I didn't even notice until GlendaleViper posted about the outage over at Dungeon-Fidelity. Now that I know, it is sort of bothering me though.

Happy Birthday Billy!!!

I wonder how many people actually work for Meitner?

The Luna is a great amp, my favorite from the first National with my K340s... and that includes the SDS-XLR and Headroom Balanced Max. Though the Singlepower was rolled with tubes to match the R10s, so who knows if more appropriate K340 tubes were used.

I've heard this before and it puzzles me, but I guess it could be a preference thing. I used to own a pair of HF-1's, and I liked them well enough, but I thought the RS-1 was a clear step up with the right amp. Recently I've been falling back into the Grado camp, and flirting with the RS-1 and MS-Pro. Maybe I should give the HF-1's another listen given my new tastes. Also, though I know there must be some variance in Larry's mods, I thought that the HHF-1's I heard [pixel_pusher's pair] were actually worse than my stock HF-1's back when I owned them.

I'm the same way. At least you know that your final product will be in perfect working order and built to your specifications... not all manufacturers are so reliable that way.

Why? You've got an RS-1. I wouldn't bother personally.

Agreed.

Nice! Can't wait to see the beast.

Sweet, that's what I was thinking of. I was also pretty happy with my T-Amp/Polk RTi4 setup with my computer. Thats been regulated to the TV/Wii now though and I use my QP85's and a mosfet amp on my computer.

Crap, can't remember what they are called... little planar speakers made for the computer... come on, someone help me out here. Anyways, heard them in windsor and they were pretty decent.

Have you tried comparing crazy powerful tube monoblocks to your Krells Tom?

Oh yeah, well I convert DSD to PCM for fun!

I almost built it [or had you/Renato build it for me rather ]... the only bitch is finding tube sockets that don't melt if I remember correctly.

LOL, great post.

Maybe you're wearing them wrong? At a recent meet I played around with positioning on the RS-1's and Ms-Pro's I was listening to and it made a remarkable difference.

Fair enough.

Ah, that Joy.

Joy who?

No, you just say it a lot.

Looking closer at it... kit for $99... uses 6H30. I have 4 6H30's that I'm not using. Could this circuit be balanced if you bought two kits?

How many times you you type 'Oh snap' in one day?

Good point.

Congrats on the RS-1's buddy! I'm so jealous. I hope you didn't pay full price for them Eaphan... the MS-Pro's are so much cheaper given the direct from Alessandro price and the strength of our dollar.

More likely is that you had the bass heavy K340's and they weren't happy in your setup. To be honest, the Audio Technicas I've heard are the A900, the W1000 and the W100. From what I understand in my readin' those VTG's and L3000 drivers are quite a bit different. I wouldn't be surprised if I liked them. Ummm, I think it is clear that we are making playful jibes at eachother [or at least that is how I took it]. I always call IEM's fucking earbuds, it is part of my witty charm. As for the K701s, no, I don't see how someone could prefer them to a K340... but unlike Art, I don't tell people that they are wrong. I just voice my opinion. You are more than welcome to prefer the K701, but I'm allowed to think that is completely whack!
