It could be the frequency of his tinnitus. Noise induced hearing loss frequently shows a notch around 4KHz in the audiogram, and it's usually associated to tinnitus. I've checked and it's not exactly any note in the western "well tempered" tuning system (using 440Hz A as the reference), not so sure if you used a 432Hz A as suggested here: http://onlinetonegenerator.com/432Hz.html. However it's close enough to the seventh octave B (3,956.06Hz) and within its tuning range to think that it could be some sort of personal joke. It'd be helpful knowing if he's a musician. Maybe is a physicist and this is the resonant frequency of something he's working on. I've also found that android phones have some issue digitizing audio up to 3958Hz https://www.dsprelated.com/showthread/comp.dsp/335371-1.php

What a bitch, what a clusterfuck. You did great, Steve. I hope you get her fired.

What a race, last lap just amazing! Not for the podium guys, but the spaniards.

Happy Birthday!!!!

Happy Birthday, Dusty!!! I wish you have a remarkable day.

Hahaha, I found it while on holidays this summer. One of those tourist coming to visit us...

Happy very belated birthday, Steve. I don't know I could I miss this

I like it a lot, but my wrist isn't large enough for that size. Reminds quite a bit of some of the Autavia models, but I like its larger subdials. Zenith used to make some of the best movements in the business, but since it's owned by LVMH they're doing some weird things like those silly Rolling Stones tribute watches, or pilot watches that not even Godzilla would wear This CP2 is awesome.

^Indeed me thinks

^Looks like a lot of fun.

Happy Birthday!!! Have a great one

Happy Birthday, Carl!!! I wish you enjoy it immensely

Happy Birthday!!! Not sure about filling, but the feeling is that you have a great day

Yes, you're right, Birgir. There's a huge amount of people willing to spend money and it doesn't matter how good you are as a company, you just need to appeal to a few of them to make your living. Again, most of the customers are just lacking any knowledge, experience, sensitivity, sensibility and most likely intelligence. If any market were ruled by pure common sense and sheer quality, most products would have never ever seen the light of the sun.

Yeah, not trying too hard is part of the game. Just be yourself at a slow and peaceful pace.

IMHO most people are stupid so the wealthy ones among them pay absurd prices for things not that valuable. Some products, like watches, audio ancillaries, fancy clothes, select spirits and wines, and TOTL cars and whatever have that "exclusivity" consideration so even the not so wealthy come to believe those things are "that" valuable. Only time and common sense put things in perspective and at their proper place. Headphones are far from meeting that common sense spot. Only the experienced, not so stupid and sensible people, have the ability to tell what's the "real value" of something. A whole different thing is being curious and wealthy so you decide to spend an absurd amount of your money to try something. I'm still curious about how some things would sound, but I'm not as wealthy as to afford trying those at their current prices. This hobby was a lot more fun ten years ago

Happy Birthday!!! Yes we miss you

Leonard Cohen - You Want it Darker free first listen at NPR. First tune reminds me of Nick Cave.

I knew yesterday about the MAG-LEV kickstarter of a turntable using magnetic suspension to spin the platter. It looks cool, but I wonder how would such magnetic field affect the pick up and the tonearm settings.

Awesome. That was broadcasted on spanish public TV.

I've seen that thing posted before, it's probably some sort of joke. Or he's asking the price in long gone greek drachmas. 47,000 Drachmas would be like 137.9 euros.

This. Take care, gang.

Sounds like a cheap excuse.

I'd always leave that honor to you

I know, I know, hence my first reply to mikey. I was just pulling your leg a little bit I should have worded my reply to you as "getting them drunk with the Signatory bottles".
