Lol. Way to treat a new member. I will be sure to pass this hazing with flying colors. It should be delivered on Tuesday, so be sure to tune in by the end of the week. Have your positive reps on standby.

You were kinda asking for it with that first post of yours.

Not yet, we’re still waiting for 230V wall-warts. We should have them in a couple of weeks.

Now I find out, on HF, that they have been sending this same email out for a while. By whenever I'll probably have moved on to thinking about some other gadget  p;)

Watch out, I think a certain Texas governor has attracted criminal charges for a similar premise...

We don't really haze here contrary to public perception. Yes, I publicly branded a few with a scarlet letter, but to only those who came here simply because HF kicked them out. But honestly, if someone came here and asked, what's a good $800 setup, we'd answer that seriously.

Interested to know your thoughts on Wyrd and what associated equipment you used. I'm not sure I liked the effect with the M7's stock USB, but I did like it with the Gungnir and OR5.

Interesting, mind explaining?

More focus, precision, delineation, but AGD-M7 via stock USB has some stridency. Stridency + focused sound (Wyrd) = focused stridency.

Hmm, I think i see what you mean. Basically the Wyrd, in doing its job, let too much of the M7's (USB) signature flow through, which, in this particular case, wasn't a good thing. My chain involves PC/laptop - USB - Gungnir - BH Crack/Speedball - HD650. However, I've been really happy with the sound with PC as source, but there is a significant drop in clarity and performance using my laptop. Everything is more foggy, with reduced clarity, that I am hoping the Wyrd will solve. If it improves things with the PC setup, that'd be a welcome bonus, and I may just have to purchase a second one. From the descriptions here so far, it looks like most USB setups do benefit, to varied degrees, from the Wyrd.

So I'm not the only one who experienced a negative change with the Wyrd...

The Wyrd is in the house. I was taken by surprise by how tiny it is. It is tiny compared to the Gungnir. Is it the same size as the Modi/Magni/Vali etc? Been listening to it all afternoon, but will reserve reactions for later.
