    I hadn't really used headphones since my college DJ years and that wasn't really for listening. 

    The first night I was listening to some classic rock from the 60s and 70s and was blown away by layers I never heard before. Some acts that I thought were ok back then went to the top of my list like Steely Dan. 

    I thought $200 was crazy. With my well earned tinnitus I didn't think anything could sound that good. 

    The first thing I noticed with mine was the sounds stage. You're just so used to music in a box with regular headphones. then, with the open backs, you're treated to a rhythm guitar in one part of the stage, the piano in another, and the vocal right in the middle.

     

    Do you stream? which service do you use?

    I'm not near them but I think HD 6xx. My son picked them up on massdrop as a gift. The DAC is a Shiit 

    I really liked them both. I've basically been hearing everything I missed in the 70s. 

    Same! but I ordered a Schiit DAC but they're backordered due to parts shortage. Super jealous. Bought a stand-in DAC on Amazon and it's still a huge improvement over wireless bluetooth NC headphones.

    The 6xx are a great way to ruin all other headphones for about $200.

    Man the Vikings are going to get Harbaugh and it will 100% be due to the mccaskeys not understanding how the Gruden deal was par for the course in college now (ie they were cheap). Makes me sick.

    Yeah, and then Harbaugh will be out in about four years when the Vikings get sick of him.

    I did a deep dive on Neal Young's site. It started as a way to test my new Sennheiser headphones and DAC but ended with a much greater appreciation for Young's career. I also appreciated paying that site directly. I assume that Young gets the bulk of the payments.

    Just bought the reissue of "Harvest" on vinyl.

     

    Question: Which Sennheisers and which dac are you using? I have 660 S but my dac and amp are backordered.

    I’m being selfish right now but I’m so pissed at how the Hawks decided to handle this. It’s hard to fathom how they continue to get this wrong step after step after step. It makes it incredibly difficult to even try and be a fan. 

    I’ve been on the fence for a few days now, but they are making it incredibly hard to root for any part of the organization. 

    I get what you mean, but we're all in agreement what happened to Beach was horrible and looms over all of this but the only thing you and I can do is put our fandom (and money) elsewhere. Don't feel guilty discussing your fandom.

    Meanwhile, I'm surveying the league on ESPN Plus. I'll be honest, I'm tempted to hop on the Kraken bandwagon since they're a new team and everything.

  6. Disagree. Franchise players hold an outsized amount of influence. If Toews took the claims seriously, you had better believe more action would have been taken.

    Look, blame him or don't, but the illusion that Toews is a "good leader" is dead. His Captaincy is forever tainted.

    When I read the investigation report, it definitely does.  

    I've always liked the Stars and the Blackhawks but this is just too much. The crimes are bad enough but also the

    • Mismanagement from executives 
    • Straight of lying from Joel Quenneville and Toews, Kane
    • The homophobic and hurtful comments from the team at the time of the event

    No one comes out of this without a clear black mark. I almost feel guilty because I'm devastated I can't be a Blackhawks fan and devastated for Beach.

    The Sox organization disappoints year after year. They have failed their fanbase once again. I don't see anything changing in the near future. They got lucky in 2005. Jerry won't pay. We won't see a winner. If I live in this city, I might as well cheer for a team with a great FO and an owner willing to spend. I know it is blasphemy, and possibly a spur of the moment overreaction, but as of now I will be cheering for the Cubs and attending their games. This was the final straw.
