Tired: a four-tube headphone amp. Wired: a ten-tube headphone amp. Inspired: an ELEVEN-tube headphone amp. If it doesn't go to 11, no sale.

This made me chuckle, as I just bought a B stock Rag 2 the other night. If you need a used Rag 1 and no B stocks are available, keep an eye on the classified section!

Is anyone making well-regarded aftermarket pads for the Ananda? My experience with HFM pads is that these will not last long, so I like to have a backup plan... Thanks!

Know you guys are busy, and I hate to be "that guy," but it looks like a missing word in the first sentence of the Rag 2 description, and is the heading intended to be Nexus: One Stage to Rule Them or is it Rule Them All?

I'll second the recommendation for the Sundaras. I've been using them for about a month and like them a lot. I should probably sell my 400i, as they don't get use any more. I've also had the HE400 (original), HE6, and HE1000 and have been impressed with the sound and value offered by each...

earnmyturns, ease up. You and winders jumped down this guy's throat the instant he expressed a concern, there was no need for name calling and belittling him. Frankly, he looks a lot more reasonable and mature in this exchange. Why doesn't everyone just drop it so we can get back to an...

Not sure if folks saw this, looks like high praise: https://www.cnet.com/news/schiits-little-amplifier-punches-way-above-its-weight/

Google "nos." Literally the first hit...

I would think that a nitrous oxide DAC would have very quick attack and fast transients, but perhaps blow up if you drive it too hard...

Wow, Hegel claims that its designers understand transistors "at the atomic level," so it must be good. Excuse me while I go throw up in my mouth a little.

Random question: will Unison USB be incorporated throughout the product stack? Wondering if it will be part of Jot at some point. Considering consolidating my three mini boxes into one Jot with Multibit card...

Yeah, its the worst system, except for all the others. How you encourage innovation but also protect inventors is a tough question. People do get patents because they can be incredibly valuable. Nelson Pass, I believe, has a bunch of patented amp designs that he uses exclusively. Larger...

While I'm not a patent attorney, I do manage IP litigation for a multinational company in the tech/software field. I think what Jason means is that the costs in both money and time (which is often in even shorter supply) are very high if you want to purse patent infringement suits. Generally...

We shouldn't be top hard on Mike. After all, if the USB Forum were the ones to name it, we would have UBurrito 3, Deluxe UBurrito 3.1, UBurrito 3.2 Gen 1, UBurrito 3.2 Grande, and Double Layer UBurrito 3.2 Gen 2 with Sour Cream - all to do pretty much the same thing.

Wow, that was a remarkably high-minded resolution. I would probably not have been so kind and understanding. Well played.
