Yggy is now 10 days 19 hours 22 minutes and 45 seconds old. It's a very rich, organic and sparkly tone now. It's relax and electrifying at the same time. Finally HD800 has met the right DAC and tube amp. I would never have imagine that HD800 can be so euphonic. I thought HD800 would be lean, analytical, clinical and ear piercing. Instead I get texture laden, bass throbbing and 3D inducing sonics. The very definition of a TOTL headphone. So much so, my memory of Focal Utopia has faded.

The next thing to do is to get a replacement cable for HD800 and join the soup kitchen.

All very good reasons PCT, I applaud your reasoning, and just to show you I appreciate your judgement, I offer up an oldie for you.

I have one other option. Hire a singer to sing for me every night.

Summertime has long been one of my favorite songs and there are so many wonderful recordings of it. The Kenny G version is right at the top. Even though I've been involved in audio for now almost 50 years, one of the thing I'm realizing or rediscovering, is that with a crystal clear Euforia based system how much variation there is in recordings. I don't know anything about the bit-rate of YouTube or its resolution, but this recording from YouTube is stunning. Far more enjoyable that a lot of what I can find on Tidal HD, although with good recordings Tidal will certainly out-do YouTube. But the quality of the recording is so important.

UT's comment about hiring a singer every night has given me an idea. I'm going to look into making recordings on my own PC so I can build a library of my own melodious voice, and then I can listen to myself every night.

The wind is stirring things up outside and I put my EL11STs/EL12STs in. I can't stop listening. Just sayin'

I know what you mean it's 1:30 in the morning and I just keep moving from one song to the next. Life is ebbing away one song at a time.

I saw your post when I woke up this morning. I fell asleep last night listening. Yes our life is ebbing away. But I remember what 1:30 AM used to mean when I was younger, and I'll take the current version any day. Just wish I still had the earlier version of my body.

Wait, we were different at some earlier time? That must have been a good time indeed!

Thermal equalization, whatever that is. I think I once experienced it at a massage parlor in Okinawa.

That happens if they run out of massage oil

Actually, I think the correct term may be "thermal equilibrium". I don't really know. My equilibrium doesn't start kicking in until around noon. People who are trying to learn something must really hate posts like this.

CF, so you finally got your Gumby. One song at a time is the way to burn it in. Awaiting further impressions from you when you have warm it up.

Here's a review of the Yggy. I was surprised to see mention of the Nakamichi dac (which I had posted a picture of earlier) shown in the video. A good review I'd say.

Enjoying 'Kind of Blue' by Miles Davis at start of day. My setup is sounding better and better every day.

Yo, PCT! In my opinion Kenny doesn't even compare to Paul Desmond:
