I think most people cut up the stock ESP950 cable (or the extension cable, if your worried about the warranty) and just solder the amphenol STAX plug on. Info is on head-fi as mentioned above. I did it so long ago I forgot how.

Power is out at home. Lots of trees are down. Thankfully no major flooding in Teaneck.

The forecasts say its still going to be a 1 when it hits my house Wish me luck.

Happy Birthday!

Reproduction of "Stereo" sound is an artificial effect. I'm not interested in drinking liquor, just Whiskey... what you just said. I'm not interested in wearing sports shoes, only Adidas. I dont drink beer, I drink Pabst! (Ok, so this one is kind of true) Or software EQ Fixing the treble spike in the HD800 is infinitely easier than fixing the soundstage on orthos... IMO at least.

Happy Birthday Marc!

I'd be interested in renting a Leica 50F0.95 or any of the "DC Nikkor" lenses. The Canon 50F0.95 is somewhat appealing for its blindingly fast speed, but the bokeh is kinda fugly so um yea, scratch that. Ooh, the Konica hexanon 57F1.2 would also be a welcome loaner provided it was lent with a suitable camera.

Rangefinder>SLR. Just saying. And yea, the aftermarket screens are nice. I use a ~$20 Chinese one, but if I had the cash I would definitely go nicer. This one blacks-out too early

No, it means that there should hardly be any difference at all. Which is very cool. Ooh, unless the output impedance is different running SE and BAL. People put WAY too much importance on Balanced amps, especially in high feedback circuits.

Welcome to a larger & better world. I really like the smokestacks

Noise cancellation of COMMON MODE noise happens wherever the phases of the signal are compared. If the phases are compared at the inputs, noise cancellation happens there. If the phases are compared across the drivers that is where the noise cancellation happens. The cool thing with amps like this is you get noise cancellation regardless of whether you use the SE or balanced outputs. With 4-boards in one box amps (icky) you only get noise cancelation when running balanced. 4boards-1box amps also amplify the noise through the whole amp, gobbling up overhead - if you get rid of the noise early (in either SE or 2ch balanced amps) you can improve performance greatly. A 2-channel balanced buffer would be infinitely better than 4-boards in one box. Separate is not equal.

Congrats & Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Jim!

So I bailed on you all to hang out with this girl I really like and had an awesome time. She hasn't called back or texted me all week which is just painful. I emailed her to say how I crappy this makes me feel and Just got the "yea Im not really ready for a real relationship but dont want to break up with you" email. I'm going to mail her back that we should not see each other, I can only see her hurting me more.
