Tubes seem very intimidating, even for someone who has had some light experience with them before. The endless amounts of choices just truly give me anxiousness a bit, haha.

I'll hold your hand.

So beautiful. I just teared up.

Always a sop.

I’ve been called an SOB multiple times in my life, but I don’t know what an SOP is

I received my 8ft Superconductor cable today. I talked Joe S. on the phone yesterday afternoon around 3pm, placed my order shortly after and the cable was delivered to my door at 11am this morning. Joe even called me back after I ordered because he thought I made a mistake on the connector on the amp end and he was right! Now that’s great service!

I’ve been burning in the new cable about 10 hrs now, and it’s already sounding great. For those of you that own this cable, about how many hours to reach full burn-in? I’m already enjoying it so I’m not going to worry about it, just curious.

Not surprised at all...Joe is definitely one of the good ones IMO.

Especially riveting with TC

I heared the new Porcupine Tree Album already with 1266 TC amazing!

With CRBN to die for!
Raal is incoming...will be fun!

If I were to sell off a list of components I own to fund a (used) 1266 and decent sources; what would you do?

I have:
2021 Diana Phi
Arya Stealth
LCD XC (2021)

XI Broadway amp
Matrix Element M DAC

Although im quite content with my set up, in theory what would you sell off to fund a 1266 set up?

I’ve seen some good prices in the classifieds for a 1266 TC but im kind of lost for affordable electronics that sound good enough for a satisfying chain.

 

[PhazeCrive]

I'd rid of the Arya and XC. Dphi is better than both of them combined, that's if you wanted a TC.

In theory you can also sell the electronics as well. I used to run my TC right out of my computer or phone with XLR > 6.3mm > 3.5mm adapters and it sounded just fine. Of course, upgraded later on as you can see, but that is a move for the very desperate. Should be fine selling off some headphones.

 

[freedom01]

I go by the simple logic.
We have only got one head.
Which headphone spends the most amount of time on my head gets to stay.

Unless of course, $ is no problem. You can have as many gears as you wish.

But for finite amount of resources and space, one TOTL headphone coupled with a good Dac and amp is enough.

Is this guy trolling or what? Can't imagine a better headphone for jamming out than the TC

Or was he just saying how the HD800 didn't fall off (which my TC doesn't anyway).

From the body and facial language on display throughout the proceedings, I'd argue that he is clowning (or so he thinks). Whether you find the act amusing, annoying, or simply boring would depend on your personal preferences, like nearly everything else on head-fi.

Mileages may vary, of course.
