So what's everyone getting in the AE sale? I ended up ordering the WG T-one for 74€, wanted something to contrast my Final E4000.

I'm getting a few cables and a Walnut F2 to use it as a desktop amp to drive my iems. Maybe a tws set but don't want to invest much now due to covid crisis and lockdown in my country.

Since the NineTail was out of stock, I've ordered the Starfield for 79€, as it seems to be one of the $100 benchmarks right now

Urbanfun iss014, ISN D10, Moondrop Blessing 2, 9 Lucky Bags, JDS Labs Ol switcher, Little Dot 1+ (D10 is from penon with early bird discount and Blessing 2 is from HifiGO with reviewer discount). Quite a lot of stuff and my wallet is crying.

I ordered two spares UrbanFun ISS014 ( I already have 3), one FAAEAL Hibiscus + two FAAEAL cables and one Pizen DLC. Hopefully the country hasn't completely collapsed by the time they arrive (as the Prime Minister, Health Minister and Chief Medical Officer all contracted the virus...)

I bought a TRI I3 during the AE sale with a slight reviewer discount from Hifigo. Haven't owned a planar yet, so wanted to check this transducer type out.

The economy looks like it is gonna tank pretty badly this year due to the coronavirus, and some of my family/friends have been retrenched or placed on no pay leave recently.
So I'm gonna tighten my belt a bit for the next few months when it comes to audio purchases.

I set a few rules for myself but I'm not sure if I can keep it haha:
1 - no sidegrade purchases at fullprice.
2 - only buy if substantially discounted/firesale prices. Or look for second hand gear.
3 - no buying identical gear for spares. Used to do that, but at the rate CHIFI evolves, what u buy today may be obsolete in a matter of weeks. Cough cough nicehck NX7 pro vs non pro.
4 - consider buying if different tuning/transducer type than what I already own.
5 - consider buying if clear upgrade from existing gear.
6 - no jumping on hypetrains straight away after a stellar review from prominent influencers. Wait for more reviews to filter out, especially from lay consumers.

I think this will be a futile new year's resolution though hahaha.

Wow this is a real CHIFI coronavirus stimulus package. It might singlehandedly keep some CHIFI companies running for the next few weeks! Respect!!!

Ngl, but since I got the Blessing 2, I didn't think of getting any new iem that is below it anymore.

If I'm considering the UrbanFun ( I already have TRN-V90 and Blon-03 ), is this an sidegrade or upgrade? Does the improvement differs enough?

Below is the link, if the link does not work, you can go to DD Audio Store. But, strangely it's not S$7ish anymore just now.

I don't have the TRN but it sure is an improvement over the BLON IMHO (some might disagree). Just get it and make up your own mind, it's not that expensive (and worth absolutely every penny and then some IMHO).

Ah, better safe than sorry. As a guy with WAY too much gear I feel where your coming from but Variety truly is the spice of life! Congrats and enjoy

Depends on your ears. The Blon is very good, but some hear refinements in the UrbanFun TXQ-RP9CYZW&M^Q NO CARRIER
