it didnt let me view it earlier, saying it requires permissions along with a prompt to send a permission request.

i can view it now though, so i guess my request was granted.

You were probably looking at the older Google Drive links, which have the permission error. The new links are in the comment I sent.

[Wells Audio amps....any experience?]

Have opinions of Wells changed over the years? For reference, here are some photos from their website of the Commander tube linestage preamplifier, Headtrip II headphone amplifier, Cipher tube DAC, and Dragon tube headphone amplifier. They appear to still be using Bybee purifiers...

[Stax SR-X9000 review]

What makes the L500Mk2 preferable to the L700Mk2? I heard the L700s at a show and enjoyed them quite a bit, but I haven’t had a chance to hear the L500s yet.

[The Headcase Stax thread]

X9000 has been hard to get ahold of even at shows. Only one at CAF, and it’s paired with an LTA Z10e.

For what it’s worth, reviews here have been very positive. I only spent a few minutes with it and would’ve preferred to run it on something like the BHSE which was also at the show, so I’ll refrain from giving impressions.

Turns out that Audeze is going to be demoing the CRBN at CanJam with "a Mjolnir amp" and the LTA Z10e.

 

Edit: They might actually be deciding between the two, the wording isn't clear to me.

They have a Carbon and a Z10e at their booth.

Is there any chance these end up at CanJam next week, since HeadAmp and Woo Audio will be there?

[KG Balanced Dynahi build discussion thread]

I was able to pick up an old Dynahi a few months back. Even though it still operates just fine, the chassis is pretty beat up and the internals are quite a mess, so it's mostly been gathering dust on the shelf since it arrived. However, I'd like to start using it again, and I think it deserves to be turned into something nice. Would anyone here possibly be open to repairing it for me? I'd want to work on it myself, but I'm currently swamped with work and am also coming up on a career change. So, I won't have enough time to sit down and really focus on it until well into 2022 at the earliest.

Edit: Someone is helping me work on it.
