    I’m in IT — support Fire & PD. Small town & our forces have really been slammed by exposure/quarantine manpower shortages. They’re vaccinating everyone who supports them.

    I gave you a like, but not because you got sick. I get my second next week. Looking forward to the added protection. Not so much the getting sick part. First shot knocked my dork in the dirt for a couple of days.

  Comparing Auteur perf suede pads to Eikon perf suede pads on my Auteur. Subtle differences don't survive pad swap delay.

    I have the Universal Hybrid non-perf pads. These do change the sound. My other pads were Auteur perf lamb and Eikon perf lamb.

  Pad rings for HE-560s came — ZMF universe perf suede pads on 560s ++. Reduces V and brings mids (esp vocals) forward some — me likee!

  Got some alt suede perf pads for Auteur. Not a fan of Auteur w/ Universe perf suede, but like Auteur perf suede very much.

    Auteur perf suede produce more open, airy headstage w/ increased depth. Also recesses mids and boosts sub-bass a touch (vs stock Auteur perf lambskin).

    I realize pad rolling is a somewhat expensive and maddening obsession. I personally like the hybrid Universe with no-perf lambskin sides, and suede head surface. It retains bass texture despite my glasses.

    Turns out that the Pilot pad is greater/ Auteur! Now, do any of my other cans need the Co-Pilot pad?
    
    Nov 10, 2020

    Co-Pilot pad + HEKse = super comfort. Keeping both, sorry @dasman66 :)

    sigh... I guess I just have to buy one from Zach... I don't care for the pilot on my Eikon and want to replace it (my head greatly prefers the co-pilot on my Auteur)

  Shipping my RAD-0 out today. Recently purchased Heddphone is a better fit with my other cans

    I'm in the same boat. 3 really good Cavalli amps, 7 Cavalli amps total. Enough Hammy! I've promised myself that my next really good amp will be all tube. Patiently waiting for the Liquid Tungsten. Or an EC amp.

  Quick listen last night (A1 had been on about 4 hrs). Short answer is 'really close'. I'll say more once I've had time to really compare.

    Comparing with this chain:
    NUC-PC ==> SU-1 ==> A1 | A2 (both via S/PDIF) ==> Hattor passive preamp ==> DSHA-3F ==> Utopia
    All analog connections balanced
    Can switch between DACs w/ preamp remote

  A1 Gungnir Multibit arrived. I'll plug it in tonight and start comparing to A2 tomorrow night (give it a chance to warm up).

  Can you say obsessive? A1 Gungnir Multibit incoming to compare w/ A2 Gungnir Multibit. A2 Gungnir Multibit already drove out A2 Yggdrasil (couldn't justify $$$)

    To be clear, there was nothing ‘wrong’ with Yggdrasil. Just didn’t think it was significantly better — not enough to justify tying up an extra $1k. Lots of folks said if 2-channel, then worth it. I’m headphones only.

    What are you running as your headphone amp? I'm looking for a balanced source for the SuSy Dynalo and after reading your posts, am thinking the Yggdrasil may be overkill. I'm starting to think about finding a used A1 or A2 Gungnir Multibit instead.

  Don’t need those speakers! Really, just ‘cuz they’re a great deal — don’t need them. So what if they’d pair w/ H2go for killer office tunes.

  Hugo2go ==> Blackwood Auteur — Excellent headstage w/ lots of detail. Plenty of power — playing between ‘yellow’ and ‘green’.
