    Windows for Group Gropes... I built an office network with it... I even managed to run AutoCAD for dos in production under 3.21. It was certainly more predictable than later versions.

    That would be me. There is a certain elegance to a design that is perfectly mechanically balanced in speed, torque, etc. So what if it needs a nudge, you are up off the couch anyway... These things are fussy and fiddly in the extreme compared to Spotify. And that is exactly what some of us...

    I agree, that piano is a perfect match for the piece, and brings her aggressive style alive; musicians are all driven by something... Its not always pretty... I love the bright voicing of Bösendorfer pianos, almost chimy in the upper range; Really quite lovely. It looked like the action was...

    My grand vision for a diy project would be an extremely adaptable preamp/mixer. I'd love to use the B1 buffer, it is quite lovely... What I would really like is a few Nexus™ buffers to play with because some things I do are SE, and some are balanced, and my needs (okay, pie in the sky...

    tl/dr: Buy an Aegir instead unless you like playing with electronics!! BTW, Schiit does not make anything class D. I've built two complete Amp Camp Amps so far, the first in two monoblock cases, the second in a larger, single case. They aren't that hard to build, but that's coming from a 65...

    They picked the Heresy version based on measurements alone, just as they always do. I'm not 100% sure, but I think this is the first "good" review they've given to a Schiit product... Predictable...

    Jason, It has been a few days since your latest (hopefully) annual report. Great stuff!! The question about Loki didn't get many comments, so here goes: Loki Mini is clean and refined. Other than the convolutions of the physical filter, there is no distortion of the original waveform. This...

    That will actually make up for the people who order both, do a case swap because they like the new colors, and send back the leftovers...

    Good question! The wall wart for Magni Heresy is the same as for Magn 3: 14 volt ac, and the rectifiers, filters, regulators and such that make up a linear supply all live inside both Magni's. No switching supplies here. Fulla and Hel both use wall warts for power, but they are switching...

    The first pictures of Hel in the plastic case got to me somehow; The colors really are very appealing to me I think Alex is right.

    Jason, Magni 3 Heresy Edition is exactly what I have been hoping for: An opamp design with a linear power supply designed by one of the best in the business. Let the challenge begin!! I really want to see how this turns out!! And since Magni 3 Heresy Edition is the only way to get a black...

    If you haven't listened to hi-res over an ldac connection, you may be in for a surprise. Audiophile grade Bluetooth transmitters and receivers with s/pdif connections may not be completely out of the question... I wonder what Bluetooth 10 will look like...

    Thank you for reminding me. I remember him posting those very words. Some of the J5 build sheets on diyaudio mention the trim pot is an advanced feature, then they mention it would be helpful to have a Stanford if you really want to get it right. I guess that stuck, and Papa Nelson's advice...

    Thanks for that explanation. The more times I go over it, the more it makes some sense. The paradox I can't come to terms with just yet is the virtual ground that does not sink current, but measures at ground potential. Then the only remaining obvious sink is the feedback loop itself, so the...

    I did see that video, that is is what got me to finally start figuring out what is an opamp. It takes him forever to explain something, but you will never misunderstand for lack of detail and clarity. I'm still a little foggy on the seeming paradox of the virtual ground at the inverting input...

    Jason, I'm pleased to see these products released, I hope they do well for you. I was also pleased to see you (rightfully so) bragging about the quality of the opamps you used in Hel. And you did it right in front of a bunch of self-admitted audiophiles!! I decided to start studying just...

    Wow! That sounds good for (IMO) all the right reasons. It is a live take in a great sounding room with all analog gear. There are 2(!) Studer 2" tape machines running as well. Guitar players and keyboard artists are going to use reverb, but it sounds like the mixing engineer didn't go for...

    Thanks for the encouragement. I've picked out microphones I'd like to try, now to find the magical compromise mikes that don't cost four figures and still give 95% of the performance. I plan to try soundboard feeds, but more as an enhancement than the main mix. The rooms I might get a chance...

    Thanks for that! It always amazes me how they put so much into so few tracks. Tony really is a musical genius!!

    Thanks, my wife is after me to do the same thing. I'll manage without if I can, but nice to know that is an option. It's still a few days away and I can't know how I will feel then... pretty good now, so here's hoping.
