@sheldaze May be able to help

@brencho has experience with both.

Thanks for the suggestions gents!

I keep saying they need to make an updated fully balanced model, and it would sell like mad.

If the BW2 really does manage to get as close to the EC house sound as possible with solid state then I can see how it'd sell like ice cream in summer. If anything a new, fully-balanced version will hopefully make it easier to land an older BW2 for those who're fine with unbalanced, haha.

It is good that BW2 is gone, so that EC has time to make new amps like Af and Studio Jr.

I googled HD650K and got a laugh. Right, it's the kiss mod. Lol.

Magic 8 ball says $350-$550 shipped for a pair. Figure 30-40% of new price or what folks advertised them for on ebay , agon. etc.

Have you searched on hifishark and looked at the sold/expired tab? That's the easiest way I've found.

Thanks guys. Didn't think of using Ebay. First time hearing about hifishark. I got these things second hand and they have essentially been in storage for at least seven years. Its time for someone else to enjoy them.

Alas if work were not getting in the way. End of quarter shenanigans await me! LOL!

lucky! ordered mine late in the day of release and just shipped today, estimated arrival is wednesday 28th! Enjoy though, any idea what tubes you will be trying? As of now i plan on trying out Sylvania '52 3 hole, '53 2 hole, raytheon vt-231, kenrad vt-231, rca vt-231 grey glass... lots of sonic options!

I live in SoCal so delivery from Schiit takes 1-2 days tops. As for tubes I'll spend some time listening to the stock tube until I can familiarize myself with its signature.

Afterwards I'll try a PSVane 6SN7 that I've been using in my Saga.

I listened to y2 ice cold off the truck... toss up between ass and cream of rice breakfast cereal :D

I plugged it in around 11am and just now decided to give it a listen. No complaints at all. I'm going to wait a couple of days to compare it to the Modi Multibit and Bifrost Multibit I have onhand to then decide which of the others I'll part with.

um, if that's a new production Gungnir Multibit an easy prediction: smaller loses.

I have some mogami 2534 left. Very nice cable indeed, thicker than I thought.

I like the flexibility. I had a mish mash of cables I had lying around that were slightly thinner and less flexible. It was time to replace them.

Their live in NY album is one of my favorite LPs/CDs of all time.

Interesting to know especially since I grew up in NYC. A good friend introduced me to them a couple of weekends ago.

Yes! It’s great!

This is one of the albums I purchased as an high res download to see if it was worth the add'l money vs. Cd (not for me). Not a bad cut anywhere.

A lot of good masterings on that one. 2000 (and based on the 2000) are the only digital ones that sound unfortunate. And the 2000 was dicked around with EQ rather than the usual DR travesty that is so common. (Innervisions trivia of the day.)
