MotherF——!!! list of worst expletives known to man here!!
Apparently it’s been off all afternoon and will be most of the evening!! Odin, what is the meaning of this??!!! Perhaps some weird test of patience.
Not to mention it’s over 100 degrees atm!!

Well here’s a pic of the Folkvangr in its new resting place…

… I’m sitting right next to it…hand rested on it…in the dark….weeping. :crazy_face:

Yes, @Audiophool I agree with @generic. Nice photo in the matte finish. How did you light it? Which lens did you use? I like the black cat sitting saucily by the side.

Thank you. That is the actual picture of my av rack….nothing wrong with the camera. ( maybe the Folkvangr s actually there…maybe not😜) . I have blackout curtains in that room as it’s also my theater room. A nice shot of the blackness seemed apropos

Hey, maybe we’ve stumbled across a new art form?

Why waste time and money hurling paint at a canvas all Willy-nilly.

I can take pictures in my pocket, in a box, in the closet….and let the artsy fartsies interpret what they see. :astonished: We’re on to something here

It’s a good thing you provided us the description of what was in the black box, otherwise I never would have seen it.

Nice picture :sunglasses: :face_with_peeking_eye:

The box is very nice… :wink:

I used an LED bulb with .02 Lumens. As far as lenses go …to get these results you can really use any lens you want. The trick is to not remove the cover

Southern Oregon. News online says it was birds…no details …just birds.:flushed: :person_shrugging: Ahhh, just came back on. Hooray. Too late to mess with my new Schiitt now but at least the air conditioner will kick on…hotter than hell in here.

Amazon Prime Day victim once again: AirPods Pro



My thought is that their noise canceling will suffice for athletics, general walking, office, and long distance air/train travel. End of the line for over ear airplane Bose/Sony headphones?

Not bad!

My Amazon Prime Day purchases have been limited to a couple of sets of JVC Spiral Dot tips that were a lightning deal. We’ll see if anything else catches my eye (there are some Spinfit tips on sale and I’m trying to fine-tune my Campfire Ara IEMs).

Regards,
Vic

Don’t feel too bad…here in South Africa we have been experiencing power outages 3 times daily for an average of 2 hours at a time for the last 3 weeks…and there is no end to it in sight.
Thank the ruling party for having stolen the funds earmarked for electricity maintenance.
Our grid is barely functional… :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

As an audiophile who prefers to keep his gear powered up most of the time, it ain’t fun.

Those are beautiful headphones. I’ve never listened to the Rosson brand, but am curious if they have similar characteristics to Audeze based on the creators background. No two sets are alike?

Just got to listen to it today finally …posted my (extremely) initial thoughts on the Folkvangr thread.

Look forward to your thoughts on the Rosson. I’ve been very curious about them…some day maybe
