majority of peripherals are most often preference
bluetotoh for iems
you bounce around things so much
bruh

any1 know about these?
what
@tight pulsar indeed
Okay, just wanna say that.... AEKII>Model M....that is all.
we dont know yet bc nobody else has them but probably slightly worse than ks3/ink
hence why i said that
wat is ks3
wish ks3s were available on more sites
if those cap switches are p good, they might be a good alternative
???
for instance, rap and sometimes clairo or something
@last plinth cntrl if you listen to alot of Clairo, youre gonna need to get something warm and more on the low-end
her mixing is geared towards that sound profile
indie op
the way Immunity is mixed sounds so intimate its really unique
So 6xx?
6xx on some tubes would sound so lush
or 58x's
or if you wanna go closed some 99 Noirs
Immunity would sound so good on those cans
@tacit wing so like how much cans u got
NAW
uh huh
you are the bigges whale on this channel lance
you bought two mice
a phone
and what
in a span of like 2 days
im no hardware man all i play is csgo and genshin
tell me all of them all i knwo is u have 58x and 38x and 5xx cominga
naw i dont need a 38x
the wants in my life op
nope lol when did i say that
no slander btw i like that game
lol
Alien X Ben10 would wash Goku
bruh i k
i stopped watching the newer ben 10 stuff so idek who that is
i got so used to the warmness of my Sennheisers its soooo weird hearing this much treble
even HM5's cant balance it out
oooh whatre those
my cheap extended mouse pad comes today lmao
you definitely need warm cans for Clairo cntrl bc i dont like it
6xx good?
@brisk parcel m40x's
ahh
@last plinth yes
yes 6XX v good
heard that stock pads on the m40s are garbo
@hazy fiber can testify
with some tubes. clairo would sound soooo warm
no
go for the LD, more tubey
yes
ok
Vali is a hybrid which i dont hear much good about
Little Dot Tube Amps: Vacuum Tube Rolling Guide
A quick introduction: Who is this guide for? (plus some background)
When I purchased my first Little Dot amplifier in 2005 I was in a position many of you are in now. I was new to high end headphones, and curious abou...
read this
this guy tries a TON of tubes and tells you what he likes/doesn't like/unique characteristics
yes?
broo
one wireless
6 cans?
and one razer headset
Ninja i cant understand the article
I dont know what im looking for in tubes
Gaming tube
Yes, 6XX very good 🙂
and i dont even sue my earbuds
bruh Gaming tube amps 
so liek all i use is razer headet
Razer is taking notes rn
what do you want me to explain?
gaming tubes
oof
Tubes best for gaming
oh god
all i have rn are coolermaster mh752s and blon 03s
Is what i mean
lmao
like high bass or treble
okay so you can understand it cntrl it's really easy
nope i personally wouldnt use warm cans for competitive gaming
i need to hear those footsteps sing
the bass just drowns those out
lemme copy/paste a tube from that list and explain
Ninj do you game with your Little Dot?
Reason: Duplicated text
oof fortnite has ray tracing now?
lmao
imagine all the 12 year olds gettin rtx cards for it
Heh.
LMAO
They wouldnt even use rtx on fortnite
lol
3090 for fortnite
2.4 Mullard M8161/CV401
Focus is the word. This mil-spec version of the Mullard CV131 is one of the best sounding EF92 tubes around. It brings to the table all of the fine qualities of the Mullard CV131 and adds to it a background so extraordinarily quiet you will actually notice the silence between notes. A low noise floor lets details stand out, and music with female vocals in particular is presented with a magical sense of focused intimacy that draws you in and makes you feel as if the singer is standing right next to you, singing into your ears with all the inflections and emotions preserved. Overall this tube is well balanced and ‘audiophile’ sounding and is one of my personal favorites.
