Happy B-Day!

I have never been able to have to USB DAC's working at the same time from the computer's usb ports. Sure hope someone can show how to do so.

Nice people and nice gear! Great recipe for a good time.

TheGreenManalishi if you bought the Novo from Graham Slee directly I would suggest you send him an email asking him if he would be willing to allow a trade up. I am assuming your Novo is brand new and w/ no marks/scratches. I have both the Novo and Solo SRGII and find the Solo a much better sounding unit specially with the PSU1. Cheers and good luck.

Darn, this is looking awesome! It is almost making me want an stax set up. But like many no money available.

Sylvania 7236 power tubes for WA22
Ayre QB-9
and these movies on DVD (both out today): Pixar's Up [Deluxe Edition], Watchmen: Ultimate Cut
Asr, I would appreciate your opinion on the WA22 specially w/ the 7236. It would be great if you use it to drive a K1000. Thanks.

Don't get the HD580/600! they suck. Instead get a Grado RS-2 or RS-1, perhaps even an LA2000.

Similarly done here, w/ the added advantage of being water/mildew resistance.

Ken, glad you have your amp back and specially that it is sounding better! Mine returned today from "our mutual friend" and I am enjoying the heck out of it. Although Mikhail took advantage of many his amps (when working right) sound great. A pity that so many people have suffered because of his poor ethics and worse business practices.

Yes, have a great day!

In addition to the odor you should be concerned w/ corrosion of the metal stand if you use beach sand.

Yeah, the tritium makes me a little nervous.
Tritium has a half life of about 12.33 years, which means it looses half its energy every 12.33 years via beta decay (-e). Beta has more energy than alpha (which is heavier and can be stopped by a sheet of paper), thus tritium could penetrated deeper below the skin (although it is stopped by a few centimeters of wood). Unless both the glass dial and the glass receptacle on the markers break there should not be a need to worry. However you may wish to read more on the matter to appease your concern.

Thank you.

I have had the opportunity to listen to the K1000 amped by a Signature 30.2 and I owned an Isabellina HPA which I felt sounded very nice and it had no noise I could hear w/ any of my headphones. So impressed was I with their sound that I have ordered a Signature 30.2 power amp to drive my K1000.
I am in the process of saving money to upgrade from the Isabellina HPA to the Isabella fully loaded. Is it the best? Who knows, considering what is out there I doubt it but to me and my ears it sounds very nice.
I also had on loan the ALO Amphora Amp which is the bases of the dynamic headphone amp in the Isabellina HPA. I felt the Amphora was also very nice sounding, although in the Isabellina HPA I felt it had more punch. Perhaps due to the higher voltage and amps driving it.
On my Isabellina HPA I had Vinnie install the 12 volt socket on the rear to power the Wadia i170 instead of the wall-wart that Wadia supplies. I tested and felt the sound was not as harsh w/ the battery providing the power to the Wadia i170.
Of course, none of the above means anything until each of the users has a chance to listen for himself/herself. Cheers.
