Erroneous

I was and am quite fond of the Denon. The idea is to go from conical to microline and see the results. So far it's good, but not Earth shattering.

I recognize the new cart likely needs 50-100hrs burn in.

Oh, man, RIP. Too soon.

Wow, so sad to hear. Thanks for letting us know. He will definitely be missed.

I found a gofundme for his funeral expenses. Don’t know if it’s appropriate to post

It's not your fault you're so good looking, @gixxerwimp. It's in your *jeans*.

What tube does it take and what does it sound like?

Pretty sure there were 5654W tubes in it and it sounds relatively normal. It's still a $200ish amp so don't expect a miracle but it's nice for what it is.

Yea, not expecting a giant killer. Am more curious about the tonal nature. If it sounds straight or wet or dry or both wet & peaky (like Piety).

Anyone? No one? Crickets compared to last meet.

I couldn’t go to the Austin meet because of family travels that were already planned. This one would be a 4.5 hour drive each way for me on a Thursday.

Had a memorable time in December but quarterly is too much for me. I'll come back down in the fall, salty lord willing.

Someone beat me to it. I very much appreciate the kind Friend for reaching out and offering assistance!

Sorry you missed out! What were they, out of curiosity.

@RestoredSparda White Paper HD580. I already own some but wouldn't mind a backup. They're hard to find.

It's honestly been long time coming, glad they're finally getting the attention they deserve! Congrats @E_Schaaf @tommytakis

And whoever "A" is [thumbs up]

Damn straight!

When headphones need to happen, I enjoy the shit out of that too.
This is a really good problem to have.

Agreed. Everytime I get a glimpse of my 2CH system it is, indeed, the answer. Giv'r!

I try to have some porch time every day. Our indoor/outdoor cat loves to sit in my lap while I enjoy the quiet beauty of nature, a purring cat and a beverage.

Shit is like ridiculous good.

I know what you mean...doubling down on tubes though!

Don't know if this helps at all, but the wayback machine may have a copy: https://web.archive.org/web/20170608060531im_/http://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/data/avatars/l/2/2094.jpg?1471027803

@scblock That may have been it. Either way, I'm going to stick with that one. Thanks to all who lent a hand!

There is only one Son House!

Yeah, I de-modded the account and changed PW. Will reach out to Jimmy separately.

Thanks for taking care of things @zerodeefex.

Lol, I literally wouldn't even know how. I was googling if Paypal could do a conversion like with foreign currencies.

@wbass I know of a great pair of Auteur Blackwood for sale.

New stuff is in the pipeline. Pandemic and moving to new facility pushed back release date but ZMF's working on a sub-$1K headphone. Zach talks about it here (starts at ca. 51:00): https://open.spotify.com/episode/0HS7lxxtdcOoOZt9XmNrcX?si=beacc7f527444d5b&nd=1

One of these days I would love to go to ZMFestivus and try the whole line next to each other. They are beautiful and I would love to have one again. Finally (as in last week) just got all tube amps in order and sounding great.

Maybe I've just listened to it in passing so far, but for sit down headphones time it's gonna be a no from me.

Nah, that’s just how he talks, bro. :P

Love his songs but his voice is probably best with the next-room and wet blanket knobs turned right up.
I once left the house for awalk when a housemate took a Dylan double album to the turntable and I knew it was for all 4 sides

Next up, @jaker782 plz and thnx.

Thank you! Very cool place to be hanging out and learning from.

Been an exciting day...Friend status here and also Boondock Saints 3 is official!

Don't think I'm quite in your league, but I appreciate the endorsement... I have much to learn!

Wait... there was a Boondock Saints 2?? ;)
