If anyone got the W80's and regrets their decision, I'd take it off your hands. I accidentally convinced my mom to get one but the sale has ended. :frowning2: There are a few open box returns at the same price + $10 if anyone is still looking to get a W80. EDIT - Oh and as suspected, there's...

Thank for this! The W80 is by probably my favorite universal IEM, both due to the fantastic sound and the fantastic fit. I've been wanting to get my hands on one but have been unwilling to shell out that much cash. This was an easy impulse buy! To be clear, everyone's ears are different, but...

Thanks, Ethan, this saves us a few bucks!

Really? I feel like I've been getting emails from them nearly daily for the past month... :-/

Some woods have very little variation in the pattern (e.g. Blackwood) so you pretty much get what you see. I think it's only on the more exotic woods that you have to "worry" about what you might get. IIRC, the default wood on the Auteur is also one with little variation, and therefore less...

The 8 is the "portable" one right? Maybe I'll get to hear it when I see you at Canjam! Right now I don't have any tube amps setup with a low enough impedance to do the Aeon justice. I suppose it could work with the Project Solstice, but that's in a box right now. It's not a great fit with...

This is the kind of attitude we need more of in the hobby. :-D FWIW, my favorite pairing with the Aeon is right out of a Mojo. The sound you get from such a cheap setup (relatively speaking) is way better than you'd expect in that price range. This is doubly true now that the AFC and Mojo...

Jeez, miss one year of Canjams and look what happens! lol Well then, guess I'll have to bring a packet of "Hello, my name is" stickers and a Sharpie! Maybe I'll bring my trophy necklace too...

We all get name tags but they don't have our Head-fi names on them. I tend to write mine on with Sharpie when I get it. Funny thing is, a lot of folks we recognize by the avatar picture more than the name. You don't realize that until you're there seeing the names without the pics. lol

Well I'm not nearly as much of a bike nerd as I am a headphone nerd, but I just got a new bike. It's a Giant Roam E+ class 1 ebike with a Yamaha mid motor. It wasn't my FIRST choice (I'd have liked the Explorer E+, a step up in components and motor), but COVID shortages are a bitch and I feel...

I think they're a good price at the original asking price of ~$800. Still one of my favorite headphones in my collection. $350 is a steal for what you're getting IMHO.

You'll outgrow that feeling eventually. The sooner you get to that point, the more money you'll save. lol The trick IMHO is to get something you're really happy with for yourself and then, instead of spending money upgrading, spend the money on going to meets like Canjam. There you can...

Well, it's not the prettiest Crack ever built, and it's CERTAINLY not the quickest, but I finally got around to completing my half-assembled Crack and I'm pretty happy about it. I haven't tested it much yet as I need to make some space for it near my current rig, but initial impressions are...

Reserved my room. Not sure if I'm going to be healthy enough to go by then but fingers crossed. I may not be active much on here these days, but I do love a good Canjam!

Glad to see you're enjoying it, my friend. Regarding the song choices, I'm just going to say that there was already music on that device when I got it and I added to what was there, so many of the songs you listed weren't ones I put on there. The person whom I got it from knows who he is and...
