What did you buy today? (Part 1)

That one is on my list to pick up. Great album and very well recorded. I was excited about this CD because it’s not available on Spotify where I do a lot of my listening so there are probably songs on here I haven’t even listened to yet.

@Gullfaks The Sundaras get better with use…bass fills out and they seem to just settle in (as do many others.) I find they are awesome with classical music; great separation of instruments
and a decent, realistic soundstage. Have fun!

On a quick lunch break now but, I am looking forward giving them a initial tryout after work.

Audio Technica AWAS in this stunning wood…my pictures do them NO justice, so very good looking in my eyes :heart_eyes:

Yup yup! The name “Lake People” has always made me chuckle a bit. Makes me think of some JRR Tolkien, GRR Martin, or other quad-initialed author’s fantasy world where some white-robed mystical being rises up out of a misty lake surrounded by mountains. Which makes it a very effective name. It’s very unusual and memorable. Some names are just Schiit.

:joy:
Thats actually true. It sounds a bit mystical, like some type of cult.

I would love to know what you think of this DAC. What I have seen seems to be mixed. Have you heard the Ares II? Also…no power cord? Interesting…

I also own the ares ii yes, really love that dac. Can do a comparison down the line for sure.

Could be me being used to pro-gear, but normaly it is just the device, supply your own.

Good excuse to try a higher end power cord I guess

Very curious on your feedback. Seems like a Great headphone for the price! Only faults seems to be large charge heads and many uncomfortable pads.

Well 17days later I’m up in the list, but not shipped yet. A set of Atticus’s :slight_smile:

Another questionable-looking package arrived at my door today courtesy of Apos:

Shown with the Damascus Endura in honor of a comment at Drop, where I got that blade some time ago: “Finally, a Spyderco worth doing cocaine off of.”

Alas, there was nothing so illicit inside–just a pair of linear power supplies (for that pure, high-grade, uncut DC) and some Fanmusic RCA cables to complete the Topping *50 ensemble.

The A50s amps are running a little behind. I believe they’re scheduled to ship tomorrow.
