very smooth transaction with biglebowski and also a nice guy. Would happily transact with (buying or selling) again!

I also mentioned awhile back in the Discord group that I'd be bringing my Bravura and LCD-i4

I just yesterday bought an apple to lightning adapter to use with my 15 Pro Max and it works as others have said. EQ is in effect, but app does not work. Here's info from Audeze's web site - Audeze Support

Placebo effect is real, so no reason for you to not to actually enjoy the 3.5mm more!

Selling my ZMF Verite Open in Zircote LTD with brass rods and grill. I am the first owner and purchased these when they were first released in 2019. These do not have the magnesium chassis since that was not an option then. Comes with original XLR cable, original pairs of pads, seahorse case...

Go back a few pages on this thread and you'll see some discussion on tubes. My current tube complement is RCA 5U4GB, Elrog 845, 1960s Melz 1578 for 6sn7, and 1970s Voskhod 6N1P-EV.

It's seems to be a very solid choice and I believe the Bliss was designed with the Susvara in mind. I've never used one myself, but plenty have heard an/or owned. Do a bit of searching in this thread and I'm sure you'll find plenty of information.

Sounds like a few different things going on here. For one, there is the hedonic treadmill. As we gain a higher level of satisfaction with something, as humans we essentially make that our baseline and then resume our chasing the the next level. There is the cliche saying about the journey and...

This will depend on the individual as much as anything. There is a saying - success is getting what you want; happiness is liking what you get. This may also be highly dependent on what type of music you like and your musical preference (e.g. if you are a bass head or are primarily into EDM...

Ha, looks like you've put together a very nice setup with some great HPs since we met. Glad to see you're trying out and enjoying Susvara. Many of us would describe Susvara as a fantastic all-rounder, doing so much incredibly well, even if it's not the best in any specific area. It doesn't...

Nice! Do you still have your Susvara? Definitely give that a try. The Egoista is one of the few tube HP amps that can drive it well. It's the most powerful SET HP amp I know of.

Wow, how have I never discovered this thread before?!? Here's some older pics I have, but this thread has inspired me go to take some better pictures!

I just stumbled onto your other thread where you were considering many other TOL tube amps before you ultimately decided on thie Egoista. Which other ones did you listen to, how did they compare, and why did you ultimately go with the Eogista?

Congrats! Nice to have more owners here. Keep us posted on your experience. Also, once you start rolling tubes, that will take it to another level. But definitely enjoy what you have and you'll appreciate upgrades that much more.

Just a bit of a follow up after having spent a bit more time with this amp and more variety of music. I continue to be very impressed. My initial comments about this being a warm amp aren't quite right. It's definitely not cold at all, but it's ability to produce more bass out of the Susvara...
