Legends of the trade.

I recognize Craig (Eddie Current) and Mike (Theta and Schiit) who's the other guy?

The sexy and great sounding Eddie Current Black Widow with an unreleased Cavalli Audio amp on top.

this was an awesome shoot out both amps were feed by the gungnir coax from the hilo. I A/B with my paradox* each had there pluses. The black widow had more detail, clarity, more bass slam and bigger soundstage. while the cavalli had this great presentation slightly sweet without being syrup. The mids were to die for the tremble was airy. But both amps were very close to each other. Honestly it came down to preference more than anything else.

*I first a/b my paradox against SFOcit hd650 (with the mods that "the messiah formerly known as Marvin" recommended I believe) out of the black widow and I perfered the paradox.

Frankly I'm rather surprised nobody has commented on the Studio and it's pairing with the Vinyl rig and HD800. You guys scared of the price or what? If there's better headphone sound to be had, I haven't heard it. Not to mention the studio was the amp used for the DAC off as well.

the studio vinyl rig was goooooooodddddd. However for some reason I still preferred the theta>yggy (warmed up 2 days)>levi>codeX but that might have been the tubes? and the music (at canjam I was listening to muddy waters and very few reggae songs can compete with the legend) tell you what find some Artie shaw's Nightmare and I'll test again.

There's always a surprise at every Changstar meet.

Jason and Moffat were tight lipped... But I strongly suspected something was different on THAT Bifrost... I did hear someone say "ReDACed^2", but no idea what that means.

Tonality is warm, especially after settling in. Does not sound like NOS. Thank you jebus! Treble sounded better in the afternoon. I guess it only needs a 3 hour warm-up.

Those tin cans on the Lyr 2 are "solid state" tubes. An experiment. No idea if they will be released. They are cannot be stuck into other tube amps. Crack, poof! Anyways, the SS tubes offer a different take on the usual Lyr 2 warm sound. Lyr 2 now becomes fast, precise, lean, and mean.

this set up with the above two amp set up (black widow & cavalli fallen + gungnir) were eye opening/best of show*. Yes the higher stuff was better but not as much as you think. I wanted to a/b/c the solid lyr/black widow/ cavalli GHOSTWATER out of the [redacted^2] but alas that will have to be left for another meet.

*didn't try the geek v2 setup everyone was raving about I use the time they were listening to the v2+lekerton to listen to the studio, black widow, and liquid glass (there was a line for all) so that might have changed the above statement.

Man, this makes me want to host one here in India - gurubhai, Sholay, Thad .... Any ideas? Any body else that I'm missing?

I am all for a meet. Unfortunately, their just aren't many headphone enthusiasts here locally. Even sholay has ditched me and moved to Bangalore and managed to finally rob me of my amp in the process. $:-\$
Do let me know if one of you were to visit Delhi, would be great to hang out with you guys.

Gurubhai, you let me know if you can make it to Chennai... I would love for you to check out my orthos (and the Stax) and give me your expert opinion. And forget these guys going oooh and aaahh about Noor... we will get the authentic masala dosa and Chennai filter coffee

Apparently this one is a one of a kind and won't be produced.
