Cottage inn is okay. I stick to a couple of local places for the most part when we do get pizza in our house. Occasionally we do Buddy's, which is fantastic.

It's been a while since I had Jets or Cottage...perhaps things changed after Covid? I also haven't had really good pizza from the Chicago chains.

Some non-deep dish pizzas to try while you're in Chicago: Bonci (Roman). Piece (New Haven), Boiler Room (NY). But yeah, Pequod's is my favorite Chicago deep dish.

Never tried Pequod; I will have to try it sometimes.

I kind of agree. It's good, but I personally prefer my Mjolnir Carbon. That said, the Eksonic T2 totally blew my mind. I definitey plan to revisit it in Chicago if @Kerry brings it again (fingers crossed)

We'll be there with the Aeras and T2

Try Ricobene's breaded steak sandwich.

Vito & Nick's Pizzeria - thin crust and old bar setting - make sure to get Old Style beer with your food for an original Chicago experience, also about a 30 min drive from the hotel

Mario's Italian Lemonade - Italian ice walk up

One of the places I go right downtown is Pizzeria Due on Wabash Ave.

Damn I must be so jaded at this point because I heard that same system and it was a "meh" experience.


how about the original Cottage Inn?

As an owner of both Carbon and BHSE for long History, I can ganrantee they are not on the same level.

Carbon sounds so hollow when watching movies and videos. It is not organic sounding, and built not sturdy. If the high and low extension are what are you chasing for, a power cable of Black PAC from JPS can equip BHSE with the same if not better extension at both ends.
R2R dacs like Mojo Mystique X SE and Rockna could also give BHSE the slam and definition. Its laid back tuning suits for broader combination for dacs, cables and tubes.

I personally prefer the Carbon (have it, and tested the BHSE extensively). But I suspect synergies and specific chain are key. I pair up the Carbon with the Bricasti M3 which works for a great matching

Nice pairing the Bricadti M3 is anologue warm sounding which will be good pair to the analyticality of Carbon. I will welcome you to demo my system if you come to NY to hear how good could BHSE be
