even if a lot of the stuff i want is horribly expensive

tfw you can't buy conceptionally cool outdated tech

i need to get a copy of crypt of the wizard but it's such an important work that i can't find a copy under $30 shipped

for the cassette, and fuckin i _guess_ i could get the cd but that shit's not as cool

i already have a digital copy i want the cassette, yknow

spinning mirrors 🤢
spinning ropes 😍

also if i get the cd i don't want the remaster with ouroboros art, i want the collector's version with mortiis in the bat wings costume crouching in front of a blurry photo of a cathedral

and that's like 70 bucks

there's some bootlegs floating around for cheap but i want the real one

Get into Minidisc

Lax regulations make it so they can sell shit that kills people and shit in general. Don't think there waa anything inherently environment destroying about manufacturing tapes

@Lesi

Where's the kz zs10

lol kz

Dear

KZ is good brand

haters gonna hate kz best sound

huooh when will the fresh go to sale again

they did on 26/6

KZ is *donk*

So yeah after using those shitty ED15's for a couple weeks.

Worst KZ product. Might have good isolation but that's about it. They're not comfy, fucking driver flex up the goddamn arse, hardly any sub bass, and there's a weird spike at 7.4K just like the ZST's.

My TRN V20's still reign supreme over those shits.

kz sux

@Windatica thanks fam

Do you guys know any good 2.5mm to 3.5mm stereo cables?

just pick any

or better yet get adapter instead of cable

less points of failure (cord)

for example

(its just first one that got on my search)

@Windatica how about the kte s

I'll probably give that a shot since it's cheap af. I was just asking about a cable because I got some Sennheisers today and the cable it comes with is long af

sennheiser uses locking 2.5

you have to get a specific cable

yay one more reason to never touch sennheiser
