    They might be a lost cause, there isnt much volume in demand for anything over 50 bux unfortunately. I on the other hand am here to learn!

    Did the Apogee Groove or Feliks Audio Elise have ratings for this thread?

    @PerfectAnalog there were some insanely wild claims (whether justified or not is to be left in the middle) and drama involved, the loaner program is starting soon and then some notable members will be able to classify it.

    Essentially there's not enough people that have heard it on this site I guess. I'm curious myself if it's at least is above and beyond a Valhalla 2 (random price/performance example) it might have something good going on for it.

    I certainly didn't intend to re-ignite some sort of flame war.

    I have an Elise on order. I'd be happy to let anyone who happens to be passing through Austin to give it a listen once I receive it. The lead time on it is huge. I think they have 1 or 2 guys hand soldering them all.

    I do have a Groove, which I enjoy, though wouldn't rave about. It was a byproduct of an Adorama combo deal.
    I don't have any frame of reference for small portable USB DAC/Amp combos

    Anyone ever heard Cavalli Liquid Gold? Wonder where that fits in.

    Am I the only one who does not understand what the Sennheiser HD6X0 refers to? Insofar as we also have Class VG rating for Sennheiser HD650 and HD600, this is apparently something different.

    Sorry if this question has already been answered. I appreciate any clarity. Thanks in advance!

    It's a designation given to the HD650 and HD600 as a group. You're referring to both of them as one entity since they are so similar

    Thanks! And I see now that there was no contradiction between the Golden Schlong medal and the Class VG ratings. Gungnir Multibit is also rated Class VG.

    Anyone have any thoughts on where the Asgard 2 belongs? Would it be VG? It does everything better than the Magni 2U IMO, although I think the tonality on the M2U is just a little more fun because it has a touch more bass.

    Since you're back, any plans on the (democratic?) reworking of the Leaderboard?

    Not totally back. I have a funeral, cremation, and burial to attend to in the next week or so.

    Probably bad price to performance ratio.
    Dunno... I still want to try the 009.

    STAX are such a niche that they should probably be excluded. People who want them will have them. I wouldn't mind a SR009 with a KGST or something similar. Free Orpheus works too.

    I've actually been looking for one of those.
