I've been meaning to get to this for the last year or so. I was motivated to see if I could get this down in size The current board is 4.8" x 6.8" and is an all in one. Everything from power inlet to outputs. I still have a few things I'd like to get to, including having an option for the regulators to be off-board as well. I'm using some Mean Well switchers at 24V for the +/- rails then using the TPS7A4700 / TPS7A33 for a second stage regulation down to +/- 20V. These regulators have 4uV / 16uV noise respectively (not bad). There's a switch in front that allows you to change between SE and Balanced inputs via some relays. Here are some pics of where it stands so far...

RIP the cops who were shot in the line of duty in Dallas last night and all the folks whose deaths were being protested. And fuck those who believe that you can't or shouldn't sympathize with both!

Oh, Look!

The Dirt Rally Oculus CV1 update is scheduled for release Monday. This feels like Christmas.

I wish this was recorded better, so cool that a youth orchestra backed her up. I love Mary's voice, so full of soul and emotion. Never got to see her live (she's touring now in my area, but we have plans all the possible days to see her). But I saw her back in 1994 with the band October Project. Their debut eponymous album is superb IMO.

Insert Tice joke here...( ).

The ksa5 is voltage limited, so for things like the he6, not enough oomph. And its single ended, although nothing prevents you from stacking 2 of them for balanced in which case its going to have serious amounts of power. ss dynahi is for all practical purposes way overkill for all modern in production headphones. Very nice on vintage electrovoice and jbl horn speakers. I did just pick up a pair of original "voice of the theater" set, if I bring them home i'm dead for sure. ss dynalo is what I listen to when I listen to dynamic headphones. as I only use the he6 now for testing. any of the audio-gd headphone amplifiers are better than that eddie current piece of crap in every single way, sound quality, build quality etc. And less than half the price. I hope the black widow is reliable because its stuffed with obsolete parts (although the layout for the thatcorp/Motorola front end is obviously there), repairing the thing is almost as bad as trying to repair a cavalli piece of trash. compare the picture above with this for $520 http://www.audio-gd.com/Pro/Headphoneamp/NFB1AMP/NFB1AMP9.JPG

Agreed. RIP all those who were murdered. FUCK those trying to make this into a war.

Either distortion or inoperability....

get me one for a couple of days, then everyone will know. lately things getting high praise by many over there turn into massive pieces of poorly build crap.

I do not recognize the street meat house, but I have been to Cinema 21. I love NW Portland!

I found the block where TICE @swt61 needs to live in Portland:
