What did you buy today? (Part 1)

This TRN cable looks noiiice! :+1: 3ft.

Everything metal except the little round plastic ball so you can get rid of it with pliers.

Bought here.

Be careful though, I almost cut the wire doing this. Dang :stuck_out_tongue:

Also this looks more silver color than the last, all-silver (color), tripowin cable I bought. Maybe just because it’s silver and black and the “yellowish” tint is harder to see.

Yeah, I know, if I absolutely don’t want nickel-like “yellowish” silver, I should just get “pure silver”, so it will look blue-ish even. But it’s for 30$ IEMs. Lol.

Well had to cancel my trip to japan so as a consolation to my self I’m buying new gear. Decided on 1 headphone, 1 IEM, and a stash for a hot used deal should one pop up. Still figuring out what IEM but for the headphone I decided on the Aiva. Thanks @Antpage2 and @RiceGuru for your input! ETA is april lets hope drop ships then or sooner rather than later

FBI! It’s a bomb!

Seriously though, it’s nice to have a “geek” in this forum who knows how stuff works. Thanks for your infos about the SAP-1 “Class A” amp, etc.

I ordered the 177X Go today, I’m liking the set of 1990 that I have and want a good closed back set that I can take with me and not have everyone hear my music. Although it may be a while before that has to be a consideration again due to the coronavirus.

It helps that it doesn’t need an amp and can be driven from a good DAP.

And the color is just as dark as I hoped for (African Blacwood). They are really beautiful IRL :yum:

Thanks!
I wrote Zach to hear if he had any left and he had a few, mostly B-stock, but found this one A-stock. So I took that and 7 weeks later they arrived. :star_struck:

The tube is bought explicitly for the Aeolus last week, it is a Cayin CS-55A. It is great :yum:

how come? where’d the buyers remorse come from?

That’s a pretty thick connection and an interesting plug, what are you using ? Is that an adaptor? i’m curious…Congratulations on the new purchase !

That looks like a fostex cable to me lol
