If there's something that you absolutely want to hear, it'll be worth it.

Problem is I'm not looking to buy anything Schiit right now so it will be a long trip to just "look around". I've heard most of their DACs (and have Yggdrasil) but am not nearly as familiar with sound of most of their amps.

Plan a trip to Six Flags and then the Schiitr afterwards!

I've played hundreds of hours of Witcher games, and the first time Cavill said "C'mon Roach" I got chills. He did an incredible job.

Have to play the game now. Maybe right now.

As a work-at-home freelancer, I find truth in all of this.

ooga ben frumpz.

Still listening 5.5 hours later... oops.

I need to get a temperature probe next to mine, 14 hours two days in a row.
Strategy games on mute and Stellaris is my guilty pleasure.

You should play stellaris while listening to your stellaris: https://store.steampowered.com/app/281990/Stellaris/

There's probably going to be a super 200W Aegir in the future. It won't be cheap though. Vidar in monoblock is considerably better than a single one. Incredible grip, superb slam and transients. It's a beast.

If you have concerns for heat dissipation, you can cook eggs on the Amp Camp Amp - not the best for keeping cool.

I’m listening first time to stock HE6SE (no grills) + OG Saga + Vidar and it is very impressive. Especially considering the excellent prices on the used market.

Also I kinda suspect low thd spec may disservice. I don’t know recent phonitors much though. To me 6se with richer harmonics has more synergy. Auteur less depend on such traits.

You read my mind. After phonitor yesterday I'm looking at first watt as an option now... except I still want an ss amp that works with other headphones and isn't a large space heater.

I hear you about the midrange, not as robust as the HD650. Better bass you'll have to get a different amp. It'll tighten it up and remove much of the "slappiness" (which is what I heard from a single Vidar too). Swapping pads will make a difference, not as much as the amp IMO.

If it's not the savings, the best upgrade is a bottle of alcohol.

Find a good deal on the Af and tubes. cough cough...

Unexpected free time today - 1 hour with Phonitor X (with Aurender A10) - if 3F with Gungnir at meet was 90/91ish to me, then (used) Phonitor X at this place was about 89... but for 2/3 of the cost.

Af is about 95/96 to me, Stellaris is 98ish.

If one has to get flu, at least it should be a decent grade!

Seriously, though... sympathy. Have spent the last few days with a /slight/ fever. More than enough to take the shine off life.

eat the good stuff or starve the flu, get well.

get well soon. telling when favorite activities including audio are not enjoyable. virus this year are particularly annoying.

Anyone asking protection fees against the trolls?

Yes but I paid them off in asr-fi gear

Most were deliberately a little too spelled out and long to help establish my baseline for others. Of course I will be happy to clarify or spell anything out as needed.

If part of your trip includes Dublin, definitely recommend visiting the Guinness brewery. Fantastic beer AND food.

um. you should have stopped at beer.

You don't have to piss everyone off. Just one fragile ego will do.

... or 2,3,4,5,6,7,8...

I believe @ultrabike was responsible for some of the funniest ones. Be careful what you wish for...

Did you pass or fail?
