yeah what sad lad said

2018-05-22 01:08:44 UTC

i'd prob upgrade to hd 600 at some point too

2018-05-22 01:08:45 UTC

and yeah lsr305

2018-05-22 01:09:19 UTC

HD 600 was on my list for a while

2018-05-22 01:09:32 UTC

You don't have hd memes, ben?

2018-05-22 01:09:38 UTC

I'm a bit disappointed

```As crazy as it seems. Silver cables actually need a full burn in for them to sound correct. This is coming from a guy that is a engineer working for space X by the way. Guy knows his sound and actually made a few silver cables for me. I would just let music play through the cable connected to a phone for a while.

From my own experience with silver. They don't change a lot in sound characteristics but do get more mellow in tone after the burn in while retaining a higher detil of whatever phone they are attached to. Look forward to how you hear your HK6 using them.

Silver brings better dynamics for the HK6 and slight increase in detail as well. Love how silver cables sound on the HK6.``` @Deleted User

>tfw I actually wanted to study audio engineering

2018-05-22 01:10:40 UTC

wat

2018-05-22 01:10:56 UTC

audio engineering is mixing tracks and stuff/mastering

2018-05-22 01:10:56 UTC

Where do even got all those copypasta from?

2018-05-22 01:11:05 UTC

not making speakers/headphones and snake oil products

2018-05-22 01:13:05 UTC

idk what i would have done ifi seriously wanted to get into audio

If you're no dum dum, i definitly recommend some kind of meaningful engineering. Pays good and good jobs before your degrees

2018-05-22 01:14:23 UTC

dont do audio engineering tho lmao

2018-05-22 01:14:23 UTC

Ahh, i'm turning off-topic

2018-05-22 01:14:24 UTC

shit pay

@Deleted User oh yeah h ave you ever went on 6moons

2018-05-22 01:15:06 UTC

if you want to become a serious audio reviewer

2018-05-22 01:15:09 UTC

the review2ers there are the guys to copy

2018-05-22 01:15:40 UTC

I think he corrected to accoustical engineering?
Shouldn't be too bad. Also chance of engineering next best KZs <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

"The Rhodium-based Classic exhibited extended smooth highs but also threw a little extra energy and intense liquidity into the mid through upper mids to spotlight instruments within this range."

2018-05-22 01:15:45 UTC

guess what he's talking about

2018-05-22 01:16:05 UTC

"The high frequencies on the Gold were smooth and detailed but proportionally downplayed slightly in comparison to the cableโ€™s mild prominence in the mid through lower mids. Overall the Classic G was big, expansive and airy, with attention directed a little lower in the spectrum. Instrumental positioning and soundstaging were pushed back a little in comparison to the Rhodium version, with the exception of instruments in the lower spectrum. Those were slightly enhanced in size and weight, thus given a little extra forward projection."

2018-05-22 01:16:24 UTC

Ye, I meant to say "acounstical engineering" at first but my <:downs:355737951918882846> took over

2018-05-22 01:16:28 UTC

Just cables?

2018-05-22 01:16:32 UTC

power cable

2018-05-22 01:16:40 UTC

Geez

2018-05-22 01:17:02 UTC

6moons always has the most pretensious prose ever

2018-05-22 01:17:31 UTC

As if the name wasn't pretentious already

2018-05-22 01:17:41 UTC

Na, there was definitly a worse one

2018-05-22 01:18:59 UTC

Do I need anything in particular to drive the HD 600?

2018-05-22 01:19:04 UTC

I forgot

2018-05-22 01:19:04 UTC

eh a amp can be helpful

2018-05-22 01:19:24 UTC

id suggest getting a decent one sooner than later but honnestly it wont be "damn these sound amazing now"

2018-05-22 01:19:37 UTC

Alright

2018-05-22 01:19:47 UTC

Haven't been looking into audio shit in a while so I'm rusty as hell

2018-05-22 01:19:55 UTC

Is this memes

2018-05-22 01:20:37 UTC

no this is a real audio review

2018-05-22 01:20:37 UTC

Definitly

2018-05-22 01:20:48 UTC

im not joking this is a serious audio review

2018-05-22 01:21:08 UTC

I must be too stupid to understand the intricacies and deepness of audio

```Our beloved tunes are reproduced by a stack of electronics all connected with a few metres of wire. Power cables, interconnects, loudspeaker cables; you name it, there they are often in abundance yet all necessary to excite the air around us, be it the air trapped in our ear canals by a headphone or the air in our listening den. As humans, our hearing depends for the most part on the interaction between eardrum and inner ear with the air that surrounds us. Additional stimuli come from our skin and bones. All this is essential for survival. We had to hear the sabre-tooth tiger in the high grass approach, sense its direction and distance relative to us. Today the tiger might be a car or a bicyclist on a sidewalk coming upon us from behind.

