Bad Guy Good Audio Reviews (A Million views?) Part 3/4

A kind soul on HFG leant me their Punch :raised_hands:

Loving it so far. Interestingly, it didn’t grab me when listening on my desktop rig but there’s great synergy with the R4 :ok_hand: Man I love this DAP. If only it worked it’s magic on my C12…

Picked a Kiwi Ears Cadenza the other day - that thing kicks ass.

All this KE gear is making me quite interested in the Aether!

What was your desktop set up, out of curiosity?

Qobuz > Node Nano > Singxer SU-1 > Exogal Comet+ > Auralic Taurus mk. II. I’ve got a few other amps, but I ripped it all apart last weekend to use some of the gear for a recording session. This is what I’d say is my primary listening chain.

I wasn’t ever expecting to have such an elaborate chain. I have actually just made an effort to simplify it because I thought I didn’t need half of this stuff, but alas… I can hear differences in depth, image sharpness, holography for instance when I took the DDC out of the chain. It was the opposite of what I expected to hear because it was a fairly cheap DDC, but I heard it, so it must stay!

That’s why we’re in this hobby, brother. Those small differences that only we can hear. Congrats, that’s a dope set up!

55 degrees in February is a long way from 155 in August ( asphalt temperature).

I’m slowly gearing up to peak in Jun to August which is so hot it melts my shoes :athletic_shoe:. 1 pair lasts 1 summer. The asphalt is like a frypan I feel sorry for pets that get walked on asphalt that gets over 150F. I measured. Having your animal torso 8 inches above that is bad and their paws must be blisters by end of Summer.

Summer is hot as hell over here as well. It’s already warmish during day time. Man you can’t imagine what its like for wild dogs in the summer, just crazy.

150F asphalt is no joke…can’t even imagine how that feels on bare paws. It’s wild how we sometimes don’t realize how much heat radiates off the ground.

I need to get on this workout grind… I’m feeling like an old man physically. It has to come down to the sedentary life style we all live now a days.

No bueno.
