Not via mail, but delivered to me this afternoon....a CCA CA16 + KBEAR cable (love the soft feel), the KZ case was bundled with the IEM.

Been running the new IEM with my old and trusty HFM HM901s, and yes, the mug is new as well, collected it today.

While I was at it, took a pic of almost all my IEM, even have the first 'audiophile' IEM I'd gotten in the Shure SE215. You will notice that I have two pairs of Senfer 4in1, fell in love with it and decided I needed one more as backup. The thre ChiFi IEMs were bought within a month's timeframe I think....don't think I'd be getting any more after this.

Well, if you'd look at my collection of IEMs, you'd notice that I also have the following: CA Jupiter, Fitear Parterre, and a Senn IE800....and budget mainstream IEMs like the Shure SE215 and the JVC HA-FXZ100 (surprised that Amazon has this for >$300, I bought this for less than that, but it was a wayz back)) for good measure (love the creamy bass of its two dynamic drivers/side).

Edit - Besides, I don't equate price to performance, these ChiFi IEMs do perform admirably and punch way above their price range. Just about all are fitted with my fave eartips from Comply. I don't think I'd be buying any more IEMs, but even IF I do, they'd prolly be ChiFi IEMs as I find them to be of much better value vs branded ones like Shure/Fitear/Sennheiser/etc. Main reason why I'm using the HN901s is because I can't find my Fiio X2 which, when combined with my JDS Labs C5, was my go to portable stack. One of these days, I'm gonna make a concerted effort to find that $%#@ Fiio X2!

I must be seeing double!

Last week I placed an order with Mouser for some components, mostly some Millmax 7305 sockets which I was hoping to play around with to make a hotswappable board.
The delivery was scheduled for last Friday but when I checked the tracker it said the package still hadn't been dropped off with UPS. After a quick email exchange with their customer service they said they'd send out a replacement package while they looked into the missing one. Fast forward to today, it would seem that someone found the lost package, it arrived along with its replacement...

So for about 3 extra days of waiting I got a couple hundred bonus 7305s and a couple dozen bonus DIP sockets

I'd take that deal again in a heartbeat

Got this yesterday actually, a Wang MEC-101S (OEMed NTC KB-6252EA) with Hua-Jie AK-DN2 Green linear switches. Which are a rare switch according to DT! Can't say they're anything special feel wise as they're just linear ALPS clones, although they are very smooth. Which kinda makes me wonder why linear ALPS clones are a rarity? Considering the clones simplified the SKCM/SKCL design as much as possible to save on costs, you'd think linears would have been made the most since they require less parts.

Have ordered a Tissot PRS 200 Silver dial Quartz watch, along with a HiBy R3 Pro for some audio fun. Gonna have to wait for delivery which would prolly take a week or two. Also have a cheap cross body bag on the way as well, to carry my phones, DAP and whatnot when I'm out and about. Oh yeah, will be getting a BGVP Zero Est IEM, and considering a Ti HiFi P1 as well...gonna play around with the BGVP Zero first though.

Well, your one MD Empire Ears Zeus could have paid for all the ChiFi IEMs plus the Tissot watch, right? Anyway, gotta be patient and play the waiting game for the R3 Pro and Tissot watch to be restocked. Watches is another one of my hobbies....thought of getting a Tudor 1926, but passed on it as I think I'd rather put my money on some audio gear and the still great looking Tissot watch.

haven't worn a watch in forever since going outside is a nono. I need to service my vint gs and get a new strap for it (weird taper size) but honestly don't wanna put the money into it right now. I got a killer deal on that zeus though but it's on its way to get reshelled to custom cuz I couldn't wear em well.

Decided to get the Tin HiFi P1 as well, have already collected the BGVP Zero (surprised that stock cable was a 4.4mm balanced cable, fortunately, I have a spare ALO MMCX cable that I can use), will collect the P1 tomorrow. My watch will be arriving soon, so I'd probably wait to have all of 'em before I'd post a couple of pics. Next few days' gonna be lotta fun!

Edit: I have cancelled my order of the R3 Pro Saber and am instead, getting a used but mint condition Cayin N5iis....the price was too good to resist. Getting both the Cayin N5iis and Tin HiFi P1 later today, will be back with pics.

Got my stuff today, well, most of it anyway, first off, the Cayin N5iiS is in near immaculate condition, it looks so awesome encased in steel. Also got the BGVP Zero (with silver colored cable) and the Tin HiFi P1 (copper cable). The Cayin DAP simply looks damn good...2x 400GB mSD support, MQA (might go Tidal HiFi because of this)

Yes, I'd used Paint to obscure the last four digit of the serial number.

The Tissot PRS 200 Silver dial hasn't arrived yet, though it's expected in sometime next week. While scouring the local sale sections in the local forums, I'd come across this Tissot, it's the Tissot PRC 200 Autoquartz, that's right, an automatic watch with quartz movement and accuracy. Honestly, I've not heard of such a watch, so I snagged it without a moment's hesitation. I like the idea of an automatic watch with quartz movement/accuracy, I sent it for polishing, together with another of my well worn watches, and they came back looking like new! This will be my go to watch from now on as it's not expensive, like the Orient Kamasu which I also have, and I'm simply in love with the idea that it's both an automatic and a quartz watch.

Some stuff I had ordered came yesterday, first off, a USB powered sterilizer which also acts as a wireless charger. I can use it to sterilize my handphones, IEM's, wallet, etc, as long as it fits within the box. I tried my phone, which has wireless charging capability, and after the first 10 mins of sterilization, it goes into charging mode, pretty neat!

Next, my Tissot PRS 200 Silver Dial arrived yesterday and I'm smitten with it, it looks awesome and my pic doesn't do it justice.

My watch winder box had also arrived yesterday, now I don't have to rotate my automatic watches like a madman to keep 'em running.

Since I love using my Fold, I'd decided to upgrade it to a Fold 2 which I'd already pre-ordered and paid for, I should be getting it on the 18th, Sept. I chose Mystic Black and will post pics when I get it.

Also bought a Huawei P30 Pro to use as a 2nd phone and for its great camera (it should be delivered soon), the P30 Lite I have right now has been relegated to being a spare phone. I use it more as a phone to trash, I load lotsa market apps like AliExpress, Qoo10, Laz Mall, etc....and other local apps like Uniqlo, Carousell and so forth.

My last purchase for the year would probably be an RTX 3080 or Big Navi, waiting for the latter to be released and will pick the faster card.

Kinda ticked off at USPS right now as I think they might have lost my Krytox 105 (x2) and TX Stem holder I ordered last week. Was due to arrive on Monday but here it is Thursday and all it's saying is that it will arrive late (it's said this since Tuesday).
