I know you're having a rough time Ed, but everything's going to be great! Hang in there and Have a fantastic Birthday!

Chris, this is the blog from the shop that did all my Subaru work in Virginia. Great group of guys that are tracking an RS and getting some amazing power with simple computer tweaks. Mach V

Finally got around to cleaning some used vinyl. I ended up going with DIY route, and picked up some chemical nonionic surfactant that was recommended on the library of congress page to make a little home brew solution that ended up working really well. Got a $3 painting edge pad from Home Depot for a wet brush, worked perfectly! Rinsed off in sink using normal faucet water, then did a little bath in distilled water set in a basin, dried off with some microfiber towels, and voila! Nice and quiet and clean on some of grandmas old records and my used vinyl digs. Cleaned about 20 records for about $5 at most of materials.

I love it when a plan comes together.

Thanks Reks! I just did that and paid a bit extra for the insurance and express shipping!

3V, in most cases.

Happy Birthday Ed! Best wishes and looking forward to Ed 2.0!

HRE's are nice but they're proud. You might want to have a look at Forgestar's rotary forged wheels. Great value for money. Weight is right, you can get them in a variety of colors, sizes, lug patterns and offsets, and I've run them up to high speeds in a heavy car...they're sound. I use them for my standing mile runs and recently bought a set for the street. Best of luck. HS

Finally finished casing my Blue Hawaii today. Running on my "universal" PSU that also powers my HV Carbon. 400VDC and 18VDC rails, 20mA plate current. The heatsinks warm up to about 42C (108F) and stabilize, about 22C (40F) rise from ambient temperature. The chassis is a Breeze Audio 3608A, one of 5 chassis I bought from Breeze Audio at TaoBao. I requested that the front and rear panels be left plane, un-drilled. Works quite well.

Interesting. Got any more info? PS: I have a Gungnir Multibit I might be talked into lending to you and Kevin for experiments (though it'd be nice to get it back in one piece eventually)...

Happy Birthday Ed, Here's to a heathy Ed 2.0, and Many More!

Have a wonderful birthday free of doctor's visits!

Ordered.

Happy birthday!

Happy, and healthy birthday, Ed! Have a great one

Yeah, I want you to shut up, because I hate talking about watches. You really like it, it's in your price range, and you don't have to jump through hoops to get it. It seems like the winner. I also like it.

Happy birthday, Ed!!!

Get it.

I had misread your post, sorry about that.

Audio reproduction is a bunch of trickery designed to fool you into thinking you are listening to something live from distance, with varying degrees of success. The thing is, audio recording and reproduction is nothing at all like listening to live music, from the start (microphone type and placement to mixing/mastering, etc) to finish (speakers/headphones). Headphones, with the drivers less than an inch from your ear, and with earpads that could be in or on your ear, bypass or change some of that transfer function, like your head and pinna, and have to emulate sound that comes from a point source 3 meters or so away. Hence the need for various equalization curves that no one has agreed on, of which free field and diffuse field are currently the most popular. Most headphones these days are a combination of both, leaning towards diffuse field. Then there's the whole equal loudness contours thing, and we definitely know from firsthand experience that people like to listen at different volumes. Even listening live, people can have drastically different experiences with sound. Sitting in a concert hall up in the stands is vastly different from sitting in the first few rows. Where you stand relative to the speakers in a rock/metal concert changes the sound a bunch, along with the people in the room. The farther you are from the sound source, the more the acoustic space and reflections come into play.

Happy Birthday, Ed. Have a wonderful day!

My preference is the white GMT.

Happy Birthday Ed!

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday, Ed, glad you're still with us! (party favour noise)

Happy Birthday Edwood!

happy birthday

Happy Birthday, celebrate it by continually getting better!

Happy Birthday Ed! And here's to many more! [emoji322][emoji322][emoji322]

The Gamma pro wasn't the most appropriate comparison in retrospect, as the tone is much more like the SR-X's, minus the strange roll-off + peakiness that the SR-X has. The ECR-800 is probably the smoothest sounding pair of headphones I've owned, even the O2mk1 somehow sounds slightly tense in the highs by comparison. As far as technicalities go, think the ambience comes through a little better than my heavily modified SR-3 (GP driver, wide cable, O2 pads, and de-grilled), but its hard to match volumes exactly since the ECR is somewhat more sensitive. Soundstaging is highly variable since its almost entirely dependent on the pads - the HM5 pads yield good results, as do O2 pads. With the stock pads they're identical to the SR-X in this respect.

Yup, that's a classic concert film! I love that early tv clip of Musical Box too. I'm always shocked at how young everybody looks but the energy is out of this world! I might sound like my parents but "I don't think I was ever that young!"

I was thinking more along the lines of transfer function of the combination of mainly the resonances caused by the outer and middle portions of the ear. It's a little different for everyone based on the dimensions of the cavities and whatnot, and that 1-3kHz region is where the ear is most sensitive/most of the acoustic gain is happening. But yeah your point is also valid... "natural" sound is all relative, anyways. I believe Sennheiser did listening tests with a bunch of test subjects and averaged them out to develop their diffuse field curves for the HD800. There should be a way to re-individualize that, where you find some way to scan the dimensions of peoples' ears, correlate that with listening tests, and upload that into a database so you can just grab whatever equalization you need based on your closest match or add a new entry if you don't match with anything. That sounds so silicon valley. Time to get a startup going

That could well be. Goes back to the old argument of accuracy vs. euphony. Those trained in the studio (or with acoustic instruments in real life) would recognize even slightly exaggerated bumps, where those of us who do most of our listening in artificial environments (headphones, speakers, contemporary music, amplified concerts) may not notice, and crave it if exposed to enough of it and addicted. For the record -- I don't really claim to be in either camp. I've been pushing myself to listen to more acoustic music, but I'll be honest, I listen to 99.99% the other kind (electronic, produced, contemporary, however you want to call it). PS I see something like this growing in popularity: https://www.geteven.co/products/even-headphones

I'm not a rule breaker I guess. I'm leaning towards the Seiko as I have wanted a spring drive for over a decade

so if I count right, that is 50 resistors per string. which would work out to 25 resistors (sign + 24 bit magnitude) x 2 and then 2 of them which would be balanced for one channel. so it actually could be really balanced. 3 opamps at the outputs? funny that they sanded off the part number of the eprom that loads the altera chip

I can get it repaired, sure. Laser welding and polish. They don't look that bad, and I'd rather put the money towards HREs (or put it towards a new car).

Love the trailer.

Guys here is the trailer of "Kedi" with English subtitles: And the dates for the USA screenings for those who love cats: https://www.kedifilm.com/

just a bunch of photos from my random photo folder.

or put the 0 ohms resistors on after, they connect pin 6 to the center of the 49.9k's I took them off for biasing

Final Fantasy Piano Collections I never even played the games, but they are some of my favorite piano music. I lost track of these and had to buy them again, which sucked. Expensive.

Positive: 10uF, 1uF, 4x10uF and 5x0ohm resistors for voltage setting. Negative: 10uF, 1uF, 4x10uF and 89ohms, AOT, 1M43, 10nF.
