Think I saw that hanging in a window on US 31 just south of Petoskey Michigan.

Looks like the happy humanist to me.

These are the real deal folks. Just got them from Nashville this morning. Put on some metal and started playing with my PEQ. Upper mids are the best I've ever heard. I added a few dB to the sub bass frequencies and all I can say is due to the comfort, isolation and sound, these just became my daily drivers. Great job Akoustyx. 👏

Can you give me an example?

[–] Philo@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I have no idea why I waited almost to the end of my initial experiment with PEQ before I tested it with my firstborn, the Etymotic ER2XR. As fully expected, they are not the sonic mayhem of the Kai, nor are they the subdued yet balanced canons the truthears are. They are well past the truthears both in isolation and comfort. To my ears they sound equally as balanced if not edging out the Zeros. Guess this post means the prodigal son returned.

This morning I decided to try PEQ with my Truthear x Crinacle Zero. Seems the sub on this iem doesn't even turn on till you go below approximately 200 Hz. First impressions were readily a bass cannon. Little while later after the sub woofer hit, definitely another sonic cannon only much more balanced than the Kai.

I've been playing around with parametric equalization to make my iem listening experience more enjoyable. I think I have found the answer although I'd guess it's fairly subjective. Sub bass seems to increase the depth of music and actually seems to inject it with more emotion. Anyway, after some PEQ, my new sonic cannons are the TRI x HBB Kai. Bass cannons are a tie between QKZ x HBB Kahn, Kiwi Ears Cadenza, and Beyerdynamic DT770 PRO 32 Ohm.

Problem solved. Mullvad wasn't being used so I switched to Quad9 and it blocks ads.

[–] Philo@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Let me clarify, Mullvad is in the first slot, second slot is empty. A few ads get through. I put adguard in the second slot, no ads get through. Is there any way I can check if Mullvad is still active or could I just put adguards block list in my Netguard hosts file and just use Mullvad.

Genocide coming to a theater near you.

 

I've been using adguards free DNS to eliminate adds and recently switched to Mullvads add free DNS. Mullvad lets through a few ads adguad catches but stops many other things. Since Netguard has 2 slots for DNS, I put them both. Is that a problem, or do I have the best of both worlds?

Ever though about using what this community is named - HEADPHONES?

Qudelix 5k. 109 on Amazon. It has a PEQ and a GEQ and enough power. You can get plenty of autoeq settings from squiglink online. PEQ opens up brand new possibilities with iems.

From what I've read and what I understand about planars, they are extremely easy to equalize. I can attest to that since I've been playing around with my s12s and a parametric equalizer. They took the adjustments like a champ and more sub bass gives the music much more depth. For that matter, the added air over 15k does the same.

 

You guys have no idea what your music is missing.

 

Americans’ belief in God, heaven at lowest point in 22 years, Gallup survey says

I used autoeq on squiglink.com to eq my QKZ x HBB Kahn to oratory1990's target. I exported the PEQ numbers to a text file (wish it did CSV). Then I manually copied the numbers into the PEQ I'm my Qudelix 5k. Although it decreased the overall volume, everything else seems pretty much the same only the Soundstage seems wider and there is much better separation.

BTW, squiglink also exports to Wavelet.
