i have been impressed by a small monitor system that i found better than bigger much more expensive ones in the same size room. So i am hoping Al would admit me in the future if i go into mini monitor.
You will need more digitally sourced LPs

Ceassaro had a couple of small speakers in Munich that sounded very good. One was a floorstander and the other a MTM standmount.i have been impressed by a small monitor system that i found better than bigger much more expensive ones in the same size room.

Maybe Al can describe what he means by "natural". I mean, natural is as natural does. But what IS natural? And what DOES it do?
What is Ian's impression ? Has he upgrade/ downgraded his Iggy ?Upgrade of Schiit Yggdrasil Analog 2 DAC to Schiit Yggdrasil LIM DAC
This is an update from October 2022, in my "catch-up" series that started a few days ago.
The difference between the Yggdrasil versions (the former Analog 2 DAC is now called OG) is explained on the Schiit website (now featuring the Yggdrasil+ DAC, below link goes directly to it):

At first I heard the LIM (Less Is More) DAC in October 2021, and I reported back then in the comments section on this page, below the review of the DAC (scroll down about 2/5 of the page):
Schiit Audio Yggdrasil Less is More Review
It is no secret that I have been a big fan of Mike Moffat and his DAC designs over the years. Way back when, near the infancy of digital playback, I purchased a Theta Digital DS Pro Basic DAC. Hooking that up via the coax digital output of my Phillips CD player was a revelation. Loved the deep b...audiophilestyle.com
My initial impressions were negative, perhaps from an insufficiently broken in unit, but then I heard the LIM DAC again in September 2022, with a vastly more favorable impression that caused me to order the LIM boards which a friend installed for me last October (Schiit DACs are indeed upgradeable just as the manufacturer advertises).
That second report of comparison between the two DAC versions (from Sept 16, 2022) is found also in the above link, if you scroll down about 3/5 of the page.
I am still very happy with this change. A major upgrade in sound, which only cost me $ 500 with taxes and shipping.
I've upgraded my Yggy to the LIM and then very recently to the LIM+. The latter has a NOS mode but for all practical purposes it makes no difference to the sound. The upgrade from the OG to the LIM was significant though! The LIM is much much better.What is Ian's impression ? Has he upgrade/ downgraded his Iggy ?

Nice gear Octave .
That HP 700 / RE320 is a very nice combo .
How would you describe the sonic differences between for example the CAT pre / JL7 combo you heard at Ian and your octave pre / power ?
Have you compared the JL7 to a JL2 signature? Just wondering the difference...Nice gear Octave .
