What did you buy today? (Part 1)

Well, after my soldering iron taking a crap on me, and a good bit of deliberation, I went and pulled the trigger on this:

From what I heard, those are quite impressive little irons.

Got two new cables so I can run my FH3 and tin T2 off the balances out of the BTR5.

Can I ask what made you choose the Single ended vs the balanced edition?

Because my endgame headphones is SE, DT 1990 and i don’t want anything else from headphones, single end version is cheaper for 250$, i think price was the main factor, and i still can connect balanced dac to fa-12s and take sound from single end output.

Wired all of my IEM’s balanced with 2.5mm connectors to use with BTR5, and then realized that I like using them sometimes on the rest of my desktop gear. So I bought the full set of adapters: 3.5mm, 4.4mm, 1/4", and XLR. Now “all your base are belong to us”!

Fantastic set! How do you like the Atticus?

I received the Aeolus a hr ago and the Atty on Monday. Enjoying the hell out of them definitely. It’s definitely nice to be able to run anything balanced or SE on any of these amps however right now this Feliks echo is giving everything a serious run!! phenomenal amp…

Buy these today (got them last week) but I found a nice pair of Dynaco A-35s locally that I picked up. These are my first set of vintage speakers and I’m absolutely blown away by their quality for the price I paid. I run these in my bedroom with a basic Topping amp. (Just a stock photo because I didn’t take a good picture of them)

Beaten up ifi micro bl for a little over 100 bux! I got super lucky! This thing sounds amazing! Just hope it can hold a charge and keeps working…

**Edit - no longer really a portable rig. It won’t charge but I can use it sometimes when I fudge with it right and it stops blinking led lights at me. If I leave it on forever, it won’t be a problem. I guess it’s a pcb, usb connection issue and ifi reseated it and sent it back because maybe that was all they could do aside from selling me a new unit. Pretty happy to have another option for dac/amp even though it’s crippled in function because of the power issues.
