Some little guys were having a tough day. Ten in. Ten out.

Done. I miscalculated the height needed for all the stuff on the amp boards, so the build is super tight. As the first one made as a prototype, I think it's good enough. I will increase the width and depth by a little bit next time. Now for some serious listening and comparison with Carbon and GG.

Takeout lobster roll from Joe’s Stone Crab.

My chassis is almost done now, finally. Took a quick pic this morning, lighting not good, but will give you an idea. The front accent pieces cover a drilling mistake lol. I tried to add a pic of the top, but I think I reached my size limits for uploading pics maybe?

Hope you had a great one, Tyler! Come hang out in our virtual Wonderland sometime! Cheers!

VMP release - Nat Turner Rebellion LP comes with a cool 7”!

Aww guys gang! This is so sweet of you all! I'll come back and hang out.

Then it is settled Rossliew. With your steel allergy you must get a solid gold Rolex! No wait on those... The deep sea has a titanium case back, you could get one of those and put it on a leather strap. The deep sea is tall though, I got rid of mine for that reason.

Happy Birthday!

From late last year 12/2018, in the Caribbean and Mexico OP 39s in white, black, Rhodium and Red grape were in cases. My local AD hasn't seen one in the last 3 shipments. On the Explorer 2 I saw multiple locations in the Caribbean and Mexico with both dials in stock and in the case. My AD has not seen them in the last 2 shipments. Despite all the rumors Explorer 2s are still in production and listed by Rolex. Same goes with the GV milly....... and the Cellini not that anyone cares. if you want to know what is in production check www.rolex.com if nothing else they keep that up to date.

You, sir, are bad for my bank account...LOL. Yes, I've looked at those more often than I'd like to admit. I'm afraid to go try one on for fear of leaving with it. I think it would be a TT or the gold...I like the gold with the alligator strap other than the price tag. Perhaps the TT would scratch the itch as I have both the Speedy and the 39mm Oyster Perpetual in stainless and I'm hoping for a Daytona in stainless. Given my car fetish I hope I exercise some self restraint... HS

got a haircut today... right next to the salon is the local Rolex AD. I stopped in for a look in the case. They still had the milly Z blue that came in with the last months shipment, but they had sold the Air King. They got a SS yacht master 2 in their most recent shipment, which was in the case. They also told me that they are regularly getting Subs and Date subs(not hulks) on their shipments now. GMTs, skydwellers, seadwellers, exlporers(both), millys, yacht masters and air kings remain inconsistent. Rumors of rolex increasing output may be accurate.

Sam, you do realize you can just get a Santos, right? They go great with Adidas sandals.

history lesson (unless birgir says otherwise) As far as I can tell the first stax amplifier to use differential cascode circuit is the srm-1 first introduced in 1979 long before hifiman was even a company

If you change your power cable don't forget to test the phase with your tongue.

Well it is a Hifiplus review so not even useful as toilet paper...

Happy belated!

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.

Belated one from across the pond!

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?

Happy birthday, future ambassador!

^Belated this, Tyler!

Belated Happy Belated Birthday Tyler!

Happy belated birthday

Depends on the wood. Pine would be soft, Walnut would be harder. ?

Happy belated Birthday, Tyler!

Happy Birthday Tyler!

Happy belated!

Happy Birthday, Tyler!!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Tyler! Hope it was awesome-ness-ly!

As I said before my fiend, Feliz cumpleaños! If anyone has been wondering where Tyler has been, he's been fighting the good fight in the streets of D.C. (in Tom Clancy's The Division 2.) The bad guy's stand nary a chance.

I was with Alex in his first judo championship... My champion. [emoji16]
