An engaging / exciting combination:

The first time I heard an Empyrean was on a Gilmore Lite in the Headamp booth at CanJam 2018. That was a great listen. I liked that little amp...and ended up buying an Empyrean.

What does the external P.S. do for the amp's sound?

I assume (since I have not heard a GL-II ‘sans’ external power supply) that the noise floor is lower, dynamic range is greater. Certainly the GL-II+ does not sound solid-state. When fed by the NOS/R2R Mojo Audio DAC, the GL-II+ is musically convincing. It’s all mine !

It's gonna be an enjoyable night of music listening.

That's an awesome stack of gear. What are those on the top with the big tubes?

Same minimalist setup except new key caps opened up the soundstage even more

I think many of us here who have been following NickGate had similar thoughts of first trying to encourage him to feel better about his set-up and feeling some compassion for him. But as it proceeded, it seemed as though the narrative he presented here was disingenuous and didn't quite add up - to say nothing of some of his stranger remarks here, which I think have now been removed by the Mods.

If he is suffering from an emotional condition, then I certainly hope with you that he gets the help he needs. However, my hunch is that his motivations are dubious.

Well, I wish him all the best. If he's a troll, I hope he goes away; if he needs medical assistance, I hope he gets some, sooner, rather than later.

And.. moving on from NickGate...

That's a very nice shot - great headphones and a pretty-looking cable, too!

What keyboard is that, by the way?
