I know that engine anywhere. It’s the modified BMW S70 V12 that powers the McLaren F1 but was originally from the BMW 850CSi. Still my favorite car and engine and all without a supercharger.

We’ve just found the luckiest man alive. Glad you enjoy your current system so much. :)

Friends don’t let friends drink and design turntables.

I politely hope you're completely wrong. Also, Jason has said he hates Class D with a passion many times. Schiit, in my humble opinion, has nothing to gain from Class D. All of their amps are superior in every way.

RIP Walter. Aja was one of my first vinyl albums. And still one of my most favorite from beginning to end. I raise my glass and cans to Walter tonight. Let the music play on.

Sennheiser HEV 90. But honestly that's it.

For your headphone collection I'd definitely consider Lyr 2. It'll still give you 660mW for the HD 600 and 4W for the majority of plannars. Valhalla 2 does 800mW for HD 600 and only 180mW for the majority of plannars. Vali 2 could be a really good option if you want to keep cost down and still...

Do you mean most of your headphones are plannar magnetic? If so, yes Valhalla 2 can drive them better than other OTL tube amps but it wouldn't be my first choice. It's primary goal is driving HIGH impedance headphones, everything above 100 ohms or more. Also, every tubey, dreamy, or euphonic...

I hope they're reading this so they can come back and do a good thread cleanup. Didn't head-fi (way back) have a no double blind discussion rule? Also, someone get Tyll over here to measure say a new HD600. Use it for a month and then measure again. Then maybe we can stop talking about burn-in...

I didn't mean to imply you or your question, Purehifi. Sorry for the confusion.

I figured as much. I just like skipping the setup nervousa by letting someone else do the work. :)

The best part is burn-in champions don't realize products are tested for several hours if not days at the manufacturers. Do you really need to leave it on even more hours not enjoying it?

@Baldr Will Sol come with or have an option for phono cartridge pre-installed, a la Rega/Pro-Ject, or just cartridge-less?

That just reads like so much pseudo-science. I'm hoping I'm just missing the sarcasm via text.

And Jason regrets posting about it already.

What about Jot with powered Audioengine desktop speakers? Pair them and call it a day.

What is this madness?! I'm so happy for this. The wall wart is dead! Long live the floor wart er . . . Cthulu!

*looks at all the speaker/2 channel info* *looks at my HD 650* *looks back at all the speaker/2 channel info* *puts on the HD 650 and queues the music* In all honesty though, I'm intrigued by 2 channel but man just putting on my headphones seems a LOT easier. Specially when you look at...

Hey some of us are young with that kit. We thank Schiit too! So hype right now.

Maybe I'm the Debbi Downer but at $200-250 I'm not interested in a desktop amp. I'd just use my Valhalla 2 and HD 650. $150 I'm interested but I'm betting wattage would be down quite a bit. That means you'd most likely need high efficiency speakers. Which I'm totally into but you know the...

So my original tubes are finally giving up the ghost. Anyone care to PM with trusted tube sellers, please?

Jason Stoddard everything about this most recent chapter is EXACTLY why I wanted a Schiit 2 channel system. as for the remote. Which I honestly wasn't expecting. I say stick to the cheaper remote but sell a fancier, aluminum remote as a side item. And I know we're just talking preamps now...

What scares me about cleaners is the potential for label damage. Is it a concern or am I just worrying too much?

If I have to pick, it's Physical Graffiti. Kashmir alone makes that album worth so much audio enjoyment.

Remember what the dormouse said, "feed your head!"
