Yup. Head Fi gets a lot of flak in some cases by people who dismiss all instances of groups of people getting excited over a piece of gear as "hype"...but it's really nice at the end of the day to have a place/thread to visit where you can share your affection for a particular IEM or whatever with people who feel the same way you do and not have to justify your impressions.
I guess it's a great DAP for reviewers, true reference and apparently the new WM1A... and less expensive than LPGT... I still have to pay for it, as far as I am concerned, although I must say I appreciate Andrew at Musicteck helping me a bit!
I keep true to @mvvRAZ, "I don't get broke, I stay broke" lol...

Hype translates into tangible performance though. Typical Chi-Fi hype aside, if there's a rather large group of people shelling out thousands on a pair of earphones there's usually at least something there
That's actually super smart. For me I can't tell if I'm going to like something in the long term by virtue of a superficial demo in a store or something-- I need to spend some real time with it. Buying used is a great idea as you can spend a couple weeks with something and then, generally, sell it at a minimal loss if you like it enough to want to buy it new or don't want to keep it at all.
I feel most companies are really good about demo’ing stuff now, especially IEMs. There hasnt been one company so far that I have been interested in that hasn’t offered a demo. After buying the Vega I will never blind buy again.

I like a lot of different style of IEMs tbh, I used to have a custom Legend X too which I really liked and only sold due to my A18t taking all the playing time. I just prefer my treble presence more but had to go through some hurdles to get there.

I just bought an LX and I love it...it's not an all rounder by any means but it's a great secondary for those times when I crave a pounding club-type sound.
Probably VE8 (from what I've heard). The Legend X is AMAZING with orchestral music too...the power and body it brings to the low end of an orchestra has to be felt to be believed.

I’ve said it before but I don’t think anything can beat the elysium in that respect, given it’s forward and sparkly treble, texture of the midrange, subbass lift and sheer detail and technicality. Pure god mode
