Kinda liberating.. and a great opportunity to reflect on the journey.. Even a super simple rig (smartphone & cIEMs) can be very very satisfying. Periodic gear purges help with audiophile nervosa.
@MLegend sold it long awhile back to fund something else. Still dig it, tho.. drop some Burson opamps in it and it's a step up in perf.
@MisterRogers no worries, Mike.. I'm in no rush to get it yet. More excited to have it sufficiently hot-rodded, really. My hope is @dsavitsk can get to the latest dghtboard re-design sooner than later!
One more musing on the gear purge.. it's a lot easier to say that once you've had (and heard) enough gear to your heart's content. I find myself jonesing for much less gear these days. Maturing in the hobby & SBAF are certainly responsible for that.. but at the same time, I don't regret the money spent on gear turnover to get to this point.
..I've been lucky to have not owned much, if any, outright shitty stuff.. chalk that up to careful research, calculated 'blind' purchases, realistic expectations, and trusted ears to lean on.
Wise choice. From what I understand of it, this next CCS upgrade will have, overall - a greater impact. It's insane really, the performance of this thing already
Dude.. Belleson regs.. upgraded caps.. 2 sets of CCS.. nice tubes.. and who knows what else Doug's cookin'. I'm gonna need a cigarette when you send me the tracking #.
