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.

Yep this amp not for me, Going back to Jot 2 with Aeolus is like a breath of fresh air.

Nothing wrong with discovering your tastes and what works best for you. I hope you are able to easily recover the purchase price.

I should be able to, small loss isn't huge deal at least I got a chance to hear it. Sometimes a negative outcome can teach you as much as a positive one. It's like magnius all over again LoL

Been listening to these out of ZDT jr and I question why I even want another headphone. I could be happy forever. Picked these up off a friend here for $800 shipped.

Make sure you stay hydrated.

At least you know it’s working. I felt like crap for a couple of days but was worth it.

Feel a bit better today ! Lots of sleeping helps.

what config you using @Merrick I guess the easiest thing for me would be that 4pin xlr to 2.5mm adapter. Is this ok to use without breaking shit ? I only tried SE no other cables for balanced IEM yet.

That adapter should be fine if you have a balanced cable for your IEM with a 2.5mm TRRS termination.

Yep got some one the way. Probably need an extension cable. Got UM 3DT been using qudelix 5k but want Jot2 for summer months listening occasionally.

@HotRatSalad Dude I ordered on the 1st of Feb :) come on join the club. Sell an unused cable or something if it makes you feel better!

@Ksaurav402 Thanks for the impressions! What source are you using them with?

These are the only IEMs I own. They’re great!
