depressed for the past 20+ years, I guess.

Reading the Q&A, these are the non ideal kind for your use. They'll probably just work, but there will be reduced performance.

"Just because I spend so much time listening to music doesn't mean I'm depressed! I mean, I am depressed. But not because I'm listening to music!"

Why do we need a study to learn this though?

Hate to get fucked by something ugly at least

This is not entirely true, the amount of music that someone listens is not a predictor of depression and listening to music won't end up making people depressed! Potentially, it could happen in a very particular situation? Maybe. It might be a sign of whatever is happening in life at a particular moment. You can apply the same principle to spending much time watching tv or movies, playing video games, compulsive behaviors etc. The fact that there is a correlation does not mean causation.

Honestly, you're better off just getting an RCA switcher (especially if you're potentially looking at other amps down the line):

Or simply pick up some cheap RCA splitter cables:

Less complexity, and works perfectly fine. I own both of the above personally, used in different setups, and have no complaints.

Nothing special, just regular cardboard boxes for me. If the tubes came with their own cardboard packaging it makes it easier and neater to arrange, but I have accumulated loose tubes that are mixed in there as well.

Thanks. Yes they are pricey. Would these work? https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=35807

I have to, I'm a producer 💀

what do you mean "we are all depressed"? nobody in the audiophile community listens to music for too many hours. we just look at frequency response charts for too long

Used to listen to music approximately 5 hours per day. Family and professional life catched up and now I feel kinda depressed. I need music to recalibrate myself. Good weed while listening wouldn't harm either.

No wonder we appreciate good sound that much. It's such an important part of my life and good gear makes the experience even better. It isnt't expensive either, because of how long it can last.

> Hi All, I have Schiit Modius which has 2 outputs. 1 RCA and 1 XRL

> I dont have balanced gear so i'm not looking for balanced, rather trying to use 2 amps (not at same time). Can I use a XLR to RCA cable for one of the outputs safely?

You have two kinds, one that leaves the other pin floating and one that will tie it to shield(which will short it). The latter is better used for RCA>XLR, the first for XLR>RCA. Both will only carry half of a balanced 4V voltage.

You need something like this

And not this

Benchmark cables are expensive though, note these are not sold as pairs.

$100 is for the logo at the base. I remember the post about the $500 Abyss headphone stand and mentioned the same thing, lol.

I like the Clear quite a bit more, but it’s not a fair comparison as the Celestee is a closed back headphone. That said, the Celestee sounds really good for when I need isolation.

FOOD! GIMME. Nice headphones btw. Which one is your fav?

Same here, if i'm in a good mood, music elevates it. Bad mood? Dark & quiet room.

Actually, music is an anti-depressant, or at the very least, a coping mechanism to deal with our depression.

Depression? Depressive might be hearing that much music through those awful headphones you got there in that photo.

How about some Sennys or Hifimans? huh?

Amateurs

I only listen to a 3.15 kHz test tone.

Opposite for me. When I’m at my worst I don’t put on music.

That's because they are, Meze doesn't have very good sound. They are the absolute top of the line in build and comfort, and not a whole lot else.

Y'all are listening to your headphones? I thought we just collected them like pokemon cards.
