@TrollDragon - WOW….thanks for sharing. Love those stands and have actually thought of building something similar myself. But rather keep my cans out of kitties reach…..she loves to chew on cables as my LCD have fallen victim. Nice collection you got there

I have a lovely wooden rod, long enough to make it whistle. The cable chewing has stopped altogether after several warnings.

My main set is a pair of DT880 Pro's with DIY tinyXLR jacks and a Q Audio french silk cable.

Portables are German Maestro GMP 8.300D's

I'm a Budget-Fi music lover stuck in Mid-Fi purgatory...

I started the "Pictures of Your Budget-Fi" and "Mid-Fi Portable Rig" threads on Head-Fi. I got tired of all the Jerry Harvey Roxanne/AK 380 rigs posted in the regular picture thread and the pages of gushing that went on about them. While perfectly good plebeian rigs were completely ignored or even snubbed, audio snobbery is quite the thing...

I had the LCD-3 pre fazor & Conductor SL on loan from Audeze/Burson for a month and loved them, well above my pay grade though.

A good friend from Head-Fi came to visit a couple of summers ago and brought his HD800S/WA6 combo down for me to hear. It was very enjoyable and the HD800S is amazing, but I'd still take a pair of LCD's or beyerdynamic T1 instead though.

Here is a list of headphone/IEM's that I have, all budget gear.

Traded a small box of unwanted CDs for a recapped 1985 Yamaha integrated that powers high Ω cans even louder than my tinnitus - I <3 AudioKarma

Nice song with good amp/headphones

Catholic school attendee, were you?

I actually have a 10% off code from them, but thank you that was a very kind offer. It's in the cart

 

[Susaz]

Last night I was too tired and couldn't figure out what that was... I solved the problem from mine in an easier way... ego adapter and collar. But the Invoke no longer has that problem!

 

[stols001]

Good morning shinies!

LOL carry on.

Good morning class!

Oh, shiners!

Monday mornings.

 

[Letitia]

Morning Shiners.
Let Em and the fur babies have a short play date. They will be able to escape the box soon, going to have to build them a play pen this week.

It's funny to me how I talk myself into moving from cart to check out.....well I would've spent that in 8 days on cigarettes, so I won't buy anything else for a week

This is how I justify everything to the boss. We had this discussion this morning and I had to mention I spent less than I would have cigarettes. She shrugged and went to work.

I'm still expecting one day to come home to this:

This is the same, much more readily available... Anything 22 mm rebuildable???



And this is the 18650 model I was really thinking about

$15.59 Authentic Eleaf iKonn Total 50W Mod (Full Grey) - 1*18650 / recessed tank setup / hidden fire button / battery life indication at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I wanted a Microstick since back in 2014. I have seen those eleaf ikonns. They look quite similar. I may have to pick one up. I still want an original Microstick though. They made a stainless tube mod that was really sexy that I wanted too. 22mm attys are getting hard to come by lately. Dotmod makes a 22 and 24 version of their rta. It would be a shame to hide that pretty tank inside a mod though. I think mini e cig still sells tanks for the microstick. I cant explain the want for it stil after 4 years. I think Chels started out on this forum but I could be mistaken.

 

[Skunk!]

Now I am looking through the mini e-cig page again. The Microstick was my first case of untreated shinyitis.

As the economy gets worse I'm thinking of selling everything non essential. Vape gear here is scarce and costs a fortune. Thing is, will it sell at the price I paid? I see severely overpriced things that have been on sale for ages...
Still thinking!

 

[Old Greybeard]

I have one word, and one word only.

Why?

 

[untar]

No good news yet. But maybe soon. I'll work there for 2 days this or next week and if successful I maybe got a new job in the summer and can leave behind the hell of freelance sysadmin/bughunter/codeslave

I have one word, and one word only.

Why?

Mobile squirrel toilet?

I bought a XvoStick back in 2015 with no regrets although this is different than the Microstick. I have dropped two mods since I started vaping in June of 2013 and it is still going strong — can’t say the same for the other one. Mine is a DNA40 and this works for my vaping style. And yes, Chels use to be on this forum back then.
