Show off your latest purchases

Got some Klipsch RP-600M And a Denon AVR-X1600H recently for the living room. Still need to buy speaker stands.

 

I set them up over the weekend and everything sounds really nice. It pairs well with my LG Oled E8 55”. These are my first decent speaker/sound setup. Next us is to probably either get a subwoofer or a center speaker and a Blu-ray player ( or inversely get a UHD friendly drive for my HTPC.)

Don't remember if I posted this, but I yoinked this off of eBay a few weeks ago:

Otherwise, I bought a VeggieTales DVD that, bizarrely enough, I didn't have beforehand.

I bought some galaxy buds+. I needed some wireless IEMs for exercising. The galaxy buds+ got a good rating for a TWS by crinacle and the battery life was the best, so that's why I went with them over other TWS IEMs. They are fine IEMs, but they don't live up to what I am used to, granted I didn't expect them to live up to my custom IEMs or any headphones I use.20200220_161452.thumb.jpg.d153deeac8cb8a3f09094207a304b625.jpg

Before you buy amp and dac.  My thoughts on the M50x  Ultimate Ears Reference monitor review I might have a thing for audio...

DAC and AMP: RME ADI 2 DAC

Receiver: Denon AVR-1612

Desktop: R7 1700, GTX 1080  RX 580 8GB and other stuff

Are you going to write a review for them ?

You can take a look at all of the Tech that I own and have owned over the years in my About Me section and on my Profile.

 

I'm Swiss and my Mother language is Swiss German of course, I speak the Aargauer dialect. If you want to watch a great video about Swiss German which explains the language and outlines the Basics, then click here.

 

If I could just play Videogames and consume Cool Content all day long for the rest of my life, then that would be sick.

maybe, idk tbh, I am quite busy with work and uni. I don't have the most experience in this budget for IEMs, but I can see if I can see if I have time to write a review in a week or two. So far I can say that if you like harman target IEMs a lot, then these will be the TWS for you.

100% Get a subwoofer next. Help the woofers on the Klipsch's do less work, plus you should be able to extend much deeper.

Main speaker setup is now;

 

Mini DSP SHD Studio -> 2x Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC's (fed by AES/EBU, one feeds the left sub and main, the other feeds the right side) -> 2x Neumann KH420 + 2x Neumann KH870

 

(Having a totally seperate DAC for each channel is game changing for sound quality)

Been wanting to bi-amp my PMC's for a while. So needed a proper crossover for the amplifiers. Hence the MEN220 being added. Just gotta go pick it up now lol.

 

So now it's a 60,000 USD pair of speakers being driven by ~78,000 of amplification. Next on the system upgrade path is the speakers I think. Looking at AVID Reference TWO's, Or something from MBL Audio.

I’ve been thinking about it. Thoughts on sub? I’ve been thinking about either staying with Klipsch or going SVS on the sub. 
 

Once I have speaker stands next month I’ll post an update. They’re currently sitting on the floor next to the tv console. They physically won’t fit on my tv console. Adding the speaker stands will give me some flexibility in positioning and will allow them to sit near ear level when on the couch. it will hopefully open up the sound stage a bit allowing me to get by without a center speaker for a while longer.

 

Side note: any thoughts on foam speaker isolation pads? Like: https://auralex.com/shop/iso-series/studio-monitors/

 

Not sure if they’re needed. But I was thinking it would help isolate the RP-600M from the stands I plan or purchasing.

Auralex stuff is great, but if you can afford it, look at IsoAcoutics. They work a bit better. https://isoacoustics.com/

 

Klipsch subs aren't really the greatest, so I would go with SVS for the subwoofer, or Rythmik. http://www.rythmikaudio.com/

Picked up an Asus VP247 monitor today.

Nothing special in terms of a monitor but it's cheap, does 1080p, and it's a reasonable replacement for the Dell 2009WT I was using as a 2nd screen.

Can't show it cause it's still shipping, but a somewhat used Toshiba N300 6TB hard drive for $85 shipped, not sure how used exactly so hopefully it's a good deal. It's about 1/2 off new price so hopefully it's got more than 1/2 of it's life left! I'm sniping an auction for another one from the same seller with the intention to have a pair in a NAS. If I don't win the other one then I'm not exactly sure what but if the drive isn't loud I could toss it in my HTPC to replace the 1.5TB WD Green that's getting on in age.

What dirt and what extensive test run accumulated that? Backing out the driveway?

Not really a purchase, but a free trial of Qobuz. Going to be A/B testing it for a while on different setups. Might be switching if I prefer it.

Got my EVGA SuperNOVA 650 W GA PSU today! One step closer towards my first build...

(Super glad I impulse-bought the PSU when I did. Seems like prices have shot up from the $79.99 when I bought it to $114.54 now. What the heck.)
