Kennerton Vali 2019 revision. It was the exact sound signature I hoped it would be.
Monoprice THX 887 - Sharp increase in detail. Power to spare
Honorable Mention: Thieaudio Phantom. Customization and will give any mid-fi open back a run for it’s money.

it would be lol…
That’s on my short list for 2020 purchases.
For me, here are my best buys of 2019:
Headphones: Meze Empyreans. I wanted these since I saw them before I even listened to them and owning them has been everything I had hoped. Runner up: Focal Clears
Component: PS Audio Sprout 100. I wish I had bought this thing earlier. It opened my eyes back up to speakers, has a great phono input, and I find myself using its headphone jack way more than I expected to. Runner up: La Figaro 339 tube amp, Chord Mojo
iEMS: Campfire Andromedas. My friend sold me his pair after he went with the limited Andromeda Golds. I prefer the sound of the originals and he seems to think so too. Really great iEMS-I’ve never been much of a fan but these changed my mind on iEMS as a whole. The hype is real. Runner up: Blon 03

It really is a wonderfully versatile system.
My 2020 purchases will be dedicated mostly to my editing rig. But I’m hoping to get a schiit freya +
And by the end of the year a couple new headphone amps and headphones for mixing and listening.
I mainly want decware products for headphone tube amps.

Have you looked at the M Scaler at all? That combo looks like my endgame. I may end up going with all Chord and get their phono amp and possibly power amp one day as well. I love the sound and build of everything they’ve put out

Yeah I’ve been looking at the Mscaler. I kinda made a game with my Chord product purchases that I wouldn’t buy another one (The purchase Path would be - Mscaler, Dave or whatever eventually succeeds dave in the coming years) Until I sell another script.

I think the best one I’ve made was the PMC speakers for sure
LCD-1 and WH-1000XM3 are mine. Of course the LCD1 sounds better but the XM3s are amazing for everything they offer, especially for on the go.

I haven’t heard the Bluetooth Anandas, but I use the XM3s every day walking my dogs and when cooking. The BT Anandas may perform better, but I usually use the XM3s for podcasts and youtube audio. I don’t need them to perform better than they do. I have no complaints and recommend them to all my friends

actually I decided definitely the micca rb 42 they immiditely blew my mind and really sjowed me what a decent near field setup sounds like and really opened the world for me I think they are perfect but really considering more expensive pairs for a possible bedroom setup

My Focal Stellias are turning out to be real nice for Film media. The fun tuning helps makes older film audio (which is often uncompressed mono/stereo for the films I tend to watch for research) feel a little sweeter (I think thats the term?) than other headsets.
