Having a highly resolving system can be your worst enemy or best friend, the balance hangs with both system synergy and personal preference. You may very well have been chasing your tail with tube replacements band-aiding a source which may not have been to your taste. The BHSE (SED winged C’s) and 009’s are my current reference, my preference is for a source on the warm/lush side of neutral, I suspect the K-01 may lend it self to an analytical detailed presentation from reading many of your posts? I’ve not had any experience with the CH Precision C1 DAC, but it’s a departure in implementation from the K-01, being an R2R vs DS and if you believe the hype this may need to be something you need to investigate. Dave I recommend investigating all other available options, don’t get tunnel visioned into this one almighty purchase, DACs tend to depreciate sooner than other audio investments, so factor that in, come 3 years there may very well be a $2,299 DAC lapping at the heels of the CH Precision C1.

No... I actually sold the KGSSHV without a volume control and kept the KGSSHV with a volume control as I knew the Yggdrasil purchase was imminent What I miss is the M51s remote... and it doesn’t help that my racks over the other side of the room, dammit ... I swore I wasn’t going to get a Yggy for this very reason, I suppose a 21 bit digital volume would just truncate way too much. Luckily is sounds fab so I don’t feel so jipped. ... and the calories I’m burning off to adjust volume.

I usually struggle defining any differences between sources, I consider my one day old Yggdrasil considerably better than my NAD M51, it really took me by surprise as I wasn’t expecting the hype to live up to my expectations. It’s definitely a landmark purchase for me. Edit: Yggdrasil > KGSSHV > SR-009, will spark up the BHSE at some time and give that a listen over the weekend.

Today skepticism eats humble pie, what a great piece of kit.

Happy Birthday Dusty!

Great news!

Pics or it didn’t happen, internal shots as well

insanity since your using a 3U case you could potentially mount (and heatsink) the GRLV boards above the amp boards, this would clear up the whole centre section for the transformer and attenuator and neaten up wiring.

I just love your wit Mr jibbity jib.

Thanks guys, I had a great day!

Very cool, I’m looking forward to the equalised results and congrats Birgir with your new celebrity fame.

Just noticed sometimes... When viewing a closed thread I can see the last member who has posted. Opening the thread to view the last post the member is different. J

Paid, but forgot to quote the quantity. 12 PCS. Many Thanks Soren.

Interest renewed, I’m down for 12 FT Caps. Back to vertical layout for the psu to fit 2U.

Nice upgrade, liking it a lot.

Paid. Thanks for organising.

Indeed. Where to start with John Zorn? Some material is just way to heavy and chaotic for my tastes, but love stuff from his filmworks albums.
