Now with it sitting in my main rack for a couple of hours it's time for some impressions. The basic concept of this amp came from me wanting to tame the SR-009 artificial top end and doing it in a cool way. End result is the continued refinement of older circuits but the changes here will no doubt migrate to the older circuits at some point. As better SiC units became available and the new SR-009 showed up it rendered this amp unnecessary but then it became clear that it could melt together the superb technical nature of the KGSSHV and the musicality of the KGST into one package. So we basically have a lot of power, with plenty of detail and a tube like sound from a solid state amp. Now I'm using it with my modified SR-007Mk2 which have pretty much outshone all my other cans. Nothing can touch the bass these dish out or the sheer control over the entire sound spectrum. The Carbon just adds to this as the detail they dig out is simply astounding, placing instruments in their own fixed place in the soundstage which the 009 can't really do as well. Bottom line, I like this amp a lot.

What the heck. Tapatalk just delivered Jeff's post office post to me two weeks out of sequence. Tapatalk UPS edition maybe?

24/96 Deluxe Edition

RS5 fan here too. Audi is in a very good styling phase.

I get weak/sprung at the sight of the RS5, but that's me and my inexplicable love of Audi.

^ What did you think "high sport" meant?

Pics (iphone) Input jacks with switch for RCA/XLR Amp boards and pot Sigma22 psu and transformer, set for +/- 16.2Vdc (gain resistors still socketed). L channel amp board. Still have the bias resistors (R38/39) socketed, 301R in there currently, resulting in 18-19mA current in the output stage. Also using 2SJ74/2SK170 JFET input. I also didn't populate the 4.7uf Wima caps as I'm not sure there is any point to them being there. Sounds very good, still evaluating compared to my other Dynalo. Dead quiet. I have only tried SE inputs so far, and don't notice any difference between the switch up (- inputs into the amp tied to ground), or down (- inputs wired to XLR but floating). Gain seems sufficient now that I have the input wiring issues sorted. It will be awhile before I case this, so I just mounted it to some scrap veneered plywood I grabbed from home depot for a buck, stained and polyed. EDIT: small pieces of clear tubing used as board standoffs, in case anyone was going to chastise me for mounting them directly to the wood

Will check them out! And: hey!

Hi Stephen.

Had a second interview for a job. Did not get the said job. I did; however, procure myself a coconut cream pie. The day is a success.

ride the lightning, dcc i've been listening to this album since probably sixth grade, i've heard it a million times and often feel tired of it. then out of the blue i'll throw it on and realize how brilliant it was like i'm hearing it for the first time again.
