So for a laugh I tried it the Hifiman HE6SEV2. I normally only use the Jotunheim 2 for these in balanced mode as they need some juice. Not sure if it is the 100V rails and I'm admittedly at about 3 o'clock on the dial, but, seems to handle them without any issues.

Very interesting for sure...
If they sound good with this Vali 3 even at 3 PM, I assume High Gain..then that should tell you something!!

So glad to hear you've recovered.

What kind of glass is that? A special master distiller tasting glass?

Tasting glass from a tour at Willett Distillery. I've grown to really enjoy drinking from it.

And thanks! Recovering peacefully with a full Memorial Day weekend is a nice way to do it.

My hand tremors prevented me from building one (or the BHC kit I sold recently), however @Paladin79 came to the rescue with a wonderful little coaster amp and a custom holder atop of a custom dual HP stand.

Neat! I'm sure it's beautiful work.

I do have an extra completed board I can send to @sixergixer at some point in the near future.

A person can purchase a magic 8 ball toy, take it apart (not easy) remove the guts and have a fine stand and cover for the coaster amp.

I think I just spotted some trim pieces for my stands!

Yep, and I mean this in the nicest possible way. You are trouble!

Not to defend Darko, but I think that my experience reflects what he might be saying... you can't count on furniture and carpets to properly tune a room. To do that, you need correctly sized and located absorbers and diffusers. Once the room is properly tuned, furniture and carpets / rugs will modify the room's acoustic profile, as expected. But furniture is secondary in this multivariate equation.

Unless, of course, you want to buy high-backed, upholstered chairs and place them at the first reflection points... and stand up a couple of sofas in the front and rear corners as bass traps. But then, those items would cease to be furniture, right?

Exactly, and if one watches the videos, they will see that John tried some of the commonly-held-belief solutions such as a rug, some furniture, some specifically chosen curtains, etc. just to test some of those theories. He acquired fresh RT60 numbers for each thing attempted and they all had a negligible effect on the score. Room treatment panels fixed nearly everything to fantastic effect.

This is how I will show off the tiger maple. Three edges.

An 8-ball amp sounds fun! Let the music tell my future.

Being a kids toy it was not made to come apart but I persevered. I just need to retest it sometime and it would only be the working board that I would send. It took longer to get the 8 ball open than for me to build the coaster.

Bee you t full!

Just wait, I still need to add finish and maybe a bit of color to bring out the stripes. I start with a completed image in my mind then work my way towards that. I did finish the project for @Bowmoreman as I waited between steps.

This is my version of cardboard speaker terminal spacers, made with quarter sawn sycamore. One of Indiana’s tallest deciduous trees.


You will hear mention of the sycamore tomorrow provided the Indy 500 is not rained out.

Back home again in Indiana
And it seems that I can see
The gleaming candlelight
Still burning bright
Through the sycamores for me
The new-mown hay sends all its fragrance
Through the fields I used to roam
When I dream about the moonlight on the Wabash
How I long for my Indiana home
