    that’s a lot of clams for a headphone amp, especially one that would be difficult to repair if borked. I think today’s entry level amps approach that sound for much less money. I passed on a crimson for $1000.

    Cautionary tale: I found my unicorn (T4) and it arrived busted. @TomB has been amazing but 3 months later we are still going. Complete rebuild with custom transformers from Lundahl etc. $$$. I should have spent the money on a Corolla.

    If @TomB didn’t step back into the game to help me out I would have been left with a very attractive paperweight.

    I was as surprised as anyone that America belatedly honored William Rufus King with a national holiday, but he did help draft the Compromise of 1850 which delayed the Civil War by a decade.

  Happy holidays to everyone. Don't forget to put on a fire, power on your tube amp and do so comfy and relaxing listening!

    Pizza impressions better be detailed. Can you make a satanic hexagon comparing chew, crust, cheese,toppings, spices, and authenticity to other well know pizzerias?
