I still have work to do but @bcowen’s mini Schiit rack is coming along. I need to sand and finish the support pieces, cut off some excess wood etc. At least I know the tiger stripes show.

Curious what the Dekoni pads do to the sound. I'm borrowing a friend's 6XX and I'm generally digging them. I just wish they had more low end authority. Bass is there but recessed against the other frequencies, imo.

Yes, in my experience, another trait of the dynamic high impedance ‘phones is a rolled off bass. All my set-ups include some form of EQ, typically with Loki or Lokius, and my comments reflect a mild bass boost. Also I typically listen at low db, so more bass boost, e.g 4 db.

YMMV of course.

Ahh, okay, that is where I recall the "A2" from then :)
Absolute bargain for what you're getting, nice find!
Just got my OG A2 back from the Schiit mothership sporting the new Yggy+ chassis - sleek, lower profile, and reactivated the warranty to boot
One happy Schiitizen I am
:beerchug:
Oh, Hell yeah, Man. Noice.

I normally look to @Paladin79 for guidance. I was taught to always respect my elders. 🤣 🤣 🤣
I am so old I hope I can remember who the Tiger Maple mini rack belongs to.🤔 I think it was Sam or Ripper. Us older people are lucky to remember who we are let alone some gypsy traveler with a tiger maple fetish.🤪

That's too beautiful to even put Schiit on. Just sit and admire!

Speaking of age....... :) .........

Am I the only one here that when the little yellow supports are peeking out from under the woodwork just right it conjures up a mental image of Spy VS Spy?

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?🤪
Whoa! Those endpieces came out of nowhere and really turn it into a stunner!

Are you sure @bcowen wouldn't rather something using MDF? If he does, I'll take that off your hands :)
