After some critical listening of the Brimar black blass with the brown base i think maybe there is a touch more sparkle in the top end, but this maybe just because it's not properly burned in yet, all my clear glass orange prints are used so a lot more burned in.


Still awaiting the Marconi B65's, shipping from abroad so taking agessss.

No, sorry...I meant the Bad Boy Ebay link I posted for @Monahans67. Looks like I didn't quote his post when I replied and lost the context as a result.

You had me worried! Don't do that to me again!!!

Checking in after a long absence- picked up a pair of AFOs. The Lyr3 with Bad-Boy and AFO has taught me why so many people on this thread have AFOs. Really great match.

Going to be interesting to see what the Ether 2 sounds like with the Lyr 3 as I will more than likely inevitably purchase them lol... @Ripper2860 Could probably buy them as well if he didn't spend all his budged on spares of spares of spares of spares for he tube collection

My Hifiman Ananda HPs are serving me just fine, thank you. I just have a metal thing about spending EF2 kind of $$$ on a pair of HPs. It took all the strength I could muster to trade my Sundaras in + $500 for the Anandas.

I will be on the lookout for a deal on a used Aeon Flow Closed in a few weeks, however.

Welcome back, Will! Nothing here has changed much, except @Ripper2860 got even older.

Well, yes. That and amass more tubes.

AFC are great. I know because I have them since the pre-order... Ripper - you'll love them for sure. Our taste is very similar (I also got HEXv2 which is very close to your new Ananda).

Yeah, I need a nice pair of good closed back cans and they seem to be highly regarded. I was hesitant because: 1) Bill likes them and he's a metal-head, and 2) I thought they might be too warm and bottom-heavy. Seeing that you own the HF HEX v2 and still like the AFC sound profile, it looks like they may be the way to go for my situation.

Thx!

I'm beginning to wonder rather than the eye watering amount i've spent on tubes would it have been better to get better headphones? hehe. I'm sure when i've done a pair of STAX 009's would have been cheaper.

Congrats on the AFO's. All you need now is a Loki.

Loki? Check!

Ripper Older? Check!
