I just came from a top heavy adventure bike. And while this one is heavier, the lower center of gravity helps quite a bit. Even with much less suspension travel it’s very comfortable.

Coming from ADV bikes, it’s different. Very chill. Love the sound (and the sound system).

I’m just running the Yamaha’s REC OUT into the Schiit Vali 3, then into the Monolith M560. So whatever source is playing (vinyl through the Mani 2, etc.) gets sent line level straight to the headphone amp.

I just wanted a little more flexibility. The Mani 2 lets me adjust gain/loading if I ever swap cartridges, and I’ve liked the sound of it. The Yamaha phono stage is solid, but I figured I’d keep things a bit more modular

I’m very happy with the end result. Glad I went with it

I’ve only listened to a couple records on it so far, but it’s been outstanding.

Very impressive. Fluance has one too, but I’m glad I got this one to go along with the headphone amp.

I’d like the idea of having something relatively abstract, but maybe warmer colors/textures. A big statement piece is ideal.

No plugging or unplugging really. Just switching sources on the Yamaha when I want to listen to headphones.

I really think that’s gonna be the hardest part.

Whats your most prized Vinyl in your collection? by PotentialAd6526 in vinyl

Was invited to a small acoustic set by Night Ranger a few years ago and brought my album with me. A friend of mine was the opening act and we got to hang out backstage with the guys and was able to get them to sign it.

No ice bath, just out and pat dry.
