What did you NOT buy today?

I’ll be honest I’ve probably viewed these maybe 100 times. I want these badly and the price is good just want a fancier version.

I’ve been all over Linsoul’s store the last couple days, for more hours than I’d care to admit.
I can’t even justify the Timeless given how satisfied I am with the Aladdins and that it’d be a sidegrade with trade-offs. Nothing else strikes my fancy, or is cheap enough for a definite and worthwhile resale.

I think my plan is to buy something cheap to ship at around $100 with my $100 gift card that cost $50, and then sell it when I get it. I’m looking at the Ovidius B1 for now.

Angel - Must not buy… Do not need another Dac… Don’t even know if it’s any good
Devil - Buy it, do it, it will look great with your current Auris setup

Auris audio D1D dac For Sale - US Audio Mart



my current desktop… Simply move the Holo SS amp and sell the Bifrost… that could be one nice setup.

:thinking:

The devil on my shoulder said:

But it’s got VU meters, pretty wood, leather, tubes insides, and it’s sitting on spikes. Buy it kid!

They are Beautiful pieces!

Oriolus Reborn — fascinated by a sub bass focused Oriolus tuned IEM, but a hard sell given its age (might be hard to pass along too) and couldn’t buy that and the Dark Magician

Dekoni pads for Focal Stellia. I was going to buy them for my Elegia’s, but they would be almost $200.00Cdn., landed in Canada.

Still tempted but… :grin:

I can 100% recommend the Dekoni sheepskin if you want a mild bass boost and an improvement on comfort. What I did was wait for a B-stock option, saved somewhere around 40 to 50 dollars
(us) at least.
Edit: typo.

Drop actually has good pricing on the sheepskin, fenestrated and hybrid. Unfortunately, no Stellia’s. :unamused:

The Focal Elear/Elex. I just…can’t with the QC issues, driver failures, and borderline non-existent CS. I know many, many people have no issues, but I just can’t, no matter the sound.

The vast majority have no issues. I love my Elex’s, my Elegia’s and want to get the Clears. I LOVE the Focal sound. You are missing out on a great headphone, but to each their own.

Used K702, perhaps with bass port mod already done. But there’s still some chance I’ll cave. But when (if) I do, it might already be tomorrow. :wink:

I didn’t buy the HiFiman HE6 SE V2. I was a click away and decided not to go through with it. I need to be good for a while!

It is quite the headphone…I put mine back on yesterday and will run them for a few days. Mmmm.

I wanted to click that button, man! I just can’t do it right now. Between the holidays and an uncertain future thanks to COVID and these stupid fucking politicians and their uninformed bullshit I have no clue how things are going to go for the next few weeks. Sitting tight is the right move for now.

SRH 1540. Good price but 1) I just bought a few closed backs 2) there’s little info on them and they seem to be polarizing

Makes some nice FM-Synth noises:
