Title: Christmas Karma ifi iPurifier (first version?)
Post by: mresseguie on 10 Dec 2021, 09:15 pm: Hello, Kiddies.

It's Karma time! I have an iFi iPurifier that has been sitting in my bookshelf for countless ages. It's sat there unused so long that I swear it's begun giving me dirty looks. It's time to let someone else have it. This must be the original version because mine doesn't have a '2' or '3' on the box.

Anyone can join this Karma. Pick a number from 1 to 30. [This includes the numbers 1 and 30.] If you're in the lower 48, I'll send it on my dime. If you're in HI, AK, Canada, or anywhere else in the world, I'll ask you to pay for shipping. Sound fair?

It's my pleasure. This is my Christmas present to a lucky member in the AC community.

I had kinda been hoping to get a 2022 Tundra hybrid in my stocking, but the rollout has been glacier so far. Hybrids may not be available for another 6 months. :roll:

Good observation! David C will either have to select a different number or bribe Audiosarusrex into relinquishing the number. Just kidding. Bribery is not allowed for this Karma.

How about a lucky 19?

Absolutely!

I'm awaiting David C's number change before I close out this Karma. I sent him a PM, but he hasn't responded yet. There's still room to squeeze in if anyone is interested.
Title: Re: Christmas Karma ifi iPurifier (first version?)
Post by: mresseguie on 15 Dec 2021, 01:56 am: Does anyone know Dave C's phone number or email? He hasn't responded to my PM. If he doesn't respond by tonight, I'm going to have to remove him in order to get on with this Karma.
Title: Re: Christmas Karma ifi iPurifier (first version?)
Post by: Letitroll98 on 15 Dec 2021, 10:40 am: Even if we did know, it would be in our best interests not to come forward as we all get another chance if he doesn't. But I don't know if that's Dave's bad karma or ours. 🤔

That's a real chicken or the egg situation right there. :scratch:

Title: Re: Christmas Karma ifi iPurifier (first version?)
Post by: David C on 15 Dec 2021, 05:00 pm: Michael, thanks for chasing me down. If not too late I’ll take #18. Thank you

Post by: richidoo on 15 Dec 2021, 05:34 pm: I have one of these little gadgets, it works really well! Definitely a big audible improvement on high jitter source like my old Sonos. It brings the jitter down to 100pS (https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=157348.20) and it works on multichannel signal too.

I've decided to use an entirely unscientific method to select the winning number. I will present these numbers (without names) to my wife and ask her to choose one. Your fate lies in the hands (mind) of my <still beautiful after 30 years of marriage> Taiwanese wife. Bwahahahahahaaaaa!
Title: Re: Christmas Karma ifi iPurifier (first version?)
Post by: mresseguie on 15 Dec 2021, 07:05 pm: Fate has spoken! :notworthy:

My wife said, "Lucky number 7." [Actually, she said, "Either 7 or 13." Whereupon I told her only one number is allowed.] :xmas: :banana piano: :hyper:

Mr. Delta77. Come on down! Please PM me your name and address. I'll mail this via USPS.

Merry Christmas!
