Small update to the headphone station. Replaced the JBL LSR308 with ADAM Audio T8V Powered Studio Monitors. The top end is totally transformed. Opened up and much clearer. I was worried it was going to be a lateral move but so far I think its an upgrade.

A few weeks ago I had commissioned Aric from Aric audio to build me a pre amp based on the 300b tube to match the 300b headphone amplifier he had built me a couple years ago. I received it earlier this week and have been listening to it at every opportunity. The only way to describe it is simply incredible, a huge step up from the Conrad Johnson I had been previously using. If you are looking at any tube based gear Aric Audio deserves a spot on the short list.

^^^ Man you guys sure don't make it easy for us do you.
Just reconfigured the C3P as I noticed that sitting on the factory rubber nubs they call feet the bottom was getting much warmer than the top.I had these Myrtlefeet from Waipuna Sound sitting around..They are designed with solid brass "thumbtacks"that pull vibration out of electronic devices & channel into the Myrtle wood..The brass studs sit absolutely perfectly into the Burson channeled housing & each sits on a #2 Vibrapod,eliminating vibration from below...Can't say for sure if I notice any SQ difference but the entire amp is running much cooler...

Was jamming to the Daze Between tribute to Jerry... Behind the Surface Pro is a Bifrost OG MB and that's an OG Freya... Rocking my old Dynaudio Special Five's.(they're up to Special 40's now). Mono blocks are as old as the speakers, NuForce Ref. 8.5 (some hybrid class D amp technology)

I bought the Modius because I cant get enough volume from my THX 789 feeding either the HE500 especially the HE560 besides the fact that I dont like how the amp sounds shouty, less smooth from High gain hence I listen on my cans from Mid gain on 789. Btw Im not so good in reviewing sound but having tried cans in shops and Canjams, I find that the Modius sounded much livelier, edgier while D50 is smoother and has more space between instruments by a hair bit. Still I am keeping the Modius, selling the other.
