September 23, 201114 yr Author comment_470939 B22 shipping tomorrow morning. Never heard the LCD2 with B22, but I bet it's a nice combo. Awesome! Wait... don't you have LCD2s? Report
September 23, 201114 yr comment_470942 Sweet, thanks! The B22 is paid for and I just ordered some LCDs from TTVJ. Until I can really decide on what to use as a source it looks like: MBA > iBasso D10 Aux (lol) > B22 > LCD-2.2 Don't laugh, but I'm really considering a Wadia or Cambridge iPod dock, as source to my Beta22. It would just de-clutter my listening area greatly. Report

September 23, 201114 yr comment_470964 Awesome! Wait... don't you have LCD2s?Not for awhile. Enjoyed, but on Team Reverb. And I take back that I never heard the LCD2 with the B22. Forgot as it's been a while. ((( ( Edited September 24, 201114 yr by blessingx Report
September 24, 201114 yr comment_471043 The β22 and LCD’s go together like flies on shit. A hearty congratulation to your most excellent purchase. Edited October 5, 201114 yr by johnwmclean Report
September 26, 201114 yr comment_471357 It's cool seeing a thread like this about a rig for 4k instead of a bassy phone for 25. Report

September 30, 201114 yr Author comment_472259 Any opinions on the PS Audio PWD? Seems nice on paper, time to dig for some info. Report

October 4, 201114 yr Author comment_472794 So far the B22 + LCD2.2 has been very pleasing. The sound sig is just to my liking. I was hoping they wouldn't be too bass heavy since people seem to rave about the bass on the Audeze. I was pleased to hear it's not too much as I'm not a bass head. The B22 seems to be a great pairing thus far. For shits and giggles I plugged the LCD2 straight into my iPod Shuffle () and also my D10. That was a fun little test that shows just what a great amp can do. I snagged a black PS Audio PWD new for $1700 and that should be here on Friday. Pretty psyched. Now I need to make some interconnects. Report
October 4, 201114 yr comment_472795 Really nice sounding rig. The PWD is a really nice DAC, sounds like you got a great deal on it. Report
October 4, 201114 yr comment_472804 Looks like I will be picking up Rics B22 as well as some new LCD-2s. FYI: http://www.head-fi.org/t/547674/fs-nugget-audio-b22 (see the B22 usage note) Report
October 4, 201114 yr Author comment_472807 FYI: http://www.head-fi.o...ugget-audio-b22 (see the B22 usage note) Thanks. Ric made me aware of this and I also recalled reading it a few years ago on a B22 thread somewhere. I already had a habbit of lowering the volume on all amps I've own before I do anything. Report
October 4, 201114 yr comment_472825 Sorry for the long delay. here is the MPX3 PSU, taken from my toaster-style MPX3. Its pretty much the same on the PCB. I prefer the MPX3 power supply to the supra PSU for safety and awesomeness. an extra RC cell is worth a lot in my book. Report
October 4, 201114 yr comment_472827 Sounds like a great rig, that's going to get even greater in a few days. Nice work securing awesome gear. Report
October 4, 201114 yr comment_472830 If I were buying a new rig I'd probably pick up the Beta22 that Nate built, that's for sale elsewhere. Then get the latest version of the Audeze LCD-2. Nice job recommending the exact rig he bought! Report

Now I need to make some interconnects. Good choice on the PWD (I presume network card?) - digital streaming is by far the best way to do computer audio (async + no interface timing error + computer not in the listening room). Once you have your UPNP server / controlling point all set up, it would be really easy to migrate to a better digital steamer (Linn Akurate, for example, or MDS-i for a one-box speaker solution - you add the speakers).

No network card. I have an 11" Mackbook Air that will be connected to the PWD with USB. I thought about the network card but I'm not sure I like the idea of the interface. I just worry about the touch interface being cumbersome. Report
