I just sold my A2 yesterday :(

Open to D/S also. Then I can try out Schiits upgrade program!

A1 would be the preference but not required

Would the GSX-mini pair better with the A1 or A2 Gungnir...I have gone ahead and read too much about this DAC to know which one would pair better?!

So, sounds like there is a deal to be made here... let’s work it out!

I just PMed Mr.Sneis to find out if the headphone is still available. The game is afoot. The plan is in motion.

I love it when a plan comes together. Imma getting a PMx2 <happy dance>. Now to get rid of my PM2. They're a headphone that deserves to be torn apart and modded to make better.

Honestly feel guilty to have snagged these from you for $300...feel like I should have at least paid several hundred more dollars for a headphone that sounds this good...guess I'll post some impressions here when the honeymoon period wears off a bit and I can think about the sound in a bit more of a critical vein

I was happy to pass along the deal that was presented to me a few months ago by @tommytakis . Same rules apply for you, keep it on SBAF or beware an "icey" chill! ;-)

Don't temp me with that garbage... I am tempted by shit like this

I don't expect Jot 2 to be competitive with Freya S as a preamp. After living with Freya S, it would be hard to trade the stepped attenuator for a pot, no matter how good. But if you only have a desktop rig and it would simplify your setup, definitely worth considering. The output switching is a nice bonus too.

Saga+ was a big improvement over my GLMK2, which i preferred over original Jot. The Freya S with more steps and no tube nervosa was another step in the right direction. I gues the better comparison would be Jot 2 vs GLMK2

isn't it a common thing for HE6 owners to use speaker taps? I know some owners did that with their Rag 1 so I'm sure same thing applies w/ Rag 2?

Not really the same, but I like using my HD580 w/ speaker taps off of my Elekit LOL feels more grippy in the bass/macrodyna and better clarity maybe?

Im running Freya/Vidar setup now with HE6, but it does not lend itself to other headphones. I wonder if the Rag 2 can retain some of that speaker magic and control other headphones too!

I don't own Rag 2, but if I recall correctly Jason designed it to deliver full speaker power output to the balanced headphone jack. So you certainly could run the HE6 from the speaker taps, but I'm not sure how much benefit you would see.

Keith, you are most welcome! I am loving the silver Freya S you traded to me! Looks awesome on top of my Gungnir Multibit!

You should still try the JAR650 if u get a chance, I personally like it slightly more than the JAR600. Also please try to keep it within SBAF if you end up listing it in the future, Enjoy! :)

Thanks again and yes...I am going to keep the post open for a JAR650 and change my preference in the loaner tour to 650 as well. I know they are popular around here and will keep it in the rotation if I do sell.

I always miss deals like this. I'm in the market for the JAR600 if you ever thought of letting them go.

The stock cable is so bad though.

Why don't you recommend the detachable cable mod?

The stock cable makes no sense, good cable... way too heavy. At most could be four conductor.

The cascade cable could not be any lighter and are a great match for the headphone!

I’ve heard oddities with other Foo Fighters albums as well. Distortion in channels, guitars flipping sides briefly, really weird mixing mistakes. It was only on Tidal but Yourube version and Google Play music were fine.

I have been noticing a lot of poor recording quality on tidal lately and frankly it is disappointing. I tried youtube, GPM, and Apple music, each service had the same distortion/buzz...just more noticeable in Tidal.

Dammit, that can't be unheard. I have the CD and it's there as well.

Anyone know what happened with Community? I remember watching it years ago, there was a huge change in script writing after the first season.

Happened with Parks and Rec too...lots of normal characters season 1 who became much more defined and exaggerated in the following seasons (not that it was a bad thing)...but ended to soon as well.

Also Glover decided to get out because he had other projects/invitations and the same with Chase and the other, that I don't remember the name. Also there was the rumors of production disagreements. It's a shame because i think it easily could've gotten 2 more seasons out of it.

A deep rabbit hole indeed. I have been exploring the same when too lazy to make my own since flour was scarce. I like the thinner varieties like Home Run and Screamin Sicilian and when I want slightly healthier Newmans and Amy's but appreciate the doughy kinds too.

Where was this mentioned?

I am using the Suede E2 pads on my HE6, the pads work well for me and are easy to swap!

Never got a chance to try ZMF hybrid pads myself. Auteur Solid LS is what I run on mine. Just depends on what sound you're going for and what (if any) mods you've got installed.

I removed the back plate and added the rug liner... The ori pads add a bit more tonal richness over the auteur LS. I have ether 2 pads to try as well, but first I need to get a good handle on the zmfs. BE2s are going to go though.
