I wanna know how artistic we all are. Just estimate.
Me I spended about $3500. U? For me, I think I am done now. I got the HD800 and Noble k10u and I just bought the Campfire Vega and after that I am done.
It seem like 50% people her spended over $1000. Very interesting.
Do accessories count? DACs, amplifiers, IEM cables and eartips etc.?
Just headphones/IEMs: $60 for 2x KSC75, $80 for Moondrop Aria, $25 for Moondrop Chu, $15 for Moondrop Quarks DSP, $25 for Truthear Hola = $205 all in all
Including accessories: $18 for two Apple dongles (Lightning and USB-C), $20 for two different pairs of Spinfit eartips, $18 for an extra IEM cable, adding that up to the total above gives $261.
uh…
Sennheiser HD6XX (+ customs fees): 250ish €
ZMF suede pads ( + customs fees again, do you see a pattern here? I hate Europe) 80ish €
FiiO K5 pro ESS: 200€
Xduoo TA-26: 250€
Tons of 6SN7 tubes and 6080 power tubes: ??? probably 200€ or more (it is not worth it)
FiiO KA1: 50€
Truthear Hexa: 80€
Aful Performer 5: 220€
Uh… 1330€… so about 1440$. I hate myself rn. To be fair, I’ll stop with IEMs for now or at least sell my old stuff before getting something else. The market is developing so quickly that not buying things is the best choice atm.
