Best Headphone under 1k$?
I see the word REPEAT. Hmmm, I wonder....🤔 
Brodmann FS speakers with SET tube amp
Bingo! That’s the problem with them in a nutshell. They’re very inefficient AND they don’t like a lot of power. What works best is modest power tube electronics. All around great speaker. Except for the dynamics. But nothing is perfect.  
What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak?

Theoretical question about how CD's work
Well, the CD player in the car buffers the data, otherwise the CD would not play at all. However, data buffering cannot fix the damage already done by scattered light and the vibration CD, which occurs in the first picosecond as the laser reads th...

China’s a lot smarter than a lot of folks realize. For example China has the current distance record for quantum teleportation, 870 mi. I remember when it was few feet. Heck, they’ll be catching up to your humble narrator pretty soon if I’m not ca...

You probably didn’t burn it in long enough. 😀 These Quantum thinggies need some time to settle in. Frozen clock radio? Whoa, Daddy! That sounds eerily like.... 
Shootout of four earphones and a headphone
I agree that my HIFIMAN RE-600S V2 sounds very fast - like electrostatic headphones. But, trust me on this, even with 130 hours on them they’re a long, long way from high end sound. But I’m patient, unlike some people. 😀 I will give them the full ... 
Theoretical question about how CD's work
I suspect things are much worse than represented by almarg and his statement that perhaps 100s bits are in error. However, if that were actually true it would probably be inaudible. So, things must be worse than that. Since vibration isolation, CD...

I gave you a chance to say something relevant. Oh, well, onwards and upwards! 
which car is sitting in your listening room?
It was just my way of saying I’m officially off the grid. Eat my dust, suckers!  
Perception
I’m as serious as a colonoscopy without anesthesia. God gave you two ears and one mouth for a reason. I didn’t say it wouldn’t be a bumpy ride. That’s always the case when brand new information enters the scene. There’s always a whole lot of huffi...

Unless you like dynamics a lot. 
Shootout of four earphones and a headphone
after 130 hours I can say definitely the HIFIMAN earphones still sound very unnatural, distorted, with an unsmooth frequency response, no bass. But they sound good on Kraftwerk because it’s all synthetic, even the voice. So, as far as I’m concerne...

Volkswagen Electric Bus 🚌 Dude! 
Shootout of four earphones and a headphone
As I’ve oft repeated the high end earphones from HIFIMAN require about 300 💯💯💯 hours of burn in. You didn’t wait long enough if you stopped after 💯 . As I pointed out in the review of the RE-600S V2 earphones from HIFIMAN there was virtually NO CH...
