What have you purchased recently?

LMAO OF COURSE THEY DID :tired_face:

… question is is it worth paying another $40 for a different color and return these ones?

Have you already opened yours? I found that the color didn’t bother me nearly as much in-person as it does in the product photos.

Yeah, I did. The headphones themselves aren’t that bad but the cable color is gross.

Just bought a pair of B-stock arya’s from hifiman over the black friday sale weekend and… probably going to sell the diana v2s. I think these + clears is all I need… For now at least :stuck_out_tongue:

Also these are basically brand new; literally no visual imperfections at all.

Haha dont do me like this… :rofl: :rofl: I sadly do not have one yet, Ive been getting my collection up so when I get it I enjoy it. But will be getting the Rega P1 soonish :smiley: Did up my options and seems like the best one to me and based in UK too which is a plus. Got great reviews and the new white one augh looks fab. Unless any of u think differently?

Looks like Christmas came in early.
Bought a used Feliks Audio Echo:


Listening to it right now, sounds good but i might prefer my V200, we’ll have to see.

And here are some vinyls:

I have a Rega P1 and think it’s a great turntable. Do you have a phono pre-amp to connect it to?

Have pre built into my AVR so should work fine till i get a dedicated one :smiley: Should be anyway, if not ill just get a dedicated one seperately.

I bought a Shanling EM5 today. It fits perfectly for my use case. Hopefully the shipping time from China isn’t too bad.

Whammy chassis from DIY Audio. I wasn’t expecting it to arrive flat packed! Not a problem as I like putting things together. Seems really nicely made. This how it looks when assembled:

I now have all the components I need. At the moment my plan is to build the amp in the first week of January, once the Christmas chaos is over.

Isn’t it cheating, to have all the holes precut?
Took me longer to cut the holes than it did to build the amp :wink:

Damn right it is and I’m doing it with absolutely no shame. :grin:

Just know as you build it that I’m keenly watching. Your success is entirely dependent on whether I build one for myself! And pre-drilled holes all the way, a sloppy hole gives off the wrong impression…

:smiley:

Then thank goodness there are no sloppy holes involved :stuck_out_tongue:

I went with the premade in the end because I lack the space and equipment to make anything other than small round holes…

This just sounds worse and worse :thinking:

It has been interesting collecting the parts. If you are planning on making on then start looking out for the components. Some of them - particularly mosfets and optocouplers are currently scarce and have very long lead times for restocking. I only found a suitable octocouple on an obscure Raspberry Pi/Arduino hobby site in the Netherlands after a good few days of searching.

I posted a bunch about this headphone while I was demoing it, but my refurb from Woo Audio finally arrived this evening! I’m back to having a MYSPHERE 3.1, and this one is actually mine. :smiley: …also, I got both the bass frames and standard frames.

(Didn’t break out the fancy camera this time, just a quick photo from my phone.)

I’ve spent the last couple weeks only listening to mid-tier headphones, and even putting these on for just like two songs… yeah, I really like these headphones.
