Big is bettah, right.....? perhaps not......

Go Hi or go home.........

OK, Starving Student....

Balanced Dynahi.......

For some, Ugly Betty is Scarlett Johansen - and vice cersa........

He just got Warren Chi as his manager.

So, we could run a thousand or more amps off it without loading down the output........

Let's face it, innovation is still innovation - even if it is a dog's breakfast.........

Why would you want an amp to do the job of a preamp?.

Heated is good. It shows a passion for what is being discussed.....

Hope the new L-300 is as good as the SR-202...

with appendages like that, I'd go for a Sigma or a 4070.........

If you don't get your next Mouser order - it wuz legit......

That's like buying the new Senn Orpheus and dicing the stupid marble base for a noice chartreuse pvc item a friend crafted on his new 3D printer... Replace the stock volume control with an RK27, . . . Ditch the glitzy valve covers for perforated nickel plated steel items... Hoik the volume control knob for a pvc item in lurid purple made by the friend with the 3D printer. Replace the fuses with silver coated titanium wire and insist that they are unidirectional items. Scrap the headphones for the earliest version of the Kingsound, but block the backs so that they become closed units. Replace the power cable with a Virtual Dynamics "JUDGE" sourced from Coconut Audio. And - as the piece de resistance - paint the chassis with a dark green chalkboard paint so that it shows up no dust..... I wonder how Sennheiser would handle any warranty claims on this one. I'd be inclined to stick ESP950 badges on it and send it to Koss, and see if they come to the party.......

Singlepower, for sure......

Does that POS stand for what I think it does? i.e. it's a piece of moist brown...? ...and the complementary part marked NEG stands for Not Even Genuine....? ... or, perhaps, Not Even Good...?

My profile..? Bald head, stub nose and receding chin...... impressive..?

I'll be impressed when I hear your finished Carbons.....

But... everyone knows that carbon resistors give a nice organic sound signature.... think 1960's transistor radio........

but... but... it looks so threatening.......

Amazing.......... Call Ripley....... http://www.ripleys.com/

I guess if you paid me enough to like something I didn't like that would be questionable integrity and ethics on my part. I could be laughing all the way to the bank. and.... I could take my place next to all those nice snake oil salesmen, used car salesmen, bankers, lawyers, politicians, etc. A fine crowd to be found hobnobbing with.

This is about the current flow through the headphones when there is no input. If you were getting rail voltages, the amp would be seriously broken. You calculate the curent flow through the impedance/resistor ( the headphones) by the voltage across the impedance/resistance divided by the impedance/resistance. i.e. I=E/R 2.27/50=0.0454A = 45.4mA. 2.34/562=0.0042A = 4.2mA If you had 30V into 35 Ohms = 30/35=0.857A = 857mA More realistically 2.27/35 = 0.0649A = 64.9mA.

Only if you use one channel, or use it in balanced/bridged mode.
