I feel like I play sloppy seconds on this BB. Yggdrasil to T3 to HD600 all bought used is immensely satisfying. Thanks SBAF! Oct 16, 2019 at 4:33 PM

    Nothing worse than buying a used piece of gear you are excited for and is not at all what you are looking for. SBAF has saves us all (hopefully) from going down the wrong path.

    and maybe a word to recent newcomers: it GREATLY behooves you to go read old impressions threads start to finish. I've spent so much time digging around in "old" threads to find triangulating impressions that minimizes the inevitable side-grade/meh.

    VU meters why? Was the original idea simply to know that the level was not too high? But they don't really do much useful. And if an amp must have them they should be the original mechanical sort, not an electronic act.
    
    This is the sort of thing that makes me prefer speaker porn. Amp porn tends to be more audio bling.

    nagging maintenance keeps it from being a daily driver, or even a weekend fun machine - but a couple songs here and there turn into entire albums despite the need for some setup tuning

  ok, this is gonna sound like nitpicking, but difference b/w Yggdrasil and Airist: vocal layering. Yggdrasil presents (to me) better integration.

    E.g., new Tycho track "For How Long": Yggdrasil seems to present more how i'd expect the original mastering engineer wanted the multitracked vocals to sound, Airist presents more disjointed but one may see it as "increased delineation" between the independent vocal tracks. One could guess which presentation I prefer.

    Digging this up for fun: as an experiment I left HD600 + Magni 2U out at the ranch house. Wonder how long relatives notice a pair of "fancy" headphones and a cheap amp sitting on the shelf - my hope being someone puts them on for shits and giggles, and is rewarded with a late night of, "just one more song". Uncle Jon, I'm looking at you...

    Not having good speakers and/or not affording large (volume-wise) rooms typically make people hysteric about placements.. from my experience lol.

    Once upon a time everything needed to warm up. You could forget you'd turned stuff on by the time noise came out of it.
    
    Maybe this is why people think that warm-up is cute. Old fashioned.
