I recently commented about enjoying this thread for the contrast of both wallet-emptying-second-mortgage TOTL gear, and budget/low-cost items being appreciated, and also the experimentation of stacking etc. I would like to add to that the sharing of where and how they are being experienced - we all come here from different places around the world, even different regions of the same country, in different seasons, enjoying our shared hobby. Around the house, in the garden, in a cafe, the enjoyment of music and your way of experiencing it - nice.
I just loaded some new albums onto my WM1Z and am about hang the washing out, I'll spare you all the photo of my 1Z/IER-Z1R with a laundry backdrop - enjoy your weekend all :headphones::guitar::drum::microphone::musical_keyboard::saxophone::trumpet::violin::musical_score::notes::)

Forgotten 4BA gem (Oriveti O400) and surprise of the year (Juzear 41T) are complementary sets that will be trusted companions of my AK stack (SR35/PA10) for the upcoming holidays. All bases covered. The expensive stuff remain at home, and I most likely won’t miss them that much🫣😎

How do you like the 35? Responsiveness? UI?
It’s not the snappiest DAP of the world, but I have zero complaints. The SR35 is a nice little DAP, with a neutralish signature with a hint of warmth and presence in the lower end. I have it permanently stack with the AK PA10 amp, which transforms the SR35 into a fantastic player.
Where did you get the iem case?
From AliExpress - just type « IEMs case » in the search engine and you eventually will land on many vendors selling this kind of case, single, dual or even quadri spaces available.

As much as I admire your broccoli bands, I have 1 word…
Blu-tack

I've been using it to stick my DAPs to amps for ages, and there's nothing better IMO

I was actually planning on trying out some sticky adhesive type stuff, but as soon as I tried the rubber bands, I just fell in love with the ergonomics of it. The bands create a kind of curve around the Go Bar and the edge of the R5, that fits perfectly into the palm of my hand. One question I have for the portable enthusiast crowd in this thread:

Where can I buy some high quality silicone bands small enough to be suitable for a little pocket micro stack like this? Silicone bands are better than normal rubber bands, right?

Fan 2 and Raptgo Bridge arrived 2 weeks apart. Pretty impressive budget IEMs
