Hopefully folks here are also monitoring the AS PGGB thread, and caught ZB’s announcement of v6.1.42 that is 2-3x faster than 6.0.43? Here is the link: https://audiophilestyle.com/forums/topic/62699-a-toast-to-pggb-a-heady-brew-of-math-and-magic/?do=findComment&comment=1278091 Please also be...

Really bummed, I will have to miss the first CanJam in Texas. Ended up getting the flu last week, and I'm not fully recovered. Just cancelled my HE-1 audition slot (Sat 5:15) if someone wants to grab it. Have fun!

@Sennheiser you forgot: Monday - HE-1 You're welcome! 😂

It very much depends on the typical track duration of your music. ZB has a very helpful writeup and tables at this link: https://www.remastero.com/guide-256.html#SystemMoreMemory Bottom line: 32GB is just fine if most of your music is shorter duration tracks. However, once you decide to...

I recommend Jordi Savall’s Beethoven cycle. http://open.qobuz.com/album/vfgt2ve9hh4db http://open.qobuz.com/album/ezar6p1kkjdla These are historically informed, fresh, dynamic, and thoroughly enjoyable! And the sound quality of the Alia Vox recording is excellent.

I love London CanJams because you can also go see a BBC Proms concert (or 3!) in the evenings. https://www.royalalberthall.com/tickets/proms/bbc-proms-2023/ Mahler 3rd on the 19th sounds tempting!

My thoughts on the angled Alcantara earpads: https://audiophilestyle.com/ca/reviews/mini-review-meze-elite-angled-alcantara-ear-pads-r1205/

Quick question, @AxelCloris Since "net to me" verbiage is not allowed, how does one account for the additional fees the seller pays for international PayPal transfers? I know the easy answer is to restrict sales to the US only, but it would be nice to accommodate international buyers in a way...

Excellent buyer. Fast payment and a pleasure to deal with.

Yes, but purely for financial reasons!

In case anyone's interested, I have listed a Mjölnir-Audio Carbon CC in the classifieds.

In case anyone's interested, I have listed a Mjölnir-Audio Carbon CC in the classifieds.

Yes, it is. I asked Birgir to confirm, and his answer was: Yes, the switch is inside the amp, mounted to the back panel. Just slide it to 230V and it is all done. I added a closeup in the listing images to show this.

Added an internal photo to the listing.

@rthomas I’ll look into it. It’s mostly freeing up some time for it. I will point out that the unit is barely 6 months old, which Birgir can confirm. He’s aware I am selling it.

Selling my like-new Mjölnir Audio Carbon CC amp. It was purchased brand new from Birgir in September 2022, so has only seen a few 100s hours of use. I was planning to go all in on electrostatic headphones with the Carbon CC and the SR-X9000. However, I've now decided to simplify and consolidate...

Just an FYI for you guys. My review of the BHSE and Carbon CC: https://audiophilestyle.com/ca/reviews/electrostatic-headphone-amplifiers-review-mj%C3%B6lnir-audio-carbon-cc-and-headamp-blue-hawaii-special-edition-r1180/

Was 16FS a typo, and you meant 8FS? Because, as you noted, the maximum input rate for a Bartok is 352.8/384 kHz, i.e. 8FS.

For sure, give it a whirl. I think you'll be pleased. I was on the verge of ordering a hefty server, with a hefty price tag, when ZB suggested we could solve it in software. Now, my 128GB W10 desktop can tackle even my torture tracks, like 30+ min DSD and DXD files.

Thanks for whoever recommended Le Shrimp Ramen! To return the favor: highly recommend Christakis in Tustin. Get the rack of lamb!

Recommendations for foodie lunch and dinner spots in the area?

I booked last night, and can confirm the room block is sold out for Friday night, so had to book a different rate. I was able to get the CanJam rate for Saturday night.
