I would call SkyLab's post the 2nd greatest post ever.  SkyLab's is a LOT longer covering some 200 pages if I remeber.  But it was also portable amps right? not table top amps?  

I think you just did the comparison.  Interesting :D  

Quote: I agree.  If we can't shanghai David into doing this, whoever we wack over the head should use the same format and rating system as David used.

Good info in both posts Muppet.   Good info Radio...come on, you can tell me, you refinanced your house for an MSB didn't you :D   I would love to see one of these amps in person.  I haven't been really impressed with the pictures.  But, in terms of build quality, I am highly impressed...

Quote:   I must have missed that somewhere along the way.  I read pages 1-12 about a month ago but haven't covered the new stuff.  Would you say that it is the best amp on the market to run either the LCD-3's or HD800's?

He already has a good start on some of the best amps.  There should be a community round up...to send David their amp, for like a month, and pay shipping both ways.  This way David wouldn't have to pay and you could get like 50-60 amps reviewed with an awesome selection of cans.   DACs might...

Nah...im at about 500 hours now.  I would say the original rule of thumb is right....400 hours for full break in.  But I would say it was 80%-85% broken in at 200 hours.  Thats just a gut feeling though...not measured.  

Any word on the LF MKII?

From what I've read, the Liquid Gold is the greatest headphone amp ever; crushing everything that came before it.  But the 6k price tag is crazy.  So, I'm wondering.  Do the components of the Liquid Gold justify the cost of the amp, or is it Cavalli's engineering genius you are paying for?

This is still the best post, ever, on Head-Fi.  I would LOVE to see something just like this on Amps and DACs. 

Is it still 20 posts and 1 month of membership as of June 2013?

Schiit BiFrost...Big and Tall tenderfeet....super sonic stabalizers...good combo im breaking in right now.  150-200 ish hours on my BiFrost.  

I use tenderfeet under my DAC and 4 inch maple block.  I can vouch for them...they are an upgrade.  I use something different under my WA6 tube amp....it is custom.  I might use my custom mod under my DAC in the future but I am doing some critical listening to my tube amp right now and don't...

I have been using the black hole to watch some DVD's.  It seems that I am getting a "soap opera effect" or the 48fps effect from the new released format of the hobbit...if you saw that.  I don't see how that is possible as the black hole doesn't add frames.  Anyone else notice this?  

Just so you guys know...there is an option for a fuse inside of the power strip now.
