    I'm not sure what it is, but I don't think any of the companies responsible for the winning gear are going to feature this award on their homepages or packaging. ;)

    Holy crap, there has been a lot more releases this year than I thought. I'd say that its been a pretty damn good year for the audio world.

    A little surprised, too. I have been a bottom of mid-fi dweller basically my whole Head-fi life (except for a few older TOTL headphones that passed through), and the GOV2 Inifnity + HD650 is the summit of mid-fi. I have been looking for sound this good for this "cheap" for many years. Only thing I wish for now was a GOV2 in a chassis the size of a Modi or maybe slightly larger to accommodate larger jacks for desktop use. I thought the original Pulse would be something like that, but man did that ever get out of control.

    The HD650 was never mid-fi. It's still a TOTL headphone (in its price range*) that scales well with $100 equipment, to stuff costing 10x.

    It's like an old Ferrari. It can't perform like some of the new ones, but still performs better than most out there and very respectable

    *it's a big range because it competes with those 2-3x the price

    This is awesome. Is this a thread about dick? Tallywhackers? Schwanztuckers? Twig and berries? Fishing tackle? What's funnier than a bunch of guys awarding penis medals? Answer: not much, some fart jokes maybe. Keep it _up_

    So if I read this list correctly a chain of Gungnir Multibit -> Mjolnir 2 -> HD650 is the official chain of SBAF, everything else is S.

    (just trying to win a golden phallus for best tongue in cheek comment)

    Actually, EC Studio is the best headphone amp for Gungnir Multibit. Sell your car and get a loan to pair it with the best value in DACs today. Then throw the 650 at it. We're going opposite of Marv's "How to budget your shit" thread, but it's a stupid one anyway, this one's better.

    This may be a recipe for disaster. If I could toot my own horn, I'd never leave the house.
