It's been a long while since we did the simplified and improved T2 but it won't sound like the real deal. Better yes, but not the same.

There are a lot of crap dacs out there but something like the Denafrips and Soekris are excellent. Made me retire the MSB...

Yup, we can do that. I'll get it all in a more permanent place though before we post links.

Given Kevin's retirement, we had to move the files so I put them here temporarily. I might move them again soon though....

I have no idea.

When you say it, that looks like a steel Modushop chassis with a new top plate and wooden side panels. Cheapest possible crap then... The perf boards are just retarded. I mean why would you do that, there is no good way to mount the tube sockets compared to a proper pcb with large slots to securely mount them. Ohhh and a RK27 volume control in a 12000€ amp? Are you fucking kidding me?

Yeah and I like my quote above in Russian...

I don't think there is anything slow about it...

Jötunheimar is the "world of the Jötuns" aka the gods.

Ditto!!!

It's even prettier in person. So...when can I get one?

The DC-DC converter.

Make sure to measure the noise as that's the main problem with these

You can also adjust the spring to give it a bit more lift. Some nice pliers and you are good to go.

I wouldn't bother moving half of this stuff. Seriously the Wilsons are pretty much the definition of just set and forget. Me thinks Kevin needs some Sound Lab U series speakers with the frame filled with something super dense.

There are some gigantic circular hole saws on ebay and while being pretty shitty, they work ok for some light cutting. I'd only use them on aluminum though.

Have you tried simply turning the spring inside the earpads?

If anybody thinks I won't say something to them in person...well you'd think wrong. As for HF, well it is run by shills so things are never going to change but what they might be upset about is shitheads like this one cutting into their bottom line.

High end as in probably worse than the cheap shit? Yeah no...

Just read through some of that...fuck some people over there would be in so much trouble over this.

Ohh boy, look at this, our new favorite shill is at it yet again: https://www.head-fi.org/f/threads/angstrom-stella-headphone-amplifier.846641/ Hmmm should we just report him and get it over with or spam the thread with links to this one?

My "guy" in Japan.

I've already put in an order for one so a full dissection is coming as soon as I can have one shipped to Kevin. The 600LE used ECC99's... only the T2 has the 6922's in the input section.

The M3 and the Audeze chinese POS are pretty similar designs so it wouldn't surprise me if they sound really similar.

From what I understand Focal got very angry about this and there has been a sudden shift from "best evah" to "maybe not" in attitude about them. Might also just be the regular FOTM thing.
