"hey what if we sold just the crappy tv speaker by itself, but for like $200"

lmao

thats soundbars

why

because rich people are stupid and will buy stupid shit

i still find it funny that grado sells a cmoy for like 10 times the price

ye

most headphone amps over like $50 are just audiophool markup

all dacs aside from special purpose data aquisition or audio production equipment over $30 are audiophool markup

idk you get really nice cases

hahaha

a "measurably 100% mathematicall proveably perfectly recreates every sound a human can hear" dac is like $25 BOM to make a one-off, can be made for under $10/pop if you're buying in a "i am selling these to the public" scale

and even that's overkill because go ahead, try and find a song, audiobook, tv show, anything like that, with a dynamic range over 70dB, and also consider that 120dB dynamic range means that in a signal using the full dynamic range, if you can hear the quietest part of it, the loudest part of it will literally destroy your ears

I ended up buying the kz zs5, let's see what they're worth

yea ive ordered a pair

cool

i kinda want a pair to fuck with

yeah the whole dynamic range thing is funny

with silver cables since it wasn't that much more, and I had a coupon anyway

you know what's _really_ funny

i always laugh when vinyl autists argue that vinyl has a superior dynamic range

audiophool capacitors

omg vinyl

>vinyl >dynamic range superior to fkn anything

goddamn even a good quality compact cassette destroys vinyl there :v

half of it is the fucking noise floor

I actually bought my mother a turntable the other day

also >audiophiles think they can hear switching noise from smps in their equipment and linear supplies "sound better"

what is a lowpass filter

She was really happy

i like vinyl on an aesthetic level

vinyl is nothing more than a collectors item imo

im not gonna pretend it _sounds_ better lol

What's the deal with the QCY Q29 earphones?
