      What are the current opinions on the GumFreya Mod? I am considering it as a fun project...I would love to hear recent impressions!

        I like the idea of the deccware output stage more than a full freya. But unsure what mod is safer for the chips

        I was wondering if the A2 made it redundant, but never was able to track down that note. I know the A1 was a bit gray sounding and the gumfreya cleared it up. Is the A2 void of any grayness?

        I am going to go for it and put up an ad for a Gungnir MB to mod for GumFreya, but if anyone already has one already setup, I would also be interested in that! Save me a step!

        The RD-X is what got me back into high end hp after a 6 year hiatus, will ALWAYS hold a special place in my heart. N I’m on the Auteur Classic loaner too, first ZMF can I’ll get the chance to hear! Supes excited.

        You are in for a treat with the Auteur. In a way its comparable to the RD-x. The bio drivers sound great and with my setup its pulling out lots of detail while maintaining a smooth effortless vibe. Bit more intimate sounding though.

        Perhaps you could lift the mids and even the highs with some shallow beveled cavity perforated earpads

        I hadnt really been considering pad rolling, but had some ZMF ovals to try out, and they make a sig. difference in the presentation. The stock pads were a bit flat, which may account for the drastic change...But these are certainly a better experience.
        Ill have to get some perf. pads soon

      The Lyr+ is excellent, only way to make it better is to add in a DAC card slot, I would easily trade the relay atten. for this as an AIO.

        So far I am enjoying it. I am still waiting on the 1.1 upgrade kit, but in stock form its pretty good with enough power behind it. I think that it works very well as a compliment to the HD800. Just an easy listen overall with good bass extension and smooth mids/treble.

        Hearing a 2.3 with a modded mk 4 for hd800 was a big listening event for me. It hasn’t been the same since. I assume eaglewings had a similar experience

        The JAR800 will be back with me in a week or so which will be the first time i have heard this combo.

        I am pretty sure part of this revelation today is a new set of rectifiers.

        Never heard BA but having heard some EC amps (and having one myself) I would imagine they sound quite different

        That’s the problem. Both sound great! Starlett has more euphony while BA has more detail and “deliberate” accuracy of stage.
