The Audio-Video Club of Atlanta is proposing a headphone meet on Sunday, May 7, 2017 from 12 to 5 PM. The proposed location is at the Dunwoody North Driving Club, north of Atlanta. Detailed directions will be provided later in this post. Local retailers and popular manufacturers will be invited and all headphone enthusiasts are encouraged to attend. This is a no-charge event.

And done

Fried Gator tail bites And Cajun chicken pasta Not bad. **BRENT**

Haven't done yet, but taking my Mom out for dinner. Fried chicken livers! She and I are the only ones in the family that do, but we love 'em! Cholesterol be damned! Attempt successful.

Shiny and sticky on the bottom-rear? Nope, no idea what would cause that.

I've decided on a new look, for the weekend. I think it works rather well on the NATO (from clockwork synergy). If I had my NOS bezel installed, the blues would be almost identical.

Well that's just nonsense. **BRENT**

I'm tentatively in

I'm probably game. **BRENT**

Getting back on subject, I decided to try to evaluate the noise I was hearing. I hooked up one of my dynahi boards for the other channel and took a look at things on the scope. Both channels (FET/BJT) had some noise on them, so inconclusive. Since I don't have a function generator, I was using a portable CD player with a disc of hi quality test tones. When I unplugged the AC adapter, the noise diminished noticeably, but not completely gone. From what I recall, the dynahi was quiet when I was testing it. I'll need to recheck this with both channels to verify and make sure I'm not chasing my tail. Since my previous (4 years ago or whenever) testing had shown that the FET amp board went nuts with the crappy headphones I have in the shop for testing, I have had these plugged in most of the time. I replaced the feedback resistors with the original 1K/100R combo. Now things got interesting. Without the source plugged in (RCAs), I was getting a sine wave on the outputs (both boards!), at all volume positions other than all the way down (full attenuation). I did not determine what the frequency was, but strangely it wasn't really audible on the phones. I am theorizing that the FET board is oscillating and this is feeding back thru the PSU? Not sure how rational that is, but that is all I have to go on right now as there was no input plugged in, it remained with or without the headphones plugged in, and the only thing common besides the pot is the PSU. Next time I look at it I will verify that it is behaving consistently, and then go back to the 100K/10K feedback resistors. Maybe see what 10K/1K does as well. Any other suggestions? EDIT: I asked Todd to move this thread from the Casino to the DIY forum, and he obliged in doing so. If there are objections to this let him know (or me).

Locking this thread, we're not currently seeking out donations. Also worth mentioning the the Amazon affiliate link is no longer valid, closed that out a few years ago now.

Nice, enjoy! Need to try fried chicken livers sometime but had fried oysters among other things on CNY

checked my through hole one, (full size) its just under 200ma total with two inputs and four buffers one GRLV is enough for several of these

Who has to sleep in the wet spot?

Do you fight over who gets which side of the bed? That definitely rubs them the wrong way.

I've buttered a few tarts in my day, but that's another story.

Dusty want cajun chicken pasta.

Everything I have read says the Samsung "QLED" is just marketing bullshit to try to make people think it is different than their standard screen and more like an OLED.

looks tasty

Unholy carp, on demand mashups?!?!?

I will be there as usual. The event will be smaller than Canlanta but this will do for now. I can't wait to hang out with Brent again. Will Justin and Doug stop by again?

We got about 4" from last night through this morning. Going to be back up to 50 on Saturday so I'm going to skip doing any shoveling.

SUV w/ ski box on the top does not fit. The Jeep does though.

FYI, parking the car INSIDE that new garage will lessen the amount of snow on said car.

I actually knew all of those, but I'm a huge...excuse me, YUGE Carole King fan. So much talent!

Anybody else's HD800 earpads getting a little shiny and sticky? Mine are but just on the bottom-rear. They shed a little if I rub them there. I'm the second owner so I'm wondering if maybe the previous guy had a habit of slathering on Moose Mousse? Luckily I noticed that the pads are about $75 a pair which seems reasonable.

Picked up the new Tux and donor package for tomorrow night's First Look for Charity at the Chicago Auto Show. Getting to look at all the new cars without all the riffraff sounds like an ideal way to spend a Friday evening.

I remember talking to DaveDerek at meets back when I lived out east. He always gave me shit for not having enough prog-rock music for him to demo with.

I'll fly in and out via NYC and I should have one night by myself so I'm up for some shenanigans...

Looking pretty good. A bit carrot like, yes, but still much better than first anticipated.

I hadn't watched a single game since Christmas but randomly tuned into Cavs/Wiz in the third. Mac Daddy - ya boy Kyrie doing it again!

Hope it gets resolved quickly! Do you mind telling me your first name? I feel like we've come far enough in this relationship. Now that's some extremes!

All right, I finished my first Dynalo Mk2 build. Photos: http://imgur.com/a/GSxFt. Have now listened to a few tracks, so far so good with the HD600, completely silent. However, when I connect a sensitive headphone, like a JH13 to it (which yes, I know, doesn't need this kind of amplification), it has a pretty loud hum. Grounding problem somewhere? Could it be isolated to the SE output? I don't have balanced cables for any sensitive equipment I have. I grounded the TRS sleeve to the chassis, is that wrong?
