I doubt they'll hatch, even with such a broad uhm, incubator.

Worked with Rev. Run on a virtual event this morning. That was a hoot.

Book Club Food Oh, and there was Chocolate Raspberry Cream Cake for dessert. Well, it would be rude not to.

What do you mean?

Starting yesterday, drove about 120mil north to visit Al and Steve since I’d managed to make it all the way to the left coast and seemed a shame to not close the gap all the way. Had excellent drinks and dinner with the two of them and Claire last night, followed by breakfast this morning after viewing some (smallish) redwoods. Then decided that I should probably take the long way “home” back to Monterey so took Rt1/PCH stopping for a walk and a few photos on the way.

Great! My vast library of eight track cassettes will make me awesome again.

in general there are no build guides unless a forum member explicitly makes one. Here is the link to the forum thread for the amp. I strongly suggest reading through it all... the threads document the evolution, modification and problems builders have. https://www.head-case.org/forums/topic/9768-kg-balanced-dynahi-build-discussion-thread/#comment-468974 schematics can be found at https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B7egryukiT7_TFlEQlBRejdVdDQ?resourcekey=0-nGWwBYQ_Uivj-ciBLYMeaA and gerbers to have pcbs made: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1r3g2TAtBUaBdiMorTWX7yYgeJ7maQbYW Also consider that people post schematics, their own gerbers etc in the thread sometimes. Also be aware that if you need transistors which are no longer manufactured and only available as new old stock, there are many many sellers on ebay etc selling FAKES, which are look alike transistors with the original markings removed and the markings of the NOS transistor silk screened or laser etched on to them. These fakes of course will fail on first switch on... So if you need NOS components consult the forum before buying from a seller. Sometimes there are more then one version of an amp, one using NOS and one using modern components, but the speed through hole transistors are being marked as obsolete or end of life by the manufacturers mean that its a constant struggle to have amp designs that only use modern available parts. There are some forum members with stocks of NOS components who are sometimes willing to sell to members, in general what they don't want to do is to sell to someone who will then just resell the components at higher prices on ebay etc, if they are going to supply they expect the components to go into a build or be held as spares for an existing build since the supply of many genuine NOS components is getting very very low and often there are no modern drop in substitutes. So sometimes you have to be in the forum for a while and post pictures of your builds so you can show you are a genuine DIYer and not a high price reseller scalper. often builders get the bare pcbs made by Chinese companies like JLCPCB who have a minimum order quantity of 5, so sometimes people have spare pcbs, so its often worth asking in the forum if anyone has a spare. There are also on going parts shortages so sometimes its possible to do a parts swap with another DIYer is they have spare of what you need and you have something they need.... Good luck and welcome. (P.S. the moderators do a very good job of keeping junk sellers, bots, scammers, advertisers, spammers etc out of the forum. There is a wide range of threads not all DIY related and its generally frowned upon to do politics etc in a build thread.).

I would give it a try and then set it aside for a bit and come back to it. Back when I was fully into roasting, I started off with the idea of a fresh roast, fresh grind is the best. But Sonja and I started to notice that we liked the coffee better and better as the week went on (always fresh grind though). So then we implemented a process of roasting a pound at a time and letting it set while we worked through the current batch. It took us about a week and a half to go through a pound (a real pound - not 14oz, or 12 oz that companies sell these days -- anyway - lost my train of thought). So by the time we got to the new roast it was at least a week and a half old. This was a good balance that we came up with. We didn't really want to have rolling stock of multiple roasts just aging. But we knew that we didn't want fresh either. This reminds me when we started to fresh mill flower. It was not the best right out of the mill. When we got fresh flour from a local source we would not use it until at least 14 days after it was milled. It was too unpredictable to use for our breads. So there is something about nature that wants us cool our jets a bit. When we transform something (roast or mill), it needs some time to recover. don't we all?

Heart? 😜

you mean like this there was another koss circuit on ebay from a guy in ukrane, i did not save that picture. it was even worse. the soviet era toroid transformer is a real gem.

Neither does the bourbon... 🤠 HS

proper light roasts including Nordic now seem to be recommending 30+ days of resting in many cases. Sey, Apollon’s Gold, etc. i let that Black & White settle for 3ish weeks and certainly didn’t feel like it lost anything. if anything has improved.

Trade roasters don’t fuck around.

It doesn’t care about a tight cuff.

I think I have some .45 boards left.

I'd return them. Welcome to "high end" audio. I've never listened to the Atticus, or any other ZMF headphone. I know they have a good reputation, but what sounds good to one will vary for others. Don't buy expensive cables as they are generally snake oil, and as you note, no difference in sound. From your description, I don't think anything you might try (pads, cable, better amp, etc.) is going to get you where you want to go.
