Crikey, that's what a necatrine is? The ones with no fuzzy stuff?

I thought one was a crossbreed?

WHAT

I’d eat one.

I think adding cheese between the flax layers would really add a lot of texture to the bass. Slap some lettuce on top for crunch and you've got a killer edible headphone.

Dude, fresh avocado adds a richness few ingredients can match. You need avocado.

That stinks man, hopefully it won’t take long to get fixed. A holiday without vinyl...sucks.

Beautiful looking Schiit chain! Quick question: Is the general consensus, here, that it's perfectly fine stacking a Freya right on top of an Yggdrasil?

I stopped stacking them shortly after that photo based on how hot Freya gets. No harm done, but probably not great in the long term.

Yeah I had to buy like 2 or 3 extra glass shelves for a steel Sanus Rack just to stick all my other stuff in there...while having an Yggdrasil lay on a Top-most open shelf w/ a Freya laying over it, on something like this monitor riser/stand: https://www.amazon.com/Allsop-Adjustable-Adjustments-Non-Skid-31630/dp/B01C09ZSNM Just to not worry about overheating issues... and also for an easy access to Tube Swapping.

Judging by how compressed the last 2 albums were, I would not hold my breath. Listen to Nude or The Tourist and you can feel how real it gets. TKOL I understand but it's a shame Pool was passed through a grater as it has the DNA of Rainbows.

Agreed, there's a beautiful album under there- that's the worst part.

I used to be a huge Radiohead fan, I mean I have everything they recorded including unobtainium bootlegs. I even met Thom Yorke once. It's a shame that even Nigel Godrich can fall into the compressed radio friendly sound trap.
Now that classical music is my alpha and omega, I feel lucky to have so much music with excellent dynamic range. The faintest whisper can be coupled with an orchestral volcanic eruption!

Yep, it's a Salamander Barcelona. It's built like an absolute tank. Extruded aluminum skeleton with about an inch and a half of veneered MDF wrapping it.

Such a beautifully put together setup. Very nice!

Love the aesthetics! So simple and clean!

Yeah! It's too bad that the newer people who get into the hobby won't get the chance to try them out aside from buying used and reshelling.

Holy smokes, I blew my Svetlana 6922S today; I have to order replacements :(

I see a lot of cool gear on your profile page so will be interested to see what you list. I would certainly have interest in some of that gear. Good luck with the purge.

I recently took most of the stuff I'm planning I'm selling off of my profile, but I'll get a list up in the FS section before the NYC meet so I can bring them in person on Sunday.

I'm looking to sell my Marantz TT15S1 (w/ clearaudio virtuoso) and Project Debut Carbon (Gray w/ Ortofon 2m red, acrylic platter, & speedbox psu) which will be tricky to ship, so locals will get priority if they're interested.

Holy crap, that's a crisis. You seem to be handling it well, though.

Oh man I hear you. Mobile days without UERM is unbearable.

It's too early to tell what is coming in 2016.

Agreed. I'm judging 2016 way too early but I'm getting jaded by the increasing prices for headphones that seem to be side-grades rather than improvements, I guess that's how summit-fi works though. I hope Massdrop & Schiit keep up the trend of pushing the price/performance boundary, I think it's going to be a big pressure to keep the industry innovating (while pricing competitive).