Bass: 19
Mid: 18
Treble: 19
Detail: 20
Soundstage: 19
Total: 95/100
PLZ WORK
3090*
Sure their parents are happy about that one
i will get 3090 so i can play csgo at 1280 x 960 stretched
3090 bottleneck
I see
woah you can notice the silence between each notes
I also want something u can game in
the description is just that, a description
And dino said warm=bad gaming
@last plinth u are liek old me
not BAD
remmeber old me
Or prefer not to*
now at the BOTTOM is key
all i ask about was gaming headset headhones
and gaming dacs and sound cads
@tacit wing do u remember
I see bottom
backin the old days when i was 12
That moment when your phone is about the same width as your TI-94 calculator and you grab it by mistake --> confusion
okay cntrl listen closely
that score is out of 20, and how well it does it. naturally tubes are "warmer" but this adds that silence that you can hear, so you'll hear the subtle differences in volume so that you can really take advantage of volume changes and whatnot
so a 19/20 across most of those is good
now, if you go look at some of the other tubes, read their descriptions, find one you like
NOT based on score
and if you get the LD, tube rolling kits can be found online for like $50 that will give you like 6 matched pairs of tubes that you can try and see which ones you like best
Dino said he doesnt like the bass drowning out the sound of treble
you'll hear it all just fine
and yes dino I game on my LD
Mmmmm ❤️❤️❤️
So nice and warm and fuzzy
nzxt case
any reason for the low profile cooler ?
Silverstone, and yes actually I had a reason
A long time ago reason
spins real fast tho
was it an itx build at one point
it wasnt, you'll laugh at the reason
oof
my mom controlled my life 5 years ago
it was the one thing she was so insistent on that it was stupid
somebody help
Yeah
good thing i like compact cases anyway
also 2020 is like NOT the move
Like that’s not a lens flare
Come on send
Looks like it doesn’t want to
no
gusy whos good at math here
what is that
well it's the moon
And dino said warm=bad gaming
@last plinth ok look, i didnt say warm = bad, i said i had a preference for brighter highs for gaming
keyword ***preference ***
the game i play alot which is csgo, its footsteps are a bit trebly
so of course i would go towards that sound profile
whos good at math in here
i cant get into csgo
i need help
although i play valorant
7 quesions
i actually like the look of this
and there is a bunch of dif colors
also dino I put 2 bangers in the playlist go look
7 quesions
@normal barn I can help up to Calc 2 and a bit of Calc 3 related to Physics
@timber ridge lowkey I agree
tbh rgb mouse mats are cool but
they can get kinks and not lay flat
I want a corsair one with rgb and QI charging
I had the razer one and I returned it after 2 weeks cause it just got worse and worse and I tried to fix it and I just couldn't
does corsair make RGB mouse mats
rgb mousepads jus mean more wires on ur desk
I feel like that isn't too much to ask considering they sell QI wireless mice
yes
yep
I thought they only made mousepads
I thought they only made mousepads
Oh, mousepads, my b
bro that's easy
8th grade alegebar 1 to be precise
I can do that
help
qi charging would be cool if your mouse supports it
Yeah, sure
with work shown
if its for your phone i feel like itll jus get in the way
gah
we could walk you through it
qi charging would be cool if your mouse supports it
@timber ridge Dark Core Pro SE is QI
Im in school rn
It's pretty nice for gaming actually
after having a lightweight mouse
its wayyy too heavy for gaming
i hve a viper mini for gaming and g502 for productivity
honesty the main reason why i went with the Viper Mini is bc i dropped my sens dramatically
i needed the lighter weight than my 203
its wayyy too heavy for gaming
@timber ridge I game with my DPI really high and barely move my mouse 🙂
this is suppsoe to be ez
Cholax focus on ur hw
ik
i need help
i have 3 assignment this being one of them
due in like less than 2 hrs
i need help with this one
then i can get started on my art and ela to kill a mocking bird annotations
im debating if i wanna swap my note 20u for a 12 pro max
@timber ridge I game with my DPI really high and barely move my mouse 🙂
@hazy fiber if anything a heavier mouse is better for that
dino what dpi do u play at
@hazy fiber if anything a heavier mouse is better for that
@tacit wing I know, that's why the dark core is perfect for me
watch Khan Academy
i play at 800
anything below 1600 feels sluggish to me
if i didnt play FPS games my dpi would be 1600
My dpi is like 800
mine is 3200 lmao
I literally barely move my mouse half an inch lol
and then someones goes on balcony
flicked to his head and rolled his ass
I got in a match with stewie2k before
whats ur in game sens cntrl
its definitely a learning curve but i went from nova 1 to LEM
do you still play cs or more valorant?
