    Original Saku got a reaction from Rahzel in Top 5 favourite animes   
    man this is such a loaded discussion but since it is top 5 "favorite" here are mine in no particular order.
     
    Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu
    Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo
    Hajime no Ippo
    FLCL
    3-gatsu no Lion
     
    That was legit hard as fuck, if you were to ask me to do it over next week it would likely be completely different (except FLCL, that shit will always be a fav). oh btw I started watching anime in 1999 when I was around 7 years old.
     
    now i will include what I consider to be top 5 of all time, there's a important distinction between the two;
     
    Dragon Ball
    Kidou Senshi Gundam
    Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu
    Cowboy Bebop
    Ghost in the shell
    (would probably throw evangelion in here somewhere as well as Akira if we are doing movies)

    So I've fallen pretty hard into HiFi (High Fidelity) audio gear and lifestyle. I've amassed a pretty good setup and a nice collection of gear and was wondering if there was any interest here on the forum. We can pretty much just use this thread to post pictures of each others setups and stuff essentially as well as discuss different gear. I know we already have a headphone thread, but don't be afraid to post headphones/earphones in here as well, I'm aiming to make this a general audio gear thread, so post away.
     
    post pictures of whatever you want your full setup or individual gear. Doesn't have to be limited to desk setups either, shows us your living- room setups and movie watching systems.
     
    I'll start by just posting some pictures of my current desk setup .
     
     


     

     

     

     
    that's enough for now, next time I'll get some pictures of my tv setup and maybe some of my portable gear.

    They only did that with Fire Emblem Fates... and I agree it was stupid . I don't want to have to buy it twice to get the whole experience. Fire Emblem Awakening though is still worth checking out if you're interested in the series, it's the game that kinda ignited the series current popularity over here in the west and is really good, perfect game to start with as well.

    Anime I've really enjoyed lately are NEW GAME!, Hibike Euphonium, Working!!, Denkigai, Gabriel Dropout, Sweetness & Lightning, I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying, Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, Watamote and Interviews With Monster Girls. I don't watch a lot of anime films, but I liked A Silent Voice and Ponyo was incredibly sweet.
    I started Chio's School Road today. I like it so far after 3 eps!

    Not gonna lie doe, Jojo would have been #5 (and bumped Violet Evergarden off), but I just can't get anyone else to watch it, making me think I'm the only one who thought it was good, so I must be wrong lol.

    I've had them for a few years. I've got the HD 600, the Corsair VOID RGB headset, ATH M50xs, the HD 518's and the HiFiMan HE 400, and the 600s are my favorite pair to use. They sound just as good as the planars and they're a lot lighter on the head. Velour pads are a god send for long listening sessions in humid weather. That's why I ended up modding those headphones and not a different pair that I barely use. Never had the pleasure of owning a tube amp, so I can't say how they sound with those, but the Magni/Modi 1 drive them just fine. Sound very neutral and that can either be an excellent thing or a bad thing, depends on if you like flavor in your  music. But honestly that's something a bit of EQ can fix. I like the neutral sound, even if it can be a bit revealing at times.

    I've never listened to the mad dogs myself but I've heard that the MK3 is close but just not as refined at the MD mod. Also the MK3 are even more power hungry than the MD, if you can barely push the MD then you have no chance for the MK3. It is the most power hungry cans I own. As for sound the MK3 is super mid focused with a decent amount of treble, they shine with female vocals and is my favorite thing about listening to them. They are a little bass-lite which is one of the main reasons I'm gonna send them in for the Argon conversion.
     
    Yeah Zeos is a big influence on my purchasing habits as well as a few other reviewers, I took both the foobar portrait ultra wide monitor and the yoga mat idea from his setup for my own. but seriously yoga mat is like one of the best things I ever discovered from him, I put that shit on everything now. It is vibration and sound dampening as well as slip proof and it makes everything look cooler imo, also don't have to worry about dust anymore.

