Very much enjoyed the Dyneaudio tour Chris, as I had just purchased a pair for my European flat on which I am in the process of closing. I've visited Denmark, and while I don't quite agree that the Danes are the happiest people on the planet (trust me, that is merely a political narrative to push socialism and acceptance of high taxes on that nation), nor with the ideal of the Danish HYGEE (more on it at the link), I do agree the Danes can make very good products, excellent cinnamon rolls too, and their audio gear is often grossly underrated in favor of the small, and just as grossly-overpriced brands typically reviewed in the high end rags. As for the Danes love of hygee, see this: THE HAPPIEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD  http://canadafreepress.com/article/the-happiest-people-in-the-world

 

No, the Danes do not fit that bill. Not even close.

However, we Americans do.

 

In fact the latest PEW poll suggests that Americans now strongly believe they can, or have already, achieved the American Dream. http://pewrsr.ch/2A1EjqF

 

The Danes are content. Happiness is another matter.

 

A flock of sheep are content too. To be happy one needs to be challenged and feel he has achieved something worthwhile. And more: the key to happiness can be found from another well-known audiophile and orchestra conductor at: https://www.prageru.com/node/1155

 

We Americans - exceptions of the ingrates on football fields aside - have more of this human trait, universally expressed on Thanksgiving Day, as I write this - than any other people on earth. We are programmed to be happy provided we do not reject who we are.

 

In any event, you may be interested in my take on earbuds, and these from another European company. The take is that balanced armatures specifically and in general are garbage that belong in hearing aids and in the ears of half-deaf juveniles at HeadFi who fancy themselves reviewers and experts, not in high end audio products.

 

I'm sure I'll be crucified for my views by the various assemblers of these and the aforementioned juveniles. Nevertheless, as the fellow who coined DIGITAL SUCKS back in the eighties (I no longer think so by the way), I tend to be ahead of the current thinking usually by years, not days or weeks.  I'm a trader by profession, I had better be.

 

As were you ahead with Computer Audiophile.

What a condescending and nasty piece of writing which is typical of the way some Americans see the rest of the world.  My apologies to Chris for writing this but this post has no place (in my opinion) in this world wide site.

Hang in there Audio_Elf.  This fellow is not a typical American. The majority of American people are humble, self effacing and decent.  We are now going through an exercise that in the end will reinforce those values for another generation.  Please don't be too harsh on us as this plays out. It is very painful for us as well.

I did say some Americans.  Most Americans I know are nice people (like most Brits).
