The srm-001 is an opamp driving a fet that drives a transistor (cascode) into a load resistor and is cap coupled to the output. (cascode differential) The jade2 is an opamp driving a transistor that drives a mosfet (cascode) into a load resistor and is cap coupled to the output. The calculation of output capacitance is flat out wrong as the middle of the cascode is AC ground. (cascode differential) Just about identical. Obviously the jade2 consumes a bunch more power and puts out a bunch more power. I own 2 hifiman products. Both are built like shit. I'm unlikely to buy hifiman products ever again.

Really nice Steve! Helped a long time vendor by doing a rare sponsored speech for them. In response they surprised me with the gift of headphones. Bose headphones, but it's the thought that counts, right?

I don't think so. He actually has a picture of a train and a picture of a bicycle side-by-side, and then goes on to state that they are not the same thing. I found that illustration particularly compelling. Though I think he might have had the arrows from the amplifiers pointing the wrong way...

After her first album, I saw some live shows where her voice did not measure up. Since then I recognize that he has not interested me again. Beautiful? ummm I prefer Raquel Welch or Monica Bellucci...

I did very much actually. She’s been doing that plaintive, vocal-forward pop her entire career. I actually kept up with her up until Safe Trip Home. So started listening to her back catalogue in reverse order: Girl Who Got Away, Safe Trip Home, Life For Rent, No Angel. I mean, nothing matches “White Flag” or “Thank You” or “Here With Me”, but I still liked it as much as anything else of hers.

This is the best thing you will watch all day.

I think mine is already finished but I need to touch up something. My pocket CFA.
