Grado RS-1x << Woo WA6 (Gen 1: Mullard NOS GZ-34, pair Brimar CV455 KB/FB): IMG_7642.jpegIMG_7643.jpeg[Columbia: released June, 1985.] A utterly fantastic rendition of my favourite Wynton Marsalis album. An absolute must listen. Technique is astonishing, emotion is searing ... across all tempi. This pertains to all the musicians. 🥹
I can understand why you savor your music. With your equipment, I would too.

A little post-show listening sesh in the wee hours of a Saturday morning, once again. I'm running the DCA Expanse off my SMSL VMV P2 with the Gustard R26 working double time as both DAC and streamer.

On deck in my queue, is Proud Peasant's release from the past October entitled Communion. I first heard these guys a few months after their last album (Pleasant songs rel. 2021) came out and I was pretty much instantly hooked. They have this interesting mix of neo-prog with stylistic elements that fit their kinda Middle Ages peasant theme. I know it sounds weird, but, if you dig prog, have a listen to their work before you write it off and my guess is you'll hear why I dig them. 🤘😎

I'm just floored with how good this chain sounds! Side note, the Focal Clear OG has really impressed me. I liken it to a more resolving HD650 with better bass and soundstage. I'm not getting the sibilance that many people talk about with the Clear OG. Maybe it's the tubes rounding out the treble region. This sound is so good, I need to make sure I have backups of all these tubes. Sorry wallet.

iMac > Qobuz > Holo Audio Spring 3 KTE (NOS) > Schiit Freya+ Tube Pre > Schiit Valhalla 2 OTL > Focal Clear OG

What headphone cable are you using? If Focal, that is a sonic constraint.