2018-05-22 01:22:08 UTC

Are they getting paid by the word or what

2018-05-22 01:22:42 UTC

i got no idea how 6moons pays its writers

2018-05-22 01:22:50 UTC

they prob just do it for the free stuff

2018-05-22 01:23:23 UTC

@Windatica remember that random wooden box one

2018-05-22 01:23:25 UTC

like

2018-05-22 01:23:28 UTC

that had 0 impact of the sound

2018-05-22 01:23:31 UTC

yet cost 10000$

2018-05-22 01:23:31 UTC

oh shit

2018-05-22 01:23:32 UTC

They get paid in opium

2018-05-22 01:23:35 UTC

So they write more

2018-05-22 01:23:35 UTC

Isn't that essentially saying "Don't listen to music, you need your ears in case a tiger attacks" ?

2018-05-22 01:24:34 UTC

oh it's not 6moons

2018-05-22 01:24:36 UTC

there you go

2018-05-22 01:24:38 UTC

tfw this is the audiophile version of Christians

2018-05-22 01:24:47 UTC

that box costs $10000

```Lacking a manual, I have had to rely on email communication from A. J. van den Hul himself to explain what the Extender is about. Here are his comments, edited lightly for continuity.

"The Extender.

Listening to reproduced sound by any loudspeaker system in all kinds of listening situations made it clear to me that in the sound reproduction of a typical audio system, something essential was missing. That was the feeling of being really physically in the concert hall or jazz cafรฉ.

The creation of The Extender was based on the search to find this "lost" live experience in any sound reproduction.

However, The Extender produces no sound-field, is therefore literary no super-tweeter. You cannot measure or hear any sound coming from The Extender.

The Extender emits a signal which communicates direct with the brain. Limited loudspeaker performance, colored acoustics, or even some ear defects are hereby bridged. These acoustical limitations in sound reproduction do therefore play no essential role anymore.

The sonic effect after connecting The Extenders is that the reproduced sound has suddenly natural space, depth, a very high definition, and an easy listening. You have the feeling you are facing the musical performance. You are "live" and "there," which was the aim for the creation of The Extender.

```

2018-05-22 01:25:42 UTC

oh right

2018-05-22 01:25:56 UTC

Lol wat

2018-05-22 01:26:01 UTC

i clicked on this guy's profile and i didn't understand why he had an *air supply system*

2018-05-22 01:26:03 UTC

Why is this a thing

2018-05-22 01:26:16 UTC

yeah that air supply system thing

2018-05-22 01:26:21 UTC

That plastic on the cable even

2018-05-22 01:26:26 UTC

Probably to not suffocate on his chromosomes

2018-05-22 01:26:41 UTC

T4 was right

2018-05-22 01:27:10 UTC

tfw you will never have truely sonically stunning audio equipment by 459`ghaasdkf audio system labs

2018-05-22 01:27:22 UTC

you need dac monoblocks

2018-05-22 01:27:37 UTC

i foudn there was too much crosstlak with a normal stereo dac

2018-05-22 01:27:45 UTC

why do these people exist

2018-05-22 01:28:22 UTC

```
In our experiments with cable types, CAT5e outperformed CAT5 in tonality and staging. The e-type had more foundation in the lower frequencies and more micro detail for better stability of the virtual stage with more depth and width. We've lived happily with that for a long time. Then came Karol with his StavEssence Eloquence and boy how persuasive his cable proved to be. In the home, Ethernet is comparable to 115/230V power. Before the AC signal arrives, it has traveled through miles and miles of power cables thick and thin and has been transformed several times. After this long journey during which the 50 or 60Hz signal gets bombarded by EM noise, it might present as fairly clean at the wall socket. Still, music lovers have noticed that the final metre to our precious equipment can make a lot of difference. High-frequency pollution in a power cable only travels a short distance. Mother Nature takes care of the attenuation. If high frequencies wanted to travel long distances over wires, intermediate amplification boosters would be needed. With this natural high-frequency roll-off, we needn't worry about noise entering our power line 100 miles away from our home. By the time it reaches us, that noise is gone. We should worry about noise injected close to our audio gear. If at that point we introduce a noise-canceling power cable, we can hear the difference. Mind you, much of the gear in our audio racks is its own source of unwanted noise.```

2018-05-22 01:29:12 UTC

??

2018-05-22 01:29:35 UTC

tfw not even your ethernet cable can reproduce good sound

2018-05-22 01:29:46 UTC

<:bleach:264926641359290368>

2018-05-22 01:29:54 UTC

i remember reading somewhere that if you're a poorfag an ethernet cable is a nice cheap way to make a decent 3.5mm cable but that sounds absolutely awful

2018-05-22 01:30:14 UTC

regular cablei sc heap enough tbh

2018-05-22 01:30:29 UTC

so yeah thats the goal of being a audiophiel

2018-05-22 01:30:55 UTC

i think just going to musical preformances is cheaper than perversion

2018-05-22 01:31:31 UTC

naim stuff at least the entry level sut ff isnt that badly priced tbh

2018-05-22 01:31:44 UTC

they do a nice all in one streaming device thing (includes amp) for 1150gbp
