Boy, you sure have long days in Chicago!

In this case I am going for 300 hours since I (at least) am not in a hurry, and many people have indicated that the D1 needs that long.

I am just glad your days are so long so that you can do all that you do and still have time for these reviews. Thanks.

How do you join team Skylab, LOL?
No worries whatsoever. I am breaking in 3 amps simultaneously right now

I wrote a full review of the Lisa III prototype; I have commented that the production version sounds identical. FWIW/JMO.

I was only joking about my demands if someone didn't get that, skylab do whatever you want and take whatever time you need.

I do have a more serious question though, what do you think of this amp from Leckerton Audio just out from the specs? I find it quite impressive considering the size, casing, parts used, rechargeable circuit/batteries and of course the price (similar to the total bithrad) but it seems there is no interest in it. A bit confusing when there is such an overwhelming interest in DAC/Amp combos lately, I know nobody heard of leckerton audio before and I am a newb but no I don't work for them. Someone did accuse me in another thread eventhough I never said anything about the sound quality.

Good question! I just saw that amp (on EBay) for the first time ever yesterday. Anyone else seen/heard one?

You want to contact them and get a unit for evaluation/review. You have a reputation for reviewing headamps, I don't see any reasons why they won't let you review it unless it is below par.

Man, what an amazing thread! Skylab, you're my new hero!

Does anyone know if one can still purchase a Larocca PRII? Based on the reviews here and elsewhere I think I need to try one.

Thanks! It's really best to try to get a PRII used. Larocco Audio is VERY flakey.

I hope there is some humor in this post, otherwise it is downright nasty.

dw6928, I do not see the point of your remark. I hope you read the whole context of the matter before making the comment. Ampjoy made a reading mistake or misinterpretated another thread about the period skylab has the D1 in his posession, so I corrected him and made fun about his mistake. He acknowledged his mistake, felt embarassed and even made fun of himself so I assume he took it quite well. The atmosphere in this thread is quite good since I posted the comment, other people making jokes of their own about time machines, skylab's being inaccurate with his calculations, Dr. Who (which I didn't get) etc... I do not have the feeling that anyone is offended, I apologize if ampjoy feels offended and maybe I should have put a smiley in the end of my remark. In conclusion I do not see a problem and the matter does not even concern you so I really do not see your point.

PS: ampjoy, several posts above your first post skylab stated that he hasn't received the amp yet, then suddenly you were talking about 300 hours out from nowhere . So I thought you were high or something while writing the post, therefore my remark. I understood later that you read it from another thread.

fair enough, I am properly chastised.
post #1200 of 3234
lol, your choice of vocabulary made me feel like my 4th grade teacher to whom I owe my first teacher's punishment in form of an ass whooping by a blackboard ruler. That day she taught me a new word as well: chastise, funny how I tend not to forget when pain is involved.

If she does it to a 10-11 years old child nowadays the kid would simply pick his cellphone, call his lawyer and sue her.
