I looked into this because I know Todd is a busy guy. 1. It appears that the Calendar feature has now been replaced by something called "Events". 2. They intentionally removed the ability to display birthdays as a default feature. There's an add-on that I'll try to get Todd to incorporate and see if that fits the bill. It's a nominal fee that I'll cover.

The add-on has been installed but we're waiting on an updated version of it to be available to actually work with the current version of the forum software. Until then there will be no birthday widget in the sidebar.

yes，old ones are brass. i have considered carbon fiber or PMMA as mesh holder, after comparing the metal materials, I think the metal mesh holders have better looking though...

Bought this last week on release day, it is better than the original mix Imo.

Assembled a new pair of drivers with aluminum mesh holders，the headphone now weighs less than 360 grams which is a lot more comfortable for my neck

Last night's show is up: It went really well. Taking Friday off ended up being a wise idea.

My first experience with MM Wave 5G at Ohare in Chicago. This is legitimately impressive speed for a mobile phone.

Special Saturday edition of Test Tone @ Home live right now: https://mixlr.com/illuminator/

Starting Alan Moore's Illuminations. All for a good take down.

Yea, same thought on Morphine, which guess if we’re all thinking of the same exception proves Stretch’s point. And whenever I think of Morphine I think of the Bay Area band Fuck. And just looking up Fuck for some playback, stumbled across a similarly named band… And more…

Perhaps not post rock, but Morphine begs to remind you that they showed how epic the sax was in rock.

I just talked to JP about the NY meet and I might be up for it too. We haven't had a true Travel Team event in ages, so maybe this is the reboot...

Special declaration of war.

Just different pinout; no passive swaps so far. Will do some measurements in the coming weeks to check that all current sources have the right outputs, etc, but I don't expect any big surprises. JoaMat has run 1220/2690 replacement editions of his T2:s for a long time without issue as far as I know, and the tra/ttc004 pair seems quite on par with that combo. Measured breakdown voltage in the units I have is around 210V (rated 160V), compared to about 230V for 79/216 (rated 200V) if I remember correctly from somewhere in this thread, so not quite the same but close.

Well this should be fun to test out on the trails this weekend! That number next to SPY on the other hand... that is not a number we like to see.

Nice work, its always good to see progress and new ideas for the T2. Just to clarify. I did not design the mostly modern T2 or its battery. I simply created a series of posts on my build and posted my modified gerbers and updated and clarified schematics. I have been trying to collate the information scattered over years and years of posts into one or two long posts to provide a detailed starting point for new builders. I would not want to take credit away from the people who actually did the hard work of designing and testing. Your battery looks promising. If I could suggest, PTFE caps of sufficient voltage are quite large and not easily available new. I think it would be possible to find a place on the amp pcb for 1KV film caps e.g. wima. I would also be interested in the effect on the existing mostly modern T2 battery if just the cap is fitted - since such a modification would be very cost effective for existing mostly modern T2s. If the cap mod is shown to be stable and reliable I would be happy to update my existing post to include it in the schematic as a option and update the gerbers to make a place for adding the cap. regards James P.S independently of your effort MLA and I think Joamat have been working on a variant of the mostly modern T2 amp board that replaces the unavailable new 79 and 216 transistors with tta004 and ttc004, which if they prove stable, could result in a T2 only using current production components. (the pinout of the tta/ttc is different to the originals but they have not so far had to make any other changes).

I gotta say, I really love this watch. My first calendar that I bought to be worn, and not to be flipped. The movement is a bit of a looker. I don’t normally do exhibition backs.

Just bought this.

It's a chrome finish. I did it in black as well. Here's the PS...

There will be plenty of demand for DIY repairs; this is what my second set of Shangri La drivers looked like after just over two years. You will be one busy man. The first set had a rattle in the right driver and was replaced, also. Build dates were 2018, 2019, 2022. The last Hifiman warranty replacement took 6 months to arrive. Traded the new set for what I paid for them - a little more than a moldy bread sandwich. At least the Hifiman sandwich comes with a 5 year warranty.
