Ampless? Slowly put down your wallet and run
Then again, the mediocreness of an unamped K701 will draw you in, begging to be amped. Choose wisely, it's either your wallet or your K701
You will regret either way lmao
At Head-Fi, there are 3 phases when making an expensive purchase:
Hesitation: Is before you hit that "order" button. You ask yourself "Should I? What are the consequences? Is it worth it?" You then do several more researching just to reassure yourself you're making the right choice. You will ignore any thoughts that will try to dissuade your impending purchase, afterall, you told yourself from before you've done "plenty" of research.
Breakdown: Is after you hit that "order" button. You feel as if you were stabbed in the chest. You ask yourself "What have I done? Maybe I've made the wrong choice!" You become disillusioned. You can't think straight. You've felt the financial pain from your wallet wondering where all the money went. You go back to head-fi and do a couple more researching, trying to reassure yourself you've made the right choice. You check your email everyday to keep track of the shipment. The wait is suspense! Your heart beats faster as the delivery date draws close!
Recovery: Is when you receive your goods and forget all about your financial woes. You open your package and smile as if God has delivered the holy grail of all headphones in its class. You feel relieved and happy! Your mind is at rest and you no longer feel the financial pain. Then... you remembered that these cans need an amplifier
The process starts over
So true
