Santa came much earlier this year!!! Thank you so much, Kerr.. I mean, Santa! ?

"So ya Thought ya Might like to go to the show..."

Thanks all! Not a bad day at all, though I did work all day downtown. Came home and both sons were there (with the younger son's girlfriend). Had a nice dinner and too many 3 Floyds Space Stations. Overall a good day! I took today off hoping to go for a semi long ride with my younger son, but the weather isn't cooperating. I guess I'll just take it easy!

Yeah, Nascent Audio is me. Thanks Hugo!

So I spent the past couple of weeks watching the entire series for the first time, so I could watch the live finale. This is something I saw posted, which seems reasonable accurate, having binged it. I did, however, start to enjoy the comedic touches towards the end of 8. As the meme posits, the last couple of episodes of S6 finally started to draw me in to the show some. I didn't get all the complaints about how S8E3 was too dark; I imagine people's TVs just weren't calibrated well at all. It seemed completely reasonable for the available lighting sources in the field. Oh, and I didn't see anything concrete on the dragonglass for the Unsullied. There were shards/strips of it attached to their shields. Now I'm going to go read the beginning of this thread, which I've avoided for ten years.

Odd, my Google translation came back- "I love headphones. Come drink my beer and listen to my beautiful beautiful music" Ken, you must not have the latest Google update.

I’ve retested and I got about the same results. Also tested a pair of SR-007 mk2 and then I got graphs more like your Orpheus Clone and 007mk1. I’m very satisfied with the bass, well not as good as 009S but good for my DIY headphone. I’ve tried different diaphragms and some of them are terrible, but I actually manage to do some better. Another thing is that my home made phones are not as sensitive as Stax and the diaphragms need time to charge. They start soft and after half an hour or so the sound reach it’s max. Here is how I stretch the Mylar film. 12 inch inner tube and Scotch Magic tape.

Wrong. Must like what I like.

You can't please all of the people all of the time, naturally. The thing I don't get is the "because I don't like it then it is bad" mentality I'm seeing all over the place. (Not meant to be accusatory towards anyone here, just something I've been seeing) I think it is ok for different people to have different tastes!

The notorious test of cartridge/arm, the pressing marked A11 is the real killer. My Zu/DL103, SMEIV (with damper) and Garrard 401 tracked it like a champ. And frightened the bejeezus out of me at the first cannon shot! This is what the grooves look like:

These are my measurements: I also don’t really know how to read them. However, my headphones’ graphs show pretty similar patterns to the Stax’s 007 MK1’s. Your headphones’ graph is so flat. Maybe you should retest them again. How is your bass compared to the 009S?

Today a miniDSP EAR arrived. Have made some measurements and I got the below graphs. I just followed the manual but I'm not sure how to interpret the outcome…

I have never laughed harder than I have at some of those skits on the Carol Burnett show. As hard, maybe; harder, no. The world is a less jovial place.

I've wanted a pair of Legacy Focus speakers since I first saw them in an audio magazine in about 1990. Yes, I read audio mags in high school. I was one of the cool kids, let me tell you.

Maybe a horde of Dothraki/Unsullied is a fourth thing? You don't know until you try.
