That reminds me of the roadshow kit @Jason Stoddard was putting together.
Is that still a thing?

I vote we have Burning SchiitMan at @sixergixer distillery....

Come in time for our first distillery concert of the past year towards the end of June. UB40 is playing!

*We are, indeed, a concert venue. Block off our long skinny parking lot with a portable stage and let bands rip! It's all promoted and supported through our local radio station conglomerate and we've featured The Dandy Warhols, Floater, Tyler Childers, Margo Price, other big country artists I don't care about, and a whole bunch more.

It also requires waiting, and I can say with confidence that is one of the things in life I do the least well.

Gotta run....wife is waiting on me.

Well, we found @bcowen's Achilles heel! [or maybe----forget it].

OMG!!! I signed up for Qobuz and am listening to this. If you are into jazz and want an exceptional music experience you must listen. I'm working the Yggy, MJ3 and the MEze Empyrean IIs and it is magic. And from 1971. Like a visitor from the dead.

It's awesome! I listened to half of it last night. It has moments of fuzziness that's baked into the live recording, but otherwise a great sounding album. Wonderful, soul-stirring performances, too!

Bought my last SACD for the DSD tracks. No more.

While I love my Denon DVD3910 and I've kept it as my CD player because of SACD playback, since getting Yggy, I cannot listen to the Denon imbedded DAC. It sounds thin, harsh, and dull by comparison. I used to love listening to SACD via the Denon and it was awesome (I thought), but Redbook CD via Yggy just smoked it! Yggy has spoiled me irreparably.

I see an Urd in my future.

I hope that you buy the Urd today. Why? To get even with you posting the lyrics of the Who's "Squeeze Box" afew days ago---still cannot flush that song out of my head, Ripper!
P. S. I have an Urd, it sounds great, you will love it, and make @bcowen jealous.

The Mercury recording is superb. A great work by Wilma Cozart, producer, and Robert Fine, engineer. Cannons are real, recorded at US Military Academy, West Point. If I remember correctly, the cannon used was made in Douay, France in the 1700s.
Is it not amazing that I can recall these useless facts, but cannot tell you what I had for breakfast two days ago?

They are still a thing. IIRC, all @sixergixer needs to do is contact Denise at Schiit to get the ball rolling.

Reminds me I dropped the ball on gauging interest for a central Florida (east coast meet).

So us west coast Floridians aren't invited? LOL, just joking. I'd make the drive if the day/time works out.

My financial guy said I should plan on departing at 70 before the rest of my money did.

Just sell your tube hoard.

Well, I am in Canada, and I do love a good scotch whisky...

A Canadian Scotch drinker!

Final assembly tomorrow, the top piece is removable to allow for a Vali. Tomorrow I also hope to carve out a portion of a flight board for um, recreational use?

that is so good brother

[sam6550a]

Well, if I could make it you can too.

Ditto!

WOW!

Bass, Modius E, Vali 2 ++, WE 396A, D8000 Pros....
Not my cup of usual tea, but it took me by surprise..
Like a BladeRunner musical score...

Checking in! This sounds incredible, especially the airy yet full treble.
sounds incredibly holographic.
All the way throughout the entire spectrum. I am in love with the linearity of this chain!

DANGER: HERESEY ALERT!

Just sell your tube hoard.

A sophisticated hoarder collector does not sell their hoard collection to support the mere whims of financial existence. Finances exist to support the hoard collection.

Regardless, awesome DAC!!

dude, i wish. tried finding a board for sale and thought i had one but the guy reneged.
At any rate can't miss what you never had lol, and this is very good. A step up to my ears from Gumby A2, which I did love as well.
Certainly feels like a helluva bargain for the $1195 I paid.
