seemingly you don't believe in the phrase "money can't buy everything"...

anyways, money is something i don't have lar... so, the argument is not quite valid to begin with...

by what you are saying is true, that means even nana is even willing to spend the night with me if i throw enough money at her... i believe, in no way is that gonna be true... vanessa hudgens and miley cyris, maybe...

whatever it is... it's gonna take a miracle for it to happen...

You are killing me...

cos it doesn't project the image of cuteness...

doubt so... if so, with who? TMR? that dude is like 44 years old and looks no older than justin bieber... even Gackt loses out to this fella...

it's a matter of preference

let's see quazacolt make it happen...

millionaire? WTH... wat can tat get you nowadays... at least start with billionaire lar dude... you still stuck in monopoly era la...

if you are a gazillionaire... maybe the chances grow to 50%...

like you've seen her handwriting before... any japanese writings just looks like a bunch of scribbles written by a doctor...

if she accepts my money for that purpose... i might as well go kill myself...

face the reality...

The Live Flight x Live Flight+ disc will be out on January 14th 2015

http://www.mizukinana.jp/news/index.html#news554

looks like it's a recording of the last AIR14 @ Yokohama stadium and Resorts world Singapore for Live Flight+... wonder why they choose Singapore this time over Taiwan?

Anyways, start saving your 7.7k yen come January...

apparently not quazacolt.. he is totally un-ethical....

as hard as it is to accept.. she has to cater to the majority and un-fortunately... you are not the majority...

is there? i haven't seen any.. but i seldom surf chinese forums anyways...got link?

i am not sure... but it just doesn't seem like she can find the time to write so many when she only arrived the night before... you yourself seen it with your own eyes that how much is blown out right? she might have lend her hand in writing a few but i am not sure she done all of it...

i haven't really listen to it yet... my disc from cdjapan just arrived today but i won't be opening it up... will just wait for someone to upload some FLAC files of the actual single instead...

not really my taste to be exact from watching the PV...

with only the 3 of us? far from it...

as of the last couple of pages.. only 3 of us present... so, unless you are seeing something else that our eyes can't see... Yes, 3...

Auspiciously, if you can find another 4 and make it 7 then it would be great...

WOW!!! just WOW...

但如果吃東西的口味相近就更加分
i like japanese curry too

且就算年紀比較小也OK
i am just slightly younger, in fact i can celebrate birthday together with her as i am just 1 day apart...

只要身高比她高就夠了!
if she dun wear 10inch high heels... i should be taller than her

YAY!!!!

now... i jus have to go gain mahself some RESPECT!!!

i'll start with Quazacolt first as that b@stard has been disrespecting me all along...

unfortunately yes... my top favourite songs is nevertheless still powergate, super generation, pop master, love brick, dramatic love and discotheque... something along the line of that... actually, come to think of it... none of that is considered cutey except for dramatic love, lovely fruit and discotheque...

i have some slow songs that i like too like the more recent ai no hoshi but majority of it is still the slightly faster songs.. 7月7日 with mika agematsu is not bad too... (i wonder if mika is a KR tie or really Nana's personal friend since she started with KR anyways)

i mean i listened to the song through the PV since the actual track is not out yet... anything that is floating on the internet out there is most likely ripped from the PV anyways... actually i only heard kindan no resistance... i didn't know the rest had a PV...

actually... i kinda hated some of her more recent PVs.. it's like it has some gothic feel to it... those like lovely fruit is actually not bad...

i don't always have lossless files of hers... only when i can find it on places like jpddl or jpfiles...

i do have a stereo set at home powered by a marantz ki pearl lite (not really the setup to listen to this type of songs)... but, i do most of the listening in my car anyways... when i am not in my car, then it would be my phone or mp3 player through my IEMs...

taiwanese is still taiwanese... dunno how to photochop the teeth nicely



in Japan, sure the picture would look perfect adi... i bet they have a special post in japan called "teeth retoucher"

i am taller than that lar... which is why i say if she dun wear some 10 inch heels, then i would definitely be taller than her...

powergate is old and it's one of my favourites... infact, it's the first song i listened to of hers...

another first i remember was Super Generation, first song she did the lyrics and composition if i am not wrong... she never did arrangements still though... i think that is the next step for her to be a more complete artiste...

you scared the living crap outta me... i thought i missed something and went googled the hell out of those missing PVs...

not really...

people are willing to shell out for IEMs nowadays compared to back then... having a pair of sub 500 IEMs or cans i noticed is kinda of a trend nowadays...

i dunno much about women's fashion... so i cincai cakap aje la... 10inch is 25cm leh... that's like a couple of steps on the staircase already...

as i mentioned before... i listened to the same song for a very long time without knowing the name of the song or the singer... maybe i was able to guess the name of the song but i didn't tried to go search it...

i just got it randomly off the net back then when MP3 ID3 tagging was still kinda shitty back then as CDDB databases wasn't as well established and people had to manually key in everything when they encode it...so, i guess they just got lazy with my file i guess...

yup... that part is fun, it's a bit of a good trick to get audiences to participate...and it also takes care of the people who cannot buy or get good seatings by visiting all the fans whether they are at the back or far up...

in live circus, she went to make the rounds using super generation instead...the nicest one i think has to be given to Live Union where she did power gate again...they put fireworks while that song was sang....

