Sony SEM-5Ws. Low frequencies, low WAF.

This one's almost danceable (need a vacation or somethin')!

I guess they have always been more focused on their domestic market (much more High End demanding) Very interesting link

Today I made a couple of “adapter” boards with small smd transistor 2sc3324and replaced ksc2690 Q8 and Q11. So far it seems to work… bad picture by a usb microscope

The Fall - on Amazon Prime So Fiona Apple named her latest album after a line from this show. She is a pretty damn smart woman so I figured if she enjoyed the show it can't be that bad, right? Turns out Ms. Apple lead me down a good path! The Fall is a super-tense, deliberately paced police procedural set in Belfast. I finished the first series (season) and I'm hooked.

Sigma continues to do its own thang

Reminds me of Levant hookah bar music, not that I have ever been in one mind you.

Stax Headphones behave essentially like a capacitor. DC resistance is probably multiple Mega Ohm. Assuming you stay within the current (and voltage) driving capabilities of the amp, things should get complex, but I wouldn't expect a change even remotely as large as you postulate. That's accurate at least within the measuring accuracy you're going to get with an off the shelf multimeter. As above, if the combined capacity (etc.) stays well within the capabilities of the amps, I wouldn't expect much of a change. There are probes with a U shaped hook at the end. If you find one that allows you to bend that hook into a shape that wraps around the pins of the plug, that would probably be ideal. You'd still have to make sure that the probe doesn't cause any shorts, so just measure on the second socket if possible.

He wants to (somewhat) objectively determine which of the amps is actually the best. To accomplish this, he absolutely has to level match them pretty precisely, and using a multimeter to do so is actually a very good choice. Otherwise the amp that is even slightly louder in the comparison will appear to sound better, masking any minor differences that may actually exist.

This is probably pushing it too far. Changed ksc2690 for 2sc3324. Board size now 99mm x 112mm or 3.95in x 4.44in. Looking at the 3D visualizer it seems doable. I've found a way to lay down the transistors flat but not how to bend the legs. Anyhow it’s fun working in Proteus. You can create the most odd things.

For the Stax amps with two outputs, all the corresponding pins are connected in parallel. Assuming your selection only contains such amps, just plug your multimeter's probes into the correct receptacles and you're done. If you still need to go with your idea with the extension cable, I think you'll only need to expose the bare wire enough so you can get the probes to contact it, so drilling a small hole with 1mm diameter would be sufficient. If you don't want to ruin a 100$ cable, just buy a pair of clamp test probes for your multimeter and attach them to the pins of the headphone plug and insert it as far as possible - it should still make proper contact. You'll need to be careful, and ensure that the probes you buy can actually wrap around the pins.
