800s landed.
Preliminary tests make me think "gee, these sound pretty good." This is using my 2004 GLite Mk I and Pico DAC (quality, but ultimately humble kit.) I really need to re-tube my HR Millet(t) Hybrid serial #1 and see how it drives the 800s. What I remember is that the HRMH makes everything sound more lush.
Us Three
Horace Parlan
1960

Example:
Oh look a 1960 Blue Note recording, that sounds amazing, and has incredible playing, and great swing. Who would have thought? yeesh. Other than that it is fricken great. Cheers to Horace, George and Al.
The reason I always write it as "Millet(t) Hybrid" is because my HRDMH was a production sample and in addition to having the "Home" upgrade, it also bears a typo:
When I contacted Headroom a decade ago when I bought it, the staff member I spoke to expressed surprise that it had been sold. It still smells faintly of pot smoke.
Follow-up time. This cat is ridiculous. There’s still some drama between her and the other female cats, but it’s less and less every day.
And the family ended up settling in Snickerdoodle, and she gets called Doodle most of the time. It fits.
She’s getting very comfortable…

Daughter

Example:
Newer release from Daughter. I know that they have been around for ten years or so, but I have not been following them. I really appreciated the overall mood and vibe of this album. Not standout songs, But takes me on a slow journey that I really enjoyed. I will have to go back and take a look at the lyrics to see how the messages match-up. I am not great with lyrics for the most part on a first listen.
