Firefighters in London wept and embraced each other as fire stations, including the UK's oldest, closed on Thursday due to cuts.
There are fears that the closures will endanger the public as 10 London stations closed their doors for the last time, as part of a drive to make £45 million worth of savings over the next two years.
The shutdowns mean 552 firefighter jobs and 14 engines are also being cut from the capital's brigade after seven London boroughs failed last year to legally challenge the closures.
Clerkenwell station, which is 140 years old, closed after Green Watch attended their final call: a blaze at block of flats in Regents Park near King's Cross station.
Firemen and women left, in civilian clothes, saying they had been told by their bosses they could not wear their uniforms. Supporters clapped as they departed.

Teaming up for the last time: Firefighters at Westminster Fire Station are dismissed as part of a £29 million cost cutting plan which involves the loss of 550 firefighters' jobs
Alex Baddock, who has worked at the station for 29 years cried as he left the building.
"This is a sad, sad day. Boris Johnson doesn't know what he's doing."
About 50 residents and firefighters gathered for the final watch at Westminster Fire Station on Horseferry Road.
Artemis Kassi, 42, a local mother who was there with her six-year-old daughter Maryam, has been campaigning to save the 107-year-old station. She told the Evening Standard: "I am angry, appalled and, frankly, disgusted, that it has come to this. We are here to show our support, thanks and recognition to the firefighters who have served our community so well."
Paul Embery, London regional secretary of the Fire Brigades Union (FBU), said: "Boris Johnson will have blood on his hands. It will be only a matter of time before someone dies because a fire engine did not get to them in time.
"These stations have protected generations of Londoners, and they are as necessary now as they ever were."
James Cleverly, chairman of London Fire Brigade, said: "The brigade is faced with significant budget cuts which mean that changes to the service are inevitable and we are able to make those changes without compulsory redundancies.
"The firefighters based at the stations closing will now transfer to other stations and continue the excellent work they do to prevent fires, which is vital in changing the behaviours that start fires in the first place."
"Londoners will continue to receive one of the fastest emergency response times in the world from the London Fire Brigade," he said.
Belsize, Bow, Downham, , Kingsland, Knightsbridge, Silvertown, Southwark, and Woolwich stations also closed today.

I want to discuss three articles that I basically agree with to point out how they miss the key issue and thus are somewhat misleading. I'm glad to see these three articles being published but it's a case of -to quote Lenin- two steps forward, one step back.

The Israeli media portrays Israeli brass and ex-brass who oppose Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak on the Iran issue as a group whose assessment is based solely on a cold hard analysis of the situation. Unfortunately, there is a reasonable possibility that the Israeli brass and ex-brass themselves have piggy-backed their agenda to the Iranian debate.

In recent weeks, the Obama administration has claimed that al Qaeda "is on a path of decline that will be difficult to reverse" and the US State Department has even declared that the "war on terror is over." But the recent arrests in Spain of three suspected al Qaeda terrorists, accused of plotting an airborne attack on a shopping mall near Gibraltar, suggests that Obama's triumphalism may be premature.

Iran's relative situation has deteriorated. To regain a sense of leadership and invulnerability – as well as to vindicate Shia Islam over the recent Sunni triumphs in the region – Iran needs a big strategic win. She needs a trump card over the emerging Sunni centers of gravity in Cairo and Ankara.

The issue of forced marriage is especially acute in Catalonia, where the Muslim population has skyrocketed in recent years. Catalonia, a region with 7.5 million inhabitants, is now home to an estimated 400,000 Muslims, up from 30,000 in the 1980s.

Prosperity has met its match. Regulation will kill prosperity by stealth unless we the people wake up to what's going on. We are wildly, insanely overregulated today, and if we don't attack the idea of the regulatory state on those terms – on the premise that regulation itself is mostly a bad thing, and we need far less of it than we have – then we will never recover.

The Egyptians are finally learning that terrorism is a double-edged sword, and that those who approve of terror activities will one day find themselves targeted by the same terrorists.

