Good to know. I have no experience with the latest generation of X-trans sensors, my only X camera was the X-T10 and the problem was severe, even with SOOC jpegs, meaning even the internal processor couldn't deal well with X-trans pattern demosaicing.

Ok thanks. That's a big resounding no for me, then. The very noticeable X-trans worms/painterly effects from the OOC Jpegs of my X-T10 are the reasons why I finally abandoned digital photography years ago and moved back to (scanned) film. I wish Fuji all the best though - their medium format...

I've been out of the digital photography loop for a while. Do these new Fuji X models still mount X-trans-based sensors?

Britain will take action over the death in prison of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny and it is calling on other countries to do likewise, British foreign minister David Cameron said on Saturday...

Hey Putin You're a very little man. You deserve to end your days feet up in Piazzale Loreto like another little, insignificant man like you.

Chill man. Have a good weekend filled with well tuned, better balanced listening with any genre of music you'll want to respond to.

You forgot to add 'in my opinion'. I don't analyse music and I love my HD800. People are different, you know? Perhaps you and I just have differently shaped ear canals? Who knows. Anyhow, enjoy your 'inferior' HD600 ;)

Thanks. The genelecs are not an option due to low WAF. I'll need wooden cabinets. I'll definitely audition a few as these will be the centre of my "endgame" setup for a while hopefully.

So that leaves the ATC and Dynaudios in the price range. Any other brands to audition in the mid to high range home active sector?

Good point. Not at all. They're never really wireless are they, as the power chords are there. Who's still making actives without the wireless/integrated DAC malarkey. ATC? I want to get rid of the power amp, but am happy with my tiny Benchmark DAC preamp with a bunch of digital and analog inputs.

Has anyone tried them? (link) Any good reviews? Is the rather steep entry price warranted given the performance? Class D amps presumably.. Would use them purely for 2.0 hifi audio duties.

I find the remasters ok sounding to be honest. There's much worse Nothing like my Alan Yoshida XRCD24 Blue Notes or some of my APOs but they're fine on my setup. Metal has been treated much worse than Hard rock by the analog to digital transition. All of my Iron Maiden CDs are close to...

I'm about to embark on a long train trip across Europe soon. I sort of have a phobia of these nasty little critters. Anything I could spray on the train seat and head rest to sort of travel at peace with myself? Eau de Cologne? Hydrochloric acid?

Gorgeous

Here's my most recent purchase Incredibly small, and well made, like all other Zuiko OM primes I have. Balances nicely on my beloved OM2n. I've never owned a medium tele so I'm looking forward to the composition challenges. I've just developed the first test roll, it's hanging to dry. I...