you sue?
while i troll in among us
he's on the "5XX are a reskinned deva clone" train without even listening himself
@brisk parcel because it physically us rhe same driver and chasis... if something is physically completely the same then unless new physics apply to it then it will act the same too and yoh can tell that without hearing or measuring it. It also happens to measure the same so there is that...
@tacit wing legitmatly i lay quake chamions fortnite among us
Dino i would love to play with u
and sometimes mobile games
@tacit wing well for one
u cant alt tab oout of valorant
its freeze ur pc
U can?
or just my laptop
I alt tabbed all the time
lol
and also
its uhh 5v5 yet like so long
for game to end
i like quake champions
for a reason
i dont mind him as long as he has actually correct info, but hes the kinda that just looks at graphs and numbers and doesnt actually look at personal experience or actual usage (the whole atom amp and hersey vs 3+ have difference in the graph when the review couldnt even tell them apart once)
@tight pulsar the graph was ondistortion so unless you have a high detail headset and a high quality recording you shouldn't be able tk tell the difference based on the graph (other than the heresy being more trebbke heavy)
yeah
i prob wont be able to tell the difernce between them
@normal barn you will because they have a really unique and distinct sound stage no matter how bad your files are or how bad your equipment is but they are not a comfortable sound unless you love highs
and thats the main difference with the atom/3+ afaik so with a mid range pair of headphone there shouldnt be much difference?
your cans will be the heaviest factor in sound signature
Ninja
hm
So what amp
I did recommend the 58X to him
@brisk parcel and this you shouldn't do as again it is in every category worse than cheaper options...
gonan get 5 xx
@normal barn I advise against that as that also has cheaper options that best it in basically every category

bro idk how many times I have to tell you that I think they're leagues better than the 559, go look at reviews, what more do you want?
anyway, cntrl
there are plenty of good options
do you wanna go the tube route or stick with solid state?
I do not know
we've had this conversation many times before
still going to recommend you stick with what we picked out
heresy?
the littledot, but the heresey is fine too
the ORIGINAL thing we picked out
schiit stack, atom stack or LD is a good place to start
i didn want that
^
Ok
solid state could be safer route if you get other headphones down the line
schitt atom or ld tho
@brisk parcel 2 sides of magnets wouldnt work with a plannar or dynamic because then charging it would just leave it stuck and neither of the images you sent were accurate
Im actually not sure
it's your pick, but you'll have the most fun with tubes
atom stack a direct competitor of the Schiit stack
I think i should just get “gaming” headphones and call it a day
uhh its ur opionion
@normal barn I'm talking objectively unless you like the metal tamber
@last plinth dont go with schiit
just go simple get pc38x and apple dongle for gaming 
They are high heavy which is terribke for your rout as the 880 is already high heavy
apple dongle op
And they are high distortion and not too great at detail
Which defeats a lot of the 880's advantage
bright highs are fantastic for gaming so thats a plus
okay so
@last plinth ok so get the pc38x
no
@tacit wing they actually aren't especially once they become sibelant
@brisk parcel how do you think a plannar works
They work in the same way as a dynamic in principal
Ac current goes through the copper traces (instead of a coil) and then pushes a thin membrane away from the magnet as those traces create a small magnetic field
If you surround it then it pushes on moth ends and then the driver just stays in place
kee bord
Reason: Bad word usage
Which would require a ton of power and not be a plannar
Now
But none of this matters cause the image you sent just isn't accurate
They both have 9 straps of the same magnets pushing the same copper pattern on the same membrane
With the same sound signature
Same sound stage
so youre saying the manufacturer is wrong
Same imaging
What are u saying
Fortnut why dont u get hired and make the perfect headphones
look at that
do you have both cans in-hand right now Fortnut?
