I've done my (GR) research and here's what I'm gettin'!

[amirm]

Any smart thief would have read my review of GR Research LGK and would not take that. On schiit gear, the thief wouldn't even need research. He would look at the name and walk away. So well done on all fronts! It is rare that we see a member as smart as you when it comes to equipment choices.

Say, how did you pick other item in the appartment? I venture a guess that for furniture you have unassembled IKEA kits? if so, bravo on that too.

Perfect synergy system.

As long its not powerd on, all will be in harmony.

2.0 desk setup:

DAC: Shit Audio Yggdrasil OG (original gangster variant)

Heard great things about this baby, great PRAT, micro dynamics and what they call "moffat bass".

I also live in a sketchy apartment building so if anyone breaks in, I doubt they will want to carry out a 30 pound DAC in 2022!

Amp: Chord Electronics Anni

Again, do to my living situation, I'm worried about getting my stuff stolen. My thinking is having an amp that looks like a child's Fischer Price toy will deter or be ignored by a thief.

This baby also puts out a bigly 10 watts into 8 Ohms!

Speakers: GR Research LGK 2.0

Love these little jokers! I'm really sensitive to low frequency's and bass so I wanted a pair that produce none.

Also picking up one of their B24 power cables to plug into my Yggy. Hoping it will improve its linearity.

Thoughts on my system?

Don't forget a diamond coated ceramic riser for the power wire, maple pith for the little Jokers and to turn everything else off in apartment during your session. You don't want any chance off any live cord in place transmitting RF to your tube connectors.
Oh and if possible try a blind AB between "muted" and "on" and let us know which one you subjectively prefer most often.

It won't change a thing other than the weight of your wallet and maybe make you think you are making change but in effect there is no change.

They are a tiny woofer one way speaker and as such one cannot expect much from them. They where tested here at ASR recently.

GR Research LGK 2.0 Speaker Review (A Joke)

This is a review and detailed measurements of the GR Research "Little Giant Killer" (LGK) 2.0 bookshelf speaker. It comes in various forms from a kit ($313) to fully finished pair ($1,038). Our DIY expert @Rick Sykora built my sample using the flatpack ($100): Rick had to do the round over on...

This is sheldon cooper level of not being able to figure out sarcasm / satire.

Hey! My entire apartment is Ikea-furnished and I love all of it! lol

The system specified forgot the giant poster of Danny’s face.

Placed between the LGK’s, it serves to remind you that the sound is faster because of floor spacers and tube connectors. You might forget otherwise.

Its hard to think about a sytem with less bang for the buck? What is it 5k??

RFLMAO... It was so obvious that I figured this guy must be for realz. hehe.

We all got a few chuckles out of the post and the comments.

 

[Katji]

Is this post meant satirically by any chance?

Sorry, honest question.:
The part on GR, the cables and other portions seem so far off for someone choosing this forum for advice.

Yes indeed - I clicked on the post in RSS, loved it, eager to see the rest, then i got a bit confused.

... + I don't like how that guy's face comes to mind when the name is mentioned. Let it fade soon.

You should also consider their speaker cables. They make "a massive difference, there's no comparison".

The spelling of Schitt was the first tell. Bravo.

Childish, I know.I could not help myself. Lift them far from the floor to the ceiling! Best halfway.

The username was surely the first?

I can’t spell. I let the web interface handle that!

 

[DMill]

Based on your choices, I really don’t think anyone would want to steal any of it.

The audiophile thiefes have pity with him, and bring him the next day at least some speakers.

Well. This is an international forum. How do you think we who do that do not have English as a mother tongue do?

Do you know English?

I saw a TV show about language where the presenter said: We (Swedes) both underestimate and overestimate our ability to speak (and write) English. Underestimates: We can have a fluent conversation with Englishmen without even reflecting on the fact that we speak English. Overestimates: If we...
