My unsolicited opinion (is there any other kind?) is to match the size of your amp with the size of your other gear.

I know, not helpful in your case.

I tried.

guy in Reddit Schiit thread just told me my massive monitors and big stack made my HeKs look like miniature HeKs lolol

No, Yes, so I've heard, and yes.

I had a Gumby and the DAC I'm using now is superior to it with the MJ3. Only just and the tiebreaker was that the DAC I kept is also a streamer.

Someday I'm getting an MMB2 to match my MagPi. The Fulla I'm using just looks wrong :-D
One stumbling block there is that the MagPi is dark grey and I can't decide black or silver. My antipathy to black might rule the day and the kids did say silver looks better, too.

I gotta say that the Yggy being a better match visually to the Mentor than the Gumby played into the calculus lol.

Bad analogy with Ripper 2860----.

A bit of Bourbon before retiring to the listening room?

They were empty but the Edo glasses are the perfect size for his head. The wider opening lets in more air for better sampling or so the theory goes.

Yeah, we know what you did there. [Jake] (my big black cat)

ive always wanted to hear Final D8000

a fine collection, Sir

Oh man, me too! Based on everything I've read about it's sonic character versus what I know I like, it's pretty much at the tippy-top of headphones I want to try.

 

[Ripper2860]

Here's a really nice one for you fine folks...

PSA:

There is a black Yggy OG A2 w/ Unison on Ebay right now. 17 hours left...

especially the Pro version. I'm with you- the impressions I've read made them sound like my cup of tea.

Bought 6 quick picks in the Mega Millions Lottery. If I win, I'll let y'all know if the D8000 pro lives up to the hype.

@NoBodyNoWhere @Roy G. Biv @Moondog55 @mystaiced thank you! I'm mostly looking at a Bifrost at this point, but there are a few used Gumbys that have caught my eye.

I have a Bifrost MB fed by a TV in my home theater setup, and it works flawlessly.

There's a really nice Gumby A2 on US Audio Mart right now for a good price. That's the route I'd go, and I'd snatch it up if I didn't already have one.

I just did the Gumby A2 vs Yggy A1 shoot out today and the Gumby acquitted itself very well. They really are super close sounding.
At the used prices from $729 (w/ Gen5 USB @ us audio mart) and $799 (with Unison USB @ The Music Room) it's a steal.

Great review, thank you! I've added Aegir 2 to my "Schiit to consider list" thanks to your review. No new toys until a new-to-me car in June, though. Between MJ3, Aegir 2 or Tyr, and upgrades to the Gumby and Asgard 3, my wallet is going to be defying gravity at this rate by year's end...

I did order a pair of Apple AirPods Pro 2 last evening with my wife's wholehearted blessing - but music was the least of the reasons for them. First was as an inexpensive hearing aid to assist in hearing conversations in noisy environments (and quiet ones, TBH) and from reviews, they might just allow me to enjoy live concerts again; second is as a business and FaceTime-with-family headset; and third for listening to podcasts etc. while walking the pups, chilling on the deck, etc.
