Well its not like the stax mafia aren't busy and we certainly are not going to do an output stage with 8ma of current, and therefore no reason for a 4 stage amp, and since tube inputs seem to be the big thing lately, well might as well take the kgsshv-carbon design and replace the input fet with an input triode. bonus, no low voltage supplies. not a bonus, ksa1156 and ksc5026 run at close to 1 watt each. I should have a real t8000 end of june, but this should keep some of you busy. I expect joamat to have one built in less than 24 hours. no, no circuit board yet about 70 volts on the plate of the tube, same as t2. optical servo from kgsshv-carbon will work fine (but then you need the low voltage supplies) kgsshvcarbontubeinput.PDF

Our little boy is all grown up! Hell, he probably doesn't even chug expensive whiskey, and puke at parties anymore! It's been fun watching the change in your perceptions and attitudes. But I'd kind of like to see you get drunk and reach for the TICE again, just once more before you abandon youth altogether! Hah! Your not too old to embarrass on your Birthday! Justin, have a fabulous day!

I am not throwing away this... shot!

I have received payment from most. Thanks all for the prompt responses. I will be placing PCBnet amp board order today. The Gerber file used will be the megatron12v.zip with 12.6vac filament for the front end tubes. Board size is (229 X 229 mm or 9" X 9") I will place the Seeed GRHV board order this weekend (it's 9:30pm Friday night in China now). The Gerber files used will be kgsshvpssicfetsinglenewrightfatsws.zip and kgsshvpssicfetsinglenewleftfatsws.zip. These are the boards with the CPC1117N opto relay and the builders can opt to implement a HV delay if desired. Board size is 139 X 99 mm or 5.5" X 3.9"). I will update everyone when I receive order confirmations.

I left my Sony MDR-Z7 headphones on the train on Wednesday; I retrieved them on Thursday.

Watched it a few months back. I was pretty young when the debates happened, but I remember the hub bub. Mostly I remember my Dad using the word "faggot", and feeling very awkward and hurt, but of course I just did what most gay boys did back then, and receded inward. Watching them recently was a whole new experience. Much more prideful. Spending time with my Oldest Brother recently, and laughing at gay things, with absolutely no malice, reinforces how far we've all come. Gore was a first role model for me, as even my Dad respected his insight and wit. Dad did come around eventually. The City and the Pillar was the first gay novel I ever read, and that started a change inside me that started the revelation that I was not alone.

Pork two ways - loin and chop.

Keep them coming. I'll buy a bigger house.

Wow....that was lucky! Train-riders probably looked and said, "Not Beats....don't want 'em"

Thanks for joining Head-Case. I'm glad you're here. That said, you should be aware that this isn't your typical internet forum. We're not here so that you'll have another place to sell your stuff. We're not looking for people trying to pad their post counts, or demonstrate their ability to find witty things on the internet. If you've come here looking for advice on which headphones to buy, perhaps you should check out http://www.innerfidelity.com. Tyll Hertsens, founder of Head-Room and long time community giant is the proprietor there, and does everything he can to ensure that accurate information is disseminated about headphones at every level. This is predominantly a place for friends to discuss music, audio gear, and whatever else tickles our fancy. We are sometimes quite rude, often irreverant, and regularly abusive. Think of it like the corner bar where everyone knows each other. Don't mistake our familiarity with each other as familiarity with you, even if you've seen our names in other locations before. Spend some time reading before you start to post. Get familiar with what is going on, and who the various people are. Don't just jump right into the fray. This is your only warning, but I hope you can participate. There's a lot of good information, and more importantly, good people here.

No, I suspect what happened was, someone yelled, "suspicious package", because I've been carrying them around in that generic hardware case that Chris gave me, and it's a little beat up looking, which would make it even more suspicious, and my "look" on the train is a hoodie and sunglasses, so if they saw who left it... But your point is still valid, and for that, I am grateful. There are a lot of good people on the train. And it's rubbed off on me -- I've gotten out of my seat so that two people could sit together, and I think when other people observe that sort of behaviour, they try to do it, too. It certainly worked on me. Especially when it's the same people on the train every day, and you kinda sorta get to know each other. Every time I bring a salad on the train, that same conductor always stops me and asks me if I know the rule about food on the train ("share it with the conductor"), to which I try to respond with something different every time. (My favourite was, "bring a treat for the good ones, give the assholes a hard time", to which I was ready to respond with a cookie if he asked me which one was he, but that was the one time he didn't ask me. Dagnabit.) Yeah, I've been leaving a lot of stuff -- prescription glasses (also got those back), hoodie in a restaurant (got that back too), winter plaid hunter's cap (never got that back). Geezin' sucks. On the bright side, my doctor thinks it all boils down to sleep apnea, so as soon as I can start using my bi-pap regularly, I should see an improvement in my behavior. Also, I called them as soon as I realized, and the conductor now knows me by sight, so he went out of his way to find them.

I need a bigger house for all the KG ES amps!

Gee, and that took less than the 3 years of development time that Stax says they used for the T8000. Now the next step is to change to GG EL-34 outputs, and you'll have a modernized, simplified T2.

The serious answer is read this post:

There are a lot of crap dacs out there but something like the Denafrips and Soekris are excellent. Made me retire the MSB...

Damn I miss those 80's hairstyles!

Ripped 2300+ sacd's over a 3 month period last year 2 at a time. me unusual? No never

To put things into a bit of perspective: these are the same people that found it a good idea to start a company whose name and products are based on having a giggle about feces and ass guards, then made the brand of the company into some weird cult with multiple threads across the internet on the narcissistic ramblings of lunatics, as their followers lie prostrate at their log cutting balloon knots preaching about the One True Sound.

Get well soon, Jacob. Hopefully it's just your body needing less blood pressure dropping drugs.

Way back in December I set the UK police system on the trail of this scam merchant, who was targetting US and other nationality buyers for high ticket audio items, getting the money, and sending no goods. He seemed to have been operating for years. Anyhow, I have just had a call from West Mercia Police asking me to confirm what my recollection was of his modus operandum. We chatted for a while, and I wished her good luck in finding the guy. "Oh - we know precisely who he is" So the system works - they have the bastard!

& not as creepy...