@last plinth why dont you make up your mind and select what parts you want?
@last plinth I am studying computer engineering and not audio engineering but im pretty good at amp design
Can u code ur own cpu
Note the position of the horizontal bars (magnets) relative to the empty oval pieces (diaphragm). The magnets are positioned on either side of the diaphragm, front and back, this is a dual sided magnet structure.
Because dual sided magnetic structures produce more precise diaphragm motion, which translates to otherwise unattainable detail through the mid range, high end, and upper octaves (“air”). Sub-bass also manifests in unique ways, HE-500 reviews cover this at length.
"dual sided wouldn't work"
cntrl what headphone do you use rn btw
a bad headphone
Cpus arent code but if you mean can I design a cpu through my understanding on cpu microarchitecture then yes
its like some onikuma hing
Thing
I got it in amazon for like 20$
the mic always crackled and echoed
so, yes, it is dual sided
what kind of music do you typically listen to, besides ofc that you also play games
Rap
https://drop.com/buy/drop-hifiman-he5xx/talk#discussions look in there for yourself
scroll down a little
whole comment explaining
Like juice wrld or something
don't assume that it's just "incorrect"
@brisk parcel it isnt the he500 on any piece, it is only 9 magnets, it isnt dual sided, that wouldn't add to detail, and the he500 isn't either
i like purr1n's threads
if it isn't dual sided
explain the diagram
never said it was the he500 at all
just read it
and here's the second part
They slso share the same sensitivity. You know why? Same 9 magnets pushing on the same copper pattern pushing the same diaghram
Why did you send a 480p image?
which is also why I referenced that
because I printscreen'd it because I'm lazy
and will not take the time to do it the right way, click "open orignal" and zoom in
come now, you are both adults, please behave like it
Use snipping tool
no need for the pointless territory weeing.
also, why do you say "plannar" and not planar, also naed what did I do wrong? I'm literally providing proof as to why it is the way it is
breathe Senn :)
OOOOO
that is all i am saying :)
it wouldnt be a problem if some folks wouldnt make ppl feel bad about their purchase
its just words on a screen guys
Imma get 6xx modi and
lookie at the comment dino*
ld mk2?
what someone says, reflects on them alone.
honestly cntrl the pc38x might just be best option for you and keeping it simple, if you want 6xx that is a good option too
we get an extra $10 in credit so pog
Gonna solve the whole argument real quick
Ninja what tubes do i get
Almost like physics still apply and if they put a second set of magnets the driver wouldn't move
@last plinth dont start off with tubes
you can pick whatever tubes you want, that guide has some really good ones mentioned
if you decide on 6xx that is good option, most people are happy with that
@thick plank if you are having a argument, i think you have misunderstood something quite severely
Get a jds atom and then move on to tubes and maybe even use the atom as a pre amp fkr a tube amp
@thick plank let him do what he wants
Ninja said its better if i do get ld mk2
if he wants tubes then let him get tubes
I didn't really say it was "better", just that you could have more fun
and sennheiser cans do love their tubes
solid state is the safer option to go, idk about tubes but i just hear a lot that tubes are really nice on them
if anything. its SUPPOSED to be a debate between people that care about audio gear
What does “fun” mean
a debate is a MUTUAL exchange of viewpoints/knowledge/opinion.
the eternal war has begun
"fun" just means that you can mess with it a little more
@west hornet he wants a headset thatbis good for gaming and the 6xx is about as far as you can get from that in spite of being good for the price for vocal lovers playing music
it is NOT a "this is the only possible way" declaration.
