Hiwatt is one of my favourite manufacturers ever. I've yet to be disappointed in any of their models, even the "not real Hiwatt" ones. A Custom is on my bucket list. Some days I'm tempted to sell a bunch of other amps for one, but I don't think I can do it.

His videos doesn't really need that framing-device though so why? Is it some kind of oblique pitch-deck for something else? But if he's having a good time then nevermind.

I'd wager he makes a shittonne more as a youtuber than he does from spotify or whatever so he's leaning into it. Checking out his music the listener count is way lower than I expected, the production and sound design on his electronic tracks is spectacular though.

Pondex posted:His videos doesn't really need that framing-device though so why? Is it some kind of oblique pitch-deck for something else? Yeah, it's just a weird pivot. He made a video about having a baby soon, then immediately went to space. What's extra strange is his videos have always been pretty high-production (compared to say, a SeamlessR or Mr. Bill where it's a static shot of dude in his cave/studio) and now his Ableton Live tutorials look like mid-high budget sci-fi TV. The latest one has dialogue and a cliffhanger. It's just ... kind of rad. No one is putting nearly as much effort and money into their videos. Did he get a grant from a Canadian film board or something? A grant would explain why he's suddenly got a narrative. For clarity: I think the guy rocks, he's obviously a brilliant musician and creative. I just want to know more.

I have this great business venture - it's "content vacation package" for online creators. For one low fee they: - Work out a channel-appropriate narrative - Fly you out to a disused escape room/film set - Shoot X days worth of your content (Instagram, YouTube) using the sets and costumes provided in about 24 hours and let you go home - Give you said X days worth of content to post up while you take a break at home for X days - Sign a mutual NDA about the whole process so content creators can take a couple weeks off If this isn't a package like that, I'm sure someone could get a venture like this started. massive spider posted:I'd wager he makes a shittonne more as a youtuber than he does from spotify or whatever so he's leaning into it.

muike posted:that'd look really cool all scorched up Seems like if you can find the right marks making turntable plinths is probably way more profitable than custom guitars. That's £3k for something that doesn't need anywhere near the amount of precision or hand carving that a guitar of the same price would require.

Wouldn't tonewood completely ruin the experience? If course, this is not relevant for this hand carved sonically neutral king's oak plinth, which perfectly preserves the qualities of the recording.

If they just want mass why wouldn't he just carve one once and make a mold and pour concrete versions. You can do all sorts of fancy finishes with it dyed, polished, embedded fiber optic lighting etc...

former glory posted:http://www.audiophile.rocks/termino.html I love audiophiles. What the gently caress is an artificial ground? In what universe are you modifying an amp in a house you don't live in, and how would you even hear it with the unfamiliar acoustics and talking? But also buying higher end speakers sucks, because the seller is guaranteed to be an audiophile and be will give you well meaning advice, half of which will be good, but the other half is huffed farts. I was almost considering buying some dumb tone cables, because the things about placement and speaker size and stuff he told me made sense. Edit: holy poo poo, that's not the full text you quoted, it gets worse. I have a hard time believing it's not a joke or a scam, it's just too over the top. But on the other hand, audiophiles.

Fifteen or so years ago, I did design and web work for a guy whose business was selling audio cables where the copper cable was "oxygen free" and there was a vacuum barrier between the cable and the rest of it. He paid a mint for the rights to it and it's weird to try to read about it because wikipedia says it's about the content of the copper but his whole thing was "it's like listening to your audio in space". "The high-end speaker wire industry markets oxygen-free copper as having enhanced conductivity or other electrical properties that are supposedly advantageous to audio signal transmission. In fact, conductivity specifications for common C11000 (ETP) and higher-cost C10200 oxygen-free (OF) coppers are identical;[12] and even the much more expensive C10100 has only a one-percent higher conductivity—insignificant in audio applications.[12] OFC is nevertheless sold for both audio and video signals in audio playback systems and home cinema.[12] " It was hilarious at the time how what he was charging for his special audio wires was in director proportion to how much he wanted to argue down his price.

"I hooked the cord up to my MBL dac and was stunned motionless. I became paralyzed, sort of a dream paralysis perhaps, unable to move even after the CD ended. The sound was so expansive, there were no walls, every instrument and voice could be clearly followed while at the same time the entire blend of sound was unified into a single flow of music. Even at 90db + volume with a rock beat, the music was so relaxing that I was immediately placed into a trance, unaware of my body or the room around me, just pulled along by the music." This is for a powercable

That gajillion-dollar 4 foot power cable represents what... 1-2% of the cable between the closest power line and transformer, and the stereo system. Also yeah it's a goddamn power cable. Clarity in the "trainsients" in good stereo systems happen because of adequate wattage and good capacitors that can store lots of power for quick release for those transients that happen with loud bass drum hits or whatever. "Lower noise floor" from power sources happens when you add in independent high quality isolation transformers, which are parts that exist outside power cables. It is complete horse poo poo.
