  Dumb question but I really don't know: what does the "Pyrate" badge here mean?

  Decided on the MIB, so got my A2 and LIM boards for sale. Also a Gen 5 USB if anyone's still up for that.

    Don’t you want to keep one to swap case you get tired of the MIB?

    I’ll write that more detailed report later. Better for me to not have anything to swap around, merely having the option can distract me. Having gone back from MIB to LIM, it hit me that MIB > LIM in so many ways that the slight drop in timbre pays out copiously.

    I might do this, so I am curious your thoughts on MIB vs A2. I look forward to sour write up.

  Choosing between LIM and MIB is a real exercise in pairing. Different between tubes & solid state.

    Currently, other way around for me. LIM with Eufonika H7 lacks dynamics. MIB with ß22 lacks engagement. All relative, of course. Looking for that balance...

    I forget, but did you have the BF2/64 before with the H7 and enjoyed that pairing?
    
    Jul 5, 2024
  5. roderickvd
    Yes, had that and enjoyed it except for some treble harshness.

  Dual-mono ß22 build finished! Just a weird ground loop issue *only* when using an official Beyer XLR-4 cable.

  The sax intro to "Stopover - Life" by Moonrise may be the biggest wow moment on my LIM to date

    €2200 plus some for shipping, good as new. Saw the listing 5 hours after it was put up (I had set an email alert) and did not hesitate.
