If only I could use the capsules! I only have a Keurig machine, or I just use a French press and grind my own coffee. I’m think I’ll give the illy Intenso a try though the next time I’m getting coffee. Now using a French Press for Italian coffee…sounds kind of sacrilegious?

I want to share my 2 cents here regarding Tomas and his work/build quality. I know everyone is entitled to how they feel and have their own experience relative to their specific amp. And of course, I can only speak on my own experience with the Oblivion. I want to be absolutely clear that...

Thank you. Yes, it's just one less thing to worry about, and i'm happy that everything is in total working order. Coincidentally, I was just looking at Maxx134's HD800 mods thread. I'm intend on picking up an HD8-- series set of cans, I'm thinking it will go pretty freaking well with the...

lol. no you can find those at your local grocery store. well at least here in new jersey food stores..... there is always amazon too!

Nice! I enjoy the Seattle's Best 6th Ave. Bistro and the Portside Blend, my favorites in that brand. You know, I've been meaning to try illy. I've always been on the Lavazza side as far as the Italian coffees go.

Oblivion is back from the repair shop! A few connections needed to be resoldered and strengthened towards the front plate that came loose (he suspects probably due to the rough shipping treatment). All pots and switches were cleaned up and working smooth and noise free. My LED light that was...

This is actually an interesting thing, coffee and music pairing. Personally, there are mornings where relaxing isn't going to cut it to start my day where it warrants a pairing as: https://www.deathwishcoffee.com/ + System of a down / Slipknot / Rammstein kind of morning. (sadly, the...

FTFY. :beyersmile: Senns are already a nice pair of cans. HD6-- series will still be around long after we are gone one day...

What headphones you rockin' with these days on the Darkvoice?

Well from my own experience, speaking for myself only, I preferred the Gungnir MB A1 over the Yggdrasil A1 in tonality. Just depends on the sound you’re after though.

I miss the Tung Sol / Graphites. That tube has such a sweet tone!

A friend and I were talking about good wine in a box, and it was also brought to my attention that wine in pouches and wine in a can are also a thing now! Choices!

I get what you’re saying but I don’t ever underestimate Jason, Mike and Co. about what amazeballz things they can accomplish. Myself, coming from hating about 97% of ESS implementations, I’ve come to respect what Schiit is able to do with it and on their lower end stuff no less. Mike is a...

I consider that great news that the fixes were easy enough and successfully repaired! My amp is at the tech right now and I am expecting something similar in terms of needing the wiring and connections re-soldered and reinforced (being that I have had to press on the top plate or tap the amp a...

I'm glad. I didn't want to say anything to jinx you, but for me, these tubes were always hidden gems/underrated in the grand scheme of the 12AT7 family. I found these to be really superior tubes and tried to hoard acquire these when I could find them. My favorites were the Toshiba branded...

Brimars are cream of the crop when it comes to that sweet mid-range with nice staging and details. Cannot go wrong with these!

So have the Matsu-Mullards successfully passed the 15 minute test? :beyersmile:

Patrick is an excellent buyer and a very valued HF and audio community member. Stellar communication, prompt payments and smooth transactions all the time! Always a pleasure to do business with! Thank you as always!

Looking forward to hearing your impressions here vs the 6DJ8 tubes. Just be careful with the gain! Happy listening!

I am in the camp of not minding the bright light at all. I've always been a sucker for the LED lights, just as I've always been a sucker for the tube glow. So I never minded any of the bright lights (as per usual for Schiit gear). I think the fan underneath is pretty cool (no pun intended)...

Lol. I've been testing this out, and mine definitely dims after a period of time, so this is either one helluva mod that was done on this light, or its dying inside a bit. I asked because I remembered that a few owners here questioned at how white and bright the light was, and efforts to...

Excellent seller! Great communication and prompt shipping! A trusted seller and would do business with again anytime. Many thanks!

I have a question for Oblivion owners out there. As I am trying to figure out the quirks with the amp, and trying to ascertain what is normal and what isn't - this could be rather strange question about the LED light (power indicator). So when you flip the switch on, the light is bright as...

Paul is great to work with. Excellent buyer, great communication and a smooth transaction! Is a pleasure to deal with, thank you!