The circumstances that were created after the murder of the Egyptian soldiers and the failure of the terror act against Israel proves the truth of the saying: "Success has many fathers, but failure is an orphan." We can only imagine how great would be the cries of joy in Gaza if 18 Israeli soldiers had been killed, heaven forbid, instead of Egyptians.

Tom Friedman's pro-PLO stance dates back to his active involvement, while at Brandeis University, in the pro-Arafat radical-Left "Middle East Peace Group" and "Breirah" organizations. It was intensified during his role as the AP's and NY Times' reporter in Lebanon. There he played down Arafat's and Abbas' rape and plunder of Lebanon and their strong ties with international terrorism, while expressing his appreciation of the PLO's protection of foreign media in Beirut.

For years the Egyptians have been trying to erode the Sinai force restrictions set in the peace treaty they signed with Israel. Force restrictions that were a necessary condition for Israel agreeing to restore the Sinai to Egyptian control. The Egyptians see the force restrictions as impinging on their sovereignty. Israel always considered the force restrictions as critical for the Jewish State's national security.

Today, control over all major military spending decisions remain exclusively in the hands of political appointees, and soldiers, sailors and airmen are left with the job of trying to defend their country and themselves with the inferior results of decisions made by politicians.

Israel's "friends" abroad simply can't seem to get out of their minds the idea that the country faces such terrible threats that it must make big concessions and beg for peace with the Palestinians on just about any terms, or try to appease hostile surrounding countries in order to stave off their wrath.

India has just conducted an unprecedented four-day port visit in Haifa, during which Indian sailors roamed Israel as American sailors have for many years, and joint ceremonies were held with the local population. A naval visit to Israel is a big political signal; India would not be sending it lightly.

The cloud, with butterflies?
No, I don't think it means she's, um, unwell in the mind or crazy, cuckoo, demented, deranged, insane, loony, mad, nuts, nutty, off her rocker, psycho, psychopathic, psychotic, or schizophrenic.
To the contrary, I think it means she's recovering from a temporary form of maniacal loony-tunes 'n' marrie melodies! She's realizing she's not gonna get married without Leo participating willingly at every stage. She's coming to her senses.
Now she's gotta restore.
I think Trudeau may have just enough biblical blood in his veins to represent the cloud-with-butterflies as a symbol of God's creation. Or, in this case, re-creation. God is rescuing beloved creature Alex from her own folly — drifting away from reality into a wish-fulfilment fantasy where she get's to decide everything and "her man" (whoever he is, but in this case Leo) is really "her ornament", her "arm candy", or whatever metaphor you choose to characterize the temporary condition.
It's not something that sets her apart from the rest of us flawed humans, but it is an aberration.
Sorry, friend Doughfoot, but that's the best I can do to reach eye-to-eye agreement with you.
It's the cloud of bad weed she's been smokin.
"It's the cloud of bad weed she's been smokin."
Nah, doesn't fit the circs.
Is there pie in that sky?
I read a Rolling Stone interview with GBT a liitle while back, and he mentioned that its only recently that cartoonists have been allowed to do a week of reruns, and actually have a vacation. I can't begrudge him the need – we're all human, and he's not obligated to keep me freshly entertained 365 days a year.
That's not butterflies, it's sea gulls.
Sea gulls? Cuckoos, surely – she is living in cloud cuckoo land…
@Plods with Beer ( did I mention beer? )
"Is there pie in that sky?"
Pi maybe.
"That's not butterflies, it's sea gulls."
Mini-gulls. Nah, milli-gulls. Micro-gulls?
Great thinks mind alike. I spelled it that way originally, then went back and changed it.
I finally got it: pico-gulls!

