Will tube damper rings help with a long plate 12AX7 that makes a little noise from time to time? A slight tap usually gets rid of the noise. Aug 6, 2022 at 9:37 PM

Did a casual comparison between my new Meze Elite and ZMF Auteur. Hate to say it, but the Auteur got trounced! Not really a fair fight…

  $4K planar vs sub-$2K dynamic, but the Auteur has been my favorite for a while now. Didn’t expect to clearly favor the Elite.

I successfully resisted buying @MisterRogers Blackwood Auteur last week but couldn’t survive the second test of my willpower.

  Yeah, what are the odds?! I needed another headphone like a hole in the head. Something will have to go after I’ve spent some time comparing them all.

I finally have the SW51+ and Quicksilver Headphone amp in the house. As fate would have it, my Bifrost 2 died before I got to listen. Swell.

  My Bifrost 2 is currently at Schiit's facility, but they are waiting on parts to complete the repairs.

  Oops, sorry to hear about the BF2!

  I thought it would be a quick turnaround, but their site estimates new BF2’s to ship in 4-6 weeks. That doesn’t bode well for a speedy repair.

Came home after a terrible week to find my new-to-me SW51+ waiting for me to unpack. It doesn’t disappoint hooked up to my Bifrost 2 & VC.

  It's hard to go wrong with a setup composed entirely of Golden Schlong Award winners!

  You’ve been waiting on that amp for a while! Looking forward to more detailed impressions.

  @Merrick I have indeed! I’m going to listen for a while before posting more. As you may recall, I’m also waiting on a Quicksilver Headphone Amp. I really want to compare these two and see which one I like more.
