What was your first set up?

Akg 7XX, IDK what even motivated me to buy them. I had no interest in HiFi. Then I heard I needed an amp to get the best out of them so I looked around, for a cheap amp and I found Z. Classic Z. Vintage Z back when he’d jizz at every SMSL amp that came out.

So he sold me on an amp/DAC they made for 70 bones, no USB, only spdfif and “that’s a good thing” he said no need to dick around with Chinese drivers and you can use it with your computer, game console, tv, whatever so I bought it and I moved on with my life.

Couple of years ago when I thought I’d be nice to upgrade my old akg’s and I started getting into vinyls and I wanted a decent set of speakers I looked high and low for that crazy gringo shooting POV’s like a failed PHub model and I couldn’t find him. Until I finally checked that little black box I had stuck on the underside of my desk for so many years.
“SMSL”… I hit up YouTube and there he was… with a huge library of videos on EVERYTHING, living his best weeb boi life doing whatever he wanted with Chewbacca the kitty
Love you Z :gift_heart: never change

My first audio setup was Beyerdynamic DT880 600ohm with a mayflower dac/amp and man I wouldn’t recommend this combo cause they couldn’t push the DT 880 600ohm hard enough, great little amp but these days the JDS atom/liquid spark fills that gap. Both components are independantly great just needed different something to power them properly.