Fashion Rocks: Welsh Singer Duffy Tells of Discovering Black Music
"I'm not going to lie to you and say I knew who the Game was."
Forgive Duffy, the 24-year-old breakout singer from Wales, if she seems like a bit of a naif. She doesn't use a stylist, she told us at Condé Nast's Fashion Rocks concert — she wears her mother's hand-me-downs. ("Always a good pair of tight jeans — that's what she taught me. She used to sit in the bath for hours trying to make them fit.") And she's still learning about the music world: "Well, I'm just getting into kind of the American hip-hop scene," she said, "and I had the luxury of speaking to…" Here she forgot who it was who did a version of one of her songs; her rep couldn't remember, either. Then it came to her: "The Game! So the Game covered my song 'Mercy,' he kind of did a version with Cool and Dre, and they put a rap on it. I'm not going to lie to you and say I knew who the Game was, [and] I may not have owned one of his records, [but] at that point I got to speak to him on the phone and I bought one of his records. So I'm slowly kind of understanding American black music, which I think is amazing."

Re the Princess Victoria 31 January 1953, I see from the Daily Telegraph Obituaries today one to Rear Admiral "Mack" McArdle and the award of a George medal for a rescue of a man from the sea.
I remember the incident as I would imagine many do, as someone said after the Inquiry, if the "Princess Victoria had been as stout as the men who manned her she would be here today"
Yours aye,
31st January 2008, 21:08
Around the Tasman Sea when we heard the sad news on the BBC overseas service. Our old man was from N. Ireland. I can't remember the details but he reckoned that it was "a stain on our cloth" due to the higher ratio of crew survivors compared with passengers.

I dont think your dad had much to worry about, dont think there were any stains that night.
My father was captain of the SS Orchy belonging to Sloans of Glasgow and it was him that found the Princess Victoria. He,with a few other ships set out from anchor in Belfast Lough to assist in the search for her. A brave act from brave men. Orchy was light ship and despite being among the survivors they could not get anyone out of the sea despite their efforts.
Some wonderful efforts that night including if I remember correctly the coxn from HMS Contest diving into the water to recover survivors.
Dad didnt talk about it much but I know he was very proud of the efforts of his men and all the seafarers who took part in the search and rescue that night. The lifeboat men were outstanding that night, a shining example of their work.
In 2003 I was at a big memorial event with services in both Larne and Stranrar and P and O provided a ferry, "European Highlander" for all relatives and she stopped over the site to lay wreaths, in company with a minesweeper who did the same. A very very moving time for all concerned.
One thing that always hung heavily on my dad was that despite finding the ship he couldnt do much more even though he was instramental in helping the rescue.
There are several good books about the whole incident but they may be out of print now.
1st February 2008, 09:31
To think, we very nearly had another similar incident, on the same day, with the Riverdance.
21st October 2010, 16:28
I was interested to read re Captain Matheson and the Princess Victoria.I worked for Wm.Sloan & co and had one trip on the Orchy under Captain Whyte,Hugh Matheson 'first, John Campbell 'second' . It was Coronation Year in Bristol and we loaded cars for Belfast mainly Rileys'
The loss of the Victoria was very fresh in everyone's minds, but when it did come into conversation there were some harrowing observations made particularly,despite the skill of Capt.Matheson,the frustration of being able to do so little.
As this was my first trip on a working vessel I have many memories albeit it was over fifty years ago

A summer of rain has left its mark on South Carolina, undermining dozens of roads, flooding neighborhoods from the mountains to the coast and ruining the South Carolina Botanical Gardens.
It may not be over. With soil moisture at near-record levels, emergency officials worry that if a decaying tropical storm moves over the state and brings more torrential rains, the results could be disastrous.
A volunteer reported to the National Weather Service that parts of Pickens County have received more than 60 inches of rain already in 2013 over the average yearly total. Nearly half of the state's 46 counties have seen at least 40 inches of rain so far.
Here are the heaviest rainfall totals reported in each South Carolina county so far in 2013 by volunteers in the National Weather Service's Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network program. Chester, Chesterfield, Dillon, Fairfield, Lee and Marion counties had incomplete data.

