  1. I like the boy, and TVR's as well. TVR's may be shoddily built, but they go like stink......
  2. Why not coat the knobs with a light coat of clear varnish/lacquer to lock the moisture in and prevent oxidisation?

  4. This place is getting scary......
  5. He definitely needs the Taket H2+
  6. What is not to love about Head-Fi..? You gotta be kidding. The entertainment value alone is priceless.
  7. . This has to be a GOOD thing.
  8. poach eggs.
  9. Wouldn't it be novel if instead of asking opinions, and getting a swathe of different opinions, we all just bought what we thought would do us, and change it if we didn't like it. Or, go to meets and listen to what's on offer and buy what we can that is closest to our ideal as dictated by our wallet. Ask any two head-fiers of their opinion of headphone X, and get three different opinions.
  10. My Taket is waiting............
  11. YMMV greatly.
  12. The DIYT3 ? or KGSS-SHV
  13. http://www.righteouswoods.net/snakewood.html
  14. Tasmanian blackwood, Redgum, Jarrah or Irombark......
  15. (Quote) and had 2 cracks by the time i got it home. (Quote). Those aren't cracks, they're features........
  16. Rodrigo, Stax connectors arrived safely. Many thanks.....
  17. Posted some photos at the other forum of a sunset on the 10th..... http://www.head-fi.org/t/256063/post-your-photography-here-2-new-dial-up-800x600-friendly/9375 Would post them here except i can't figure out how to do it. Must be "old-timers" getting to me.........
  18. Noted the flaw in the second pic at just below 3 o'clock. That's a conversation starter. Something for the nosy pedants to pontificate about........
  19. Looks like F2 only protects the meter lamp PL1 ( 6.3Vac @ 250mA) . Since lamps have a low resistance when cold the current rating is higher than the current drain when they are at operating temperature. Any 500mA fuse would work. The fuse part number XBA2F05NU100 is a Panasonic number. $4.51 each. http://www.ued.net/ued/viewItemAction.do?itemCode=MSCXBA1F05NU100
  20. Get the Bose, so that you can climb every step up the HiFi ladder to Staxland.... DR. Dre and Skullcandy await your sonic delectation......
  21. Thanks Rodrigo.....
  22. We used to have a 1kilowatt amplifier that we tested wattmeters with that had Beryllium oxide inside as part of the heatsink compound formula. Wikipedia. Beryllium oxide (BeO), also known as beryllia, is an inorganic compound with the formula BeO. This colourless solid is a notable electrical insulator with a higher thermal conductivity than any other non-metal except diamond, and actually exceeds that of some metals.[2] As an amorphous solid, beryllium oxide is white. Its high melting point leads to its use as a refractory.[3] It occurs in nature as the mineral bromellite. Historically and in materials science, beryllium oxide was called glucina or glucinium oxide. Like all beryllium compounds, BeO is carcinogenic and may cause chronic beryllium disease. Once fired into solid form, it is safe to handle as long as it is not subjected to any machining that generates dust.[8] Beryllium oxide ceramic is not a hazardous waste under Federal law in the USA.
  23. real men use Beryllium, and laugh at the toxicity as they mutate........
  24. About half a kilo of C4 strapped to the O2 sounds about right. That will put the bangs per buck back into the purchase........
  25. Oh, No - they got Spritzer........
