A few months ago I grabbed this torrent from rarbg, and it took weeks to download. Often going days with no seeders.

I finally got it, and decided I’d seed beyond my usual 2x to help others get this. Then rarbg went under, and now I think I’ll just keep this one going.

    Try it out and see for yourself if it’s worth it to you.

    Even with fancy gear some people don’t appreciate higher quality, i’m somewhat jealous, because that would save me so much money.

      Try getting older!

      A decade ago, I was extremely into hi-fi — most of my disposable income went to it. (Martin Logan electrostatic speakers and McIntosh amps, stereo JL Fathom 13.5” subs, sound treatment and reference mic for balancing and analysis …)

      Now? I’m perfectly and completely pleased with my AirPods Max. My hearing just ain’t what it used to be, and I genuinely don’t hear the slightest difference. (… obviously modulo feeling the bass, hah.)

      (Yes. I listen to music over Bluetooth. Not even APT-X. WHO HAVE I BECOME? 😭)

        The process already started, i’ve bought myself some Anker bluetooth buds for 24€ recently just for podcasts and sounds for sleeping. I have to say, you can make out a difference for sure, but why the fuck have i spent 3k on headphone and DAC, i’m starting to question myself if that noticeable but not immense improvement was worth that kind of money.

        I still don’t regret it and enjoy it while it lasts, but i don’t know if i will do that again.

        Maybe we just made inner peace with the knowledge that we experienced higher-end and can settle for less.