Resolution Trust Corporation:
Ineffective Management of HomeFed Bank Environmental Services Contracting
GGD-94-62: Published: Dec 28, 1993. Publicly Released: Dec 28, 1993.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 736-0479
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
GAO reviewed the Resolution Trust Corporation's (RTC) management of the HomeFed Bank environmental services contract, focusing on the potential taxpayer liability and costs associated with identifying and managing environmentally sensitive assets.
GAO found that: (1) HomeFed environmental services contracts were not timely completed, and experienced cost overruns because RTC contract management was ineffective; (2) RTC was not able to complete the required services, and its service costs increased because it did not establish realistic lead times, plan workloads, identify potential problems, ensure the adequacy of work statements, or allocate sufficient staff to effectively oversee the contract; (3) RTC contract administration was deficient because it did not communicate project requirements and participant responsibilities effectively, follow contracting procedures, make key staff available to respond to contractor questions, adequately control the assignment of assets, or provide continuity in its management oversight; (4) RTC lack of communication contributed to delays in asset sales and report completion; (5) RTC did not adequately oversee the environmental services contract and the performance of its contracting staff; (6) the majority of RTC environmental assessments were untimely and many of the assessment reports were duplicate orders; and (7) although RTC has developed new record and file management procedures, it needs to strengthen its oversight of the contracting process and ensure that its contracting policies and procedures are effectively implemented.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: On June 30, 1994, RTC's Vice President, Division of Contracts, Oversight and Evaluation, sent a memorandum to all RTC managers and supervisors on the supervision of contract oversight managers. In this memorandum, he reminded the managers and supervisors of the critical nature of the contract administration responsibilities done by their staff, who have been designated as oversight managers for RTC contracts. He emphasized that managers and supervisors must take care to ensure that oversight responsibilities would be performed on a continuous basis by appropriately qualified personnel. However, RTC has been unable to provide evidence that this memorandum has been implemented by headquarters and field offices involved in contract administration activities. Nevertheless, GAO is closing this recommendation at this time because RTC is winding down and will cease operations by the end of 1995.
Recommendation: To improve the management and administration of environmental services contracts, the President and Chief Financial Officer, RTC, should reemphasize the importance of supervision and assessment of staff performance and ensure that the internal control supervision standard is followed.
Agency Affected: Resolution Trust Corporation
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: RTC conducted a staffing study to determine how many people would be needed at each field location to adequately manage and administer contracts, and assigned additional staff for this purpose. However, the beginning of the transition to FDIC with the closing of offices in preparation for RTC's sunset makes it virtually impossible for RTC to fully implement this recommendation. RTC's current efforts are on closing and terminating contracts and identifying contracts that will be transferred to FDIC upon RTC's closure in December 1995. In view of RTC's approaching sunset, and the fact that most of the staff that manage and administer contracts will be released when remaining RTC activities are transferred to FDIC, RTC will not be able to ensure management continuity throughout the full term of currently open contracts. GAO is therefore closing this recommendation at this time.
Recommendation: To improve the management and administration of environmental services contracts, the President and Chief Financial Officer, RTC, should require that sufficient staff are assigned to manage and administer contracts and ensure management continuity throughout the full term of contracts.
Agency Affected: Resolution Trust Corporation
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: On June 30, 1994, RTC's Chief Financial Officer advised GAO that the reorganization of the Office of Contract Operations significantly impacted the field monitoring program by allowing a greater concentration of support and liaison with the field offices. The reorganization increased the staffing in the Office of Contracts by 48 positions. The CFO believes that the increased staffing in the Office of Contracts, and the continuing support provided by the Program Compliance Review Office and the Office of Contractor Oversight and Surveillance through their contract reviews, provide sufficient staff to ensure that RTC's contracting policies and procedures are followed and that deviations from policies and procedures are brought to management's attention.
Recommendation: To improve the management and administration of environmental services contracts, the President and Chief Financial Officer, RTC, should determine whether the Field Monitoring Program is adequately staffed to ensure that RTC contracting policies and procedures are followed under the 10-point reform initiative.

Gungnir came in today. Initial impressions straight out of the box confirms what others have stated. The Gungnir is on a whole other level from the Bifrost. I only have it connected to the Mjolnir single ended via rca at the moment (waiting for balanced PYST cables), but the improvement over the Bifrost is evident. It seems to have the same signature, though the frequency extremes extend further. There's more air from the smooth top end, and better separation and placement of elements as a result. It makes the Bifrost seem flat and "veiled" in comparison. The most apparent improvement though is in the bass. The HD800 at the end of this chain is glorious.

