I excited to get new electrostatic headphones from Soviet Union. Than you for your newsletter.

So this will have 10 more bass?

Fucking Rangers. For a team that "outplayed" the opposition as thoroughly as the Rangers did Ottawa, they sure looked like losers to me. That team needs to be blown up now. The core couldn't get it done. Dammit.

I like.

That thing interests me greatly...

Holy hell the Oilers-Ducks game was incredible. I'd be throwing up all day if I were an Oilers fan. 3 goals in the final 3 mins?! FUCK. And great screaming Jesus, McDavid is unreal. Literally almost every single time he touches the puck, he does something amazing. His skating is ridiculous. He spins and bounces off guys like they are old men. He is dangerous anywhere on the ice. So much fun to watch.

Rangers smoked Ottawa tonight. Fun game.

Interesting. As a fan of the Electrocompaniet ECD-1, I've always been partial to that unmistakable Scandinavian sound signature. Heh, right you are! I should just get whatever DAC you had 3 years ago. You and I have always liked the same gear. Great minds and such...

Having been out of the game for a while, the rapid development of DAC tech (or at least the verbiage dedicated to same) appears to have accelerated even more. I'd appreciate it if you fine folks could catch me up as to where we stand. What is the latest and greatest tech? What are some of the basic must-haves in a DAC today? Which chipses tend to sound best? And, most importantly, which ones have the prettiest lights?

...as if we didn't know Head-fi was the home of the shills...

You can't have it both ways. If you're writing reviews that are read by "thousands" and you are receiving discounts on the products you review, then that is a material connection to the manufacturer that must be disclosed. And you're not doing this for free. If you receive a discount, then you are in fact being compensated to the tune of the amount of said discount. People may be making buying decisions based on your reviews (for better or for worse). Accordingly, you have a duty to disclose anything that might affect the credibility of your review. Fortunately, this is all rather easily- 55 replies

BTW, the failure to disclose the special treatment he receives (i.e. discount) is illegal and the FTC has gone after people for that very same horseshit. https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/ftcs-endorsement-guides-what-people-are-asking -
Still not sure what I think of the Crosby hit. I don't think Niskanen was going for the headshot. However, Niskanen certainly was going to crosscheck Crosby, that we do know. And nice slash by Ovi. I'm a huge Crosby fan. I don't understand the haters. He's clearly among the top handful of players in the world, if not the best. He's a pleasure to watch. And his ability is simply awesome. I'd hate to see his career cut short due to concussion issues. Rangers win was huge last night. They are a better team than the Sens and I expect the series to turn around now.
