This is Pennsylvania Covid-19 related. There are certain drawbacks to lockdown. One is that our State Wine and Spirits stores have been closed. After a month, they opened the webstore, but only about 1 in 1000 could get through. Slowly this has been getting better. And finally they started curbside, but that is very recent.

Bigger Ben finally was delivered today, and I’ve been testing a bunch of headphones on it . Really happy with the purchase so far:

Fantastic!

Looking forward to your thoughts and impressions. :+1:t4:

I think I’m going to marry every woman I go on a 3rd date with, so I’m not the best person to give initial impressions since they’ll almost always be positive. So far everything sounds very good on it. One minor issue was a severe hum from my speakers when I first connected them, but that ended up being a non-working power tube. Once I swapped it, everything has been dead silent. Once I get more time in, I will post some thoughts on the dedicated thread

Can you listen to your speakers sitting at your chair?

Yes, I tried them first and they sound great. There is no override when you plug a pair of headphones in, so they continue playing at the same time. Because of that I unplugged them for now, and I guess I will need to plug them back in when I plan to use them. I’m much more of a headphone person than I am speakers, but it’s really nice to have the option for both.

Edit: the speakers are toed in a lot more than they appear in that photo.

Ah ok. What I was wondering. Almost be coming for the side!

LS50 is a big speaker for close listening :stuck_out_tongue:

Really love to hear what you think of it.

Everything is sounding great off it so far, but I’ve been swapping headphones, speakers, and iems trying to find a bad pairing so often that I haven’t had a chance to sit down and put my finger on exactly what it’s doing. I got rid of my Andromedas, but I’d have liked to have seen what a really sensitive iem like that sounded like off of it. If I leave my phone within 6 inches or so, I will catch some feedback, but aside from that it’s been dead silent with everything. Right now I have my HD600s going, and I’ve listened to everything in this pic, plus KEF LS50s, and my LCD-i4s. Everything has been great:

Time to take it to your local beach. Rollerblades are so 1990s, office chair wheels are the new hotness.

The picture cuts it off but the support actually goes up and screws into some denim cutoffs.