    The Mad Dogs are still really nice, but the stickers on the side have peeled off so they just look like the MK2s on the outside. I actually bought the last pair Dan sold on the site, so hopefully mine last for a long time. I thought about the Alpha upgrade, but I heard the mod made the cans slightly too sibilant, which I'm a bit sensitive to. The stack is nice, but the Magni 2 doesn't drive enough power to my liking for the MDs which I have it go out to the Panasonic (so it functions as a pre-amp.)
     
    How do the MK3s compare to the Mad Dog mod? I heard the MK3s were a marked improvement over the MK2s, but I wasn't sure how they compared to the MDs.
     
    Also have to mention that your setup reminds me of Zeos' (Z Reviews), who's influenced most of my audio-related purchases.
     
     
    Nice :D. Oh yea, none of them play nice with USB 3.0. I have a USB 2.0 switcher that my Modi is plugged in to.

    Forgot to mention on the portable end I have LG Tone Platinums (I bought refurb), Jaybird X3s (that need repairing), Tin Audio T2s, and Koss KSC75s (rip etika). Since adapters/dongles are dogshit and bluetooth eats my battery, I have my iPod Classic 6g w/ Rockbox as my backup device once the phone battery gets low. Also my Vita can't do newer gen bluetooth, so I'm forced to go wired anyway.

    Right now I've got:
    Shure SE215's: longest lasting pair I've had, got 'em in late '15, had to replace the cable once last year, but I'm thinking of upgrading
     
    Burmester speakers for my car ('10 Porsche Panamera S): dropped the bass by 3/6, raised the treble by 3/6, gives it a more balanced sound, no other modifications.
     
    [doesn't have pictures of the car speakers]
     
    I unfortunately don't have any good in-home speakers. A few years ago, I got a DOSS Bluetooth speaker to use with my computer and turntable, but it sounds shitty so I use it as a book-end for my 7" records.
     
    Whenever I listen to records, I have a Creative Sound Blaster that I only use so I can adjust the volume (left). Sometimes when I don't want to move my record player from the shelf in my closet to the floor or my desk, I'll add in some Bluetooth equipment that purists would frown upon (right).

     
    Most of my music listening is with my earbuds or in the car, so what I've got works for now (unless everyone's gone and I want to listen to music on speakers, in which case, ugh).

    Speaking of Schiit stacks, @colorful人生 inspired me to get my own Magni/Modi set up. I was having trouble getting Windows 10 to recognize the device as something that plugs in but doesn't communicate with it. I think I need to avoid USB 3.0 ports or something because the Magni/Modi 1 doesn't play nice with them.


     
    And here's what it's attached to, Sennheiser HD 600 with a Modmic Wireless attached.

    Yeah, Zenitsu and Inosuke can be a bit grating. I'm not sure if the manga is the same, but the comic relief from these two honestly seem a bit forced and grating at times.
     
    But yeah, outside of that, I've really been enjoying this. I thought the show was kinda cool at first, but this whole arc with them going up the mountain has really started to hook me. From a sheer production point -> the animation, the effects, the score, the music direction - everything has been AMAZING. I mean....BRUHHHHH. I got chills during that scene where Tanjiro beheaded Rui. The team behind this is something else, and i'm looking forward to experience what else they have in store.

    yeah that is legit one of my biggest gripes with the show, Zenitsu is so annoying in a lot of his scenes, but i guess that is the point of his character and makes sense in the long run with his character payoff in this current arc.

    Mob psycho 100 is one of the most satisfying adaptions I've ever seen, also one of the most uniquely animated, it is so good. I can't wait for the 3rd and final season. 3 gatsu no lion is likewise amazing as well, I'm confident saying that it is one of my favorite shows ever.

    Let's see, of the currently airing anime, the ones I'm enjoying the most are Dr. Stone, Vinland Saga, Araburu Kisetsu no Otome-domo yo, Fruits Basket, and Kimetsu no Yaiba.
    Yesss! What a gorgeous series, it does the manga such justice. I especially appreciate how they animated the attacks with the stylized water and all. And the hilarity of reaction faces, they fill me with such joy. Also, kudos for the 3-gatsu no Lion avatar, one of my favorite anime series as well.
