what does it fucking do???

what do we call end-game gear? *ultra high end*

```Air Supply System – A unique, adjustable tri-air suspension. The regulated automatic air suspension system can be set for the exact resonance point of the turntable and your equipment rack to achieve maximum isolation and stability. Extremely stable and quiet. The undertable chambers and air pods are set with a precision regulator, gauge and check valve. The air pods are coupled to the table in a way that maximizes isolation and rigidity and controls resonance.

pumpbox2016smIncluded is a very convenient oilless air supply (right) – very quiet and requires no maintenance. The air supply stays active so that the turntable is always ready to play – no need to wait for the air supply to come up to pressure. It is fully-automatic, temperature-controlled and hassle-free. A 100-foot roll of 1/4″ OD clear flexible plastic tubing are included so the air supply can be placed anywhere up to 100 feet away, even in another room.

```

oh it's for your turntable

muh analog

digital is just missing the crackling

i bet i gotta email for the preice

nvm

Proscenium Black Diamond V $110,000 USD

lol

6 figures

```One of the few reasons I consider myself truly blessed is the fact that I have a Walker Black Diamond V table and tonearm. Fitted out with a high end Koetsu and dialed in by the man himself, it is by far the best source component (not including analog tape) I have ever experienced. Having lived with the table for a few years now, it is also wonderful that like any precision instrument, slight improvements are easy to hear, and Lloyd’s steady stream of low cost tweaks to further trick out the table is the gift that goes on giving.

Not that you really need them. I have yet to hear my original table bested by another source. If I can’t have this in heaven, I’m not going.

https://www.gearbest.com/chargers-cables/pp_624234.html

https://www.gearbest.com/chargers-cables/pp_624232.html
$1.99/CBS7H

Looks decent those

first.. who has so many cables on their work table

second .. take those cables out what you dont use

i have like 5000 cables on my desk rn

and i use like almost all of them

that needs pictures

to be fair, this is right after i just built a new pc and ive been organising shit constantly

what the fuck

daer god what the fuck

i ...

_runs to puke_

im considering getting a pair

doubt they'll replace these but they seem interesting

We posting cable management?

Or lack thereof

oh yeah my kz zsr arrived last night

they're uhhh something

for the price I wouldn't say that they were bad, but like they've got kind of a u shaped sound signature

like fairly high extending lows and highs

but not a huge ammount of mids

sibilant depending on the track

definitely a side grade to most of the other kz earphones

(dont have any on hand to compare tho, gave them out to family/friends)

the kz bluetooth cable is suprisingly good with theese tho

getting better range than I get with the other kz earphones

drums sound noticably shit

like compared to everything else

what the fuck.. lmao

so i opened up the power supply to the phantom power

its literally just a transformer

two 20 awg wires connected to a transformer

i'm more confused than ever

that sounds about right

https://cdn.eeweb.com/articles/articles/48-v-microphone-supply-circuit-diagram-1366320170.GIF

is the general circuit used for those

& http://www.hansenaudio.se/Phantom%20PSU.jpg options

depends on how much you want filter/finetune the voltage going tru

someone rec me a cheaper version of this

hmm

i'll take a look

Guys what were the meme amplifiers again?

The two silver boxes

schitt?

About hand size and somewhat over a inch height each

Yes

Thanks so much

don't tell me you fell for the tube meme

No, I just had a discussion about it and didn't get the name.

Good ol' phantom power

You could probably find a reasonable drop-in AC adapter at a thrift store

And it'll be fairly easy to pick one up with UL or CSA approval to boot

>israel

>please use my affiliate

real goyim hours

nothing wrong with what he does tbh

ive hit peak chill

jet set radio live

in bed

with my xiaomemes

with foamies to insulate all outside noise

fucking kek

audiobudget is such a whiney shit

i notice that quite a few krauts act the same way

like a weird psuedo permanent taking of offence

i just go off random threads on head fi tbh

i use shilling links on my every purchase

doesnt cost me anything and it helps the tuber i watch

(he also does giveaways on the orders that used shilled link so thats a bonus)

headfi for recommendations is aids

lmao wtf

PLEASE GIVE ME MONEY

just set up a donation page on your website if you're this desperate

pateron plz

tbh that might actually be wotrh it

zeos for <#365921969004216320>

:^)

pls no

zeos is deaf as fuck

Are the ZS5 still worth it I'm not that much into audio

no

zs5 arent even that good

however they do have a decent BT cable

so i guess if you want BT get them?

then agai nyou prob could get a chepao kz iem and do the same thing

hektik>zeos

<:alismirk:230784726615588865>

it is true

i base all my audio decisions on zeos

omfg i hate his weeb backgrounds he uses

I imagine Zeos as an overweight weeaboo with no friends

I imagine that about most people associated with 4chan tbh..

<:tipsfedora:383326576609329162>

wow
gestapo
much jew

i don't blame him, there definitely is or was drama between head-fi and its sponsers and shit like this

i was going to type "i dont know why he doesn't just make a patreon" but the fucking iems he buys are like $20 and i assume his readers need every penny

imo he should just say "pls use affiliate links"

i'd be cool with that

or here's a thought: put it on his main website and not on a facebook group that probably gets a maximum of 200 views a day

unless the earphones were more expensive than somewhere else

it doesnt help that after he promotes, the prices go up

naturally yes, more demand = higher prices but then people will just resent him

24$ for ZS6

gogogogogoo

only pleb tier countries tho

rip

i really need a dac

build a grubdac

sick wolfson dac with good measures

and since its wolfson it doesnt need i/v conversion

mighty do lol

oh black edition is double the price

