    Heads-up - shameless plug and self-promotion for chriscables.nl

    It's been long-overdue but it's now finally in the making. Drop me a message there to find out when it goes live so you can raid your kids' piggybanks! :P chriscables.nl

    Trolling head-fi again.

    Well, I didn't get a ban, suprisingly. My post was removed though, predictably, along with a couple of other negative-leaning posts from others.. Lame. Also, predictably, comparisons are being made with the Sennheiser set. Imo they're not even in the same ballpark and I haven't even listened...

    Trolling head-fi again.

    The three aspects I quoted in my head-fi post are some of the most questionable I've ever seen for any headphones, ever. $38k 'Best ear in the business' - (hilarious) which derives from head-fi reviewer 'Goldensound', which in turn derives the endorsment name/moniker for this set; 'Golden...

    Trolling head-fi again.

    I'm asking for a ban after my numerous warnings there but this one was probably worth it. Who has the brass f@cking balls to come out of nowhere and ask $38k for a set of e-stats?? The hilarity

    Bruce 75 (yesterday)

    Now that's what i call 'longevity'. By the way, idk if it's the same over there in Murrca, but here in Europe I just noticed the rapid and unexplainable extinction of....bands. There are NO bands in the music charts, for what the shitty charts are worth in any case. Save for the hideous and...

    I didn't see any fire during the entire fireside chat. I feel cheated.

    Still on Win7x64 here. Using it for my business. No updates. No virus protection. No issues for 8 years. Store everything in the cloud with redundancy (dropbox/box).

    Totally gratuitous self-promotion. But maybe justified....

    The CMRR in the cable is only going to mitigate noise around it of course, not through it. Most folks over here in the EU are placing these behind multi-socket noise-filters behind the wall outlet however. PS Audio boxes seem to be a popular choice and Paul's take on braided cables was part of...

    Mag-dump fan channel

    While I'm sipping on a Guiness and flipping around Youtube this evening a channel popped up in my suggested feed that I instantly subbed. Weird-ass algorithms. Rats, wasps and mosquitoes can all get in the bin afaiac so this video was pretty entertaining. Mixed feelings about him taking out...

    Totally gratuitous self-promotion. But maybe justified....

    Hope this counts as a 'review' ...of sorts. I get a lot of positive feedback from customers who buy my cables, which is nice of course. But today I got a feedback that tops them all. Whether it's just perception, placebo or actually a real 'thing', cables can definitely make a difference when...

    TV LG or Samsung ?

    I have a 100Hz Sony Bravia 55incher that I bought in 2008 and it's still going strong. No dead pixels, no backlight imbalance, no errors etc. However, I don't watch TV either passively or actively - there are more important things to fill my time with in my opinion and so I only use it for...

    When the flare goes off in the Huey during the assault and Kilgore shows disproportionate over-concern for surfer Lance; 'It's just a flare, just a flare. Everyone allright? Lance, you alright?' Hilarious.

    One of the few films where I actually prefer the theatrical release to the director's cut.

    Cable capacitance. How low can YOU go?

    That's a good, clear write-up / explanation. Obviously using it for marketing purposes but then *kof* who doesn't? If only those measurement-obsessed turd-suckers over at ASR accepted it everything would be right with the world. But then, who gives a sh!t about them? :D

    Cable capacitance. How low can YOU go?

    Shielding can be implemented very effectively in different ways. The braided geometry of the cable forms an EMI/RFI shield via CMRR, hence braided/twisted cables without a traditional shield 'layer' are still very effective at shielding noise. CMRR forms the basis of many of my other cable...

    Dyson OnTrac. Dyson gets serious about cans.

    Simple answer to that is - not much :D I have about 40 pairs of headphones but none of them have ANC. Some are closed-back which obviously block out a lot of external noise but are no comparison to ANC. But my end-user requirement for an ANC headphone is very specifically to first be effective...

    Cleaning alu

    I remember seeing a carguy using a drill attachment consisting of long multiple polishing straps using it to get the brushed effect on a replacement alu panel for a DeLorean. Looked tricky to use but the net result was impressive.

    Dyson OnTrac. Dyson gets serious about cans.

    Don't know whether I'm just lucky or have a natural immunity but I've yet to contract Covid. I'm not vaxxed and have no intentions of getting vaxxed. Don't want to start a potentially polarizing debate but I'll just say that I take large doses of vitamin D everyday since that c0cksucker virus...
