Horizon House (is it still called that?) on Calvert in Mt Vernon has a cool rooftop pool. It’s not swanky but it has a pretty view of the old prison building which is some cool architecture.
The neighborhood is decent, old. It was gentrified/revitalized about 20 years ago, it’s a decent mix of Baltimore in a central area.

The LCD4 is the only headphone that actually makes me constantly forget I have a headphone on. That is the immersion I’m looking for. That bass and sub bass is just mesmerizing. They are second to none on imaging and dynamics IMO. I’m not saying the Elites aren’t great, just not my flavor for TOTL.

Not OP. I use the Burson soloist for a set of LCD-4’s, 200 Ohm
The only time I need to set the amp to high gain is if I’m using a ton of DSP/EQ settings. Most of the time I don’t need to move past the medium gain setting, and I listen LOUD. It’d be tough to find a headphone that this amp can’t drive, including the Susvara. It’s overkill for most headphones.

LCD-4
Preemptive; the weight does not bother my head/neck whatsoever, the weight distribution, clamping force, and massive earpads work on my head just perfectly.

Reply to Every Grado SR60 review by Refastico
SR80 got me into this hobby over 10 years ago. Bought them on Craigslist for $50 new/sealed box.
I’ve tried, bought, and sold probably ~20 sets of headphones since (all open back headphones), I’ve gotten to try about 95% of headphones discussed on this sub, including the Grado line, up to the GS1000, which I owned for about a year before deciding to sell. Of all of it, there are 4 models that I plan to keep indefinitely:
Audeze LCD4
Hifiman Arya Stealth (although I have not yet had a chance to demo the Susvara)
Grado Rs2e
Grado SR80 which is held together with electric tape. I will never part with them.

Dude, believe it or not, there are people in this sub that have careers AND hobbies and can afford to buy stuff. You don’t have to be “rich”. I’m a normal middle class guy 15 years into my career and since I don’t have 15 kids or some kind of crippling gambling or drug addiction, I can afford to spend money on a hobby I enjoy, just like lots of other people.
$1300 was a lot of money when I was 20, not at 35. It all about perspective, you don’t know anything about OP.

I looked at that place for my wedding reception, while beautiful, there are too many restrictions due to the historic preservation of the building. For example, no red wine (in case of spills on the original flooring), very limited access for where guests are allowed to go in the library etc

Reply to What headphone/audio stores do you trust? by MOK1N
I have had nothing but great experiences with Bloom audio, located just outside Philly. You can set up a demo of any product(s) if you’re in the area, if not, they include overnight shipping for orders over $500 (I think). They offer great support and have always been super responsive by phone and email, even if it’s a non-purchase related question. 10/10
Their YouTube reviews of specific products are good as well.

I have had nothing but positive experiences with Schiit. I had a Magni/Modi stack that lasted me 6 years (sold them with no issues). I’m currently running a Bifrost2 and a Freya with no issues (3 years). I also have had good experience with customer service, I bought a Valhalla2 and decided I didn’t like it (personal taste, the unit was fine), and after emailing them outside the return window, they still allows me to return it for a full refund.

John Brown has 2 locations, 1 in the city and 1 in the county. That makes you sound like the idiot. Take a deep breath, you sound pretty wound up, we’re just discussing a butcher, christ.

We should care, these are the fascists. Or at least these are the the people the fascists are using as puppets. It’s fucking obvious for any thinking person. There was a great piece in The Atlantic recently about the Philippines that discussed how media can be used for disinformation to bring these types of people up.
Also see Rwanda circa 1994 and Bosnia circa 1995. This is not far-fetched. It’s minimized when people call it grifting, this is how evil happens, and I use that word as an atheist.

Did you do chef style buffalo? That is where they excel IMO. And I have family in Buffalo NY, they’re as good as the ones I get up there. The other flavors at iBar are just good, but chef style, buffalo hot, hard fried, is heavenly (not to say I’ve been there on off-days, but when they’re on, it’s great).

Ha I was there about the same time 2012-2014. It was a fun place in my 20’s, although twice, in front of the building, I had 2 different people who literally just got out of the jail on the other side of 83 ask for directions.
A funny? sad? memory was when guy ask for directions to Ellicott City, on foot! He had a plastic bag with (I guess was) whatever he had on him whenever he went to jail. I started giving driving directions and he said he was walking, said he just got out of jail. I tried to tell him that’s just not really possible and told him maybe by bus, even offered fare, and he got frustrated with me, and finally just asked me to point him in the direction of EC. Literally pointed and that’s whatever adventure that dude embarked on that evening.
