I know, asked him already what he prefers: unfortunately, always chooses the expensive one, therefore got the cheap ones

Yesterday I bought a Berkeley Alpha S2.
Today the shop gave me my money back because they sold it last month and didn’t update their inventory system.

Sorry to hear. Was it that shop you linked from Florida?

Yep!
Yelp reviews indicate he’s a somewhat disorganized one man show managing a website and a brick and mortar. But he refunded me quickly and apologized so I can’t really complain.

Was able to trade my 84 lb power amp for a Hifi Rose RS150b secondary streamer. I’ll see if it lives up to the hype. At least it’ll be a nice all-in-one secondary hub

Probably easier to sell in case you decide to as well. I’m a bit skeptical on how it performs but that’s mainly because I’m anti-hype sometimes lol
It does look awesome and if it’s good then a sweet one box for most needs, enjoy!

Have some wrenching to do this weekend and I’m so excited as I haven’t wrenched in nearly two years! Will take it to a shop in the next week for a coolant flush and oil/filter change. 32k miles so no transmission fluid/filter change needed yet.

Shoutout to @sa11297
Already had these for a few days but none of my tips fit.
So had to get new ones which came just recently…

Chord Hugo 2 arrived today:
Rock’n it with the RS6 via coax connector! 
Here’s a pic of my (trans)portable setup from just over a year ago (from visit to FiR factory):
Funny how the upgrades have stayed in there product line.
FiR VxV → FiR M5
Hiby R5 → Hiby RS6
Chord Mojo → Chord Hugo 2
This new chain is really remarkable - holding its own against anything else I’ve had the privilege of hearing. Battery powered, (trans)portable HiFi awesomeness!

Too early for any impressions. I think it needs some more warm up time. It’s cool looking though😁

The mesh tubes look damn good glowing. Some of the two coolest looking tubes were normally capped, the mesh c3m and the c3g. The c3g is almost art deco.

That blue is in the tube or is that a room reflection? Looks wild!
