  1. https://www.dexerto.com/tech/xqc-leaks-conversation-with-linus-amid-ltt-fallout-it-was-you-now-its-me-2253472/ What the actual fuck
  2. can you link the other employee statements? i believe you I just want to update my friend who is also interested in this situation
  3. idk his responses have dramatically lowered my expectations of him. but yeah its xqc so who knows
  4. why is there 0 possibility that she is telling the truth and linus and other managers tried to brush everything under the rug?
  5. idk she could have got legal advice and was told it's too he said she said without concrete recordings etc. also she probably would have gotten harassed if she files a lawsuit against LTT without telling people the context etc
  6. some of it could be chalked up to a demanding high pressure job position. but the name calling and sexual harassment if true is very damning. I'll reserve judgment until we get a statement from LTT but they need to take a good look at this and themselves.
  7. i mean much of the original video is just about inaccuracies in LTT videos so there isnt much to contact them about since its fact-based. the only thing i thought they should have asked LTT about is the billet lab situation and I thought i was right in that hunch when linus implied that it was already resolved in his statement. but lo and behold it turns out linus was being misleading at best and they didnt try to resolve it until the situation blew up so even in that case it turns out gn was right.
  8. My thoughts I'm a bit concerned about this because even though they sort of serve different markets many of the products on drop are competitors to corsair. Also, corsair seems interested in moving into those markets, hence them purchasing drop. This would be sort of like if intel buys newegg or something. They say they will not make any immediate changes, but if I were a company selling my products on drop, I would start planning alternatives.

  9. the ones i would consider at the hd600, audeze maxwell, hifiman sundara. i didnt really like the hd660v2 but I prefer bright to neutral headphones so your tastes might be different.
  10. the best sounding tws ive heard is moondrop sparks but theres no ANC or other features and the software could be buggy. ive never heard them but i heard from people i trust that the galaxy buds 2 are good.

    tube amp?

    tube amps under 1000 arent really worth it imo unless you can diy. im building a sangaku right now and its around 400 dollars of components but some of them are hard to find. another popular one is bottlehead crack though ive never heard it so i cant speak on it
  12. did you match the volume? i find that the media player on windows 10 and 11 anyways tends to play at a high volume.
  13. also the quality of the plastic matters as well. i heard the hd600s are tanks and some of them are older than i am and still working fine
  14. i dont have the venus but ive been using open back headphones for a while and never had an issue so far with the mic picking up the sound. but i also listen at a modest volume around 75db so it might depend on that as well
  15. i just use rtings for the raw data and ignore their ratings
  16. moondrop sparks. i liked their sound more than the sony wf-1000xm4. but no ANC etc so its a bit feature light.
  17. I have a rega planar 3 with I think a rb300 tone arm and bias 1 cartridge. I want to get a cartridge upgrade. I refer a neutral to maybe slightly bright signature and what I want most out of this upgrade is more detail. I've been considering the at33ptg/2. Also, someone suggested me to stretch my budget a bit to get the dynavector 10x5 mk2. But I'm a bit worried about the compliance since the tonearm is 11 grams and the calculators I've seen puts the dynavector slightly out of compliance. I'm also open to other suggestions for around 600 dollars. Thank you
  18. if you want maximum insertion then probably something like the etymonic er line like er2se. though they are a bit scary to me because of that.
  19. a lot of streamers i watch use it for stuff like deciding the next game they play. ofc they can always post a strawpoll or something so its not the end of the world but its still dumb. idk he doesnt seem like a genuine person to me ever since the thai soccer team thing way back then where he threw a big tantrum when his "submarine" wasnt being used and tried to pit people on the rescue team against each other. and after i watched a documentary on that I agree with the divers that theres no way it would fit around the bend.
  20. this is a very contentious topic. the main measurement that the debate is centered around is sinad which is signal to noise + distortion. some say that sinad is pretty much the end all be all measurement and as long as an dac/amp has reached a certain sinad it sounds exactly the same as any other dac/amp that hit that number. other people say sinad only tells you if a product is broken and there are differences between dacs/amps even with the same sinad. im in sort of a middle ground because ive heard differences between dacs/amps with > 90 sinad that group A says should have no difference but ive also heard minimal / no difference between dac/amps that group B says should be a huge improvement. also in general i havent heard any huge improvements at least compared with changing headphones
  21. even if you need a headset theres the audeze maxwell. i didnt get to hear it at canjam but many people i trust said it sounded really good and it seems to measure well. im not sure where to begin with this post. so you listened to one headset thats a gaming headset not really aimed at sound quality nonetheless and declared that all headphones under 5000 dollars are worse than 5 dollar earbuds. yeah im not sure about that one
  22. this is normal for active speakers. even with my 1400 dollar a pair genelec 8030c you can hear a hiss if you put your ear up to the tweeter or on a quiet day.
