    Yes absolutely, I loved the simplicity of the story yet how powerful the message. I’ve been thinking about it since which is always a sign of a great movie.

    @o0genesis0o - I watched this last night, such a beautiful movie. Now is now…

    I was listening earlier to R8 II and Perpetua and it was the most enjoyable session I've had with both in the time I've owned them, most notably Perpetua as I've had them about 4 months... R8 II only about two weeks. I'm not usually one to burn things in, I've done it on and off in the past but...

    The discovery thread!

    I'm the same with Himalaya - still picking it up on a regular basis in spite of review being done and other sets that have since landed... a really wonderful set!

    Of the many single DDs I’ve owned, I’ve yet to try any Acoustune IEM - definitely an itch I have to scratch at some point!

    I must give the case another try so over the weekend - I’ve no doubt my system will keep it safe 😂 but I’d rather have it in the case… even if that also hides away a lot of the beauty. With other DAPs such as the 1A/1AM2 I do intentionally take out of their cases from time to time to just admire...

    My OCD relationship with technology has reached a new level - the fingerprint magnet nature and how easily stainless steel can scratch has led me to keeping a cotton glove in the ddHifi case for taking the R8 II out and storing away, making sure to use one of the many cloths I keep to hand to...

    +1 and also Turii Ti - reigning single DD champion for me.

    Hard to articulate the significance of this album in my life - a real ‘coming of age’ discovery over 30 years ago now when I was 16, that along with a few others at the time heavily influenced not only my music preferences, but social life, friends, work, family etc etc. I can say with absolute...

    Some classic IDM, possibly the first album I'll listen to on an incoming set :zipper_mouth:

    I don't think the Bellos Audio X4 have been mentioned here yet, so I will do so now! The X4 has 1x DD plus 3x BA IEM and retails for $999, and from the guys behind Fir Audio. A neutral, smooth, tuning with a nice touch of warmth - very impressive imaging in spite of that smooth tuning, nothing...

    I've a been a fan of Taylor Deupree and his 12k label for many years - his album 'Stil.' from 2002 gets regular play... I was delighted to see this remake recently released, an acoustic re-imagining of the original electronic album - immediate Steve Reich vibes and while certainly reminiscent of...