think of it like ice cream toppings
I dont eat ice cream
its an analogy lol
But yes
yeah it's an analogy
@amber oracle except his claim of it being an he500 in any way and the dual sided magnet claim (on both the 5xx and 500) are objectively wrong physical claims and not opinions
and tubes help with that cause different tubes have different charcteristics
i would not say 6xx is far from that as many consider it the best and safest option under 300usd
which can be reasoned about @thick plank
^
Here is the 500 driver for reference
that is just what i see on countless forums and communities
The front of it
ok, first of all, I never said that the 5XX were a 500 clone
IF you are both intent on doing the weeing show and tell. Please set the terms for it before you start it.
did you just notice that I said that I NEVER said they were a clone?
Even sound staging and imaging is as far as it can get comparing the 2
Are they good?
this is what this reminds me of kinda https://i.imgur.com/Lrpxw0b.png
yeah lots of people use them as their go-to for the LD mk2
They share nothing with the 500
because you are both stamping your feet and missing what the other is saying from my pov
I understand what you're saying
They do however share tamber, mids, trebble, sound staging, imaging, and detail and speed with the deva
With slightly lower bass cause the pads
so please, try and actually reason it out instead.
but, I don't think that they would straight up LIE about the diagram of a driver
the community at large is better served IF you BOTH can do that
They also share the physical driver piece to piece and the same chasis

I just sent an image of the driver
https://tenor.com/view/brick-wall-talk-gif-5290288 @amber oracle
@thick plank have you ever heard that "yelling louder" is not a solution?
@amber oracle issue is him making objective claims and acting as if they are opinions...
not answering the question.
i think ill trust the guy that has BOTH products
^^^
He can say he likes the deva and 5xx cause he likes for example high and loud highs and likes a metallic sound
@west hornet with type 2 I'd format it without the spacing for the second line lol

Maybe he listens to only transe music

That would be valid
i can tell you didnt even read the thread you just skimmed throught it @thick plank
I never said a word about them being an HE500 clone, nor did I rule out that they aren't a deva clone
@thick plank IF you are interested in "proving" anything. Go back, get the references. Then either Snip them or copy the post links. And formulate a response with that included
all I said was that I ordered them and will tell you what I THINK of them
because then the playing field is actually even
yup me too @brisk parcel i cannot say anything about the 5xx's until i get them in hand
Because as i said. You are both talking way past each other from my POV
You cant however say "this has this part" when it doesn't or "this part (which is high heavy and has bass rolloff" sounds like this other product (which is the opposite)"
and i have no interest in having you two having a wee match here
Naed I know and I'm sorry cause you're right I 100% got heated about this
What a headset is and how jt acts isnt
@thick plank have you even heard said headphones
you could always just take this somewhere else 🙃
IF i start talking about details of my work, with the lingo I use. Both of you would be hopelessly lost inside of seconds. Which IF i was looking for a conversation about a topic, would be a SILLY thing for me to do
nead big brain 10000 iq
You are both using your own personal "i am used to this lingo" for describing things
which makes you BOTH misunderstand what the other is saying
@tacit wing deva I have and seeing as it is physically a deva with different pads I guess I have heard the 5xx too with different pads
so instead of being hellbent on proving the other "wrong"
how about you BOTH focus on ACTUALLY understanding the other
i have no clue what the context of this situation is but I gotta agree
because IF you cannot take the time to do that, you are both VERY much showing that you have a LOT of growing up to do.
funny because i just did a paper on empathy
but what do i know. I am just a grumpy old man
None of this is at all a point of view related thing. When talking about a physical detail there is no opinion involved @amber oracle
I understand what you're saying completely, I'm trying to show you that there is other evidence you need to look at
🤦
you are entirely missing the point Fortnut
When people have their heads up their bums @thick plank
its VERY much a case of opinion
yessir
because from what i understand of biology. Its really hard to see the point of view of the person you are talking with from there
What about headphones
@tacit wing the point is both sides should respect rhe others opinion hence why I said he can say it is good all he wants if he says why he likes it and what for but he can't make objectively wrong claims on physical aspects because that isnt an opinion
If my leg hurts then how much it hurts is an opinion but if I get an xray and it isnt broken and I say it is broken I am lying, not giving my opinion
So if someone states "it isnt broken" they arent disrespecting my opinion
schiit stack and jds stack are both very popular at the budget, im pretty sure i've even seen people do a mix of both, modi and atom i believe?
