The reason they stay in your ears better is they are a fundamentally different design. The old (and still available!) wired ear pods were designed to be cradled by the outer ear. The airpods pro 2 have a squidgy rubber tip that you jam into your ear canal. The airpods (not pro) have the same type of design as the old ear pods.

After a few months of scuttlebutt, it's here! https://www.quilterlabs.com/collections/bass-amplifiers/products/bass-block-v803 My first impression is they've learned some lessons about making a radical-ish amp. They've kept a few of their really unique radical ideas (I don't understand the implementation, but the power section sounds like something quite unique.) but they've made some things more palatable, or ordinary, like they EQ section. I hope this sells well. I love my 800.

I forgot to do a NAD, but after @ossyrocks was waxing lyrical to me about these old GKs at the NW Bash, I found this baby on facebook marketplace and snapped it up. It's pretty beaten up, but it does sound great.

There’s an interview with Bob Gallien on YouTube where he’s discussing the new line of amps. He talks about his early designs. If I remember, he says that it was usual for the designs of the time to remain stuck at rail voltage if they hit it, and take a long time to become unstuck. He modified the design to come unstuck much more quickly. I’ll try to find the link later.

Thanks for the answers folks. I'll see how close I can get. Turns out I have a close-ish match for that bass.

I love the way the bass sounds in this recording. Warm and round at times, and then really crunchy and rich when the player digs in a bit. How is he achieving this? Is it just great technique and compression? Are there some custom pickups in that bass? Is it a 60s P? Effects? Something else?

The dudepit! What a place that was.

I’m an Apple Music user. I like that there are other apps that use the Apple Music database, such as LongPlay and MusicHarbour. Perhaps there are similar things for Spotify?
