What did you buy today? (Part 1)

Did this come in yet? How do you like the sound?

Not here yet, I picked it up for the tuba.
My original intent was to order it one Haggerman shipped the tuba, but he fooled me by just shipping it and not sending notification. Nice surprise when it arrived, and I’ve been using it on they Gungnir Multibit.
I’ll certainly do an impressions post when it arrives

The differences betwen amps aren’t like the differences between headphones, as I’m sure you know. BUt the difference is there, and I enjoy mine!

Although if you have a very high end headphones the differences are pretty apparent lol

I’ve noticed most of the time when I go cheaper on something because it’s only going to be a 5%-10% difference, I notice the difference quite a bit and I usually regret it.

The RNHP thread has me intrigued and although I can’t afford to keep both, I can at least afford to buy both and eat the cost of trying and selling off the ā€œloserā€.

Can’t wait!

Oh nice I’ll take a look at that power tube. So far of the tubes I have I like the ge jan the best. Definetly will look into these tubes you suggested. Ty for the advice

Currently looking at a secondhand ibasso dx160… I’m in contact with the owner and it seems like a pretty good deal so I’ll probably be purchasing.

I’ve noticed lately that all I listen to outside the house is IEMs so Im thinking I’ll probably get this dx160 and sell my Fiio Q5s as I don’t ever use it for my more hard to drive stuff.

Have any thoughts on it so far?

Only that I think I’ve stumbled upon an excellent pairing with the 4xx and this with xbass on … first impressions prove positive

Canjam is stating to take it’s toll, I just bought an ATH-AWAS because I’m a sucker for a good closed warmer audio technica for some reason. The AWKT was also nice too but it reminded me too much of the adx5000 not as good to me

Those look pretty sweet :ok_hand:

And the final blow from canjam has occurred lol. I was for sure thinking I would leave with a Final A8000, but instead I met some interesting people and left with a SPearphone SB-7, which is unique to say the least. It’s not the most comfortable thing I have put into my ears, but man the sound, extremely linear/neutral sounding, while still remaining natural. It would be hard to recommend to most though lol

They really are, I don’t even feel like I could use these on the go, it’s like an iem but defeats the purpose of an iem and I love it lol
