Part 3:

HOW TO GET THE BEST SOUND FROM IEMs - how to fit and get the best sound:
Two important points: 1. IMO IEMs are a vast improvement over previous styles of earbuds, but present greater risk for hearing damage if not used properly. 2. The sound you hear is only as good as the weakest link in the reproduction. If your audio file is a 128 mp3, these are...

O'Douds Apothecary Hair Pomades
Your comments about lavender and "a testosterone thing" made me curious (I'm a guy who likes lavender-scented things), and I decided to look into the medical literature to see if there was any truth to the claims floating around on the internet.
The idea of lavender oil increasing estrogen production in men stems from reports of some boys developing gynecomastia ("man boobs") after using hair or skin products containing lavender and/or tea tree...

King Seiko: Where is it now?
Seiko is no stranger to any of us here, but I recently saw a bunch of pictures and literature online regarding "King Seiko". Of course, Seiko today has their luxury line of Grand Seiko, and the ultra-luxury Credor, but I had never heard of King S...

LG 34-inch Curved Ultrawide Monitor 34UC87M-B
You state the Dell is a TN panel, yet it very clearly says on the product literature you provided yourself that it is an IPS panel. Also using your own provided product literature, the color gamuts are BOTH 99% sRGB. Further, using the TFT Central panel database, these two monitors have the exact same panel from the exact same manufacturer. The ONLY hardware difference is Thunderbolt compatibility. Why are you misleading people with your...

Massdrop x Schwarz Perpetua EDC Folding Knife
The patent is expired, but the name "axis lock" is still trademarked. You'll notice that Massdrop doesn't call it an "axis lock" in any of their literature concerning this knife

CEntrance Reserve Series Speaker Cables
Well I'll leave you to your "marketing" then if you and the defenders keep going back to what "others" overcharge for.
For skin effect to actually be an issue here it needs to be relevant to below 20khz which is what the percentage of conductor calculation is useful for. Calculate the area of the wire ((pi * radius) squared) - calculate the unused diameter (diameter - 2*depth) - calculate the unused area (pi R squared again) - Percent used =...

SMSL Panda DAC and Headphone Amplifier Set
I own the DAC portion of this system. I think it is superb and would not hesitate to recommed picking this up if it suits your needs. The rest of the post is detail on my system and listening style so you can make your own conclusions.
I use the "cheapo" power supply supplied with the DAC and not the fancy separate one that is part of this drop. I put quotes around fancy because it's a better power supply than most device supplies. Anyway, I...
