Sigh. A black YGGY just came up for sale near me, and the seller mentions the "...level of plankton..." 🤦‍♂️
A suggestion for Yggy++. Provide personalized levels of Plankton by having a Plankton reservoir and a screw cap with level indicator. Schiit can use the currently unused 8x indicator light as a warning light for Low Plankton Level. :wink:

So you want the cat to look like you too? How vain unrealistic. 🤣
I know. It's unfair to think a cat could ever match my level of smoldering good looks. :wink:

I think you missed the other one: Blackground.
We've already collectively tried to make sense of that "plankton" nonsense a little while ago, but "blackground" is where I draw the line and opt to dismiss that person's opinion as nothing but hot air.*
I read all that, and was just starting to convince myself I had a grasp on it when Jason posted the feedback chapter and my head exploded. Now I have brains all over the wall. Or is it actually plankton? It's kind of a pinkish-red color, so it's definitely not blackground.... 🤣

Ask him to decontaminate it before shipping.

How do you hook this up? What headphones are you using it with?

Valhalla 2 via PYST RCA to Rekkr. Then I bought banana plug to 3 pin XLR x2 from Amazon. Then a dual 3 prong XLR to 4 pin XLR from Amazon. All as short length as possible (3pin XLR to banana plugs are 0.6m).

I use them with the Diana V2 and DCA Stealth. The Rekkr does a excellent job passing on the charater of the Valhalla 2 but with SS oomph.

Just think of all that plankton Schiit is using up for their DACs that could otherwise feed those poor whales…

Are you supposed to eat plankton or smoke it? That part is still not clear. :thinking:

I use a pair of Dali Oberon On-Wall in my Office system (driven by a NAD C 316BEE) - very nice indeed. When we upgraded the livingroom system a couple of years ago I first auditioned the Dali Rubicon LCRs, but decided on the Lyngdorf FR-1 in the end. (And Dali was founded by Peter Lyngdorf, so remained in the family).
The FR-1 does not use the fancy wall-enhanced bassreflex port of the Dali wall-mounts, instead it utilises an 8 inch passive bass unit. The result is great!
The FR-1 is the largest sounding on-wall speaker I have ever heard, it is seriously impressive with good amplification. But I can't quite stand the lack of a ribbon. My brother likes them a lot though, having had them for a couple of years. He does not miss the ribbons.

We do hear differently, he and I tend to agree on what sounds good and what does not in the bass and midrange but we do not agree in the treble.

I was thinking she supports hairy legs and underarms but, hey, you do you. :)
