getting audiophilic!

Just got some bad news yesterday, I won't be getting my commission from PC FAIR till end of June. What the heck right? its been 2 months already and I haven't been fully paid! How stupid. Argghhh...



So this means I'll have to wait for another month till I can get my headphone amp. ONE MONTH.. I've been intensively researching on which and what is more worth buying, and the final verdict is the Ibasso D2 Boa. This amp will actually blow my budget twice with some spare(RM550++). I figured I won't be changing amps as often as changing headphones, so might as well get a good one.



Frankly speaking, I do have enough fundings now to buy the amp, but after doing so will leave me without a single penny to survive. I'll have to rely on cheese+crackers for a month! So should I?? I'm aiming for my next pair of cans, Grado SR60 which will cost another bunch of paychecks. :( why am I poor???




I when to test out LifeImpact's new portable sound system in church just now, the Alto OEX 900. At first glance, it looks like a Star Trek space ship, or futuristic Japanese custom vans complete with its own hood ornament! Its GIGANTIC and HEAVY. Certainly bulky by all means.



It sounded OK. Just OK, neither good nor bad.. Probably I'm too used to have awesome sounding headphones slapped against my ears. Hahaha.. Well we'll have to see how it performs at the coming Life Game!

Speaking of which, I'll be gone for a total 8 days for the next 2 weeks for camp! YAY!!!!
