Tubes arrived safely, are exactly as described, and sound sublime in my Woo WA2. Always a pleasure to work with Rob. Thank you again for making this a smooth and easy transaction!

The Woo WA6 amp is as described, is fantastic sounding, and @kickserve16 is an amazing person to work with! With excellent communication at every step along the way I'd happily buy from him again. Much appreciated!!

The Android Tidal app has a default setting of "High" for Wi-Fi streaming (yellow light only). Setting this to "Max" allows for higher resolution streams (yellow, green, and blue lights). Settings > Audio & Playback > Quality: Wi-Fi Streaming > Max Would assume that iPhone has a similar setting

Somewhat depends on the level at which you listen as well as the input source feeding the amp. If feeding directly from a DAC, does your DAC have variable output voltage, or is it the nominal 2V SE and 4V Balanced. To put this in perspective DMS recently gave his opinions on the Tungsten and...

With a Janka hardness of 2,960 lbf (14,140 N), it truly is hard to beat Cocobolo :) African Blackwood gets there, but I don't think I've ever seen an Atrium in that species ... absolutely in love with my stabilized Maple Atrium, but one can dream

Yep, I did email Mimic about a week back and got this response from TJ "Hey there, You’re approximately 4th in line currently, so I’m hoping I’ll have it out by end of month." Fingers crossed for the end of May! (ordered on Nov 11, 2023 - #4783)

Good info! I picked up an AKM DS Gungnir recently with a "C" serial (build date unknown) - seems they used the "C" serial for both initially then.

I thought the AKM DS version serial started with a "C" ... - serial "C" - AKM DS - serial "06" - MB A1 rev - serial "B" - MB A2 rev - serial "L" - MB A2 rev w/o VXCO There are supposedly a few "06" serials with a silent MB A2 rev, and then something referred to as "bleached", but without...

Fortune and luck are often the modest man's way of saying that he busted his hump every step of the way. Usually goes hand-in-hand with whole heartedly welcoming opportunity across the threshold whenever it comes knocking. Keep on keeping on Tom, you are an inspiration! (whether you want to be...

Asgard 3 is as described and sounds great :) Thank you for a smooth and easy transaction, much appreciated!

You'd be thrilled by the Yggy+ chassis design. Remove 4x screws and the top cover is released from the chassis, hinge it forward, disconnect the ribbon cable, and that's it! Now to peruse the various classifieds and see if I can snipe some LIM cards to play with :eyes:

PM sent

Going to counter this by saying there is a rare opportunity right now to order the Yggy+ GS2 with Unison, and then add-on the MIB boards, for $50 less than the Yggy+ MIB by itself. This gives you the option to swap between the OG A1 boards as well as the MIB boards with not too much effort...

OG A1 is indeed a formidable hunk of metal! Sounds like you've done your homework and all I can say is take your time on the card swap. Go slow, stay organized, and be ready for lots and lots of tiny screws. The newer Yggy+ chassis made this easier, but there are plenty of YT resources for how...

Damn fine looking resin/stabilzed Atrium you've got there! Listening to Folkvangr work it's magic on a pair of stabilized Maple Atrium's as I type this :)

Any idea how the Mimic Audio orders are handled in comparison to the Modhouse direct orders? I ordered through Mimic on Nov 11 during Dallas CanJam, but not a peep since then.

The graphic was sourced from SBAF and is based on the jargon that has been defined and used frequently over there. I lurk SBAF for information, but come to Head-Fi for information and, perhaps more importantly, socialization. The Head-Fi crowd is a bit more tolerant of the tongue-in-cheek...

Most likely this mod.

Excellent interview, thank you @L0rdGwyn for doing this!

And that Caldera pads are Left and Right side specific. The pad contours both front to back and top to bottom. Having the seam at the bottom allows orientation without explicit markings. To my knowledge the rest of the ZMF pad lineup can be used on either side equivalently. Contours from front...
