The KGSS gets pretty hot and I wouldn't advise stacking any components on it.  I was in your same situation before and I got the O2s first and then the KGSS after.  I used a SRM-313 to power my O2 and still enjoyed them.  It wasn't until hearing them out of a KGSS that I felt I really had to...

immtbiker: that's a great touch to have the blue hawaii match the color of your bike! (an it being a nice blue finish too which works well with the name)  As usual with Kerry's work, it looks and I'm sure sounds awesome!  You've got a great collection of gear and I would need a daily dose of...

immbiker: that's a lot of beautiful gear!  I love the paint finish on the Blue Hawaii!   Here's my headphone setup.    Northstar M192MKII => Headamp HGSS => O2 / SPL Auditor => Sennheiser HD650

Hi wavoman,   I can't wait to hear it back to back between WEE and SRD-7.  Let me know if Kerry can't bring his pair of SR-404, I can bring mine to do the comparison at the meet.   Quote:

jinnh: my DI doesn't vibrate at all when it is on.  That is odd that yours is vibrating, maybe shoot Edwin or Kingwa an email about that since it doesn't appear to be normal.

Pacha, there shouldn't be a need for a driver for the DI on W7..  I plugged mine into the USB and it recognized it as a Tenor SPDIF or something interface and I was up to running. i've been using it for a few days and have no issues at all.   

Thanks for the reply Dynobot.  I agree that I prefer non-upsampled from the DI as I'm using it mainly as a USB->SPDIF device.  I am interested in hearing how it sounds, and like you said, I'll have to decide for myself which holds true in this hobby.  I'll give it a try when I have some free time. 

I just received mine at the office!  I feel like its going to be a long day...    I guess I need to find some feet to put under the unit.  Does it scratch up things pretty easily?

Thanks for sharing your impressions Arnaud!  Thats great news that they are releasing another amp but from your conversations, it seems like it will be a ways after the new STAX TOTL.     Any impressions of the goodies your heard?

I got my shipping confirmation last night too.  So hopefully it will arrive by the end of next week.  I don't know whats worse, waiting for it to ship and not knowing when its on its way, or knowing its on its way and not knowing when it will be here.. haha   Quote:

That looks like a really solid unit!  What amp will you be using to drive the WEE from Jodet?

ARGHHH..  Anybody else in the Cablevision and NewsCorp (FOX) battle and blacked out from watching the World Series on TV?  

Just had myself a Harpoon Munich Dark.  I always like having a selection of beers I bought the good ol' Harpoon variety pack.  This is the first one I had tonight.  Nice malty chocolate flavor thats not too over powering.
