...I am a ******* grand master of the art of patience.
I was going to go for a Valhalla or Lyr + Uberfrost stack, and a pair of higher-end closed-back cans to upgrade my cubicle setup in a month or two when I expect I will likely be brought on full time at my current job, as a sort of celebration - and just live with my M+M/HD439 until then.
Tonight, I got the great idea to buy the T70 on Amazon prime so I'd have them this week because... something? About an hour later I realized, hey, wait - the T70 is high impedance as it gets, especially if you want bass out of it. My Magni might not be the best way to discover those cans, and now that I bought them... the Valhalla sure would though, and it'll be fine with my Modi! I wonder if Amazon has it on prime...
Next thing I know, my T70 order has a Valhalla order sitting right next to it, both with one day shipping due to show up at the office on Thursday.
So uh, that happened. I should probably not be looking at head-fi at 2AM, it makes things like this happen. Good lord the Valhalla is sexy though...
I'm now a more-than-m+m member of the Schiitlord Society, earlier than expected. Just need to get one of those snazzy silver Woo Audio headphone stands and my desk setup will be complete. I figure, I listen to music 8+ hours a day every day, stationary, at the office, and nowhere approaching that level of sit-down-and-listen at home... so my good schiit might as well be in my cubicle, rather than at home.
Oops.
