Since we all know the site's slogan, let's have a look at our month's spending. Maybe this is a reality check for some of us (as in 'holy crap, I had no idea it was really that much')... or maybe some are just groovy with what they've spent. I've had a month were I thought to myself, 'good grief, I can't be doing that very often!'

RSA 'The Shadow'- $385
ALO Rx- $365
Klipsch Image S4i- $100
Sleek Audio SA1- $80
Ortofon e-Q7- $385

TOTAL- $1,315

Now that's some damage alright! That's a JH 13 right there hahaha.
This month : Alo Rx $385
APS V3 hfi 780 $400
ibasso CB03 LOD $35
Oyaide Silver plated mini to mini $50
Total: $870
You know what, you're right. It might actually be a reality check for some. haha. Writing down that total though low compared to that of most folks here has certainly done so to me. I know what I need to do now haha

I realized that very thing when I saw that number! This month got out of control really quickly!

Hopefully I'll be seeing a couple ones with a big fat 0 very soon...

For the month, $45 for a vintage JVC MX-1, my second unit. They are that good, and originally cost about a grand. The current MX offerings are dreck.
