I think I will go for Ryuichi Sakamoto's "Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence" from the album Three.  It is a very intimate recording with Jaques Morelenbaum on cello and Judy Kang on violin playing alongside Ryuichi on piano.  I feel that they really captured the subtle qualities of their instruments in this piece and I hope that the 009's and the BHSE bring new weight and insight into this recording.

The shuguang treasure tubes will be available to ship with the bhse for $299

 
to answer your question posed:
 

Hi Justin,that's great you just provided an "official" opinion on this. Can you describe in details? In what aspects the Shuguang prevails? and would there be an upgrade option for tested/matched Shuguang tubes on the current batch of BHSE?

Hello nickif
 
In one of his recent posts, J. W. wrote that the Shuguang Treasure (tested/matched, I presume) option price would be $299.00

This question is directed at everyone who is currently waiting for their BHSE to arrive.

Bach is a fine choice btw.

 
When it comes to testing the SQ of a stereo combo, I think that recording quality is more important that the contents -the music itself. So, rather than Bach or Mozart, I will listen to In Every Street by Dire Straits. This is the best-recorded CD I know, especially for percussion and dynamics -sound engineer is Bill Schnee, the pope of direct cut LPs. Of course, when it comes to enjoying music, Bach can be considered better than Mark Knopfler.

Sorry Bones13, I should have read your answer to nickif before sending mine. Nickif, which answer do you prefer?

 

[nickif]

Guys, I like both, thanks a lot.
Actually there were several posts regarding this subject, doing homework here...

Just bought a nice rack to accommodate the GS-X MKII and BHSE

Sorry, It's On Every Street, of course.

Nice rack!  
 
I did the same thing a short time ago.  Now I've convinced my wife to completely redecorate my listening room at the same time.   The couch went out the door today.  I can't wait to see what she does, she's got a good eye for decorating.  I've given her the "this must go there" stuff from a technical stand point, the rest is up to her.

Wow, do show off your wife's work with some pics please. If I had a dedicate listening room, would definitely go for speakers. Actually GS-X and BHSE will hopefully be my last investment on headphone system, be done with it after they arrived. :atsmile:

I'm starting to think in terms of two racks side by side.  Powersupply x 2; BHSE x 2; GSX-mk2 x 2; DAC x 1; Macbook x 1  IT NEVER ENDS !!!

  i think he's asking which EL34 tubes are the best match. i like the Shuguang Treasure 6CA7 among current production tubes. 

 
Hi justin，
Can you post a new update for this batch? Thks.

 

[justin w.]

sure. everything is pretty much assembled at this point, just waiting on the front panels getting polished/anodized which unfortunately is more complicated than it should be. the assembled power supplies are under sheets on tables and the amplifiers are at an assembly company that was soldering the wires from the sides/back panels onto the main board.

Glad to hear that, you mean every single one of them has been assembled? nice!