Based on feedback in this thread and the Mjolnir thread; would it be fair to say that a Gungnir + Mjolnir will give too much bass to e.g. a pair of LCD-2 / LCD-3? I know this is a subjective matter, but i find the question prudent to ask.

From everything I've heard it sounds like it just gives more bass control, not necessarily quantity.
Of course I haven't heard them yet; really want to though.
No, it gives plenty of bass, but it's not overdone. There's great control. Bass is full, deep, extended all while
remaining balanced. Meaning, it doesn't overtake the rest of the spectrum.

If anything I thought the Mjolnir could use more bass weight and presence so it would have to be overcooked to fall into bass head mud territory.

I wouldn't say it's bass-heavy at all. It has a very clean and tight low-end. I think everyone keeps commenting on the bass because of the tightened-up, fast, and punchy sound the Gungnir is delivering.
I've reached just over 200 hours on the Gungnir and feel I've given enough time
for everything to smooth out and settle down. While I've listened to a ton of DACs
both over and under $!k, I thought it best to keep my comparisons to the Bifrost,
which was my most recently owned DAC.
The Mjolnir bests the Bifrost across the entire spectrum in every way.
Bass, instrument separation, clarity and details. Most noticeably, I found the
Bifrost veiled details more often and had a more bloated low end.
In certain passages the Bifrost revealed a harshness that wasn't apparent in the
Gungnir, completely smooth and clear. This is something I've not noticed until now.
Bass is one of the biggest additions needed,
Plenty of weight and extension with good control. Nothing muddy or
unnatural about it, just plentiful, musical and clean.
There's an overall fast pace to things, less congestion or clutter.
In the Beginning the top end was detailed, but retained some harshness.
This has completely smoothened out. Very musical, non-metallic or
clinical sound to it. Instruments sound natural without over emphasis.
There's more air to instruments, great sense of space, very easy to follow
a single instrument along. Clutter is non existent.
I tend to dislike full blown reviews as they don't feel like real world experiences.
(With all their audiophile jargon nonsense.)
So the biggest quality I've come to enjoy about Gungnir is its ability
to make bad recordings very enjoyable. While retaining an overall
transparent tonality, everything is rendered as musical. The last time
I enjoyed a DAC this much was my time with the PW DAC.

Great stuff Para, and thanks for your first impression olor1n. Look forward to more.
On the "full blown reviews" thing, and speaking from my very limited experience, one gets into quite a weird, intense, detached space. Tiny differences become large (or disappear) - quite different from normal listening. Afterward, they become tiny again.
Well, there are some very encouraging reports here from people I trust and one or two newcomers who obviously listen carefully.
I look forward to more comparison with Bifrost, simply because it's a familiar reference point for many of us. In my case, comparisons with the original Eastern Electric DAC (stock; tube switched out) or Meier Corda Stagedac also welcome. I'm especially interested in what it does in terms of portraying the natural character (timbre; balance of harmonics and fundamentals) of each instrument/voice at the same time it's separating these instruments.

Thanks Paradoxper (and all others who posted their observations).
I like the style you used for your report.
My unit is still burning in, so I will wait a while to update my findings.
But I would like to add that the base is full, fleshed out, clean, crisp, fast, tight & V musical.
I listen mostly to acoustic jazz & pay great attention to string bass.
Gungnir is musical in its bass production.
It does not over power or distract.
It is a natural bass missing from lower performing DACs.
Those familiar with the Bifrost will notice it right away.
Do not misinterpret this as being overly bass-heavy.
I find it interesting that in total, all the opinions so far are very constant.

