Technically I didn't make this purchase, my girlfriend surprised me when I got home from work with this tiny treat, definitely one of my new favourite things...

mystogan · 2012-11-08, 14:27

^that is very cool, i bet your your mornings with drinking coffee from that mug are more adventurous now

Dextro · 2012-11-08, 16:29

Getting ready for a tech conference next week. Supplies are in order:

yes, it's a very "interesting" conference

Kizoku Keenan · 2012-11-11, 08:21

As a surprise early christmas Present I bought my partner a life size Ted...needless to say she sleeps with him more than she sleeps with me now *sigh*

Alchemist007 · 2012-11-21, 19:15

The Audio Technica ATH-A700x. And yes, they're that freaking huge.

And the NuForce uDAC2 to accompany it.

I'd return that if I were you, lol.

I think the title of this thread will tell you exactly what reading all this stuff has come off as: http://www.head-fi.org/t/542281/nufo...s#post_7314785

Seems he's interested in self-promotion to his blog. But comparing the udac2 to my normal people stuff, it's no contest. The distortion arguments were interesting, I won't test them because setting the volume to the "12 o clock" setting is HOLY SH17 loud. I had also looked at the E7 but ultimately decided on this.

synaesthetic · 2012-11-22, 01:08

I don't believe anything I read on Head-fi. It's not objective at all; the only reason it exists is to make money off of people who don't know anything about science, and Jude protects his sponsors even when they are legally in the wrong (see the whole Schiit Asgard controversy). The fact that double-blind testing is a bad word for Head-fi'ers means they're little more than snake oil salesmen.

The uDAC isn't terrible, but it's akin to Bose headphones--it's awfully expensive for being just "not terrible," especially when you can get a FiiO E10 for a lot cheaper.

Alchemist007 · 2012-11-22, 01:48

I've got nothing against better or equal for half the price, perhaps I'll get it and compare it to this, pending that I can still return this but amazon's usually been cool about satisfaction.

If you bought it from Amazon, there's a really good chance that they'll take a no-questions-asked return. I've done so with Amazon before and they've been nothing but a joy to work with.

The FiiO E10 from Amazon runs around $64. I'm not sure how much you paid for the uDAC-2, but I've usually seen it for over $100.

Alchemist007 · 2012-11-22, 03:45

Whoa, the reviews on there say it's got some pretty subpar build quality. Problems from the jack being loose, deteriorating sound over time, left channel cutting out.
Also, which have you tried personally?

NorthernFallout · 2012-11-22, 04:13

The English-translated Mardock Scramble collection with the 3 novels in one. Got stuck for this series after the two first movies.

And Jormungand Volume 9. Which marks the first time I ever bought a manga.

DorkingtonPugsly · 2012-11-23, 20:02

My first artbook (and I think my first post on this thread). After missing the preorder for this, I was finally able to obtain it brand new (had to spend a bit more though). Favorite thing I've bought recently. I wasn't expecting the hardcover so when it arrived I got a nice surprise. It was definitely worth every penny!

Xefi · 2012-11-25, 23:17

^ artbook looks pretty neat.

Bought quite a lot of stuffs this week:

Assassin's Creed Vita Bundle (white vita) - $179.99
comments: the best deal ever! it just shipped and should arrive on Friday. ^ ^
Ragnarok Odyssey - physical copy this time for my little bro., so that we can play together - $39.99
Borderland 2 - from Steam's sales - $29.99
Sonic Generation - from Steam - $7.49
Torchlight 2 - from Steam - $9.99
Persona 4 Golden - physical copy; no way i'm getting the digital for this (3+ something gigs). $39.99

i wasn't able to get a cheap 3ds xl. oh well, i can still wait until the next deals during the christmas, hopefully.

Seihai · 2012-11-26, 12:04

I walked into the supermarket.
I saw Christmas calendars.
I grabbed one.
I smiled.
I went to pay for it.
I left the supermarket.
I'm home.

How much did you pay for it? It's probably 100% ecchi, but the cover looks cute.

Xefi · 2012-11-26, 17:06

just bought this laptop today:
Qosmio X870-BT3G23 Laptop - i upgraded the 750 gb to 1tb and added the carrying case+free mouse = $1166 (tax included already)
the price was too good to pass up on. anyways, i spent WAY too much this month. my wallet is starting to cry bloody tears!

the laptop should be deliver by 12/07/2012. it's more beastly than my desktop.

can't wait for this laptop to arrive. and it looks pretty COOL as well.

Hehe, bought myself a laptop as well cuz it's Cyber Monday! Although, it's been on sale the past month at the same price but I decided to get it now.

Lenovo Ideapad Y580

Retail it's at $1,299.00 after that sale + taxes, turned out to be about $960ish with free expedited shipping (2-3 days)

I forked over $90 (including EMS shipping from japan) to the seller. The art's worth it though (at least for me

).

Mr.Raw · 2012-11-27, 11:40

Bought this today, I thought I might need this when I'll be going to the gym three times a week
