    A quick update on Yggdrasil A2 deal @Inoculator hooked me up with!

    Met the seller in person last night after a long couple of days of work. Super friendly chap.

    We chatted for like 20 mins with the car trunk open while my wife patiently waited in the car hearing us geek out

    got back and plugged it in with my jbl s305 nearfields and used the MacBook as a source to listen to this thing. But man I wasn’t ready for how big a beast this DAC is!

    The fact that it was already a unused Yggdrasil since the A2 upgrade and in flawless condition, i was shocked when the Steven, the seller, surprised me by throwing in two pairs of speaker cables for free( I was like whaat!?) . For those wondering. An 8 ft pair of Analysis Plus Clear Oval biwire set and an Anticables REDD 2.1 solid core speaker cable set.

    @Inoculator ...man thanks for the hook up!

    @shredical That dude had this for sale for MONTHS at that price. I couldn't believe it just sat there so long. Congrats on a killer new DAC!

    Same guy now selling the Forssell on kijiji (sorta like the Canadian Craiglist) along with some older Mytek converters:
    https://www.kijiji.ca/o-profile/67156905/listings/1

    Critically important, he's kept the price but in CAD. That's a super good deal.
    Unemployed me weeps at the opportunity.

    If someone can get that price in CAD for the Forssell, that’s a great deal.

    https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisa9bc2-moth-audio-cicada-full-range

    Moth Cicada speakers for $200 for anyone near Oakton, VA. Worth it just for the drivers if they're okay. Hell, I'd pay that easily just for the drivers if the seller would take it.

    Edit: I emailed offering over asking just for the drivers. I'm happy to retract if someone on SBAF wants to try to pick them up locally. They're quite good. I bought @purr1n's for $600 and it was worth that by far. For $200 it's insane.

    I find TMRs prices to be pretty good on used stuff. Remember that they also list their gear on Audiogon, which does not collect tax as of yet...

    Seems like it's equivalent to a GS without Unison and unknown firmware. GS is only $100 more but you have to pay sales tax on it.
