Fake product - that’s actually a sensible name. Cannot be ifi.

Dang. Took the last week off from here for the most part and come today find the Elgia deal. Convinced my buddy to buy them and the deal wouldn’t work for him. So, in the end I bought 2 pairs today even though I was not planning on it at all. First pair of Focal so pretty excited! Now I need to sell something I think and help my friend pick out his first amp. Suggestions welcome,$200 and under. I have a feeling I know what will be a top suggested.

Lol you got two? The record is currently 3 at once, 5 total.
As you probably know the Asgard 3 is about the best $200 amp. But you have to add in tax and shipping.

That’s the one I was thinking 
. Yeah bought 2 and keeping 1. The other goes to my friend. Oddly the deal would not show up even when he tried to checkout

It was strange how hit or miss it was over the course of the day. First thing this morning I couldn’t get the price then it worked every time I tried…
Yeah even more odd that we were trying at the same time and it only worked for one of us
Lookin’ good! Enjoy it! She is a sweet little amp. BTW the little buttons are covered with round Lego bricks. They can be easily removed if you choose to be blinded by the green death ray.
Now to show where the RNHP funds went.

Congrats man thats a great piece of kit!
when i had limiting gear i also owned the 800s along with the 2000x, what i’m about to say may not be accurate because the HD800’s are known to scale with better gear but when i had both the 800s and these they practically sounded the same tonally, tamber wise as well.
i have owned the 2000x for years and years, i only recently sold it, it’s a great piece of gear and i don’t think i’ve heard clarity on this level ever since, except for with the 800s’s, i don’t mean detail retrieval i mean clarity but both are detailed but mainly the image clarity is just insane on both of these.
the biggest differentiator between the two being soundstage and it being the soundstage that sounded the most different really caught me off guard because i just thought they would be radically different.
bucket of salt here since i used both of these with the ADI-2 amp dac combo which is known to be limited by it’s amp portion so i have my doubts it came around to my 800s in an appropriate way so don’t take my word for gold but i’d be curiuos to know if anyone has had a similar experience with these

i always thought that Long After You Are Gone by Chris Jones played exceptionally on these, acoustic and live were both great on them.
how do you like em so far?
oh yeah and Nils - Keith Don’t Go (live) are also great on these!
the best experience i’ve had with these songs has been on the 2000x

Get a Burson amp, they pair well visually!
…as you can tell, I’d considered it for mine. But Burson says their power section is designed so you don’t need an expensive LPS.
I’d have bought it to try anyway but it’s 24V so no something I would have been able to use with anything else easily.

When I saw this, I thought: “wait, did I order a LampizatOr or something?”
Nope, just this:
Now I have two things that are taller than expected:
The Arya would have been delivered yesterday, but apparently I wasn’t at home (news to me!)
Curious to find out how well they pair (once the V281 warms up…)

Some my know that I ordered the Topping A90 a week ago from Apos. It’s supposed to arrive today here in Central Florida, however DHL tracking says that it just left Hong Kong SAR, China about 3 hours ago…
Hmm…
