What did you buy today? (Part 1)

You have very good luck with Hifiman then. I was just saying that for some people, they can’t seem to escape the bad luck lol.

I’ve had pretty good luck as well, but also avoided the pitfalls too because I know what to look for on hifiman

Yeah, seems like there must be certain things here and there that could alert you to a problem.

Anything that’s discounted too low, anything that has had something to do with Adorama, and anything with se or v3 attached lol

You just don’t buy Hifiman for the quality, but for the experience.
Experiences include:

  • channel imbalance
  • RMA hell that makes Acer look like a walk in the park
  • “Is that broken or?”-self doubt

Thank you!
It’s just the darkvoice with some tung sol tubes. Nothing crazy, but sounds really good with the Verite. Within the next month I’ll be getting the BH crack with speed ball. These definitely take to a tube nicely!

No unfortunately I won’t be building it. I’m having someone build it (pussed out haha).Would love to and would love the experience but I just don’t have the time. I have to make time just to relax and listen to music.

I’m capable, pretty good with my hands. I’ve built other things and do my own stippling/gun work (other hobbies when I have time) but not this experience in soldering.

I am with you on the soldering part - my best buddy is going to do the build for me, while I look over his shoulder and make nervwrecking noises
