The more dac reviews I read, the more I am convinced that Schiit has hit the value sweetspot with their mb dacs, but especially Gungnir.
Great tool, but you have to be careful. Quite a few scams coming out of Europe on popular bits of expensive gear. No PayPal buyer protection = No go.
Just point them to Mike's comments on HF about MB break-in and warm-up and then go tell them to kiss your grits.
Is Stratus really that much better than EC to your liking? I mean, Stratus with a customized set of tubes is definitely endgame material (loving mine) but Afficionado or ZDS should probably be too...?
@Magnetostatic_Tubephile ZDS was definitely not my thing but I can see how some people will like it. I think Stratus is one rung above ZDS in both design and performance. AF I will not comment on. @BillOhio it came with Shuguang 2A3B which aren't bad for $100/pr but sound crude next to NOS Miniwatt 2A3s. Looking at the possibility of obtaining EML or AVVT.
Maybe here and there. I have some new gear I'd like to share impressions on in a few weeks. Mostly just glad to have access to my PMs again.
This has a collection and a blurb about each: https://tapeop.com/interviews/81/recording-and-music-creation-podcasts/

Not advocating censorship, but the sight of men fucking each other while wearing HiFiMANs jolts me in an unpleasant way.
@JK47 how about you ridicule the creator of it, me? I think that would be more to the point than just ridiculing the voters. @Mystic got my post. Definitely ballsy, as in it contained 2 sets of balls.
I'm fine. Just very disillusioned with the quality of content and membership on this site these days. I don't feel compelled to contribute much anymore.
Play your favourite album and you forget about your wallet. Prince and Grimes are on my "fun" play list...
Agreed, I've been on a huge Sinead kick as of late but sadly one of my Valhalla tubes up and died a few days ago so I'm patiently waiting for a replacement set from Schiit to get back to it.
Do you have a favorite album? There's a few on Universal Mother I cherish. Faith and Courage is another one I like.
Out of her studio work her debut never gets old for me. I spend more time listening to the live show on the 2nd CD of She Who Dwells... and some of the one-off tracks shes done. e.g. The Foggy Dew w/ The Chieftains, Thief of Your Heart for a film score and the cover of Chiquitita she did for a charity collaboration.
Well, I saw you liked X, one of my favorite bands, so Elastica seems like a good bet then after reading about them for a bit.
Yes, although if I rewrote it today that review could be a whole lot better haha. Corrs are lovely but I haven't listened in a while, going to give them a try on my new setup now.