yup... artistes had to use those to block out sound and ensure that it fits snugly.. it doesn't loosen as easily as as it is shaped to fit their ears... it helps that most of this units also sound very neutral and has such good separation that the artiste can here clearly her band playing as thought they are the only ones there...

i went as far a quad drivers and had to back of as it started to cost too much... did considered UE 18 Pro and Westone ES5 before but backed off at the end...

boss... this is the age of the internet lar...

isn't that how anyone discover anything at all???

takkan you mean that you know Norah Jones is just going to be a great jazz singer since your birth and you set out from day 1 out of your mummy's uterus to discover her some 20 odd years down the road knowing what she would become all the time even before she got famous...

i doubt so...

i had a pair of universal quad driver westone w4r and before that a pair of triple driver shure 535...didn't have any customs... the thought only crossed my mind before only and it did not materialize...

not a lot... among my list of better impressions in either demo units of customs in universal form or those already custom molded for someone (which is not the really the most ideal way to try anything)... UE 18 Pro, ES5, V6 (1964 ears), 2 of the JH Audio models (can't remember exactly)....

with customs, it's not about the sound signature of the units, there is also the comfort of the unit itself as some of them might have vinyl tips which is softer for long hours of listening and some other factors that affects decision making...and decision making is crucial especially because this things practically have no second hand value in market because re-shelling them is a pain and most manufacturers do not encourage transfer of ownership (warranty voids, no free re-shelling and blah blah blah making it hard to let go if you realize a wrong decision have been made)

it sounds better, it is just that whether if you are trained to pickup the subtle audible differences...

and when you are that deep into that far end of the spectrum of audiophiles comes the question of "are you still enjoying music listening or are you just enjoying analyzing sonic signatures?"...

this is why short term demos and tests are useless as everything in my opinion will feel "good" at initial try because it is for

1) partly a new sensatory experience

2) your mind is tricked into thinking that maybe the items being tested is better because
2a) it is priced higher than what you own or have experience with
2b) what people says about it in reviews or conversations (which is what any new age internet enabled person would do as part of research before buying anything)... in other words, power of suggestion

so, the only way to know that your mind is not playing tricks on your short trial tests is to really perform a double blind testing in order to confirm that you know for sure out of your own conclusion that a certain item is better because you really can identify it is the superior one rather than being influenced by the power of suggestion..

partly... as before that i already realized it's quite a bit of money being thrown into it (we are not talking about IEM's alone here, you have to deal with player, DAC, amplification, interconnects if you go nuts in it)

the same can be said for larger sized audio systems where normal people would just concentrate on getting the amplification and speakers right...some might go further and get the correct cables to correct or improve the sound signature... crazy ones might look into power filtering, investing in rhodium plated fuses and faceplates... even crazier ones would then go all the way out of the setup itself and hack their own house to even change the power lines to make them less resistive and get shielded from whatever EMI roaming around us and swapping out the ELCB and MCB at main electrical junctions, separating out all the other house hold items electrical circuit grid from the audio system ones...

so, i can only say it is a case of how extreme or perfectionist an audiophile you can be and how much $$$ you have at your disposal...

Tats it... Won't take anymore of this shit!!!

i am not scolding you... i am just saying no one ever knows what they like without every finding it out one way or the other... it could be listening to a radio, a song from a TV commercial... no one knows...

customs would require even more... seriously... it's a road with no u-turn...

with customs... some sort of tuning can be done to owner preference assuming they can accurately describe what they are looking for ... that is why UE did this (Personal Reference Monitors)...

in theory, the sound is the priority of any IEM... but as you know IEMs deal with sticking a canal into your outer ear for it to work.. and it might be a bit uncomfortable to wear something that is hard for long hours of listening which is why vinyl canal tips was introduced by makers like 1964 ears... the soft canal does have it's problem as it discolors over time and stuff like that... + & - for each but as it is IEM... it is up to owners to custom it to what they feel is best for them...

fitear is bonkers... i wouldn't go anywhere near it due to it's priced... it's way too premium a kind of product in my opinion... look at it's universal TG334 and you understand why...



there is no right or wrong.. as long as you know what you want and don't regret it...

IEM's might need amplication in some cases.. but IEMs with balanced armature drivers are typically more efficient making them able to run with most devices... how it sounds is totally another different matter...

there are several reasons why amps are involved... but the basics still revolve around your choice of listening equipment and then matching them in terms of the IEM's impedance and your listening device output impedance...it's all about a mesh of matched up components...

then amplification comes in because some people do not like or trust the amplification circuit on their output devices...so, they decide to bypass it by using the line level output and feed the cleaner signal to a better external amp... and then there are some people who goes nuts and decides that the player is only good for decoding media files and even wants to rip the digital analogue conversion responsibility away from their player (assuming it allows that to happen in the first place) and stream the digital signals direct to an external DAC and from the DAC to feed the external amp via the DAC's line out...

it's crazy once you get there and you are very likely neck deep in shit once you realized it...

being loud is not what is important about any speakers or earphones... it's about being able to reproduce sounds as they were meant to be without first distortion and second adding colorization to it...so, what sounds loud is not usually good... and listening levels should never exceed ear deafening levels...

he knows i am jus messin with him...
