NoValidTitle Posted September 23, 2011 Author Report Posted September 23, 2011 B22 shipping tomorrow morning. Never heard the LCD2 with B22, but I bet it's a nice combo. Awesome! Wait... don't you have LCD2s? Quote
swt61 Posted September 23, 2011 Report Posted September 23, 2011 Sweet, thanks! The B22 is paid for and I just ordered some LCDs from TTVJ. Until I can really decide on what to use as a source it looks like: MBA > iBasso D10 Aux (lol) > B22 > LCD-2.2 Don't laugh, but I'm really considering a Wadia or Cambridge iPod dock, as source to my Beta22. It would just de-clutter my listening area greatly. Quote
swt61 Posted September 23, 2011 Report Posted September 23, 2011 Don't laugh, but I'm really considering a Wadia or Cambridge iPod dock + DAC, as source to my Beta22. It would just de-clutter my listening area greatly. Quote

NoValidTitle Posted September 23, 2011 Author Report Posted September 23, 2011 WTF did I just do? So that's how you got 7000 posts. Quote
blessingx Posted September 23, 2011 Report Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) Awesome! Wait... don't you have LCD2s?Not for awhile. Enjoyed, but on Team Reverb. And I take back that I never heard the LCD2 with the B22. Forgot as it's been a while. ((( ( Edited September 24, 2011 by blessingx Quote
johnwmclean Posted September 24, 2011 Report Posted September 24, 2011 (edited) The β22 and LCD’s go together like flies on shit. A hearty congratulation to your most excellent purchase. Edited October 5, 2011 by johnwmclean Quote
rhythmdevils Posted September 26, 2011 Report Posted September 26, 2011 It's cool seeing a thread like this about a rig for 4k instead of a bassy phone for 25. Quote
NoValidTitle Posted September 27, 2011 Author Report Posted September 27, 2011 It's cool seeing a thread like this about a rig for 4k instead of a bassy phone for 25. Funny you should say that. My friend came to me today for help picking headphones and her budget was $25. haha Quote
NoValidTitle Posted September 30, 2011 Author Report Posted September 30, 2011 Any opinions on the PS Audio PWD? Seems nice on paper, time to dig for some info. Quote
swt61 Posted September 30, 2011 Report Posted September 30, 2011 I think the Monkey is pretty happy with his. I've not read a bad review of it. Quote
jvlgato Posted September 30, 2011 Report Posted September 30, 2011 (edited) Got mine a month or two ago and love it. But honeymoon is not over ... Edited September 30, 2011 by jvlgato Quote

NoValidTitle Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Posted October 4, 2011 So far the B22 + LCD2.2 has been very pleasing. The sound sig is just to my liking. I was hoping they wouldn't be too bass heavy since people seem to rave about the bass on the Audeze. I was pleased to hear it's not too much as I'm not a bass head. The B22 seems to be a great pairing thus far. For shits and giggles I plugged the LCD2 straight into my iPod Shuffle () and also my D10. That was a fun little test that shows just what a great amp can do. I snagged a black PS Audio PWD new for $1700 and that should be here on Friday. Pretty psyched. Now I need to make some interconnects. Quote
manaox2 Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 Really nice sounding rig. The PWD is a really nice DAC, sounds like you got a great deal on it. Quote
Asr Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 Looks like I will be picking up Rics B22 as well as some new LCD-2s. FYI: http://www.head-fi.org/t/547674/fs-nugget-audio-b22 (see the B22 usage note) Quote
NoValidTitle Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Posted October 4, 2011 FYI: http://www.head-fi.o...ugget-audio-b22 (see the B22 usage note) Thanks. Ric made me aware of this and I also recalled reading it a few years ago on a B22 thread somewhere. I already had a habbit of lowering the volume on all amps I've own before I do anything. Quote
nikongod Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 Sorry for the long delay. here is the MPX3 PSU, taken from my toaster-style MPX3. Its pretty much the same on the PCB. I prefer the MPX3 power supply to the supra PSU for safety and awesomeness. an extra RC cell is worth a lot in my book. Quote
swt61 Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 Sounds like a great rig, that's going to get even greater in a few days. Nice work securing awesome gear. Quote
Voltron Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 If I were buying a new rig I'd probably pick up the Beta22 that Nate built, that's for sale elsewhere. Then get the latest version of the Audeze LCD-2. Nice job recommending the exact rig he bought! Quote

Now I need to make some interconnects. Good choice on the PWD (I presume network card?) - digital streaming is by far the best way to do computer audio (async + no interface timing error + computer not in the listening room). Once you have your UPNP server / controlling point all set up, it would be really easy to migrate to a better digital steamer (Linn Akurate, for example, or MDS-i for a one-box speaker solution - you add the speakers).

No network card. I have an 11" Mackbook Air that will be connected to the PWD with USB. I thought about the network card but I'm not sure I like the idea of the interface. I just worry about the touch interface being cumbersome. Quote
morphsci Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 Ps audio has their e-lyric software, which is free for the computer version and $9.99 for the iPhone/iPad app. Quote
