Good part about being a broke high school student is you can't get new gear.

shoot why do I have a portabrace bag (don't worry I got for 5 USD from a college surplus)

I got dunkin donuts today. It was fire 

[rice guru]

This boy showed up yesterday. Overkill for my setup but fixes one of my headphones in terms of timbre. Got a stupidly good deal on it. I could not pass up the opportunity to get it. 

[Automobili3XF]

New microphone and stand!

[hihihi8]

It's here 

[hihihi8]

Waiting on the PSU – saw a deal for a never-used AX1500i that I simply could NOT pass up, even though the peak power draw of this system is only 850W-ish lol.

 

Will be air-cooled for the time being while I test it and finish up other stuff, but the stuff for the hardline loop already exists (from my old loop).

HIFIMAN Ananda Planar Magnetic Headphones

Retail Price: $999.00.

Open-Box Purchase: $550 + Free Shipping. 

 

An upgrade to my HIFIMAN HE-35X Dynamic Headphones (Retail Price: $120, New Purchase: $55), recommended by Den-Fi!  Other options were mentioned as well. The TLDR is I went with this purchase 'cos I was gently shoo'd away from Focal Elear's, I didn't want to gamble on Focal Elex's, I wasn't too keen on Sennheiser HD 660 S's, planar magnetics caught my attention, and, errr... discounts.

 

To quote one particular dumb-dumb:

InB4 impulsively drops money on another "good deal". 

I friggity frack feck god damn knew it. 

It me. Impatient dumb-dumb is me.

 

Impressions coming up in a few days. Want to get used to how they sound, first.

...Shush, I'm not procrastinating.

 

In the meantime, have some unboxing pics:

HIFIMAN Ananda Box

(Faux) Leather. Fancy.

 

HIFIMAN Ananda Headphones

First impressions last a lifetime. Love it when manufacturers put some thought into the presentation and unboxing process.

 

HIFIMAN Ananda Headphones

Pair o' big bois, but they feel extraordinarily light on the head. They're seriously lighter than they look.

 

HIFIMAN Ananda Cables - 1.5m Cable w/3.5mm Connector + 3.0m Cable w/6.35mm Connector

My first disappointment.

For once, my phone camera's actually making the product seem more flattering in photo than in person.

I've heard about the HIFIMAN Ananda's cables being shoddy, but I chalked it up to audiophiles being picky and didn't actually expect them to be worse than my HE-35X's default cable.

...Reminder that the Anandas retail for $1K. 

 

HIFIMAN Ananda Slider

AH-HAH!

There it be -- me looking for those open-box imperfections.

These marks (on both the right and left) are the only flaws I've found thus far, however. Headphones are in good condition. 

Current Mood: 

[BetteBalterZen]

I finally have my 3090! It's installed and everything works. So happy, so excited!

[PlayStation 2]

I've had a bit of a desire to get an SMB setup for my PS2 working concerning the ability to play games on OPL. So I caved and bought a router at a thrift store for $9: I ended up with this Asus RT-N66R router.

^{And on another note, I finally caved and bought some leggings... they're rather nice...}

[FmPhenom]

Heading for the 50 year celebration. Me and the wife (girlfriend at the time) were there for the 25 year celebration. Same hotel we stayed at then but with kids now. 

[soldier_ph]

Another Xtorm USB Power Hub XPD18 Cube Pro and two USB A to C Xtorm charging Cables for a charging setup at my Night stand for the iPhone, Apple Watch and Bose Sleepbuds. 2 Pilot Frixion Clickers for school in Black and Blue, a new Bell for my Mountainbike and reflective stickers from Scotch for my Xiaomi Electric Scooter:

Just scored this for $21 from my Internet & Mobile provider. $190AUD on Amazon Australia. Don't mind if I do.

 

Looks mint. But damn, 7th Gen iPads have a very average camera.

[Actual_Criminal]

Managed to snag one of these founders for only £1,399 rather than scalped prices. Was waiting for the 3080 Ti but obviously it got delayed... time to throw out my 3070. I wonder if they are recyclable?

200k for a pair of speakers?!! 

 

 

Haha, yeah. My MBL's are worth £202,000 (277,000 USD) new. I bought them for much less than this though. I'm not a nutter.
