    It's not needed if you sell and rebuy at a sufficient rate.

  • My Mjölnir Audio BHSE has landed and first impression: Audio heaven! Thank you Birgir.

  • I figured I had to post when this one was up and running again.  Sounds awesome...

I can afford. Can you?

I can, but am smart enough not to. Apparently you are not.

You're so childish to ban me for this. Think about it. Please help me to terminate my account.

Doesn't appear he lasted too long unbanned. Too bad :rolleyes:

So I have a question: what could I expect to lose sonically downgrading to the KGSS from the BHSE? I've been thinking more and more about a KGSS recently, as it'd simply be more convenient to deal with (reduced form factor, no tubes, etc) but I'm not totally sure yet.

Oh and I just noticed that Justin is now using Iron_Dreamer's cool pic of the BHSE (from when he had it for a short time) on its product page: ;)

I built both of my amps so YMMV but the KGSS loses some of the intimacy and presence of the BH plus the sheer power it has to push that small bit of mylar. The sheer convenience of the KGSS is hard to deny which is why it's going to be my next desktop amp which can be run for most of the day without excessive heat or catastrophic tube failure ever being an issue.

Thanks for the info spritzer. Seems like I might be able to give up the BHSE then, though I might have to stage a comparison between the two amps somehow to find out for sure.

You'd gain bass from doing me a solid and selling the BHSE to me for a drastically reduced price.

Ok, but what would I get in return for selling at a drastically reduced price? ;)

bass! you'd get bass! even if it's imaginary bass!

OBLIGATORY

Well...I could give you a hard drive with lots of ones and zeros, which would also drastically effect the sound of your KGSS. And maybe some sealed hoffman music that will escalate in value over time.

I see that you are well-versed in my interests. ;)

But it would seem that another HC-er got the drop on you with an offer more relevant to my KGSS interests, better luck next time.

Don't be coy. Who is it?

IIRC, there are two attorneys here with a KGSS....

Didn't sombody in one of those hot and muggy states recently buy a KGSS?

Indeed x2! :popcorn:

Oh nelly! Your year-end must have been pretty damn good! Congrats!

I've only made contact in the event Steve decides to look to trade. Not sure I can do it with a new kitchen, bath and hopefully trip to Europe. At least I don't have to buy one of my kids a car, a third set of braces and surgery (not covered by insurance).
