What did you buy today? (Part 1)

Antpage2 · April 10, 2020, 12:05am

Oh i thought it was a OTL lol. nvm

Hazi59 · April 10, 2020, 12:08am

Even though it isn’t an OTL, it still has a nice tubey sound…but much cleaner than something like the Darkvoice or Little Dot. It is a unique design and Jim Hagerman has an awesome track record with Tube Amps and Phono. I think it is an amp that is unique and worth having…especially for somebody that wants a tube amp but doesn’t want to lose clarity.

Zaphain · April 10, 2020, 1:21am

Yeah, it absolutely wasn’t what I was expecting to hear from a tube amp. The clear and natural sound it gives is amazing.

M0N · April 10, 2020, 1:30am

Hmmm, I have one more spot open on my desk for a single ended amp, might just have to pick one up myself lol, I’ve liked it when I have heard it, so another amp can’t hurt right lol?

Hazi59 · April 10, 2020, 1:31am

DO IT! DO IT! You know you want to.

donjklassen · April 10, 2020, 1:50am

Certainly cant hurt

rmsanger · April 10, 2020, 3:18am

M0N · April 10, 2020, 3:21am

Nice, they are pretty sweet, should be real nice

donjklassen · April 10, 2020, 3:35am

that’s f***in awesome… congrats on those beauties

Antpage2 · April 10, 2020, 3:36am

You what?!? OMG. Orpheus. Stand up and worship! Where do you live? can i come by? looks like he beat you to it Mon, what happened?

M0N · April 10, 2020, 3:40am

I figured already having the shangri la sr and the warwick aperio filled the high end estat role for me lol. He did get an excellent example of a he90, very impressive piece for sure

@rmsanger be careful, make sure someone suspicious isn’t lingering around your house now lol

Onaha · April 10, 2020, 3:42am

Very nice. If you were looking to get one, it’d be tough to find one in better documented condition. I’d be curious to hear how it matches up to the 58x

LeDechaine · April 10, 2020, 6:13am

Holy shit lol, congrats!

trice1212 · April 10, 2020, 9:03am

I’m so back and forth on preference.

RiceGuru · April 10, 2020, 3:47pm

T3’s were my first “serious iem” seems I’m a bigger fan of the t2 and t4 though. But glad it keeps finding fans.

RiceGuru · April 10, 2020, 3:49pm

Jesus congrats man I hope when I retire I can do something this nice for myself

mbvjmc · April 10, 2020, 5:53pm

Awesome, they look like quite a find. It is rare that the Orpheus comes up for sale, even rarer when they come in the condition like the one in the listing. Congrats, let us know how they sound

Hazi59 · April 10, 2020, 6:28pm

Congratulations on your purchase. I hope it brings you much happiness. Should be pretty awesome.

fireWire87 · April 10, 2020, 7:15pm

Next purchase is going to be the newer Orpheus right?

M0N · April 10, 2020, 7:17pm

IDK man, admittedly I would say the he90 is close to being on par with the he1, they actually haven’t come that far

Edit: I would say the he90 is a wiser investment than the he1 as well (so perhaps cashing out isn’t the worst idea lol)
