but I have a soft spot for the natural looking wood with marble styled resin.

One of my favorite holiday traditions, the Beervent Calendar by Higher Gravity, with seasonal and interesting beers from all over the world. Do I peak and spoil the surprise? Or find out each morning when I pull one out to go in the fridge?

I peaked. Lots to be excited about!

Want a simple and pretty easy to understand breakdown of what actually makes an amp 'class A' / 'class AB' / 'class D'?

Lucas Harwood, Sam Ingles, Bec Goring, and Kyle Tickell's first record. Just came in, can't wait to spin this after this dumb meeting gets over.

What kind of animals wrap a pair of 7" records in brown paper and shove them in an 8"x8"x4" box?

Perfectly lovely animals who are sending me a replacement, thankfully.

And now, a stinker. Picked up a 600Ohm Beyerdynamic DT990 to hear with Schiit Valhalla 2 OTL amp and see why people like this headphone. It turns out they are deaf. Or just have a great EQ. Hard to listen to.

DCA E3, the best closed back headphone I've heard, for when you really don't want to hear the room noise in your office.

I don't think it sounds better than the Susvara, but I probably use it more, because of it's able to reduce outside noise.
Fantastic headphone!
November 16, 2024 at 2:50 AM
The Hifiman Susvara is insane-o. No other way to describe it. All of the qualities of the HE6 but bigger... wider... more detailed.

It's so good, and so comfortable. But for some reason I get nervous putting my best headphone on my head, and end up listening to other things. People are weird.
