i think i'll dedicate my aryas to the new amp when i get them back. they're at the facility, just waiting for them to be serviced. they said that if they can't repair them, that they'll send me a new pair.

id prob find it more comparable to the q15 due to its marketed sound profile, but i think i'll be pleasantly surprised.

xrenxs @xrenxs.bsky.social · 7h

even the q15 outputs 1,600mW balanced in desktop mode (dedicated power source).

Give Me The Warmth.

xrenxs @xrenxs.bsky.social · 7h

bro puts out 1,500mW, about the same as a non-dc powered (dedicated wall power) q7, so i can expect similar performance, just w a very diff sound signature.

i'll only pick it up if it goes on a /significant/ sale. it isn't more expensive than what i just picked up, but i can't pretend i have that money just ready to spend /again/ so soon.

xrenxs @xrenxs.bsky.social · 7h

im not going to get it, at least not in the immediate future.

xrenxs @xrenxs.bsky.social · 7h

when this comes in i'll don't even realize that i'm going to have some serious audio hardware.
i might hold off here, i want the gryphon, but somethings gotta give.

xrenxs @xrenxs.bsky.social · 7h

i can't wait for this, it doesn't come w any kind of case, but there's one on ebay i'll pick up if i think i need it. the device is in a green finish.

im glad i picked this one up when the gryphon was just as viable because it had no outstanding factors.

this one has the tube output stage going for it and that's a technology wildly different from anything i own, so it was a better use of my money...
...that i don't have. rip in peace.

at least i have 10d to repent BUT I DONT RETURN SHIT SO FUQ UUUUU

i do not ever drink my coffee hot, never will you see me /sipping/ on a cup of coffee, but this time i have the homepod playing my favorite work playlist and i'm wrapped in a blanket and a cup of...hot...cocoa.

BITCH ASSsssss

xrenxs @xrenxs.bsky.social · 18h

if it doesn't, whatever, i'm enjoying these records.

xrenxs @xrenxs.bsky.social · 18h

right now i'm putting the smart speaker thru some playlists so it can open up. it's a speaker to be honest, it needs breaking in.

xrenxs @xrenxs.bsky.social · 18h

i can't wait to pit this against the q7. i think they'll complement each other over sound presence and width of soundstage. i'll find out one is better than the other w certain genres of records and the other w others.
im not dropping the money on something and moving on, im not daft.

november third (3) is day. i'm going to retire broke.

i have the fiio q7, q11, q15, the shanling h2; and i plan on going high-dollar amps like the gryphon and now the xduoo xd05 lineup, but i want the "xd05 T" because its got a vacuum tube in it that you can't remove so i am not thrust in the tube-rolling rabbit hole.
its the same $$$ as the gryphon.

i went from collecting microphones (still a very strong collection) (still an interest of mine) (i'm a hobbyist) to headphones, but that didn't take off, to IEMs, but that stagnated, so here i am dropping stax on portable amplifiers.

me 10y ago. i was paying amy almas $65/w for an hour of her time and i was taking heavy stimulants at the time and the visits were at 5 in the morning and i mean, i was hard headed; i went at her like it was social media—i never let her speak even once.

waste of money, could have gotten a tattoo.

xrenxs @xrenxs.bsky.social · 18h

except cluster B personality disorders, you're fucked, go to a therapist that can deal w your shit. don't get me wrong, i don't get you as eg a narcissist, but you're better off out of drs office and into the recliner at the therapist paying them out of pocket because you have no insurance.

i have my degree in psychology, i should have a degree in hypocrisy.

xrenxs @xrenxs.bsky.social · 19h

forever reminded that i could have used that money...for a tattoo LMAO this is therapist-level shit, but i don't believe in psychotherapy because i am stubborn and do not respond to it or tolerate it.

psychological ailments? there's a pill for all of them, get out of here w that soft science.
