What did you buy today? (Part 1)

Getting the correct bore size or maybe go down a size?..any iem without a well defined lip can allow tips to slip off sometimes.

My Electro Harmonix EL84 arrived. I took a quick listen and they sounded pretty good upon 1st listen. Of course, Iā€™ll be saving judgement for after burn in. One thing I did notice was that these seemed to be the tubes with the most warmth and most bass so far. How they sound after some burn in will be interesting.

Next to the Bronze 2s they look like they had the same designer.

I love those headphones. how do you like it?

The ā€œ@M0N Specialsā€ just showed upā€¦

Iā€™ve been going through the playlist I made for my buddy for the 1770s Iā€™m sending him. Really appreciating the imaging and spatial reproduction from these. Awesome comfort, too. I can see why theyā€™re keepers. They do a lot very well for their asking price.

Well, first couple things that I had forwarded to me have arrived!!!


Iā€™m loving the look of the black and red HAC, and I gotta say I do like the matte look of the hardware split of the gray cable, @brux

I just ordered a Lake People G111 Headphone Amplifier. The only shipping option was express, which said 3 to 6 business days. I hope Iā€™m surprised with quick shipping.

The only thing holding me back from pulling the trigger on buying the G103 is that I should not do itā€¦

Wait a minuteā€¦it has a blue LED? Iā€™m kind of a whore for the color blue, so this would actually be welcome news for me. Anything but the colors Red and Yellow and Iā€™m a happy guy.

@Hazi59:

Blue

I like blue lights too. It looks awesome when a room is bathed in blue light, IMO. But I also agree many blue LEDs have the brightness of a new star and can burn holes through your optic nerves. It would be nice if they met somewhere in the middle on that.

Lol, to me it doesnā€™t matter if the blue lights are strobing subliminal messages in my headā€¦as long as the lights are not red or yellow, Iā€™m a happy camper. I canā€™t overstate how much I hate those 2 colors, especially red.

Also a fan of blue light in a dark room. :slight_smile:

EDIT: Oh, to be on-topic for a moment, forgot to mention that I pushed the button on the Drop Porta-Pros the other day. ~1 month to wait. Unlike my Verite Cā€™s (which have finally entered ā€œAssemblyā€ stage), Iā€™ll probably forget about them by then and be excited when they show up.

This power holding company has a lot of nice stuff. check out this dac/amp it has a eq on it!:

blue light is my enemy! my gear is at the far end of my room, so itā€™s not so bad nowā€¦but blue light is hard to fall asleep too. I try my best to have red or green LEDā€™s onlyā€¦or mask them with colored film to change their hue.
