RIP Sennheiser?
NO, you can't say penis, you must say dick.

RIP Sennheiser?
They might (or even should) partner with an electronics leading company that could compete with Apple, so they would sell tons of headphones and soundbars in the largest markets, or the ones with huge growth potential, which are these days chinese and india. Perhaps Huawei, Xiaomi, or Samsung in the worst case. That would allow them to sell the kind of products that people want, those tiny wireless noise-cancelling shitty things, and adapted wireless 3D faking soundbars for their monitors and TVs. I'm afraid that wired headphones are going to be an even more niche market that will be led by shitty flashy products a la Beats or Hifiman.

Formula 1 Thread
Oh crap. If all the damages he got is just a broken jaw, knowing him he'd be ready to drive on Bahrein, but if there's further damage, who knows.

Wow, that's extremely generous, thank you! Indefinitely is way too long but if you're willing to loan it to me for some weeks I'll be extremely glad to pay shipping and other expenses both ways. I'm unsure what's the taxes and import fees between Moldova and EU countries.

Yes
Short note to let you know that due to lack of resources, one of the largest Yes fan sites offering loads of bootleg recordings from Yes concerts, will go offline in July. They are hosting about 3TB of Yes music. Were you interested https://yessongs.nl/

What vinyl are you spinning now?
Basically desperation in the Thatcher era.

Happy Birthday Jeff!
Happy Birthday, Jeff!!!! Whatever it is that can make you happy, I wish your day (and the whole fucking year) is full of it.

And now what did you do TODAY?
That reminds me that I received the second shot of the Pfizer thing past Thursday. Still alive. Penis becoming an annoyance 🤷♂️

Ageing of human hearing and expensive high-end headphone gear.
You seem to forget that the important stuff is where the speech stands (500Hz to 2KHz) and that the brain is an incredible machine of filling gaps. If you provide your brain with an as accurate as possible information in the critical band, it'd make a better job "inventing" what it knows is there but now can't perceive. It's not its fault, it's our damn cochleas.

Plus subpar build quality. Those Leben were quite popular in Spain for a while, there were tons of posts by fanboys, so an acquaintance had the chance to open and check one. Not worth the price of admission, way less if you want it to feed headphones.

Stay away from Leben, just sayin'. Did you go up to Spain to listen to those?

Happy Birthday Grahame!
Hopefully he is turning años, not anos, that'd be painful and inconvenient I guess.

Fuck in snow
I never thought I'd post in this thread, but climate change changes things. It's been snowing for 3 days and temperatures are rather low, so we have Madrid, an absolutely unprepared city, covered by snow layer of about 3ft. The problems are that they don't have the machines to remove the snow from the main roads, streets and avenues, nor can spread salt to avoid ice formation. I'm expecting absolute caos and confinement for about 2 weeks considering the temperatures forecast for the next week, most days below 0ºC (32ºF). I'm fearing food shortage. Not even my 83 years old aunt has ever seen such snowing

Post what you're watching
A documentary about what became the cornerstone of Eva Cassidy's discography: Live at the Blues Alley. The musicians that were backing her up talk about her and the music those nights

Your Honor
Oh, I see, thanks, Steve. I'll wait when it's completed so I can watch at my own pace. Not having to wait for weekly episodes is the best thing these streaming services invented.
