What did you buy today? (Part 1)

fxxr · July 11, 2020, 7:51pm

Various stuff for my DT 770 mini-XLR conversion arrived…

The actual male mini-XLR jack
De-solder Wick
Wire stripper
Thin soldering iron tip
Some backup solder
Torx bits
26 AWG 4-conductor audio cable (might also make a balanced cable for the Sundara with this)

Replacement DT 770 is coming on Monday, will probably break the warranty sometime later next week, after I verify the drivers work correctly

$420 for a hemp headphone? That can’t be a coincidence!

AllegroMaestoso · July 11, 2020, 9:31pm

I hope you can report clear, non-fatiguing treble extension. You know, good highs?

Alan_Cronin · July 11, 2020, 9:32pm

I think that price was on purpose.

A_COC0NUT · July 11, 2020, 9:40pm

The price was so on purpose that they say that it is lower than what Grado would have otherwise charged for these. They say these would usually retail for around $500.

A_COC0NUT · July 11, 2020, 9:42pm

So far so good. These are not sibilant to me really at all. I would not recommend these to someone who has a treble sensitivity but they are by no means sharp or fatiguing. The highs are less sharp than the DT-770 250ohm for reference.

Here is the official discusion.

Well… June’s box arrived SIGNIFICANTLY faster then May’s… Some decent goodies in this one too.
First, Lucy… Move the fuck aside, cause Shion is in the house!!!

While on the subject on That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime, and Rimuru being here, a fabric patch… woooo…

Geting the other disapointment out of the way… Love the show, but not the character as much, and the stand doesn’t let him stand up any straighter then this… Sanji

While on the topic of perverts though, cause you can’t think of this anime and not think of being smothered by… Well… Moving on! Though not before a Boosted Gear

Though I can not deny that one of the longest running series has brought us an incredibly iconic lady who is a mother fully capable of kicking butt and taking names all while turning heads: Android 18

Not pictured is a fabric print of Ryuko (Kill La Kill), a Edelgard button (Fire Emblem: Three Houses), and an acrylic stand of Rem (Re:Zero).

Hazi59 · July 12, 2020, 5:57pm

Stranger Things season 1 and 2 arrived today. Season 3 will be here Wednesday. I love how the bluray boxes are designed to look like VHS tapes from the 80’s…nice touch.

Jose_G · July 12, 2020, 10:22pm

MadGman · July 13, 2020, 9:28am

Heat gun and glass container/jar.
It was in his streams were he ruined them.

WayneARourke · July 13, 2020, 2:03pm

Bought a Muses8920 to add to my little collection of Op amps.

Kron · July 13, 2020, 4:10pm

My new Elegias arrived today along with some supplies to make myself a nice cable for them.

MazeFrame · July 13, 2020, 4:58pm

Silver and Black is a very sexy combination.

That is one beefy cable. Reminds me of the Sommer Cable Stage22 I made into some rather chunky aux-cables

Kron · July 13, 2020, 5:33pm

Yeah it’s a nice one, I’m hoping that I have got the correct cable to make it right.

My portable cable for it should hopefully match pretty nicely
