MJ3+MIB+Utopia (OG) is a formidable combination. MIB was the missing piece of the puzzle. Edit: MIB not MIL, sorry typo Apr 6, 2024

  Val2 and HD650KM is made for acoustic folk. @Wilson called it for me. Hauntingly good!

  Valhalla 2 and HD650KM is a fantastic pairing for jazz! The imaging is a thing of beauty.

  Somebody here mentioned the new Dirty Projectors album...damn this great via THX-00. This reminds me of Bon Iver before he got weird.

    Seems like it would be fun to listen to on TH-X00, yeah. Lots of deep bass there. I'm digging the album too.

    There are cheap enough lots of 8 or more 6SN7s going on ebay. Guess I should grab some and go to town.

    A lot of 8 will probably keep me for the next fifteen years. I don't want to become a hardcore 6SN7 roller.

  Relaxing and spinning CDs in Denon transport SPDIF into ModiB/Jot/HD650KM. Thinking about if going to Gungnir Multibit would be a good step up?

    Same question on my mind, I've tried the Gungnir Multibit a few times at trade shows and always wanted to own one, but now I'm not so sure. (schiit Bifrost Multibit owner)

    I feel your pain. Fox's livestream stopped working for me before the last two touchdowns and two-point conversions. Luckily got to see the end though!

    My brother turned it off when ATL scored their touchdown to get it to 28. I told him to turn it back on when the Pats got it back to 8 down.

  Got schooled on MQA by Mytek president Michał Jurewicz. Heard a solid demo on 2 channel and headphones, very interesting...

    Why not hear the same thing in its original 24/96 instead of MQA?
