The RD-X is what got me back into high end hp after a 6 year hiatus, will ALWAYS hold a special place in my heart. N I’m on the Auteur Classic loaner too, first ZMF can I’ll get the chance to hear! Supes excited.

You are in for a treat with the Auteur. In a way its comparable to the RD-x. The bio drivers sound great and with my setup its pulling out lots of detail while maintaining a smooth effortless vibe. Bit more intimate sounding though.

I snagged a JARHD660 for this pairing, plus M6Ultra. c'mon synergy!

Thanks to all the great folks here, I was able to secure a Walnut x.3!

Perhaps you could lift the mids and even the highs with some shallow beveled cavity perforated earpads

I hadnt really been considering pad rolling, but had some ZMF ovals to try out, and they make a sig. difference in the presentation. The stock pads were a bit flat, which may account for the drastic change...But these are certainly a better experience.
Ill have to get some perf. pads soon

Yea I'd like the simplicity of the all in one aswell.

Is this headphone any good? One of the few headphones I haven't heard.

So far I am enjoying it. I am still waiting on the 1.1 upgrade kit, but in stock form its pretty good with enough power behind it. I think that it works very well as a compliment to the HD800. Just an easy listen overall with good bass extension and smooth mids/treble.

Hearing a 2.3 with a modded mk 4 for hd800 was a big listening event for me. It hasn’t been the same since. I assume eaglewings had a similar experience

The JAR800 will be back with me in a week or so which will be the first time i have heard this combo.

I am pretty sure part of this revelation today is a new set of rectifiers.

It does have a charm to it, always thought I could live with a 0.11 after having the 0.1 here.
Pretty sweet if you got a spdif to feed them.

Awesome. So there are jar 580, 600, 650, 800, and now 660s. I'll sign up for sure...

Cheers, mate. Happy Friday.

And the same to you!

I just realised that it is is Friday. For the next 25 minutes.

Never heard BA but having heard some EC amps (and having one myself) I would imagine they sound quite different

That’s the problem. Both sound great! Starlett has more euphony while BA has more detail and “deliberate” accuracy of stage.

Thanks for sending! I barely got all my stuff erm...stuffed into my suitcases (including my modded 800 and @Bill-P big 800). Let the comparos begin. :)

Interested, but don't think I have enuf saved up yet :(

Same boat as @gixxerwimp

PM me!

Ok…this has to be my next project.

Black diamond in particular interests me!

I"m not interested in the loaner, but I am glad members do this sort of thing to support the hobby.

if there's enough people in Canada to justify sending it up north, maaaaybe, but I figure that's not gonna happen

SWT51+ with Modi Multibit FTW

I am currently using the ECP walnut proto. But am going to swap out the Modi mb tonight.

Sooo, who is looking to sell their SW51+?!?!?

Where did you get the black diamond? I'd love to hear one...

@rhythmdevils Got it from a guy, Todd, local to me who bought it from Doug years ago after a show. He goes by skullguise in HF and Head-case. Re. Your comment. We can work that out!

It’s not overly difficult, but you have to be careful and slow. Lots of components (small) on the board. Some flux and wick can go a long way. Lots of videos on YouTube to show you what your in for!

Also Hands posted this little snippet about removing the old op amps. https://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/hacking-schiit.11261/page-6#post-367174

Schiit, I just completed an order with Mouser and forgot about this. If anyone has spare opamps they wanna get rid of, PM me.
