iTzHard belongs to a group of people who say that they are not enthusiasts, even if they actually hear music on a really nice set of earphones.I do hope, I can remake this interview to iTzHard in a few years, with the hope that he has that midrange open back headset, until then he continues...

Kaguya-sama: Love is war.
It's no secret that I enjoy romantic stuff, but I really dislike anything which has too much cliche attached. So, I'm happy to say, that both the manga and the anime of "Kaguya-Sama: Love is war" won't disappoint in that regard, being a romantic comedy that will make you cheer the inability of the main...

Audio Enthusiasts – Mo.
I enjoy talking about a lot of things with Mo, he's a headphone enthusiast I relate to because we share the love for anime (which includes some very well-endowed female characters) and games. I highly value his opinion on a lot of subjects, and I will go to great lengths to hear his recommended headphones.A... Continue Reading →
From romantic music to soundtracks, some thoughts.
I enjoy a good love song, my wife often jokes about my rather unusual love for Italian and Spanish romantic songs because she hates them, but then I also enjoy songs about sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Hard to explain? Well, not really. I was raised with my older sister who loved romantic songs,... Continue Reading →
Adjusting my lifestyle.
A visit to the doctor. I'm fat, to put it bluntly, I'm obese and I was always like this since I was a little kid. I blame it mainly on myself, my life choices, my old civil construction job and to a lack of diet education, because yes, one should learn how to navigate around... Continue Reading →

How to spot a fake Sony MH750 / 755.
I really like the Sony MH750/755 models which were first praised by Crinacle on Head-Fi, so much that I bought from different shops just to find out there are a lot of turds fakes floating around these days. Crinacle wasn't kidding, so beware of fakes. It wasn't a truly altruistic endeavour, I just want to... Continue Reading →

end·game | \ ˈen(d)-ˌgām \Definition of endgame: the stage of a chess game after major reduction of forcesalso: the final stage of some action or processSource: http://www.merriam-webster.com There was a time I naively considered my headphone endgame to be the Beyerdynamic DT-880 and to be very sincere, if not a bit romantic, these venerable cans...

What changed since I started writing about Hi-Fi?
It was early 2013 when I first started writing on this blog, back then I despised audiophiles who spent hundreds in so called audiophile improvements. Most of those improvements aka tweaks were subjective and from my point of view probably snake oil. In my mind those audiophiles raised the price of gear, because audiophile companies...

Mainstream headphones.
Audiophile headphones* are a niche market, a profitable one but still small when compared with the professional and the mainstream markets. In this hobby most of us, if not all, tend to have a "limited" view based on our experience with gear, audio/music related knowledge and the communities we interact with. Let's imagine that our...

Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku.
On the last days of December I started watching a romantic comedy anime called "Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku". Now this isn't a typical cheesy romantic Hollywood style romantic comedy, it's an adult themed animation from studio A1-Pictures based on a Josei manga written and drawn by Fujita. Without spoiling too much, let's say... Continue Reading →
Going forward.
So it's that time again, and some people are already busy doing typical new-year promises and future goals lists. I'm no different, but I avoid promises I can't keep and my goals are rather simple when compared with most of the population. As life goes on, I just want to enjoy a growing relationship with...

Online piracy, anime, and music.
I already wrote about online piracy in 2013, 2014 and also more or less in 2016, it's a subject I can't really discuss freely because I'm not anonymous, even so, I can share some point of views related to file sharing.The other articles are now dated but for the most part, you should read them if...

Updating presets on a Korg A3.
This all started when the brother-in-law of my wife asked me to buy a cheap generic USB to MIDI cable so he could update the presets of a Korg A3 performance signal processor. The A3 is mostly known for the iconic "U2 - Mysterious Ways" guitar effect and is now a processor some guitarists want to... Continue Reading →