They simply are correcting my false claim
it's not an objectively wrong claim if I have facts and articles to back it up, right?
I could probably do a google search right now to tell you that having magnets on both sides is a thing
It is objectively wrong because you claimed the driver is using 2 9 row magnet arrays and as demonstrated it is 1
have you ever heard that "yelling louder" is not a solution?
And that is ignoring the physics side where if you have equal push and pull you cant move a part
okay, so if it's one, they're basically lying completely to everyone on drop, right?
yeah i have grown past of how much you dislike the 5xx's because of its innate characteristics and similarities of the Devas. whether they are the same drivers or not, my ears are the ultimate judge as a consumer @thick plank
So the driver wouldn't move
but that's the thing, it's possible to have magnets with different strengths on both sides
for more precision
I am seriously about to post a how-to-geek article in here
but we must listen to @amber oracle and have a discussion with Layman's terms rather than have a pissing competition
@tacit wing they objectively are the same driver with the same electrical impedance and same sensitivity which alone wouldn't mean much but we also can see both are the same 4 trace 4 hump pattern and both have the same magnet array and again other than bass from the pads measure the same which doesnt just suggest they are the same driver
It just shows they are
yeah dino I know you're right lmao

There isnt any if or but about it
Again, if you like transe or metallic tamber they both can still be good
dude i cant
Cholax gave me the biggest headache in this channel but someone else just took the crown
i feel like we are in a court case rn
But outside of that the 4xx is faster and more detailed with a slightly wider sound stage and muc more natural tamber which for most people will be better
okay i just got back from dinner where we at on this convo
"What makes the whole setup work is a series of precise and evenly-spaced magnets on both sides of the thin, electrically-active diaphragm material. Hence the name, planar magnetic: magnets acting on a flat plane. The magnets are so precisely cut and spaced that the diaphragm is perfectly held in the magnetic fields. This wide and flat layered construction makes planar magnetic headphones larger in diameter than most full-sized dynamic headphones, but somewhat “thinner” in the cups."
that is DIRECTLY from the article on what a planar magnetic even is ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
just please, slow down
and read that
and tell me how it's wrong
because I'm pretty sure they fact-check their stuff
@tight pulsar oh nothing much
^
It is wrong because physics and because there is no magnets on the other side...
oh cool
It is a plannar because the copper pattern instead of coil and magnet rows/plane instead of a single circle
And those 9 rows are on 1 side
why do you say plannar
it's planar
I can stoop that low and I really don't want to
on the side of physics, it makes total sense that magnets would be on both sides
Ninja what are ur thoughts on sennheiser game zero
that's what the electrical current running across the driver plane is for, right?
@last plinth idk, never tried them but I'm sure there are better options
1 question @last plinth are you planning on getting anything anytime soon or is it going to be awhile
here's the article so you can look as well
than i would say dont worry about it for now, you can come back asking closer to when you get them. although you can look up reviews and such on headphones that a lot of people mentioned here in the mean time
current reviews would be best
The current through the copper traces creates a magnetic field which pushes against the magnet. The advantage of a planar there is the plane is flat so it won't desync like a dynamic from inner to outer so they dont have as harsh of rolloff and the other advantage is the ability to make thinner and lighter diaghrams allowing more speed as a result and more detail. That magnetic field would do nothing if you had it pushing on 2 sides...
