Headphones: HD820, ESP950, Raal SR-1a, HE6se
Speakers: adam T5v, dual subs, dirac via minidsp, and a half a bottle of whisky
Analysis: poor mixing
Conclusion: play it loud and fuck everything
Heart: what a fucking album, it makes me so happy
Blink is trying to create a vibe with their mix…
they could create an audiophile type recording but that’s not their sound.
Blink is nostalgia music
Blink is always great at Vans Warped Tour when there’s another band playing on a stage 100 yards away
It’s been a long time since I’ve listened to Blink … since well before I turned into a sooty audiophile. They were okay for listening in a car. So I’m going into this with a bad attitude.
Speakers: Homemade DML panels, Hypex Nilai amp, Bottlehead Moreplay preamp, Denifrips Aries 2 ladder DAC, Apple Music lossless (why bother?).
Headphones: HD650, Bottlehead Crack, Moreplay etc. (see above).
