not much of an argument if you ask me.

i've been wanting to meet him since he's a friend/acquaintance of another audiophile friend i have (mainly based in Singapore now) and have some nice chat/audition/tt sessions
our timing just wasn't right sadly.

that said, he is filthy rich having an estimated 20-40k (very highly possibly more) on his audio stuff and afaik still not even in the workforce yet

maybe graduated this/last year kot? prior that i'm pretty sure he's still studying/traveling with parents.

been a while since i've poked him/those guys at Singapore after all, since they are way out of my league in the gear they play. the 2.5-2.6 currency disadvantage puts a lot of stress on me/my pocket as well lol.
then there's the interest shift into being an adrenaline junkie

but yea, see his listing? try to sum up the price

i see you've been lurking there for a very long while?

i can understand where he's coming from though, and to be honest he does have some sound points.
i personally hate sidegrades as well, and often gets judged by many for my spendings simply because i just want to "do things once do it right".
Honestly i don't blame him, he is rich after all and when you're so high up, often you tend to miss the rough, finer things down below.

doesn't really matter to me.

can look up my youtube lol.

well if you're lurking there, you're probably aware of the gathering on november? consider joining

like i said, doesn't matter.

if anything i've been finding excuse to get some new pretty samsungs.

doesn't seem to interest me.

and i'm pretty fine on the 4B10... i did crash my car just 4 months of ownership after all.

ive linked some of them on this forum lol

i also not bringing my gears... since it's a bit worn and what not, the sponges are coming out of the ear pads lol
not replacing them atm because i still haven't got my speakers replaced yet and those imported lambskin ear pads don't come cheap lol

A bit of hurt is inevitable in any relationship. My car is very much fine now, in fact I fixed everything within a day.

Lol pro feminine. You should dig up some of my posts on cupid corner to see where I stand

My headphones are working fine tyvm. Only aesthetics issue or hygienic issue if you're very particular.

When those replacements cost rm 300 and head fi isn't a priority atm, you get the idea

go figure.

i would disagree depending on what kinda pop/rock you're listening to especially the recent ones.

if your audio equipment suck, good luck dealing with sound stage and instrument separations

try something like Aldnoah Zero OST, or basically almost anything from Sawano Hiroyuki

from very heavy mixing to even orchestra and of course vocals included; anything under the ~1k setup (depending on environment/setup scaling, such as headfi vs hifi/car audio etc) will find it hard to keep up/full reproduction.

well i settled for mid range on my headfi, so don't really need to worry about source quality too much.

personally, just play what you like and not bother about genre or trying to "utilize" your equipment. music should always come first, equipment second.

i like mass produced chikin

i'm quite firm on my music preference and there's no need for me to deviate away. I already lack time to enjoy my collection fully (i've got stacks of un ripped/unscanned CDs lol) much less explore around non anisong music anyways.

during gathering, i pretty much bring my own thumbdrive with a whole set of different genre music to i can get to utilize various setups accordingly

i understood, but i'm saying we don't really need specific music just to "utilize" audio gear or generate conversation.

If you've been to enough audio(phile) meets/gath, you'll realize soon enough that we have a common language that doesn't require each other to listen to the same music. For example, If 2 person chatting over a particular track after an audition is done on a setup that belongs to 1 of the respective person between the 2, even if the person listening to a song unfamiliar to the owner of the setup he/she would still be able to convey how a setup is disregard of the music.

Of course if the need arises music are also shared and who knows you can pick up something as what you've been trying to say. It's just my preference that i got my hands full and i'm not very willing to accept anything new when i'm in constant update of "new" anime music. Imagine this: i watch about 10-20++ anime titles at any given season, per title is easily 2 singles and an OST (assuming i like it) and every season i import at least 2-3 CDs from amazon/cdjapan.

While my original intentions are never buying for the sake of buying or keeping as you mentioned, it just happened due to the number of hobbies i am actively engaged at and of course my poor time management skills

i'm just a kuli, and if you haven't notice i generally only lurk LYN during office hours

when i'm at home, i only respond to post notifications/pm

was waiting for a process to finish before sleeping
and i just done "dinner"/shower after finishing my first engine bay wash for my Inspira (see? i take good care of her ) around 2/3am

=edit=
oh ya, my work DO involve graveyard shifts sometimes, and it's not shift based, spontaneous incidents/requests etc
