So hopping back and fourth this morning between hybrid and multi BA, both sounding pretty good but totally different:rolling_eyes: Easiest way to break that down is the 12 BA is like listening to a full on orchestra and the Hybi is akin to 5th row at a rock concert:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Of course I also realize everyone's MMV:thumbsup:

These just arrived - I was one of the 20 lucky winners. Earstudio HE100 single dd, straight out of the box, but with RHA wide bore tips I have to say they sound promising already! Thanks again @radsone

My beloved QP1R still tops any other player for my taste :)
The SE6 finished my seemingly infinite search for an IEM..

Love your Avatar TAs, I'm very familiar with it:beerchug:

Pod Rega Planar 8? Been eyeing the RP6 myself. I have my old Technics all torn apart in the garage right now, SL1401 semi-auto Direct drive original owner. Got a wild hair to restore it when it already was working and now well not working so much.

It is Bob, I upgraded my secondary systems turntable (RP1) to the 8 when they went to $1999. I have a good friend who bought the 40th anniversary RP3 and did the Delrin Platter/Groove tracer upgrade which is basically a RP6 with Exact and it sounds awesome. The 8 is leaps above my old 1, of course my main rig has the Well-Tempered Amadeus in it. Both excellent tables but for me the mass loaded is the way to go.

Well Tempered Lab makes some really really nice tables bit out of my financial reach. Love the golf ball suspension as it looks so gimmickey but works so well. Getting an RP8 for 2K is a steal, I would jump on that in a second as that's my max price point if I cannot give life support to my Technics. I hesitate on the secondary market as turntables are moving parts but there are some really nice used tables in my price range, my integrated has a good phono stage so that helps.
