Hifiman HE6-SE
So, having used the cheap Audeze style headband from Alibaba and having got frustrated with the feel, I splashed out on the HE400i band from Hifiman. More comfortable and easy to for change once you pop the threaded inserts out of the holes.- bevanc

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
Went to one of my favorite local venues, Mr Smalls in Millvale, just outside Pittsburgh. It's a converted church, so the acoustics are pretty good. Saw the X Ambassadors there, a band we've seen a few times over the years. Great fun and always put of a great show. Their new album, Townie, is...- bevanc

Hifiman HE6-SE
So, going to throw in an alternative amp to try. For those of you that have a Vali 3, I'm currently listening to the HE6SEV2 with it and a GE 5670 5-STAR 3 Mica Black Plate tube. I literally tried it for a laugh. $150 amp plus $20 tube. Massive Attack sound very good like this. Yes I'm at 3...- bevanc

So.... Well Schiit. Jason has done something special here. Enjoying I have thrown at it with the GE 5670 5-STAR 3 Mica Black Plate is wonderful. Everything I've played on them with the Arya Stealth is engaging and wonderful. Need to try some other headphones out later.- bevanc

So, Vali 3 came today. As did the GE 5670 5-STAR 3 Mica Black Plate. Out of the box, with the stock tube and hooked up to Bifrost 2/64 into my Arya Stealth, got to say, very impressed. Letting it cool down to try the GE tube.- bevanc

In Terry Pratchett's discworld, 8 is a magic number. 8 days in a week, with Octeday being the 8th day. Octarine, the Colour of Magic, is the 8th color of the rainbow and can only be seen by wizards and witches.- bevanc

Two of my favorite authors. Still find it sad that we won't get any more books from these master story tellers.- bevanc

We have had a voucher every year from my brother in law for the last 3 years. I can recommend Chef Simon's pierogi's. Especially the beef cheek.- bevanc

Understandable. But try the new album once....You might be pleasantly surprised. Correction, you will be surprised, whether it is pleasant may be whether you like what you hear. Come a long way since she was a kid.- bevanc
