before seeing your reply I thought you were going to say your living room setup amp exploded, some of the thiels dip below 2 ohms and had a nasty reputation for that on other forums - really cool speakers though

My living room setup is Micro Seiki + dl110>Skoll>Nakamichi PA-7A MK2. And the speakers are Theil CS3 at the moment.

@decompositions , mostly they explode when you crank them too hard, but that is the only thing that I know, of course we don't install them anymore, but a ton of our customers still have them running!

No that I have read. @schiit hooked my interest hard with the chapter about it on HF...

I admit I am curious also.

I love how you say that you're excited to "listen to music on.." not just "listen to [sounds on]". Awesome attitude!

Airist RDAC / MCTH is fire for synergy. That definitely takes me back - tons of hours of enjoyment with that stack.

Substitute Elex for Clear and Siemens tube for stock and I found great synergy with this chain, too

Don't have any Siemens of this type, but grabbed RCA smoked, Mullard and Sylvania... But the one Siemens tube I have and heard is great!

No. Its quite mild IME.

Not very abrasive at all, but if you use water it could get messy. Also, if you use them often don't buy brand name Magic Erasers in the grocery store. I got a 100 pack of generic melamine sponges on Amazon for like 20 bucks. Will probably last me forever.

Damn 5 years!

@yotacowboy man that was right around when I first joined SBAF. Not sure if I miss how frenetic and combative things used to be back then but it's nostalgic at this point haha.

$2 fuse fixer was my favorite thread

One man's aggro is another man's trigger. Probably best we don't dump it on each other here.
I never used to bother about politics etc, but after events over the past few years, and comments thereon, there are people that I don't want to even talk audio with. I don't care, they don't care, but it would be nicer if this didn't happen here.

@Case and anyone else who can should go see it!

Classic!

Murray from the New Zealand consulate will be in touch.

I already gave it a 'like'

Where’s your shotgun?

Reverse psychology time, pretend you really like the little shit. He will be gone quick and you don't look like an asshole.

Not sure I can completely agree @HotRatSalad , I listened to Animals WAY more and am not sick of it, or Angel Dust by Faith No More.

Both great albums but I'm not sure how Animals and Angel Dust are related other than being next to each other my in album list. In that case Amused to Death, Animal Magnetism and Appetite for Destruction never grow old either.

@Kernel Kurtz , albums I have listened to an absurd amount of times and have not gotten tired of.... Sorry I was unclear!

after all, only one word in SBAF pertains to audio

Hope it was a good orgy.

In the words of the immortal Dr. Steve Brule, "Orgies are no fun when nobody wants to do it with you."

Damnation is sure for all those who use grey type on a white background. Hell fire, and all.

Apart from which... it's a nice-looking product.

Biggering and biggering.

The TA-66 comparison is what I'm curious about.

And with Folkvangr

I sure as shit would love to hear the Folkvanger!

Looking forward to trying Mimir + Pietus tomorrow if FedEx is on time.

Very interested in Soekris comparos (preferably 2541/1421) w/ Mimir. In the market for a new DAC and these are square in my sights.. thanks fellas.

@FlySweep any particular amps or headphones you’d like to see comparisons using? Not that I have every amp or headphone in the world… yet…
