Who, me?! I have steely self control and I'm very, very sensible with my money.......
I suffer from the same affliction, especially when it comes to tubes. 🤣

…aanndd you’re not alone. But if it is, as you say, an affliction, there are far worse ones to have.

You’re stronger than me, that’s for sure!
Remember me moaning about being unable to stick to a plan?
Well, I really want that next Grado HP.

Funnily enough, it was this snippet from Stoddard's latest chapter that came to mind when I was on eBay -

"Spend most on your transducers.

As in, no matter the budget, spend most on your headphones or speakers."

I wasn't going to get another one until I read the praise that was lavished on the 6N26P. I'll find out how it sounds in about two weeks.
:laughing:, yeah I would have been tempted as well if my next paycheck was already in. Looking forward to your thoughts as I might give it a shot later on (provided you guys don't deplete the stock by then). :thinking:😏

Yeah I'm in the same boat. But FOMO is causing my anxiety to flair.:rolling_eyes:
In my case I am also planning out my purchases all the way into next year as my "To Buy List" keeps growing. Valhalla 3, SJY Audio Horizon, and ZMF Caldera Open to name a few. Waiting on B-Stock for Caldera Open though, but is one of the ones I want to also try on the Vali 3. :wink:

You guys are making it hard not to blow my tube budget for the year within the first two months. :laughing:

Edit: Trying to save at least some of the budget for matched pairs for the upcoming Valhalla 3 once @jonathan c starts recommending tubes for it as well. :wink:

The Valhalla 3 looks really good in the photos that have been shared; I’m definitely curious about it.

Ever since it was referred to as a mini Folkvangr many of us have been eagerly awaiting its launch. Well that, and Jason hitting it out of the park with the Vali 3. So a lot of us expect great things from Valhalla 3. 😉