But again
Don't take my word for jt and you can ignore physics too
how would the magnetic field do nothing if it's on both sides? you create perfect suspension
But light doesn't lie and the light that reached any camera that snagged a picture shows no front magnet
And there are more images of the same thing
What are u guys even arguing about
"Like a dynamic driver, the sound in a planar magnetic driver is generated by regulating the electrical flow through wires suspended in between magnets. But like an electrostatic driver, the diaphragm mechanism is replaced by directly vibrating a large, flat film, allowing for more precision and range. Combining these operational principles allows planar magnetic drivers to be constructed in smaller, cheaper speakers and headphones (at least compared to extremely expensive electrostatic hardware) that can still generate much better sound than ordinary dynamic speakers and headphones."
this is the second paragraph right below it ^^^^^^^
also about what you're saying with the magnets on the 5xx
according to the diagram, there's a layer between the magnets and the pads
so it would be hard to tell
also, I looked for that image and I can't find it, can you link it?
I also just noticed the lines on it, and it looks like the lines are showing two different rows of magnets
Pretty sure from how they curl on the edge they are filtering or they are a padding but id they were magnets your claim that it is a different driver because of that still wouldn't work
Cause the deva has them too
I only see one side on that, do you have a better picture?
I still can't find that 5XX picture
@tacit wing did you see that we get an extra $10
on drop
mega pog
aight I'll be back later I got some HW to do
POG
yeah look at the article on drop, and Leo we have drop rewards
dang
@queen sigil they messed up somehow and gave us free 10 dollars
and i have another 10 dollar reward on top of that
so they didn't mess up actually
so i can get porta pros for 8 dollars
the headphones got to the warehouse early and went out early as well
the best mess up
dino you might end up getting yours on the day you're supposed to anyway lmao
are ETA's even accurate at this point?
anyone here build custom keyboards?
@queen sigil
@tight pulsar
yeah thats my name
hi nachos
also imma be biking in like 10 minutes so probably cant answer rn
mtb
i miss mtbing
no biking nachos
yeah we have mainly xc trails here but dh is nice ive been up to a small dh park
i misspoke its actually 38 dollars
but last time I got bucked really hard late at night
and I had a heart attack
so I stopped
lol
night rides are fun
its like pitch black rn and its only 6:30 vs like 8:30 when we did it in summer
nice I just built kbdfans mkii with holy pandas and gmk's
i love keyboard now
i want an alice next
lmao @tacit wing pog
nah the 67
o
what builds you got?
with real holy pandas or cheapo pandas
Modulus60 from Hex Keyboards (commission)
built with
- alu half plate
- 70a o-ring in friction fit/bottom mount configuration

like under 300 preferably closer to low 200s and 60%
oh yeah that's totally dooable
tofu is cheap idk the exact price tho
as long as you stick away from like GMK keycaps and stuff
Ya I know its dooable Im just wondering like how much I should spend on a plate or a case or keycaps stuff like that
ya i got alpacas for 35
depends if you want acoustics on the keycaps it wont sound a sgood but itll feel great
If you got some time to wait
IDK if they're doing another drop

100$
65%
Thats cool

But it's a group buy
ye

ya I bet
Link it
if you want alu kbd has the low profile 65% for 125
and what does it come with
pcb plate and case
Just look at the NK website
k
it should be unde keyboards
ya of course
@brisk parcel so ld mk2 with what tubes?
Link tubes
I want good ones
Good treble and bass
More treble than bas
I have neither but have tried a magni 3
tbh, it's a pretty standard amp, nothing special
it's been a while and I only listened for 15 tracks or so
Having owned a magni 3, not the 3+, I concur. It does its job well, but isn't anything special.
