Very cool, with some vibration control and better [and bigger maybe] fans it should be an excellent budget balanced amp.

Happy Birthday Jack!!!

Well, I've never heard the VTGs, JPNs, or the Leatherheads and I've always been interested. Oh, and STFU WTFBBQ.

Sweet.

Thanks deepak. I've been busy and haven't even had time for my headphone rig. Still managed to visit head-fi a bit as using the HTTPS side allows me to buypass my works 'netnanny' bullshit. Was listening to my rig for the first time in a while this weekend and realized I hadn't been here in quite a while. I know it is off topic, but can we enable the HTTPS side on Headcase? It would allow me to hang out here at work, which would rule.

Nice score Jay... even I was considering those NOS VTGs on headfi, and I've yet to hear an AT headphone that I liked.

Listening to my 16 channel amplifier as I write this. Did I get that math right, or do the pentodes count too? If so make that a 20 channel amp. Anyways, it is pretty sad that a $50 cheesy DAC was used to 'upgrade' a squarewave. I have no idea how good/bad the tech in the amp is, but at least he is printing and stuffing his own boards. Makes me wonder about Mikhail a bit. I mean, we've always gotten along and he seems sincere, but is he just a really good salesman who takes advantage of my trusting nature? I've always thought that Ray is a genuinely nice/good person who has a poor technical grasp but tries his hardest and cares about his customers. If even half of what has been said in this thread is true, I can't give the same benefit of doubt to Mikhail.

Do we get a headcase discount? I'm shopping around for some nice copper XLRs at the moment.

Congrats, I love the Moth Audio aesthetic.

Happy belated Birthday Todd!

Not even I am that stupid.

Hey Matt, Didn't notice this thread until now. I hope you're doing alright... I know how hard something like this can be. Are you still in TO? When you feel up to it we should go trolling the bars for hoes.

lol

A little late, but congrats Nate.

Good IEMs can sound amazing... Until you get tired of them. You'll come back to the fold eventually, but until you do enjoy them fancy earbuds.

Cool, I wonder if they sell these in Canada. I'd love to have cases for my K340's and RS-1's for when I take them on the road.

dc - That looks sweet, not that pricey either all things considered.

Just to add to what guzzi said about the K340s needing lots of current... Though they do need a fair bit, what they really need to sound their best is lots of voltage swing. This is the main reason that amps ideal for the K1000 often are poor matches for the K340 and visa versa.

I think our baking soda and cocaine are the same here as in the US of A.

Wow, that bears a remarkable resemblance to my day. Well, minus the going to class part...

Probably a tossup between Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra and The Gossip. I've only seen Antibalas once, but it was a great show. People of all ages, denominations, etc... just having a great time. The amount of people involved in the show was shocking, and the performance excellent. I think Tyrion saw them live as well and can back me up here. The Gossip I've seen many times and will continue to see whenever I get the chance. Beth Ditto has an energy about her that is very engaging. I'd gladly watch her perform all day. The music is pretty damn good as well.

I like how this was posted in the Drink forum. I'm enjouying a nice Shiraz right now myself btw... wasn't expecting much given the plastic bottle 1L format, but it's pretty damn good. [silver Leaf 2006 from SE Australia]

Congrats and best of luck.
