Happy birthday to my metal brother from another mother! Have fun!
-
Thanks guys. Chinese BBQ pork is in the smoker, and a lovely chocolate raspberry cheesecake just came out of the oven. Doing it up 2020 style, homemade-at-home!
Hope everyone is doing as ok as possible, I know this hasn't been a fun year for anyone. Just been lying low here and waiting for the madness to end.

I don't remember finding him annoying as a broadcaster, certainly not like Joe Buck.

Yikes, Al! The fires have been ridiculous. My mother was evacuated for nearly two weeks due to the Creek Fire in Central CA, she got to go home recently, but much of the area I grew up in burnt to the ground, including most of the town I had my first job in. It's pretty surreal seeing the Governor and Senator of California giving a press conference in front of the smoking remains of your elementary school playground, but such is 2020.
Hope your sort-of-MIL comes through this OK. For as much burned in the Creek Fire, I was also amazed at how many homes they saved despite fire raging all around them.

Here's to hoping! I know I don't want to be anywhere near a plane right now, quite the change from my recent history.

Beautiful shot as always Peter, even though your subjects are all going to be close to home this Spring.
It's A-OK. I have had literally years worth of photos waiting to be worked with that I had just been too busy to do anything with until this recent pause.

Hey Shelly, I would say for sure that the Ether C Flow is more open and neutral than the Aeon Closed, in fact it's the top closed headphone I've personally used in those regards. I'm a big fan of it overall. The Focal Stellia is possibly slightly more detailed, but has a less neutral signature, smaller soundfield, and much higher price.

Yeah, we had a great time last year Al! Even though I had to miss the Other Half antics
Justin, Kerry, I have you down for passes. Anybody else who wants in, let me know in the next 24 hours.
-
I'll be out at the show as usual, so anybody that wants a free guest pass, hit me up before Friday Feb 9.
If anybody would like to come and hang out either before during or after, let's do it!
-
I don't see why you couldn't sneak a flask in, Bryan!
I'll be there so be glad to see anyone who wants to drop by. Should be doing a couple of forays into Chicago as well.
FYI to those who might comei, the show has relocated to the Renaissance Hotel in Schaumburg, so no more easy access to the Blue Line.

Happy birthday! You and your boys have fun!

Happy birthday Carl! Miss you and Bonnie!

Or you try to cater to both, with a mix of good value products, and flagship high end stuff that has "sex appeal" beyond solid engineering
-
On that note, it's amazing how many people at a meet/show will listen to headphones backwards and never notice unless its' pointed out to them: "oh, it sounds better this way..."

Well, as you eluded to, I've really enjoyed the V20 (and V10 for that matter). I've found the V20 to be the first phone that typically survives a full day for me without charging, and doesn't have any lag/freeze issues. I think the DAC quality is quite good, better than the AK240, and almost but not quite to the level of the AK320/380. The amp isn't quite as good, and partially that's due to their low/high impedance software auto-switching (i.e. have to hack to enable full amp performance with sub 50ohm headphones). I don't mind using the bult-in amp, unhacked, with my JH Laylas, but if I'm going to listen for an extended period of time, like on a plane, I will hook up a Pico Slim.
I've been primarily using Hiby Music, as I prefer the interface to that of Neutron. I couldn't say that there is any noticeable sound quality difference.
Especially with this phone going for as little as $300 lately, I'd say it's a great deal. It's without question the best smartphone I have owned, and the audio quality is quite good for being the device that's always on hand.
I could go on about the cameras as well, also the best experience I've had with a smartphone, and being able to develop RAW files on the fly has gotten me shots I never would have though possible on a phone.

I think that is one of your best-written pieces, Tyll, and a very fair take on the system. I think you do a great job of explaining the subtleties of the system and what it does and doesn't excel at. I feel a bit bad for the Sonoma guys when I see them at shows, as the system just doesn't hold up to the SPL needed to overcome room noise. Doubly so when I am showing the 009/BHSE right next door. But it is twice the price.
