Theres a small bore "quiet" model, a standard, a session "wide bore" model, and a leading tone model with an extra note below the base D. I like the sound of the session the most but it says its louder. Do they mean "blow my ears out" loud or just louder than its smaller bore siblings? Is it any louder than a lir or a killarney? I was considering one in future because I love their tone so much. Its just hard to judge volume over YouTube.

Heyo all I've been looking at a few of the mid/high end low D whistles and was wondering everyone's take on their playability and tone.

The whistles I'm wondering about are:

Burke viper aluminum,

Kerry chieftain v5 tunable,

MK pro,

Carbony low D wide bore close finger spacing.

On video all of these sound lovely and I am particularly in love with the carbony whistles in general because they tend to sound rounder and more melancholy.

The burke has an awesome bell note, the chieftain seems well balanced, the MK pro sounds very nice but also kind of boring to me but that might just be because it does everything pretty equally well. Anyone who's played any of these please do chime in with your takes.

The caveat is I'm new but I've played ocarina and recorder and I grabbed a shush pro because it seemed like a good learning platform for tin whistle but the the lowest D and E require SUCH a small amount of breath that its really throwing me. Are all whistles like this or is this a quirk of the model? My lungs are pretty good I'd trade less efficiency for more stability. I originally ordered a lir pro high D and then was concerned it would be too loud for the phase where everything sounds bad as I learn. (its still on the way) will more "standard" whistles be more flexible? Apologies if this is a silly question

Hey I have sennheiser 58X jubilees ive been using for over 5 years and I like them quite a bit but I want to change things up. I've been running them on a schiit magni heresy and modi 3e stack. Headphones ive been considering:

- HD 490 pro

- HD 480 pro

- HD660S2

- fiio FT1 pro

- fiio FT7

-hedd D1

Open to basically anything except hifiman because I don't like gambling on QC.

Budget is $800USD max but likely lower unless the D1 pulls me over.

Also is my amp and dac setup good enough for these? Or should I get something else to get the most out of them? I'm not married to the 58X sound so a complete departure would be fine I just want them versatile since I listen to lots fo different stuff and will use them for media as well.

I have a corsair 650w PSU currently. Keep using that, use the rosehill, or buy a better one? My build is over 5 years old at this point.
