Tried asking GPT4?

Most of moOde settings are in the browser, not at the command line. IIRC, I did all the setup for it in the browser.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I got it figured out. Was basically a user error type situation haha

I did get sick of the heaviness on blackwood Aeolus truthfully and LCD2 F. The cherry Atticus seems light in comparison.
Thanks again @Slade01

Well, I'm not saying that you aren't a moron ( ;) ) but, decades ago, closed headphones put me off headphones completely. It was only in more recent years that I discovered /open/ headphones.

Well, ok, I don't think you are a moron. Not for that bias, at least.

And maybe, these days, I'd like to isolated sometimes...

If you want semi-open audio bliss find a good AKG Sextett (not easy anymore) and find the right amplifier (check source and high/low gain settings). Sometimes you can find an old Philips N6330 (AKG & Philips worked together somehow) and I had one. You can listen to music for hours, just pure bliss.

Sounds fine but wtf is this a really bad thing ? Kind of want to punch myself in the face right now.

Have heard of people getting actual holes in the baffle of their 6x0—no change in sound

That area all around is the "baffle" then ? It's very thin. Hopefully it doesn't get worse :(

Driving speakers that dip below 4 ohms with both Aegirs rock solid now. Can't say how much I enjoy them, best move I ever made for my speaker rig.

Stock tubes and a set of amperex forever ago.

I've rolled a lot of tubes thorugh the thing and stock are best. The SW51+ can't do bass, just gotta move on and accept it for what it does well.

Does anyone have a spare set of tubes they are willing to let go. Just wanted a back up set.$42 shipped from zampotech USA otherwise.

I think they sound good with both Valis, og and 2.

Elex + Lyr 3 for me. Excellent combo. SW51+ not the best with Elex like HD650. I don’t really like Piety with Elex though either, but that’s in direct compare to Lyr.

I like mine out of jotunheim, doesn’t surprise me they also sound good out of jot2 as well.

Tempering expectations: the Piety is NOT a giant-killer, but for my preferences and whatnot it's enough to put a smile on my face going through my library.

Yep I'll stick with HD600 for the next few sessions and do some amp swapping. Been mainly listening to a crack and sw51+

Looks like you have the value trinity of amps for Senns...and all are difficult to come by. Global geopolitics (SW51+), scarcity (Piety), DIY (Crack).

Maybe not related but Winter cold and low humidity make for static discharge that can mess with stuff. Yesterday I zapped Yggdrasil when I touched it and it locked up. Power cycle fixed it. Maybe same issue with Pi2AES. Big discharge might also affect SD card?

@crazychile you're very correct about static in the winter. I have a humidifier just for the music room. Spinning vinyl and touching electronics with super low dew points and cold dryness sucks. Snap crackle pop ! I don't remember any static discharge when I plugged in pi2aes though.

This shit happened again today, woke up grabbed a coffee and wanted to sit down slam some Sabbath into my brain. Error directory not found ALSA output error lol. I fired up the oppo103 stuck my USB drive in it and off we go. Also just spun the vinyl of the album I was wanting to hear.

Now you need x2 Tyrs

Sure x2 Tyrs is something I've lusted after a bit. After hearing 2 Aegirs, amp Nervosa completely cured !

Order placed. I got a B-stock MP-7. I'm very excited to hear this. I'm especially hopeful that the MP-7 will help surface noise to recede into the background. I recently picked up a Schiit Mani 2, and while the unit has many commendable traits, it's still noisier than I would like.

I liked Mani 2, much quieter than Mani 1. I wanted a bump up after having gungnir A2 on the speaker system, you can probably understand. I cheaped out with a AT-VM95ML and am super impressed between the ML stylus and MP-7 it's sooo quiet AND sounds impressive.

Got my mp-7 back with updated board and upgraded jacks. First LP David Gilmour S/T 1978 press second lp Frank Zappa Waka jawaka 1972 press. Thanks @Keith Richardson

I have been eyeing this one, I think I'll have to splurge.

I ordered the record as well couldn't help it.

Spun my 1977 original that has same stampers as some promos. What an amazing album, after it was done I spun the remix vinyl. 84 minutes of animals FTW

Shit me why didn't I order this kit sooner ? They already sound even better after 12-15 hours.

Funny thing is a couple of em are from the east coast and they are not from UK

I'm from NZ and have always said TIM-bruh (ie none of the above!). I also say fill-it (of fish) not fill-lay, which annoys the locals because they think it should be French.

I'd go with El Tamberino, or the tammer, or just tams, if you're into the whole brevity thing.

Iirc @schiit indicated on head-fi that they'll be selling octal lisst again soon.

Looking for BH crack if anyone has one collecting dust. Will trade liquid platinum or buy it

@HotRatSalad it reads like that was supposed to be a new status message, not a comment on your old one.

These have mag chassis as well and have some extra/better XLR cables available.

Bumping probably put them up soon. Uni perf lamb and suede pads.

Been rocking out in Nexus 4x mostly. Listening to snow goose from camel seems fitting for Dec 23.

I hate to add to the nervousa, but perhaps try a decent BAL to SE trafo, and stay passive thru Freya. That's what I prefer, at least.

I guess I could grab Another vidar and avoid the whole thing ! Any issue with matching vidars that aren't bought new at the same time ?

The ESS is Unison, not theMB card. And they are an option.

Schiit says only the MB dac is available on rag 2 no unison option yet :(

Right. Modi MB and MB cards are still CirrusLogic. I think Fulla and ESS are also still CL USB.
