And subjectively, it sounds very good as a headphone amp.<br />Keep up the good work: hope your air stays breathable.<br />PhilPhilFromTOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063597190515177345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781727111866727703.post-27551872280296510852020-09-15T17:27:26.843-07:002020-09-15T17:27:26.843-07:00Hi Freddie,

Tube amps are "hot", but this feels warm to touch after an hour and certainly won't be burning any fingers. I would give it some ventilation however and as per the 4-hour noise measurements above, I have not noticed any issues with function or sound quality.<br /><br />In my Archimagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642574001287787545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781727111866727703.post-76960371558638837892020-09-15T17:16:57.189-07:002020-09-15T17:16:57.189-07:00Hey Jim,

With the way things are looking and smelling here in Vancouver, it literally feels like a weight of depression pushing down on the West Coast. I feel bad for those in Cali/Oregon/Washington living near these fires.<br /><br />Saw the news item about vinyl as well.<br /><br />LOL Rogan and his $100M deal.

I really enjoy the mix of technical insights, scientific measurements, and a relaxed attitude!<br /><br />Lately I have been looking more and more at "studio gear" and I'm thinking of buying an FS R BE, as it seems so versatile.

I am also very happy with the ADI-2 Pro FS R BE as an ADC, not mainly because of it’s great measurement, but mainly because of it’s “sound”, as it does sound very transparent.
