The Headcase Stax thread
If John wants to see which HP is better balanced, he should try listening to them whilst standing on one leg. Whichever one makes him fall over is either the one that goes out the door because the sound is unbalanced, or the one that he keeps because he's floored by it's performance. tread carefully, John.....

I haven't tried this, but am assured it works..... You mix borax powder with vanilla sugar. The vanilla sugar has to be the real deal and not immitation vanilla. The scenario is that the ants take the small grains back into their nest and the borax kills the whole colony. Apparently, the ants love the vanilla and sugar. Supposedly great for other denizens. For cockroaches, use vanilla sugar and plaster of paris. When the cockies eat the mix the gastric juices mix with the plaster of paris and sets in their stomach, blocking the works and killing them. Worth a try.

Do driver tubes need to be matched?
I used to use an ink rubber in the day when I used valves. You used to be able to purchase a rubber/eraser that was half pencil eraser and half ink eraser. You could use a emery board for nails, steel wool etc. Deoxit and Deoxit Gold as a finish is excellent. Something like this, but a heck of a lot cheaper. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Faber-Castell-Natural-Rubber-Ink-Rubber-Eraser-X-5-Fountain-Pen-Typewriter-/221196935107

Sennheiser HD 800 Redux
I remember that way back in the '80's. Used to have a double pole switch with centre position on the amp chassis so you could lift the earth or insert the cap in circuit. One of the options usually solved the problem

Or, you could mount the traffo & regulator under the relay board.

How about mounting the relay board on it's side? That may give you room for a small potted traffo & rectifier/filter board for the relay board.

Sennheiser HD 800 Redux
I'm in the process of building a box that allows me to put in 310 ohms resistance in each positive line of a headphone to see what the difference it makes. Why 300 ohms? I have a beyer T1 in my collection that's 600 ohms. It has a 12 position rotary switch and a 3 position rotary switch in each leg. So, there's 110 ohms with 10 ohm resistors in the first switch. 200 Ohms with 100 ohm resistors in the second switch. Also has a toggle switch to plug in/out 5 ohms. It will be capable of handling the normal 6.5mm TRS plug & 4 pin balanced XLR connectors. I am debating whether to add 3 pin XLR connectors to the mix. Should prove interesting.

Pin 1 should be grounded on the panel by one of the mounting screws which hold the socket to the chassis. Make sure the panels are grounded to the base by removing any paint, powdercoating etc.

Is it my imagination, or is something wrong with the Dymahi BOM?

XXXX is pronounced fourex. we have a running joke down here that the Queenslanders didn't introduce daylight saving time there for decades because they were worried the extra hour of sunlight would fade their curtains faster.

Now, there's an idea with merit. It could mean the SR009 successor would not be as bright, possibly somewhere between the SR009 & SR007Mk1. I'd want one.......

Those are links connecting tracks on the other side of the board. Yes, leave them alone.
