ok, fine, a Jotenheim and pair of Edition XS at least for all

that would improve the mood
honestly, koss khp40 with the bundled usb-c or lighting connector with included yaxi pads would be more than enough and a free subscription to tidal or quboz for life. $700 billion usd at most for just that, very attainable imho.

The blockade it's for agricultural products that come from ukraine, that's my understanding of the situation, but if they have taken the entry ports to poland, maybe nothing it's getting in or out, but of course, I'm not there so I don't really know.
They're blocking everything they can, has nothing to do with agriculture at this point if it ever did. Outside the scope of audio just....can only imagine it's a mess for consumer shipping, trucks are backed up for miles right now. Last I read its a 80-370 hour wait for trucks they do allow through. Oof. :sweat:

After long research and even longer waiting for Schiit MJ3 here in Europe, I'm converting to Mentor. Hopefully, it's not a mistake, I still can't be sure. Both seem to be great, MJ3 might be even stronger in bass, looks like. It's just a feeling and I want to support a company like Flux.

Still trying to decide whether to leave the door open and order it with mono input or not. Most likely I will never need it, but what if I will reach that state and age that I will just feel I need to buy it... It would be cool, I never dare to do monoblocks with my speaker systems.

But maybe at that time, I'll rather want to try a different flavour of headamp rather than the same twice.

I'm considering being the next. Lol.
I returned my MJ3 and am thinking about the Mentor. I really like my Audio GD Master 19 though...

I bet they are pretty similar. I do think you (and I ) find some enjoyment in "The Hunt".

Dude... I agree 100%. When I come home and I see that box in front of my door, it's like Christmas morning. Lol!

Just noticed you have the Stealth. How are you liking it with your Mentor?

Okay. Never mind. I just realized you don't have it yet.

Yep! And then you love it and then what? Stay off Head-fi lol. Perhaps that'd be the way but I dont wanna.

For some not :).. but I think I will just close the door. Really, I can't possibly see why I would need two of them at any point of time. It's just tempting but obviously unnecessary.

Hahahaha! Neither do I. Half the fun is trying something new. I told my buddy the other day that if my new headphone amplifier gives me everything I need, part of me would be a little sad because the "hunt" would be over.
