  3. OK - I totally understand that! The founder of Oxford Instruments, Sir Martin Wood used his mechanical watch (no idea which one it was) to find where the 1000 Gauss contours of a magnet were. At that field the second hand would stall. So whereas the test lab would use technology to measure the 1000 Gauss stray field Martin would just use his watch.

  7. I really think your best bet is to buy my practically NIB BHSE and keep it in the box to replace yours if it is murdered by dust or humidity.

  8. I've been mostly vegetarian for 6 months. I've switched to pescatarian because I have been feeling a little low energy, and have meat on occasion but It's gone pretty well. I don't think hamburger is better than veggie burgers, except for the gas involved. I do think I feel better with beef or something comparable about once a week or so.

  11. Thanks HemiSam. My question was really too broad to answer. I'll just go find a fun to drive used car. Driving a slow car fast can be more fun than driving a fast car slow.

  12. That was remarkably perfunctory. But in for a couple of 128GB (smaller) iPad Pros as the kids have pretty much beaten their Airs to death. What a fucking dog's breakfast the naming conventions across the range are now. iPad mini 2, iPad mini 4, iPad Air 2, iPad Pro, iPad Pro.

  15. To be quite frank, the difference between the HD800s to the classic is very small on both my SuSy Dynahi & ECP DSHA-0. On lower end rig, a stock HD800 can be tough to listen to due to its treble energy (with relatively warmish upgrade cable ...it is less of an issue). I would buy a used HD800 and add a blue dragon upgraded cable rather than paying full price for the HD800S.

  17. I had a few of these run by SeeedStudio... I think they turned out well. I even had 8 31DQ10s left over, and a couple of the pins. I'll need to get some part orders in, and don't have my GRLV nearly ready yet. I did have to flip two of the 10 ohm resistors on the GRLV to the bottom for these to fit, but I'm satisfied.

  20. I'm not a watch buff, but used to work at Oxford Instruments, where one of our product lines were superconducting magnets. 15,000 Gauss in new money is 1.5 Tesla, which is the fringe field of an exceptionally serious magnet. It is more than enough to erase every credit card in your wallet (got the badge on that several times). It is also the centre field in many MRI scanners. So unless you work in an advanced physics lab or particle accelerator, or want to tell the time while you are having an MRI scan.... I've read about the technology that is in there, and the use of advanced materials, and and exceptional it is too - I just don't see the point in everyday life. But hey - I've spent shed loads of money an audio gear over the years, which is just as nutty an obsession in pursuit of perfection!

  23. Damn, Doug! The wood came out AMAZING! This thing is gorgeous! I'll leave it to Doug to describe what the heck it is I just bought. Time to plug her in!

  24. A little photo tour of last month's SIngapore trip, some of you may have seen it on Facebook, but if not, here it is! Shot with a combination of Sony A6000 16-50/3.5-5.6 and Samyang 12/2.0, with a few cameos from RAW processed out of my LG V10.

  25. Did I hear this? I think I did. It sounded really fucking nice with HD800's.... insanely neutral with a near-perfect midrange and absurd detail.

  26. I had to the chance to hear this (and its larger cousin) recently and Doug's work continues to impress.
