What have you purchased recently?

Hello,
Arrived, first impression ooouuuffff.

Perfect, especially with Audeze Lcd 2C really neat.
Couldn’t be happier.
Also pretty neat with the Aeon R/T.
Been sitting for 2 hours and enjoying it and hate to take the headphones off.

Definitely worth the wait.

Hello and thank you,

Yes, I will.
The part is heavier than the Euforia I still have.
And without burn in,when plugged straight in it sounds pretty damn good.
Reacts really well to tubes, while I started with a cheap set for the first few hours it was mostly romantic with those.
When I put in the Linlai Less romantic and more detail and smooth rich musical sound.
He also recommended that I try the Tung Sol tubes.

What I have heard so far has been very good.
Very good separation, rich in detail, a very good way to reproduce music, never overdone or underdone.
The Aeon R/T benefits very well from this and resolves very well without distorting.

And the Lcd 2C is also performing very solidly so far, in a way I haven’t heard before.
Bass very crisp and tidy great mid and sweet low end.
I’m having a lot of fun with both of them right now, and the Lcd 2C is again a nose ahead of the amp because it seems to be a bit more relaxed, a bit calmer.
But I still need a little more time to classify it.
So far the best hybrid amp I’ve had in my hands.
It blows away the Aurium Patos and the Little Dot 1+.
Apart from the fact that the workmanship is terrific good, I’m really happy and satisfied.
At the moment there is nothing that I could criticise in the first hours of listening.
I hope this is enough as a first impression, I’ll give more feedback in a separate thread.

I think they are in the same situation as that last blockbuster. they dont technically exist but people who owned radioshacks still run the bussiness under the same name. I have one like an hour away from me as well

It’s recent cause I got one on Friday and hoping that I get the other before I had back out to work next week.
So this turned out to be one really bad idea on my part cause the one stand I got cost me $200 usd on top of the amazon total. Well … burn to learn I guess.

Went whole hog in my tiny listening room and ordered 7 panels from Gik Acoustics. Seemed like a good mix between value and performance and they went out of their way to have a specialist make recommendations based on my room size and budget I was trying to hit.

Mostly a mix of 244 and 242 panels with a couple of stands and mounting brackets and two of the rear panels are partial diffuses.

Interestingly enough, one of the comments they made which I found interesting was that once you install good bass traps in the corners, the front wall (the wall you face listening to your speakers) is the least important wall for treatment.

EDIT:

Just to clarify a little, not that the front wall isn’t important, but that you shouldn’t focus on anythign in the front wall until you’ve address all other areas.

So order of importance, 1) corners 2) first reflection points 3) rear wall other reflection points

Nice, been eyeing a room kit from them for when I get a dedicated listening room.

I have panels from them and yeah they’re definitely appropriate for the money, but honestly after hearing what treatment can do I told myself I’d save most of my budget on the treatment if I were to go into 2-ch.

That’s a half-twisted truth right there. An axial mode, which are the strongest, is produced by two parallel surfaces not corners. Treating corners is probably the least important since that’s only dealing with about 10% of the problem. Source is from Acoustic Fields and, ironically, from the GIK rep I dealt with. lol

Ha! I guess it doesn’t matter since I wound up doing both anyway.

Well I’ve been a bit quiet for the last few months… I’ve been making some pretty big moves, selling off a lot of stuff i don’t use and buying new toys to replace them.

After buying my Eddie Current Studio B earlier this year I felt pretty content especially when paired with the Utopia i bought shortly after, but i still needed a solid state solution for when i don’t want to be burning through those precious tubes.

that amp came in the form of the myth and the legend, the Cavalli Liquid Gold, just what a beast this thing is. I fell in love with the more analogue and musical sound of this amp and knew it was staying.


Then came the unexpected, I didn’t really plan on going after another totl headphone so soon after utopia, but the opportunity presented itself and since i at this point had the LAu in house with it’s 9W into 50ohms which is way more suited for driving the Susvara than the amps i previously owned the last time i heard a sus, i couldn’t resist.

I got the loan in and that was it, i decided pretty quickly after hearing the sus with the LAu that this is something i had to own, so i made it happen. Now i have my dynamic endgame in Utopia and my Planar endgame in Susvara :grin:

More recently i received some DHC Triple Threat Adapters to adapt my DHC Complement C mini xlr (audeze/zmf) to 2.5mm for the susvara. Yeah no more stock cable, never again lol these things are excellent really, and a lot smaller than i imagined, a great alternative to retermination.


Okay this is the point where it gets stupid and i should probably try to seek help or at least practice more self control :sweat_smile: This sorta just fell in my lap and wasn’t really planned, much like most of my purchases it started with a loan and ended with a mad dash to secure the funds lol easily outclasses my QPM and gives me a little taste of what my desktop setup can deliver, but in my pocket on the go!

Btw this is a P6 that underwent the pro upgrade, and yes it looks a lot better with the silver and and black glass imo also the yellow case :stuck_out_tongue:


Okay i know what you are thinking but honest i didn’t pay anything for this one… truth is I traded for it :rofl: So long story short, i had a u18s which i adored but knew i was going to get them in custom form soonish so i went ahead and traded for this dope rhapsodio infinty mk2, I mean i already had the perfect dap for it so might as well right?



OKAY SO ENTER THE MYSPHERE 3.1 INTO THE MIX… psyche! :joy: I couldn’t resist lol If i could swing it I would but i’ve already overextended myself this yeah, it’s fast becoming my no.1 contender for next headphone purchase in 2022. The LCD 5 and Diana TC might have something to say about that though.


Okay well there you go, that’s my haul. Thanks @sa11297 & @Veritas for the loans, purchases, and trades!
