  Can't stop, won't stop - binging X-Files and listening to Rush discography for the past couple weeks. Must be some kind of "comfort-crisis".

  ECP DSHA3 is way out of budget, so wait for new Schiit balanced amp, Headamp GSX mini, or used Auralic Taurus MKII? The schiity wildcard...

    Agree on the Phonitor. I have the XE and have tried to convince myself to downgrade several times to no avail.

    Phonitor is better than all of the above except DSHA 3 or 3F.

    If that's the best i can do for a balanced SS amp in that price tier, then will strongly consider the Phonitor E. Does "not a truly balanced design" have meaningful consequences? Feeding from Gungnir Multibit. Scouring the threads...

    One of my best friends (we went to Tool together \m/!!!) went to their last concert in NL. He keeps bringing it up. That concert was so wild even an mosh-pit veteran like him went: "not joining in this time..." I wish I could have been there.

  Sad to read how great the ECP DSHA3F is with the Auteur...any SS amp significantly better than Lyr 3 in the $1.5K range? Future planning...

    Not that I'm unhappy with Lyr 3, but want to know which SS amp (no tube rolling) would be considered by those more knowledgable to be an appreciable upgrade for the money and not side-grade for can like Auteur. BW mentioned, any others?

    BW has a bit better slam and more pleasing/organic tone. And has solid synergies with zmf dynamics (eikon, atti, aeo, atr). But still think lyr 3 is a tad more transparent -- resolving more accurate volume gradations and micro-details in less biased ways. So maybe not a clear upgrade.

    Do you know what is really ironic? You have iron and you must describe it. Iron-like does not sound right. Iron-y though sounds like iron that can rust. Now that is literally iron-y. (Yes, I like word jokes. They are so wordy...)

    I remember installing an add-on for Facebook that deleted all comments, posts, and likes I had made between dates of my choice (aka when I was a teen), and thinking it was hilarious that I trusted the sketchy third party add-on more than I did Facebook's advertising practices and partners.

    For years I thought I'd love to learn to play an instrument. I thought It was only a matter of time.
    Nope. I like to listen, that's enough. For people like Quincy, they have to compose/play. It's not a choice. I gotta see that one.

    You gotta watch those Stewart Copeland written tunes. I think that is why he got along so well with Claypool in the Oysterhead project.
