War Moochine?

I had no idea he was that old. I thought he was in his 50s.

Even I don't dislike those two drinks enough to consider this sort of thing a viable alternative. If I'm tired, I sleep or nap. Caffeine gives me crushing headaches. With DIY mishaps, the pain is less reliabily localised.

St. Andrews doesn't have an engineering dept would be the biggest hurdle.

I sent out the draft design, the company told me to budget the order of

You earn a new pirate name though. Smeggy Nine Fingers. Scars are cool anyway.

Indeed.

Took marginally longer for krmathis to repost the pictures onto head-fi than I had bet on in my head. Hello Kai be nice if you chimed in once in a while.

This is my happy place right here. http://www.thismanwillkillyou.com/bunf/Head-Case/AMT%231/AMT%20%231-Full.jpg

Pardon my additional ignorance, what is the ill effect of not plugging in a headphone? Surely the amp will be sort of "oh theres nothing plugged in, this is EASY, ho hum, I think I'll read the paper and put my feet up"?

If it's Hogwash then I shall bathe in it old boy. Bathe in it!

EGAD SIR!

He's gay so it's possible. I don't know the other chap.

Once I've done all and sorted all, I'll post it up in detail, but it won't be an easy or cheap end process. This is less a mod than building a headphone from parts that need custom fabrication and unlike say, a turned SFI housing, the peculiar shape of the AMT driver makes things tricky. I very much doubt that Precide will sell the drivers seperately, although I have not enquired of Sugden. If they do they will not be cheap, the magnet coating issue is also something that fundamentally should not be happening and may or may not have been corrected in the time since the headphone was first released (mine were an older example to start with and the problems with the version1 Aulos speaker design were rectified.) Fortuitously, if one is careful, it does not mean the crippling or the death of the drivers. If you did get a set of the drivers you'd also have to build yourself one of the notch filter/impedance matching boxes that Precide supply with the headphone and I seem to have lost the specs for the parts in that. You might be able to read them from the photos I took for the review way back when. Its just a couple of capacitors and coil and a resistor. I'll be building my own one out of better parts once the headphone is finished because I don't want to be lumbered with that damnable Hirschmann connector when we have XLR these days.

Marginally less ghetto. I'm still waiting for a quote from a company about doing the housing for me. If it's within reason, I'll trundle on. If its going to be more expensive than I can go for, I'll sell something. Like my speakers. These are that good, and thats bearing in mind I just strip rebuilt both drivers because the coatings had peeled off 27 of the 28 magnets (and the one remaingin won't even start to peel to match the others.) They lost some efficiency because of that because the magnets are now further from the diaphragm. I may contact a magnet company in due course to replace the current magnets with ones which are the original size. (2x3x40mm).

No single ended outputs? Most curious.

Indeedizzle.

Nah. Thats the last couple weeks listening talking. I've only had 2 Camparis which isn't even enough to get me air drumming. I did change my mind on liking the TakeT more after a time, but I'm less certain this wil go the same way. Birgir will play the Blue Hawaii card of course Precide seriously fucking crippled the potential of this driver.

Dr Hooley on the right.

1) AMT #1 2) Omega 2 3.2) TakeT H2 3.5) K1000 Sorry Birgir, I've outdone Stax with my greasy soldering iron, 2 rusty Heil drivers, 2 crusty pairs of old stax pads, a mutilated HD201, some sellotape and some blu-tac. (and a Moon Audio Black Dragon cable)

That Chris Hooley wannabe on the right has a really small Guinness.

I loved that cricket video.

Superglue had better be my best friend too, it was a stupid thing to do. I had taken apart the two pieces of metal and put one down to the side after cleaning the magnets... .. except i put it down, face down, on top of my pc. Which is steel. And when I tried to pick it off again *shlurp*, panel came away in hand, magnets stuck to pc case. I wish I'd taken pictures.

This gets reposted anytime someone asks about burning in a headroom amp.
