I think joehpj may have more. That's where I got mine. Mine's up and running and doing long listening tests, finally enjoyable. Details to finish, along with getting the left channel opt servo to work. Sounds glorious. Thanks to Kevin and Spritzer. These electrostatic amps that Kevin designs and Birgir fine tunes are just an incredible learning resource. They are damn near fool proof and bullet proof. And drive my SR-009'with TOTL SQ. Also, kudos to all the experienced members here on Head-Case for the elevated discussion. Now back to my listening. Nanci Griffith is singing to me in my living room.

We survived that in the mid 70's, and got to our 39th wedding anniversary yesterday.

Ahhhhh Mikhail..... OOOooops, wrong Mikhail. It's this one.... right....?

Thanks all! The headphone stand is diamond willow. The base looks pretty rough because the only tools I used were sandpaper, screwdriver, and chainsaw.

Lucky that birgir does not have a basement, otherwise the collection would be much bigger and heavier. I happen to know someone with this problem. however he does cheat, no way he can put his car in the garage. last I knew there were several hundred pounds of transformers where the car should be.

Lunch today... Pecan encrusted Red Snapper, heirloom tomatoes, eggplant, Buffalo mozzarella w/ balsamic vinaigrette. It was yummy!

I first tried it out with the Focal Elears, only have an AQ Dragonfly Red to compare. Less fatiguing to listen to than the dragonfly, and the headphone out seems to coax a lot of bass out of the Elears - overall very enjoyable, though I don't really use dynamic headphones for critical listening anymore. I think the headphone out combined with the size makes it a good alternative to the Yggdrasil based on the features. I'll definitely use the headphone out more though, electrostatics and summer weather don't get along. I haven't messed with the crossfeed too much, but I can say it works. Overall I'm not the biggest fan of the selectable filters and crossfeed, makes me feel like they were trying to please too many people at once. I left it running for like 8h (accidentally), the case got to around 110 F but it was still chugging along fine. Probably a fair bit hotter inside. Maybe worth noting that the 1541's enclosure is vented, while the Yggdrasil seems to be sealed as far as I can tell. Just set it up with the T2 > 007 mkii chain, feeding it with a Wavelink HS so I can try out some of my Hi-Res PCM stuff. This is the same setup I use for the Yggdrasil, no direct USB connection. I'll hold off on more detailed impressions, but in comparison to the Yggdrasil the soundstage is a lot smaller - definitely don't get that same impression of spacing & air between voices/instruments/etc. In general vocals seem to be up close and personal, that's the first thing that caught my attention while listening on the electrostatic setup. The treble is also a bit harsher on the 1541, which you can tune a bit with the filter selections. There's also a bit more bass impact. Maybe it's from the differences in filtering? Or maybe I just bought into Schiit's filter marketing pitch haha. Overall it seems like the 1541 is a bit livelier and intimate in its presentation, but more fatiguing to listen to. Of course things like fatigue have to be assessed over a longer listening period, so grain of salt etc. To-do (vs. Yggdrasil) Compare USB inputs Hook up a Legato II, compare redbook performance Get a picture for size comparison, it's pretty amusing Find a balanced input selector - any suggestions?

and with a name like this, how could one go wrong... HS

Weird, those are the tools I use when I groom myself.

Thanks! I owe everything to Kevin, joehpj, and The Head-Case community. I bought cases, transformers and bits & pieces from Head-Case member joehpj. Finished the PS around a month ago. Posted some details and internal photos here: I'll post some more photos of the intervals of the Amplifier case after I get home tonight. It's still a little messy, but WTF.

Some are fixed and sold but yeah...there are a lot of headphones here. Me working on my own DIY sets isn't helping matters as there are many, many prototypes...

Active crossover, 2400W for the bottom cab, 2400W for the bass units in the top cab, 550W for the mid and 275W for the tweeter. 330lb weight for the top cab and 308lb for the bottom (290 kg in all, 638 lb). And that is just one - double for stereo. Bit of an animal, really. Oh yes - they are British

The parts that were in Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place?

Or at least put his mouth on certain parts of him.

nah lots of space around it, but the ambient of my room may have been a factor as well

Dunno if they would have anything, but you might look thru MillMax's catalog.

Try this one on eBay, I've bought them and they work very well. http://www.ebay.com/itm/100pc-CMC-8P-Tube-Socket-Gold-Plated-Pin-Hex-Snap-2x10mm-Hole/130342225019?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649

What a coincidence, the same tools I use when I barbeque. Nice work BTW.

I'm probably going to feel dumb and smack my head in a minute but I don't get that one. Edit: Yep, it happened. I get it now... I thought you were making a reference to something and was racking my brain trying to think of what movie or whatever from that time fit.

I am now unmonitoring this thread, because the goggles do nothing.

my soekris 1541 arrived, the knob is a bit wonky - it's misaligned, scrapes against the faceplate for a portion of its rotation. luckily it only matters for the headphone connection. need to listen more but it's not bad so far. one advantage it has over the yggdrasil is that it's like 1/10 the size

Beyti kabab... With family

After giving it some thought, I've decided I'm getting that building completed, then get my brother that Reverso Ultra thin, and take the chance of that Tribute still being available. Now if I hadn't been so stupid getting that Esoteric K-01, in which I lost a lot of money selling it, I'd have had the money to buy both Reversos, have the building done, and still had some spare.

Done! Aside from connecting everything and cleaning up the unholy mess that's all around it and then finally recording some music. The monitor risers are actually at the perfect height.

Aaw - that's not speaker porn. *This* is speaker porn (note the fire extinguisher..) "I've bought some new speakers, honey" (sound of door slamming)
