My own Carbon, not going anywhere... IMG_6585 IMG_6590 IMG_6592 IMG_6593 IMG_6595 IMG_6596 IMG_6597

I finally got the last plate machined. I had to replace the spindle on my CNC and also made a mistake on the CAD so had to redo this plate, but it's looking great now.

extraordinary this is how they should be built.

What about those of us who drive GTI's and think everyone who drives BMW's are douchebags? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had wings and pho And frozen custard

This is the best hip hop video you'll see today.

Went down the HQplayer rabbit hole a while this weekend. Brilliant piece of software! Many thanks to @Sherwood for posting this! Soon realised that Jussi (the coding guy behind HQplayer) implemented a closed-form filter a few months ago, the merits of which Schiit has devoted a long section of their Yggy FAQ to. Pretty much the secret sauce in the Yggy. So for anyone who would like to try that sauce without buying the Yggy, here's the free trial option. Of course, a DAC is so much more than the filter and algorithms may differ, etc but it makes for a very interesting listen. Found a nice explanation on the merits of closed form vs apodising filters at http://www.computeraudiophile.com/f11-software/hq-player-20293/index147.html#post475586

So epic.

Doom I with every image and sound file replaced by a grunting Tim Allen.

You want to use Philips DSDIFF instead of DSDIFF Edit Master, as this will split the album into one file per track, instead of a single track. AFAIK, some SACD ISO files do have DST, so you also want to enable the "Convert DST to DSD" option. DST is a compressed format, which cannot be tagged. You do not need an extra step for this, just convert straight from ISO to DFF with that option enabled.

The Police - Reggatta de Blanc

Marian Hill - Sway Gotta admit, this sounds fucking great on the setup.

New Gal is hawt.

Ouch.

The top plate took about three and a half hours actual machining, but I do it over a few days typically. My feeds/speeds are about 15" / minute with about .035" depth.

is that really all you have to say about this build? in all fairness John's build seems like "the best" build Carbon shown on the forum - there has been others fine builds, but not as exquisite as this.

My voltage selector board.

exquisite ... must be the "state of the art" build!

The sad part is right that, the amount of stupidity, douchebaggery or whatever not nice that one needs to project his ego into his damn fucking car.

Thank you very much, rdrayer I'm going to try it right away. It worked like a charm and seemed to include the tags without my intervention. This DSD thing sounds awesome, probably the mastering, yet..

Agree that not quoting a price up front can be problematic. However, not wanting payment until the customer as completely satisfied with the work done sounds like a commendable business practice (it's tends to be the other way around - pay up front and then pray that you'll be happy with the work afterwards ). //UFN

Tom -- I need to invite myself over. What's your music of choice? Format?

Strawberries, Ice cream, Apple Crumble

What about those of us douchbags who want to be driving Benzs

French Dip

Not everyone who drives a GTI really wants a BMW and not everyone who drives a GTI but really wants a BMW is a douchebag. It's one of those logic things.

Frankie Says ... Seminal

Nice!! Especially the form of top plate at the screws against the heat sinks.

you want to use one of the linear isolators to drive one side of the bias circuit.

First bleaching session on the season in progress. Will be a ginger claus shortly.

Well, if you get too deep down the rabbit hole, I can share my settings:

This is a serious album to listen to with some vintage RS-1s.
