I have mine stacked. Bifrost2 on Bottom, Lokius middle, Jot2 on top. Just took them out of the boxes and stacked them. No special precautions, no problems :). YMMV

Can confirm, I have the same stack in same configuration and no problems.

Does our measurement oriented "reviewer" have a device that can measure whether something sounds like ass?
Science explains the world, but only Art can reconcile us to it.

Sorry I spent a lot of yesterday rereading some Stanislaw Lem. One should be able to watch football with the sound turned down and I am always looking for something else to do.

Listening to Geneva by the Yellowjackets, I prefer the Gumby with the addition of some quality tubes in a headphone amp. This morn it is mostly 1953-63 with a promising tube from 1986 included.

Church organs; ultra-high-end audio and wattage wars before ultra-high-end audio and wattage wars were a thing.

When designed well, these things can make any staunch atheist see the face of god. And that's coming from a staunch atheist who grew up just a stone's throw away from some of the greatest organs on the planet.

So…

We used to say in the Navy: DC will fuse your smoking body to the buss bar. AC will toss you across the deck in a fireball.
It's the frequency, Kenneth. :)

-edit- I have a 6-inch long scar from my right elbow to the top of my forearm where a 900V multi-farad transmitter capacitor decided my arm was the best path for discharge. Fortunately for me my elbow was grounded when I brushed the terminal or I likely would not be here to tell the tale.
This is still the piece of gear I bought at work that cracks me up the most.

So true! There's rock concert bass and there's audio system bass and then there's pipe organ bass. Some may find this amusing coming from me, but the main (Aeolian) organ in Duke University's "chapel" is beyond awesome with over 100 32' pipes, and when an organist decides to open those things up it's truly a religious experience. :laughing: The acoustics and reverb of a stone and wood interior with a 63' high ceiling helps, I think.

100%.

Audio system bass: a punch in the face
Rock concert bass: a punch in the gut
Pipe organ bass: a warm and loving embrace that simultaneously rearranges all your innards and shreds your lungs from the inside out
(That's why they call these instruments "organs", true fact!)

I do find that amusing coming from you but love the architecture and no doubt the organ is awesome. :beerchug:

I didn't know Marilyn Manson did some songs for pipe organ accompaniment?
