Here are some photos of another headband I've done for my 009's, which is very similar to the other one I did sometime ago, but on this new one I sprayed the band matte black, whereas the other I covered with carbon fibre wrapping. Now I've still got that other headband, but I'm keeping it as spare, not that I expect anything to happen to this new headband because it's very strong. P.S. I've also started putting my 009's on this different stand.

Also, can you imagine if we gave him a bigger head?

stop, you people are going to cause a global tragedy. Brent can't be happy.

Finally got a moment after doing Mike's lawn and washing the Audi. Thanks for the greetings, gang!

After a few weeks burn-in period of this little beast, I found it's very relaxing to listen to. I can hear more juices coming out and the STAX 009 just doesn't have that analytical sounding cliché to my ears. It also enhances the soundstage and life-like of Focal Utopia makes it way more enjoyable to hear. This is a push-pull design tube Headphone Amplifier/Preamplifier attempting to achieve the true high-performance of headphones from Dynamic, Planar Magnetic to Electrostatic models. I've gotten a few PM's asking about the schematics and stuff so I decided to open a thread to discuss more here. a few interesting measurements of the amp at R = 6Ω DT-HWT Headphone Amplifier/Preamplifier schematic: DT-HWT Power Supply schematic: ===================== Inputs – it has two sets of RCA inputs. Output – it has different outputs, provided on a number of different connectors. On the amp front is a TRS ¼” unbalanced jack, and balanced headphone outputs on a single 4-pin XLR and a pro bias 5-pin Stax headphone jack. On the amp rear, there are two sets of 3-pin XLR and RCA preamp outputs. Both sets can be used at the same time if desired – for example, you could feed a power amplifier from the XLR connectors, and a subwoofer amp from the RCA connectors. The bias voltage settings on the separate power supply unit are used only with electrostatic ear speakers (> 100K Ω impedance). You can select whichever bias level sounds better to your STAX/HE90 models from 230-500-580 up to 620 V DC bias. Tube complement for the amp unit is: matched pair of EF86/E80F/6D8 & matched pair of 12AU7/5814A/E80CC/E82CC & matched quad of EL95/6AQ5 Tube complement for the power supply unit is: matched pair of KT66/KT77/KT88/6550/6L6/EL34/350B/350A & one 6080/5998/6AS7/6H13C/2399 Look forward to those next iterations/variants from you guys soon... For the meantime, I keep on rolling 11 tubes to find the best combination that suits best for different music genres

Biscuits and pomade all round!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRENT!!!/... Cheers

I've been wearing my Pre-Moon Speedy on its 1171 a lot, lately. I had forgotten just how good the Oyster bracelet is (i.e. the 1171 isn't). Speedies are handsome on bracelets, though.

I condone this thread.

Prime rib (last night)

Are there watches that pair well with birth bottles?

I've rebuilt a couple of batteries on original DIY T2 boards with LT1021 - works. Have looked for schematic without success but it is somewhere on my computer… Anyhow, how do you like this one: LT1021 current set to 1.2 mA. Hard to find 2SA1968 and easy to find smd HN4C51. Fewer components then the original battery. Better? probably not.

Again, thanks for all the suggestions. I bumped into a buddy before the party at Total Wine and we collaborated. For general consumption we got Kavanagh, Tullamore Dew(white and green jug), and one other I can't remember. The TD was surprisingly smooth, I drank that all night. We also got the Yellow Spot, Jameson 18 year, and Redbreast 12 CS. The good thing is my buddy was able to take the good stuff home, so I'll get to try that next time I'm over. I'm officially an Irish Whiskey fan.

Thank you , Kerry. Added capacitance in feedback.. With 15pF the sine wave is replaced with something erratic - amplitude 100 to 200 mV. What is that compensation cap?

Irreversible changes to the gravitational properties of the planet? Happy Birthday dickhead.

RIP Roger. I agree with Craig, the dry humor he was able to show was great in combination with the typical Bond class and style.

Who can possibly forget the the secret keypad that needed five numbers, and which played the tune from Close Encounters? No Bond before or since has been played for laughs the way Moore did.

Happy Birthday, Brent!

¡Feliz Cumpleaños, Manito! That means Happy Birthday in Mexican

RIP Roger Moore, age 89. I recall him saying quite recently that his acting involved "First raising this eyebrow, then raising the other one".

Happy Birthday Raffy!! Miss you bud, hope you had a great day

Agreed. I saw him race live multiple times with my older brother and was a fan. Also hits close to home for someone who spends a lot of time on two wheels.

The Joy of leftovers

Have a great one Raffy! Cheers!

On my way.

I can fix that. Come on over.

Steve, Raffy's chores are never done but he has the day off today. Happy Birthday Raffy!

I'll give credit where credit is due, kudos to Boston for salvaging some dignity.

Went to Santa Cruz, where I saw Curtis strut his stuff http://www.santacruzsentinel.com/general-news/20161125/santa-cruz-local-seeks-wetsuits-goggles-warm-clothes-for-standing-rock-protesters EDIT and 70 self pour taps http://www.pourtaproomsantacruz.com/

Do I need to spend North of $1400 to get two new OEM front struts and get them converted to double adjustables so I can play with suspension settings.... NO Do I want to very badly.... YES Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk
