      Went to record store today and picked up some used CDs. Molly Hatchet, BOC, Boz Scaggs.

        I know of a couple of good ones within easy driving distance from my home. Found some gems today.

        I buy a lot of stuff off of eBay, but it isn't the same as browsing the record store - and making sure I'm not buying some hot-mastered, ear-scorching release!

      My Massdrop x Focal Elex came in. Initial impressions: Mostly even presentation w/mids ever so slightly recessed. Comfy. Easy to drive.

        I'm going to be quiet and do a lot more listening to the Elex, HD650, DT880, HE-4XX, and K601 before I opine further.

      Watching Braves-Reds game and saw Ronald Acuna, Jr. go 1st to 3rd on a single to left. Yes, to left... not right... whoa...!

        Worse, I'm a Reds fan living in Nashville where the whole world thinks the Braves are America's team.

      Received my Massdrop x NuForce EDC3. The EDC3 is an improvement over the EDC. Tighter, snappy bass. Clear presentation. Easier to drive.

      The "Cheap DAC Off" thread is gonna be a popular read - not just for the impressions and data, but for comedic value, too. Two thumbs up!

      Received email that my Elex order has shipped. Actually, label made, so won’t really move until Monday. Still... yay!

        You're getting dislikes because people would prefer you get the elear then post impressions rather than blog about it's shipping progress.

      GREW A PAIR AND WENT ALL IN WITH Gungnir Multibit. That's it for me on the source end. Now, to figure out upgrading from Vali 2 and Magni 3.

        I've had my eye on Lyr 3. I've read some say it is a direct upgrade from Vali 2 (which I really enjoy).

        What's your budget? The Vali 2 is actually a really good pair with the Gungnir Multibit if you want to save a bit and go straight to end game amp. I found the Sonett 1 & 2, Sratus, EC ZDS & BW to have exceptional synergy with the Gungnir Multibit.

        I think I'd be willing to spend $1,500 tops on a headphone amp. I can't wait to hear what Vali 2 and Magni 3 sound like with Gungnir Multibit.

      Johnny's lucky I wasn't judging when he squared off against The Devil. I thought Devil played a meaner fiddle. But Hell, what do I know?

        It did for me too. Maybe because I slept a lot. Not enough sleep this last week that’s for sure.

        You haven't lived in Missouri very long if a tornado watch is bad news. ;)

        It’s not about anyones toes. It’s a tightly knit community, and everyone is familiar with everyone else to different degrees. After awhile you recognize people’s avatars automatically and don’t even look at the username. So this is just to avoid confusion.
