The Shit List

I don’t know about that lol

Folks do this all the time, it’s ok though and part of the learning experience. :man_shrugging:.

People gotta grow, how they grow into the hobby will vary and that’s OK :+1:

Great job on putting all your musings into words, so very much appreciate the work and time this took you :pinched_fingers:

People being disillusioned in hardware they hastily bought and not taking the synergy of their chain into consideration is how the rest of the world gets to pounce on bargains.

The more equipment churns the better the deals are.

Also a great opportunity to raise prices on stuff that’s made the list. :wink:

You can keep the name “Shit List”, in fact, I do prefer it because it’s pretty funny. But I think if you make it public, you will attract a younger audience. I myself associate tier list with the younger audience (maybe because I am self inserting). Unless that is your goal, I guess that’s ok. I am not sure how tagging works for website, but I will assume tier list will be how people will find the article if they google it.

Yeah that’s not changing for sure

Likely true

Not really specifically, but more people hitting the site regardless could potentially be positive

I could tag as tier list, but I actually don’t think I’ll tag it as anything and just let it show up on the site, don’t want people to find it via searching for tier list, but rather for it to potentially show up searching for other components

@M0N Just saw the enegizer section and saw you added LL2. You heard the RSA amp? Also, thoughts on the amount of control LL2 gives? TBH Z10E isnt giving me the juice I want with either omega or shang and im currious if LL2 may have more control or not.

While I think the LL2 would have more control, I don’t think it’s worth the trade off of everything else compared to the z10e lol. I have heard the a-10 but only really with senn estats so can’t say much. I’ve never heard the ll2 with a shang though (or omega lol)

How was it with HE90? Im trying to convince @krack to get one for HE90 (so I can bumb a demo) with no luck so far.

Nope, will get to that one eventually, bet it’s great based on how the egoista 845 is

it was alright

You should get on it sooner rather than later. Imagine egoista + MK texture. Fucking amazing amp (but still wont make shang wub wub wub unfortunately). If I already owned shang and wasnt just hogging them from a buddy its the amp id use until i found “perfect”

You know what will? Susvara lol

too bad susvara doesnt stage 40 miles away from your head.

TBH, what I realy want is just for riviera to make an estat amp now that I think about it.

If you weren’t in an office I’d recommend Shang with a subwoofer as an experiment

Nah, tbh, speaker bass isnt realy what I want. I want a HP that sounds like a deaf alarm clock. I want that proper ear drum pressure with standing sub-bass tones.

Alright, post is now live, I’ve decided to wait on updating the shortlist and do it later, but get it posted now so I stop thinking about it, but the actual list part is done

Updated link since that changed

I had some more fun thumbnails I started, but they likely would have caused more problems than they were worth lol, so this one is fine

Based on your description of the Totaldac d1-digital-mk2, I think I’d like it. Probably a snowball’s chance in hell for one to come up in the used market and more than likely not something I NEED but I think it would be meaningful transition from the Alpha USB if I ever come across one at the right time and the right price.

Congrats, cooly and a little sad at the same time this is the most comprehensible, well written and no bs list on the internet that exists
