So very true. It takes a while to get used to any audio product.
Absolutely and I think that is often underestimated.


Sure, bud.

I "prefer" the slow climb too. 😜

That's Head-Fi lingo for

No no, I am not poor... uhhh... I am... hmmm... "anti-consumerism" now.

See... Deeply philosophical.

Yeah that sounds good. They'll buy that for sure.

He gets expensive pillows throughout the house and lies next to them, his food is extra special (ie. twice the price of premium food) and I even had to buy his lordship a new car because our old one wasn't big enough anymore. 🤣

Still love him to bits. 😁

Nope, but I hope to have one next year in the form of a husky!

In the meantime I have a 7 year old daughter who is already asking for a handbag 😅😅😅

Needless to say if our puppy wish comes true next year, that would make this the last year for me to buy audio gear for...

You do whatever he commands you to do, sir.

Never get tired of seeing this fluffy guy…

My wish is when I reincarnate to my next life, it’s as a dog and @Wyville is my owner. 🐶

Ooh, nice one! Love Huskies! Was thinking about one myself, but I wasn't sure if I could give a Husky the exercise they need and so didn't want to risk it. Plus, my wife wanted big, hairy and cuddly, so it was as good a place to start as any. Next year we might consider a second dog. Although I have no idea how I would manage two of these, so maybe it should be a small one that can ride on Barnie's back. 🤣

Pro tip: The dog is expensive, but the toys add up to more. 😅

Thanks! Yeah, we are exactly like that with him. I need to teach him discipline because of his size (he is a giant even for a Leonberger), but whenever I do he just looks at me, I melt and he gets a treat for being amazing. 😁

That one made me laugh so hard! 🤣🤣🤣
This boy has the dream life in my household …

Cute boy! What breed is he? He looks small and powerful like a Staffy.

Sounds like a good topic of discussion with a marriage counselor? :p

He’s a Boxador, half Boxer, half Lab. Actually, I got him from the local shelter (my first time doing this) about three years ago, and he is the best companion I’ve had. 👍 And yes, he is deceptively strong for his size.

Taking a chance on Campfire Equinox, which is the latest acquisition in my switch to CIEMS. Not enough is written about them, maybe they don’t impress. Time to find out!

Let’s see, CIEM collection now stands at UM Fusang Mason, UM Fusang Mentor (pre order haha), EE Legend X, JH Jolene and CFA Equinox. And I possess none of these right now.

The only universals left (and only iems I can actually use right now) are Elysian X and Illumination….