Is it as good as ld mk2
I haven't tried any tube amps, sorry.
yeah, tubes have that "tubey" sound
warmer, a little wider(the mullard CV4015 at least), more natural sounding to my ears
not a full tube amp
Is it better?
for me, since I'm all about warmth and fuzziness and soundstage and really feeling like I'm "in" the music, yes
sennheiser cans do love tubes I can confirm that
Does ld mk2 come with cables needed
it does
like I said, I believe you'll have more fun with the ld
regardless if it's your first time getting into audio stuff or not
but, you'll enjoy both. since you're getting cans that benefit from the tubes, I would learn towards the LD NOW and the magni or another solid state amp later
awesome
remember if you're curious about other tubes just look at that article I sent earlier
Is it decent for gaming tho
does the job just fine
ok
for my taste, better than the magni. I know that you want to be competitive but I encourage you, strongly, to give it a try
you could even make that a thing you have now, and buy the PC later
you don't need a good PC for the audio equipment lmao
Hey
I’m looking for headphones and I’m at Walmart rn
There’s also razer and Logitech
lol
if you have to get something from that rack id get clouds. but id look for the exit if i were you
Okay clouds it is

Which one
doesnt matter. cloud 2 or alphas
i wouldn't get that
Oh
clouds are basically rebranded Takstars
Okay cloud II
which are decent reference headphones

keep the 6XX
just wait for decision until closer when you actually looking to buy
no matter how much i want to sway people away from "gaming" audio i realize that alot of them are adequate enough for the average consumer
Ninja hear me out
the marketing still makes me cringe tho
oh god
Schiit stack + dt 880
any reason why u want the Beyers?
you are not going to enjoy the hiss based on what you listen to, but I can't MAKE you decide, I can only help
I still recommend the 6XX, 990 aren't bad but you have the budget to spare so 🤷♂️
fair enough. ill be happy with any decision u make cntrl
I dont really have the budget
Also ld mk2 is confusing
At this point im just gonna get cloud 2’s
lol
remember, I made a promise to you that I would never recommend anything to you again if you're gonna spend all that money and get sub-par audio
it's not sub-par, but for your budget?
crazy sub-par
as i said, if you want sweet and simple but have the money for something like a 6xx and such, pc38x is a very nice option
My budgets like 500
then you can 100% get what we recommended
If its lower it would be better
it's 1000% worth it
I would prioritize the headphones themselves and upgrade source later, but it's up to you
after the countless discussions youve had with countless of people you cannot possibly settle with just Clouds 2's
theyre by no means a bad headset but cmon
You know you want to
lol what is going on here
But do i really want to
Ninja has a good point, tubes are pretty sexy
The chance of me not liking them are really high
I'm using LCD-2s, so I went full solid state, but I do want a tube amp or pre at some point
I owned the cloud 2s for THREE YEARS
you're going to be very safe with the 6XX
like I said you can do whatever you want but
doesn't mean I wont recommend something else based on your taste
Recommend
the 6xx is the most safe option in general, most people that try them like their sound signature
because at this point you might as well buy the 880 for gaming and the 6XX for music because that's what you're showing right now
Purely imaging and soundstage
then the 6XX
I dont wanna buy 2 headphones
That's what everyone says before they buy 2 pairs of headphones
if you want purely imaging and soundstage then get the 6XX
if you don't, then the 880
I cant tho
"990 aint bad" they really are though
I dont want little dot
Like nothing they do is goof
aight im back
ok here we go
alright
*good
Theybhave loud highs but they are disgusting sounding and image too close so even if you like highs they arent good for that
Expensive
880 beats them in imaging and sound stage for the price and so does the 4xx
4xx is faster and more detailed
but totally worth it
we dont even need to talk about this if you not getting anything soon anyway lol
They have yucky and not accurate mids
And bass rolls off quickly in spite of being somewhat present in some ranges
990 are just bad
880 are fine for like 1 thing but mostly I dont like them and that is basically gaming
i should take advantage of my ears not being introduced to audiphile
I got lucky and had an audio shop within driving distance where I got to try out dozens of headphone models. I would recommend trying to do that since apparently you have some time until you buy.
@thick plank question: the 990 you are talking about, is that the Beyerdynamics?
To answer for him, yes
yes it is naed
Yea @amber oracle