Okay... so my friend WKHANNA (BFF LMAO) just lent me his Gungnir for the next say 5 days or so... and here's my initial impressions with about an hour or two of going back and forth with it and my Cambridge Audio 840c....
So far… here's the "facts"…
Gungnir is -3dB over the CA 840c.
Gungnir has about 25 hours on it possibly (Wkhanna isn't really sure)
CA840c is almost 3 years old and has been slightly modified (all wires silver soldered)
Gungnir makes a clicking sound when switching different Sample Rates (small click sound, but loud enough to be heard about 9 feet away at listening position), CA840c does not make any sound.
Gungnir price and specs -- you know.
Cambridge Audio 840c - $1200 or $1400 when I bought it (can't remember), Adaptive Time Filter, Asynchronous upsampling to 24-384kHz, 32-bit Analog Devices "Black Fin" DSP, Dual Differential DACs (2x Analog Devices AD1955 24-bit running at 384kHz), Fully differential output stage, Anti-Aliasing Filter based on linear phase Bessel filters for constant group delay and minimum phase shift, DC Servo with no capacitors in the signal path. http://cambridgeaudio.com/assets/documents/840Cspecsheet.pdf
Signal Path:
Data located on a 40TB Raid 6 Win2k8r2 Server with 4GB connection (1GBx4) streamed to Win7 64bit laptop -> Foobar2000 -> ASIO4ALL -> WireWorld UltraViolet USB Cable -> Musical Fidelity V-Link (original one, 192 is on order) ->
Path Splits here:
Lifatec Glass Optical -> Cambridge Audio 840c ->
Silver Cat Interconnect -> Schiit Gungnir ->
Silver Cat Interconnects -> Rotel RSP-1098 (modified) -> Silver Cat Interconnects -> Rotel RB-1090 (modified) -> Cat Cables CatTails bi-wired (2 pair) -> Bowers & Wilkins 802D2.
I tried swaping the Optical and Digital Coax cables and honestly my opinions are completely identical... I couldn't even tell any differences that would've moved with the cable swap...so I left them as I normally have it (and it made it easier to demo both).
Melody Gardot - My One and only Thrill (CD and 24/96K Vinyl Rip)
Melody Gardot - Worrisome Heart (CD and 24/96k Vinyl Rip)
Dave Brubeck - Time Out (24/96K Vinyl Rip)
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue (200g 24/96K Vinyl Rip) -- is the best sounding thing I have period.
Various other Genres will be played over the next few days.
And now... here's the Opinions…
Gungnir over the CA840c:
-Slightly sharper, maybe clearer and/or slightly more detail. Also seems slightly thinner sounding because of this.
-Highs are slightly more detailed and crisp… almost to the point of being harsh.
-Midrange and vocals seem thinner, a little more detailed (especially brush work on a snare), but thinner almost harsh at points (listening to Melody Gardot especially). At times I noticed almost an echo to the voices that I could not hear on the 840c. Not sure if it's detailing the actual reverb/echo used at points to help make the voice sound better or what. It seemed like it belonged...but it also sounded odd at the same point.
-Bass is more emphasized in the lower range, probably in the 20 – 40hz is more prominent. Slight more detail.
-Sound Stage is smaller and not as deep, placed slightly further back only sounding to come right at the plane of the speakers.
-Instruments will jump out with a little more life to them and might have a slight bit more detail and realistic-ness to them (on a very very small scale).
CA840c over the Gungnir:
-Sound stage is bigger and instruments are in a slightly different place (perhaps more focused in a location). Soundstage depth is deeper, still feels like my room has another 10ft beyond the wall.
-Highs are almost identical, with ever so slightly softer possibly every-so-slight less detail, sustain is identical.
-Midrange and vocals seem fuller and warmer (silky still) and slightly lower octive wise (could be the fuller effect though)… and maybe over all slightly ever-so-slightly "over-emphasized" and I did not notice the echoing effect that seemed to happen at points with the Gungnir. Voices are 'forward', more pronounced, louder, or "in your face" more.
-Bass is more emphasized in the upper lower range, probably in the 35 to 60Hz range.
-Soundstage is wider and deeper and is placed right at the speakers and sometimes comes more forward in presentation (slightly in front of the speakers)
-Instruments don't jump out quite as much and seem to stay more in with the sound stage unless really called upon. It almost reminds me of the statement where when an amp can't produce a sound properly (doesn't have the power) the sound will come out sounding over emphasized vs. being more coherent with the whole soundstage. Not saying that's the reason here AT ALL…just that is what it reminds me of… that type of thing.
They are almost the same identical DAC. LOL. Each one has slightly different things it does slightly better/emphasizes more. Of course the Gungnir is still breaking in with an estimated 25ish hours on it, so I think the midrange should come around a lot and the highs will actually smooth out, but hopefully not lose the detail. I'm also figuring the soundstage should open up and be very similar to the 840c's width and depth.
Both have impressed me. Gungnir for the price is AMAZING!!!! If I didn't have anything it would definitely be my DAC of choice. CA840c... the old dog STILL impresses!!!! It makes me feel really good that 3 years ago I picked out such a winner and my ears haven't failed me in knowing what sounds good. ha ha. This also brings up two more things... what will the Statement be like... I'm guessing on par with the NAD M51.
I wish Cambridge Audio's DACs were exact mirrors of what they are doing with the 800 series CDp's... well except for this new one which is a pre-amp as well... not sure if I like that, and the only updated the ATF, not changing the 2 Analog Devices DACs... So oh well, don't think that's a good purchase at the price raise of ~$400.
The only way I could quantify things at the moment is with numbers… lol
High: 90
Mid: 86
Bass: 90
Soundstage: 86
Detail: 88
Total: 88
CA 840c:
High: 88
Mid: 88
Bass: 90
Soundstage: 90
Detail: 85

