If anyone is into electrostatic headphones in Chicago area you should call Ray Samuels and see if you could stop by to hear his latest, the B-21 Raider, it is truly a beast. I just got back from Rays listening to it with his SR-X9000, the Shangri-La Jr and the Audeze CRBN. It also has his best ever solid state amplifier included as well. Best listening experience I have had with any setup.

What DAC does he use?

What DAC does he use?

There is no DAC built. Your choice of source. It includes 2 RCA inputs so you can connect a phonostage even.

What did you use as a source to listen to it?

Cool guy but no thanks? We are still trying to get over B52 over here.

Also, isn't he like 80 now? He should just enjoy life and retirement - and his Lambo of course.

Hey everyone. I know it’s been a while. Just a note to remind you that Axpona audio expo is happening this weekend Friday-Sunday.

Also going to try to get a smaller meet scheduled for the summer. Keep an eye out for that.

Sonic Frontier SFD-1 mk2
NewOntech Dac07
Headamp Glite mk 2 with PSU
Headamp GS-1 mk2
NITSCH Sound Pietus Maximus (on loan to me)
Playback Designs Merlot is technically spare but I would be super sad if it got damaged somehow.
Shanling ET-3

See you all at AXPONA
