What items have you purchased as a result of ASR?

Oppo 203 at an absurd premium to retail. And none too soon - the prices have gotten only worse!
 
JDS Labs Atom directly because of ASR. Topping DX3Pro I bought used from a friend after checking review (and comments) here and confirming my hands on experience with it. And on the other side of the question, I would NOT have bought the Meier Corda Jazz if the review had been here at the time, though I have been happy with it for the most part.
 
When I was moderating ASR I spent so long on the loo doing it I had to purchase more comfortable seating.

Like these ?

It's a very temporary response that will disappear in 59 minutes ...

Buckeye Amps NC252-based four-channel amp for my heights.
 
Nothing yet, but I have confirmed that recent purchases were quality choices. Also found out that my Marantz AV-7705 is an engineering hot mess.
 
Lurker here, but finally joined the Forum. Purchase influence on several recent buys:

Denon 8500h
Bluesound Node 2i
Schiit Modi 3+

‘Pending purchase: Buckeye 4 channel Amp.

Updated:

- Buckeye 6 channel 502 Amp (ASR-Direct)
- Philips Audio Fidelio X2HR Over-Ear Open-Air Headphone (Amazon)
- KOSS KPH30I HEADPHONES (Drop)
- MASSDROP X SENNHEISER HD 6XX HEADPHONES (Pre-ordered)
 
My friend's Denon AVR-X3600H, solely because of the thread here. If he ups that system to separates it will be stuff I cull from here.
 
  • Topping E30
  • Topping D90
  • Monolith THX 887
  • RME ADI-2 PRO FSR <== my ASR grand prize win
  • Focal Clear Pro <== Info in the thread cut through the noise and persuaded me to keep them; I am glad I did
 
Wow, I can see ASR has had a lot of influence on me the last few months:

Genelec 8010a - Desktop speakers from heaven but I did also get RME subwoofer 7040a
RME ADI-2 DAC fs - not just a DAC/Amp but an audio exploration tool.
Sennheiser HD800s - Glued to my head for the last two weeks; relief check put to good use.
 
Let me add to my earlier post:
  • Beyerdynamic DT1990 Pro - bought and sold
  • Audeze LCD-3 - bought and kept
  • Loxjie P30 - bought and sold
  • Focal Clear - bought and sold
  • HIFIMAN Arya - bought and returned
  • HEDD HEDDphones - bought and sold

Why did you keep the Audeze LCD-3 having rejected all else? Or perhaps you had them long enough and just got bored?
