Haven't bought it yet because shops are all backed up until mid to late Aug, but the clutch just went out on my STI hatch. Estimate so far is $2800 o_O And it has to be towed, good thing I have AAA.

I bought a pair of Audeze LCD-X headphones a few moths ago and have been extremely pleased with them. They are the best headphones I have owned, by far. Planar Magnetic headphones sound distinct from more traditional headphones. For how heavy they are, the headphones are surprisingly comfortable, however, they are hot.
The headphones benefit significantly from digital EQ.

New WetLeg CD! Also picked up Jagged Little Pill as Alanis played here recently and it was cheap. :). Got my wife the Joni Mitchell Archives Vol.2 5 CD set as her b-day is coming up.

Bought myself a new 5.0 speaker package today.

Contains polk reserve. R200 bookshelves. R300 center. R600 towers. And it was 40% off retail!

There was only 4 packages available at that price and limited to the one color.

This is a rare deal and I'm ecstatic to buy the speaker range I been saving up to buy!

Now it's waiting for them to ship it out.

Got the upgrade bug. Found a new/used Anthem AVM70 on Canuck Audio Mart for 1700$ less than full retail. Decided to bite the bullet on it and make the purchase. Should be here this week some time. Will post pics when it arrives.

That's a sweet deal. Interested to hear what you think of it compared to your ToneWinner unit.

Picked up a Bose Soundlink Flex. It’s the right size and shape for my new “go bag”, which was the #1 consideration. Not bothering to go all audiophile on it, but it sounds decent enough at moderate volumes. Will certainly be useful if/when I get more hospital time again.

I know Bose gets a bad rap on these (and many other "audiophile" pages) but for a simple, convenient sound source, they are hard to beat. Overpriced? Maybe, but they get the job done and sound pretty darn good.

Truth be told, I’ve had no beef with their wireless earbuds. They measure well enough over at rtings, so I don’t worry about the brand snobbery.

While I wouldn't consider Bose for home theatre speakers, they make great lifestyle products. I have the QuietComfort earbuds in both regular and noise-cancelling options and they were a substantial improvement over the Samsung stock buds. Also got to use a Sound Link Mini at a cottage we rented and for a small bluetooth speaker it sounded quite good. Bose knows how to get bass out of a small package.

It won't be here until next Wednesday now, seller took his sweet time shipping it.

That aside, I'm really hoping that it is the step up I think it's going to be. I'd really hate to have spent that much to find out that I should have stayed with the TW unit. I'm keeping the TW for now, I figure I can always sell the AVM 70 easily enough if I don't think it was worth the upgrade.

I'll post a comparison thread about them once I get the AVM 70 all dialed in.

I have a Revolve+ and use it all the time. It wouldn't be a replacement for a critical listening system, but that's not what it is for. Its job is just to fill a room with sound and it does that very well, lasts a long time and gets pretty loud for its size. It goes with me in the garage when working on the car or wherever we want some extra sound.

☀Off today so thought I'd share. All $1-2 each. TS CD haul from the last couple of months. I need to rip these to Flac for my portable audio players. Marc Anthony is new bought at Wally and Emmylou Harris 5.1 was bought used on ebay.

She arrived yesterday. I was busy all day though and didn't have time to unpack her. What a beautiful beast :p

I got her hooked up, but not set up yet. I'll play with her tomorrow. Everything was brand new in the box. As you can see from the picture, the plastic wasn't even removed form the face plate. Remote was still sealed, as were the antenna and power cord.

My, Cajun friend got me this new paddle to go with my pearow boat I will be trading for. We got a lot of big cats down here, but they really just big raccoons. I keep telling my friends to get they glasses fixed. I can't wait to try out my new paddle going to be a lot of fun paddling down the bayou with my Cajun friends.

Initial impressions without having done anything (just connected all the wiring/cables)......WOW. What a sweet unit. It's going to blow the socks off of the ToneWinner. It should for the price though. I'll get it all dialed in over the weekend here.

How about starting you own thread when you do get it setup. Many here on AH, have esquiring minds. Buying a new AVR can be fun. Enjoy your new toy.

Waiting on a few more items now…

Should get a set of the new Sennheiser Momentum 4’s on the 25th.

Meanwhile in the non-mobile headphone realm, I picked up a JDS Atom+ stack.
