-watched Macy parade with kids(rambunctious)—check
-dont go to slickdeals —check
-IMMA get some chicken or turkey—to be done
-scanned classified listings but did not send any PM — check

Newly bought plussound case helps..(BF deal). Didn’t think I that newly bought Nicehack case from Ali Express was a little too big..—check

Top 3 IEMs at present, the 3rd has been a real surprise - one of these sets I plug in, and just melt in the wonderfully smooth signature... love them.
  1. Softears Turii Ti
  2. Fir Audio KR5
  3. iKKO OH5
Mine changes every week lately. Right now it's:

1) Ani
2) Dorado 2020
3) Gaea

I'm hoping to do a year end retrospective poll of some kind...picking a top 3 for the year will require much more thought.
Right now my top three which also changes quite frequently is

1) Kublai Khan (honeymoon stage)
2) Tgxear Serratus
3) Tgxear Tantalus

A year end top three or top five poll would be great!

In other news I just reached out to CFA on a whim in the hopes of getting my hands on some demo units of IEMs to go out on tour. Probably unlikely but couldn't hurt to ask :)

Top 3 is easy for me since I only own 3 pairs now:joy: and preference in that order.

This right here. I always thought it would make a great IEM for coders or people who listen to music while they work and need their minds free to engage in something other than the music. Whenever I had them on I found my mind wandering looking for something to engage it. YMMV and all that.
I feel the same but I really enjoyed its signature when I had it, everything just sounded good on it. I agree it is fairly easy to zone out when listening to it tho.

Now at this stage I want something more unique instead of the 10 million "neutral with bass boost" options.

Happy Thanksgiving to those feasting.