I feel like part of it is that it's a very un-congested presentation, so bass seems to slam harder as it jumps out of a blacker background and from a clearly defined area in space. I've heard other setups where you need to focus to hear the bass lines, as it runs up against other elements in the music.
The first time I really heard the HD800's with great bass slam was on Purrin's PS Audio PWD --> Balancing Act setup at the last Bay Area meet. I don't think anyone could walk away from that set up and think the HD800 was bass-light, or thin, or clinical. I use James Blake's "There's a Limit to Your Love" as one of my bass test tracks, and that song really hits on that system. It's not like the bass was overwhelming or boosted either, it was still supremely balanced and natural. It's just that the bass was so dynamic, and could seemingly jump from one to ten instantly from out of nowhere if the music called for it.
I don't have $8K to drop on DAC+amp (from what I understand, he's using $1K+ in tubes), but that has been my unicorn dynamics system since. Sort of an "endpoint" in mind.
It's been one week since I got the Gungnir, but I feel like my system now shares a lot of the same qualities as that reference (from memory). Sure, it may not match the resolution, or micro-detail, or dynamic shifts of the PWD-->BA -- but it ticks a lot of the same boxes. Musical, involving, analog and natural, very smooth treble, lots of warmth and atmosphere.
One thing it does match the PWD --> BA system in is its ability to make me NOT want to listen critically. It has a way of just sucking you into the music. Seriously, the other night I just got my Magnums back from a long term loan from another member. I plugged them in just to check if they were still in working order, and ended up sucked into a 4-hour session with them.

The LEDs on my Gungnir are brighter/whiter than the one on my Mjolnir. The one on the amp is more opaque. Yours seem to be like mine. Is this the same for everyone else?

What is Call Waiting ID?
This feature combines Caller ID and Call Waiting on your Home Phone. When you are on the phone and another caller tries to reach you, a special tone or beep alerts you to the waiting call, and the name and number of the person waiting is displayed on your screen.
Call Waiting also works in conjunction with Caller ID on TV if you have video service.
To take advantage of Call Waiting with Caller ID on TV, you must:
- Have Home Phone service.
- Have Premier TV service.
- Have the Caller ID on TV feature available with your Digital TV service.
- Have enabled Caller ID on TV on your converter.
When you receive an incoming call while you already are on your Home Phone, the name and number of the incoming caller is displayed in a small box on your TV screen. You then can choose to take the call. If you do not take the call and you have Voice Mail with your Home Phone service, the call is sent to Voice Mail.
