The algorithm reacts pretty quickly these days, so those should disappear quickly unless you keep watching whatever it thinks they are related to.

I've been having some issues with sleep. When I start to fall asleep my body suddenly violently convulses and I wake up. Has been happening very frequently lately.

Sleep apnea or maybe that running legs (dunno how you say it over there) syndrom ? Maybe stress, had a friend with the later and things improved a lot when he broke up from his then girlfriend (a bit of a control freak). You should consult IMHO.

I think that's what it is, I don't feel stressed out though. I've been working out a lot, maybe that has something to do with it, my CNS is under stress from working out?

I'll probably send my application to a HK employer tomorrow (it's late and I'll try to proof read it after some rest). Still a bit of a gamble but who knows ? Rest of my applications did not yield with positive results though thanks to LinkedIn and profile views, I do know some have been read at least and some of the LinkedIn network growing I've done may prove useful for future attempts, maybe. Nothing to lose in trying. Have been looking at some rental prices, it's not exactly cheap but apparently wages are not the lowest in average (probably because finance jobs are distorting everything).

Holy shit. I ordered the Sennheiser HD650’s blind since I couldn’t find a place to demo them here. Holy shit. I expected a difference but I’m blown away. I put on Baby Be Mine by Michael Jackson. I’ve listened to this song since I was first introduced to music as a child and it’s one my favorites and most listened to. It’s amazing to me that I put it on and I can hear things I never noticed before. Next up was Maybe by Janis Joplin and just the level of detail was aw fuck amazing.


Soooo.... I’ve been using Tidal for high quality music sources since I finally stopped getting my cds out. Is that the best choice? Or what other services or stores are there? There are definitely some albums I want to purchase in the highest possible quality.

Tidal still has best stream quality outside of a couple (that i heard of) smaller niche places. Bandcamp streaming is good too iirc. Outside of that you're gonna have start buying cds again.

Most of my favorites I already have on CD so I guess I’ll spend time ripping FLAC files this weekend. Any recommendation for an amp when I want to listen off my phone?

I don't own any but ppl love the FiiO headamps. A quick look and it seems the a5 can power up to 300ohms:

I would do some searching on head-fi etc though, you might be able to find a cheaper/better alternative.

I used to have a CMOY altoid can styled portable ages ago but idk if it can power something like a HD650

My Objective2 amp came in and I'm using it to drive my Senny 650's off my LG5. It isnt portable though, its small but more of a device that sits at the bedside table. And its fantastic. Neutral sounding and even cranking it to the max I don't hear any distortion or weirdness. Its loud enough to bring the headphones to uncomfortably loud which is good enough to back off from.

The 02 is another one, I was looking at it a couple years ago before i settled on a desktop amp. Remember thinking it was cool you could customize it on their website (3.5mm jack vs quarter inch etc etc)

Yeah I did some googling and searching last night and it seems like that is the best bang for your buck.  I think that's the route I'll go.  I did some gaming with the HD650's last night and fuuuuuuuck.  Amazing.  I fucking love my home theater set up but for critical listening and getting sucked into an A/V experience this absolutely blows it out of the water.  It's been years since I've just had the urge to put on some music, close my eyes and listen to it but I think I'll be doing that this weekend. 

I also got the Atmos for headphones app which works surprisingly well.  The soundstage isn't wide enough in the headphones to beat my HT setup in this category but it'll definitely do for late nights when I want to watch a movie at reference levels and the wife is sleeping.

As an alternative, pretty much everything I've read has pointed me to the Schiit Audio company. They just released the 3rd version of their headphone amp the Schiit Magni 3 which is a headphone amp and also a preamp for 100 bucks. Not saying you should not go for the O2, but consider checking out reviewed of the Schiit Magni 3 as well.

Excessive nagging tangent engaged : compared to what ? From your own account, to different, similarly very imperfect rendition of the song through medium of lower qualities. It's not directed at you really, more of a minor irritation I have. Fidelity is this huge selling point but really it is often a moot concept. It does exist but really in a lot of cases, vast parts of the audience (if not virtually all) can not objectively assess it. It's also often a matter of how good all elements of the chain are (source, device(s), speakers).

All that being said : I have a Sennheiser too (much less fancy than this one) and it's definitely enjoyable to have a richer sound in general.

Yeah I get what you're saying.  It's off an album that I own in 4 physical formats and most recently listened to it from the same source but on a home theater setup (using calibration settings for music) that is fairly high end.  It's not so much a comment on fidelity, but something more spatial.  There's actually an instrument of some sort repeating over and over throughout the song and through hundreds if not thousands of listens to this song in various formats I've never noticed it before.  I chose the song because it is something I know very well and figured it would be a good baseline for my first listen.  I'm sure I'll probably hear it now if I throw on my old headphones or play it on my home theater, but it never stood out like it did until I used the Sennheiser headphones.  It shone through so easily.

The richer sound you mentioned was what I noticed in the 2nd song.  It just felt fuller than other methods of playback I've used.

I definitely don't have a very critical ear for fidelity or anything else which is why I was quite hesitant on dropping so much on a pair of headphone.  But I can honestly say that even so I felt like I got my moneys worth and there is definitely a huge jump in quality with these all other things equal.

As an alternative, pretty much everything I've read has pointed me to the Schiit Audio company. They just released the 3rd version of their headphone amp the Schiit Magni 3 which is a headphone amp and also a preamp for 100 bucks. Not saying you should not go for the O2, but consider checking out reviewed of the Schiit Magni 3 as well.
Thanks!  I'll read up on that one.

I have started keeping a journal -yes like a scrawny teen-, since my separation. Maybe it won't last but it is soothing to take the time to collect your thoughts of the day and to commit to text your reflections, no matter how trite. Will be embarrassing or fun in a few months to look back on it, I guess.

I'll absolutely cringe at some stuff, yeah.  :lol The musings about my lust, for sure. But writing the ridiculous stuff "out loud" if only to yourself, may be good for trying to learn a lesson. It's not as potent as accepting to voice your weaknesses to someone, but it helps evacuate and not let that stuff making rounds in your head festering (namely general anxiety and insecurity in human relations).

*I like to use St. Louis style(meatier) or baby back ribs cut into single rib portions
*'Bout a 1/2 cup of soy sauce (or Dales if ya want)
*1/2 to 3/4 cup of water
*3 or 4 shakes of hot sauce(depending on heat wanted)
* 1/2-3/4 tsp each of garlic powder and onion powder and pepper.  I never measure, these are "guess"timates
* 1-2 Tsp Seasoning salt(I use Gold Metal)
* Meat tenderizer
*(Optional) toasted sesame seeds. ( Put sesame seeds under broiler till golden and pour into marinate while hot so it will sizzle, the oil will release into the liquid), I don't think I had any on the batch you had.

Set ribs up on their side and score/Cut the ribs across the bones 2 or 3 places each to help the marinade along, let them marinade in a lidded container at least an hour but 3 or 4 hours is best, I have let them go overnight and they were great. They can be frozen with marinade also for later, shake the bowl or sqeeze,kneed marinade into them a couple times , well I do.
If you have the time try to get them almost room temperature 45mins-1 hour on counter before you broil or grill so they will be more tender.
If you broil in oven, turn every 10 minutes and baste with leftover marinade to get crispy edges 3 or so times until cooked through.
Hope they turn out good, let me know. I cook by sight,
I think I got all the tricks down, lol