```Yes , we have a more extreme White Edition, but plz do not pay for them.

As they are exclusive for the guys who already have a Zen 2.0~and the nirvana is coming,

unless u just wanna ur Zen 2.0 black to be softer , I will say stay away from them for now.

if u r a current own of the Zen 2.0, feel free to email me [email protected].

```

lol

999$!!?!?

i presume placeohlder price

still though 350$ for this zen 2.0 black edition

rip off

they dont even say whats the difference between the black and normal edition

https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/venture-electronics-ve-zen-v2.21181/reviews

Anybody got a pair of ZSRs yet?

Think mine are arriving today

Hearing the difference now isn't the reason to encode to FLAC. FLAC uses lossless compression, while MP3 is 'lossy'. What this means is that for each year the MP3 sits on your hard drive, it will lose roughly 12kbps, assuming you have SATA - it's about 15kbps on IDE, but only 7 kbps on SCSI, due to rotational velocidensity. You don't want to know how much worse it is on CD-ROM or other optical media.
I started collecting MP3s in about 2001, and if I try to play any of the tracks I downloaded back then, even the stuff I grabbed at 320kbps, they just sound like crap. The bass is terrible, the midrange...well don't get me started. Some of those albums have degraded down to 32 or even 16kbps. FLAC rips from the same period still sound great, even if they weren't stored correctly, in a cool, dry place. Seriously, stick to FLAC, you may not be able to hear the difference now, but in a year or two, you'll be glad you did.

i wish my 0's turned into 1's :(

```due to rotational velocidensity```

they could have made this a lot better

they could have just said "background radation from space superimposes the atoms" or some shit

this is why i store all my music on flash storage

hard drives make the music sound too harsh and mechanical

while flash storage brings out the crisps highs and warmness

sandisk vs sony music storage for under $1?

crunchy lows

man i really want a solid silve iem calbe

i know they do 0

but still

wat

dont you want one

solid silver cable

or pure silvr

whatever its called

no

its just a cable my guy

conducts electricity n shit

http://www.thephonograph.net/KZ-ZSR-review

```No, the Beteran KZ ATE or Knowledge Base KZ ATE or Ze Electronics Co Ltd. KZ ATE or whatever they're called cannot be described as having any of the positive aural traits of an Etymotics or Noble Audio or Ultimate Ears or Westones or name your favorite high-end IEM – all which should feel fairly safe that audiophiles aren't going to start purchasing the KZ ATE instead of them.

But you can be sure that I'm going to recommend the KZ ATE to those who are never going to consider purchasing a set of upper echelon audiophile IEMs, or already have a pair of expensive IEMs but need a pair for a young family member, or as a back-up pair, or for someone like me who is fed up with losing their mid-level high-end but certainly decent set of IEMs. I just checked Amazon.com and they are no longer being sold for $15.53 but are at the time I'm writing this go for a ridiculously low $14 or thereabouts. I bought two more pair.```

@BIRDzone

guy has anyone tried the xiaomi ANC 3.5 jack headphones?

this one https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=562560604318&_u=t2dmg8j26111

also would this https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.1.3d629e59NAnUUe&id=532149315497&cm_id=140105335569ed55e27b&abbucket=14 fit a KZ ZS5? I like the ZS5 but it lacks isolation imo

These ZSRs are comfy as fuck to wear

Gonna listen to them with the X220 built-in sound, see what they're like

Holy christ, God knows how they got the earbuds on it though

Made the mistake of taking one of them off to see what the deal is and I can't get the fucker back off

On*

Yeah i got some spinfits with my kz, they're indeed pretty comfy.
Though the shopping sites always look memy as fuck.

I was gonna ask that

Whether anybody had tried them

Disappointed to report that the KZ Bluetooth cable is garbage

Unless you like listening to hiss in which case they are A+

@kylemd their QC is incredibly hit or miss so keep in mind it can differ

@Droidbot I'll have to try the second one I bought (for some reason) then and will report back
