Not pointing at anyone in particular, just that opposing extremism is a real thing. And the radicalization on the US atm is worrisome.

A lot of people inflamed, getting information from one sided "media" and many armed to their teeth. Could end up badly.

Nah, just added an image to counterpoint the "chasing own tail" on OP.

The fight happened in the past (Italy, Spain, Germany) and it wasn't easy, pretty or funny.

@11112011 That lady, even without the Tinto, is certainly welcome. 😜

@shahaan@mastodon.social Found a page with specs and photos of my original Q1 model. Keeping a snapshot to quick remind me of it's parameters.

Specially important, the phones impedance recommended - up to 150 Ohms. Many full sized ones might be higher, but we can look for their lower imp versions, sometimes down to 32 Ohms.

Amazon.ca has some FiiO models, besides other brands of amps. https://www.amazon.ca/s?k=Fiio+Q1&s=price-asc-rank&qid=1574868463&ref=sr_st_price-asc-rank

Looking thru the FiiO site, there's a new version of my Q1 amp, now called Q1 MkII. Sensible name, nice looking too.

Looks and works well wit ha laptop or a mobile player, attached together in a compact stack.

@shahaan@mastodon.social You are very welcome! 😺

I love good headphones, and it's ncie to discover a local source.

Would recommend a portable amplifier too, the phones need more power to deliver higher volume than a protable or computer sound card usually delivers.

I have a FiiO Q1 and it's great. The company has other models, newer, and also a GREAT Android music Player app.

Manufacturer page. lost of models! https://www.fiio.com/amp

Music App is here: https://www.fiio.com/app

And -- they make Players too. https://www.fiio.com/player

@freemo

Thanks for the tips! Will try with a dried up bud next time. I do feel I got the results to be expected from the quantity processed.

It seems different, as the rate of delivery is different, slower absorption versus faster lung tissue one.

And it tasted good to boot. 😉

Just discovered a Canadian source for our hifi cravings. BIG listing of headphone models.

Located in Montréal, Québec. No crossborder fees added.

Black Friday sale on headphones coming in soon now. Listings here: https://musicredone.com/collections/monthly-specials/type_studio-stage-headphones`

Including this and other BeyerDynamic models.

Spent some nice relaxing and quality time last night. Brought down the headphones, connected them to a portable amp and listened to some great music.

Full sized headphones can be wonderful. Some HiFi pron imagery for your Wednesday morning/evening pleasure.

@Sphinx You are very welcome. 😉

It's wonderful how we can access so much music nowadays. Even with a free account, these services open the door to unimaginable variety and content.

@Sphinx Have you seen The Carpenters Christmas Album? Always a favourite here, had the CD for many years.

@xennobe

an interesting conversation. The person who wrote the text xennobe copied here will have a hell of a time meeting a compatible possible partner.

Some compromising needed.

It's lovely to use lower profile messaging systems, I tried and liked Telegram, but for any messaging software, not having contacts makes it dead and sterile. 😔

best is software that is available across platforms; doesn't force you to be in a mobile device (like Whatsapp) to install and use it.

Some companies do make the effort to offer cross platform tools, avoiding the enclosed garden mentality.
