Is it open for a tour?

Happy Birthday Brent! I was just up in your old area last week for a friend of mine Iron Man event.

Yes, Justin did confirm it and I did try it and hear good improvements. The Astrodyne PSU is also another one that you could try over the supplied brick PSU for noticeable improvement. https://www.musicdirect.com/equipment/headroom-astrodyne-power-supply

You can make it better if you can find a Headroom DPS power supply to power the Lite MKII instead of the brick. I spent about a week with the GSX mini and it was fantastic sounding with wide-range of different headphones.

Happy Birthday!

He/She will love it Chris. Hard to beat the Mini Dynalo. I have the GSX Mini on loan from Justin and I'm splitting hair to hear difference. Thank you so much for making one for me.

Have a wonderful birthday to my good friend Mike! 40 at last!

Have a great birthday as well Doug!

Awesome!

Give them two weeks. And yeah, it will be more expensive and equally dangerous.

another vote for Mjolnir-Audio! The KGSSHV is the sweet spot!

I'm excited for you as well.

You really should John. It has been too long since we last meet. I personally think the GS-X mini will be quite stellar. I'm sure Doug either will attend or send loaner amps to TomB. Would be neat to finally hear the ECP T4 and ECP DSHA-3F. @ Brent, We sure miss your presence man. Maybe you can get Fitz to join us at the meet again. I also miss him.

Thanks John. Hoping for another great meet! I will be attending as usual. Headamp will also be there!

Glad you are liking it. I hope you did get it for a good price. I think the DAC is an after thought however. Wish the line level out is always active though.

no snow here in Atlanta. Just about 6-inch of rain by the end of this week. I really want a snow day.

I think the GS-X Mini would be a great choice for the Utopia. As good as the ZH1ES is, it isn't as transparent as the GS-X / or the mini Dynalo that I have. Less dynamic sounding too. However, you can buy the ZH1ES used for less than $1500 and you are about 85-90% there to the GSX Mini and you don't need to get another DAC. If you need a cheap but very good DAC, I highly recommended the SMSL SU-8 1.2 version DAC. For $250 off Amazon, it offers a really good sound for cheap. No harshness that I could detect either.

How about the GSX - mini?

Yes, I have. The ZH1ES is a solid upgrade in term of sound quality from my WM1Z and you should see the sonic benefits on your Utopia as well John. I found the ZH1ES to have considerably better soundstage depth and width compared to my 1Z. The presentation on the ES amplifier is more laid back and also warmer than that of the WM1A and 1A so it should work in favor of the Utopia. With that said, the best I have heard the Utopia was actually out of my GSX-MKI with Dynalo Plus module installed.

40 Trips Around the Sun in 24/96. Just bought it 15 mins ago. Excellent remastering.

Or whenever they decide to release Jade II SE

I know that the 3F is made for Focal, but how does the Senn HD800 do on it?

The L700 + 353X gotta be a much better purchase.

Can it best my JH13pro?

Have a great thanksgiving everybody!
