Audio event 2017

Totally accidentally I heard that will be great audio event. And on Sunday there will be headphones testing room with audio enthusiasts and companies exhibitions who sell audio equipment. So i got goals set before I go to headphones testing room. Here are results:
  • Test Beyerdynamic T1 (as I'm using DT770 and it matches my sound taste) - unfortunately there was no example for testing
  • Test Senheiser HD700S - I got a chance only test HD700. Of course it sounds nice, but for those 10 minutes that i tested it i did not spend 1400Eur for it
  • Test Chord Mojo - no example for testing
  • Any of STAX examples (SRS-3100, L700, etc.) for planar magnetic technology - no examples for testing

Here are additional tested equipment results:
  • Headphones: Grado SR325e, Grado GS1000e, HiFiMan X, Oppo PM-2
  • DACs: Aurender Flow, Audiolab M-DAC mini. Aurender sounds very nice, just lacking coaxial in port.

What password to choose

It is difficult to create password who will be secure and easy to remember on the same time. But one time i found this image on internet wastelands and it helped me to understand how could easy to remember and secure password could be created:


You got the point, but even more - if you will use your local language words who are non English it makes password more difficult to crack. It is, because person, who will want to brute force your password, will have to use good dictionary. English language have many good dictionaries, because it is used worldwide, meanwhile other languages may not. And if you involve some old words, that is not used in modern language, it could create long password who could be almost impossible to crack.
