Beautiful in all their not-yellow glory! :heart_eyes:

🥰 I would honestly be surprised if you didn't keep most of those! Whether you end up keeping it or not, I'm so happy that you've been able to spend time with it, and that we have this shared experience together. :relaxed::punch: Although I'm perfectly happy with my Mojo2Poly, you now have...

Okay, it appears that the Tangzu Gate is way darker in real life than in photos.

There are people telling you that there might be only one exhibitor at the show?

So it turns out that this is a pretty fun combo! :smile:

Depends on whether you want to go with a Latin-based (quin-) or a Greek-based (penta-) prefix.

I kept them on for a long time as well, but I had to remove them for photography. Oh, that reminds me of the JH adapters that I got, which I haven't tried yet, but should when I can find the time. Yeah, definitely Raphael I think, or maybe even Azrael. OtL looks like it would be too dark to...

I think we both know that he participates in a thread, where you believe high end attitudes to be prevalent. Surely you can see how he might feel representative of that thread?

I think that, in saying he enjoys high end sets as well as $30 sets, he is disagreeing with the portion of your statement in bold below.

Thanks, same here! :thumbsup: In case you're wondering, I am in fact the "anonymous gent" that you referenced elsewhere. That's essentially the only issue for me. He just happened to take it a few steps further, in very specific directions that Head-Fi's terms don't allow for (which I...

Well, of course he can state his opinion. And to that end, I'd venture that it was entirely possible for him to state his opinion without dismissing somebody else's opinion. For example, the following - edited to remove his dismissive comment - would have been just fine: Not at all. And...

Our terms and rules tend to frown upon this as well: https://www.head-fi.org/articles/terms-of-service.6725/#etiquette

It’s rare that any given opinion is a problem. But as to how opinions are shared/stated: https://www.head-fi.org/articles/posting-guidelines.14048/#discussion

Yeah, that suffers from the same problem that jewelry displays do, in that it's too large and open. Not enough focus is given to the subject, whether that be IEMs or cables or whatever. I'm lucky in that I came across a miniature hand a while back, and I've been repurposing that for a lot of...

lol, now I'm going to give him crap that even he leaves the cling wrap on! 🤣 :punch: I exactly know how you feel. Raphael is making me look at the Tangzu Gate for no damn reason at all! :smile:

I can totally tell... ...because you kept the cling wrap on like plastic furniture covers yo! 🤣

Reminds me of something I saw on FB yesterday...

🥰 That looks very pretty! 😍 I can already think of a few cables that I'd pair with it visually. I looked for some stuff, like jewelry stands, a while back - but that was mainly for product photography reasons. I didn't find a whole lot that wasn't ugly. I've since decided that I'll...

I gotta say, the color matching went much better than expected here! :smile: I'm pleasantly surprised.

Oh wow, the CP622B comes with a free Fusion 1? 🥰 Ah okay, my anxiety has abated for now! :smile: Thanks bro! :punch: I'll probably still get the adapters somewhere down the line, as curiosity will get the better of me at some point, but I'll just rest easy for now.

🥰 Okay, I just have to ask (since you're able to cable roll with yours), would you say that I'm holding mine back with the stock cable? Would you advise that I pick up the RCX adapter? Woo hoo! 🥳 Scubi has joined Team X4! :punch: I think there are quite a few of us now? @Deezel177 @gLer...

Ironically, that's probably the one thing it can't do.

Kitty dreams of Trifecta.

Well, for $285, this is a smashing great deal: https://www.head-fi.org/classifieds/astell-kern-acro-l1000-dac-amplifier-price-drop.61618/ Desktop AKM-based DAC/amp. Drives IEMs (both SE and balanced), drives headphones (both SE and balanced), and drives speakers. I use mine every day.

Is this based on original retail price, or can we factor in diminishing street pricing and secondhand pricing?
