Not sure, send him an email and ask.

If MAD doesn't charge tax that is sort of against the law is it not? As for the no credit cards thing... you could just eat the $2 fee and do a cash advance. It drives my K340's better than the PPX SLAM did, and sounds great. Beyond that I can't say much as it has been months since I have heard one of Mikhails amps.

Just in case you missed it, here is the thread I was talking about. There are pics of what the PL10 looks like now... quite a bit different that what is shown on his website. http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=192972

You may want to consider McAlister Audio in addition to Mapletree. Take a look at the thread on head-fi for a recent mini meet we held. His new amps look hot, sound great and best of all... they're inexpensive.

You should just get them recabled with a HE90 connector... You know... Larry woodied his.

Not to 'steal the thunder' of this thread, but I would also like a recomendation for a 4 conductor cable with portable use in mind for my upcomming K81DJ recable.

I'm seeing this on Sunday with my Wife... we're both pretty excited. All your Snakes are belong to us!!!

Well, I haven't done any critical listening yet, but it is a BIG step up from my onboard sound. I think that once I replace the EXTREMELY crappy potentiometer in my T Amp I will be in pretty good shape for my modest computer audio setup.

Seconded.

Huh? Must be missing something...

The three rightmost girls are my personal favourites. Not that the rest are bad...

Did you see the new clock that Lars Clausen designed? www.newclassd.com Would be interesting to see what he thinks of it. As for 'all the active components' in the ZapFilter, sounds like he just doesn't agree with the design. I know I liked what I heard in the Zhaolu Renato modded, though I am not opposed to there being a better solution out there somewhere.

What doesn't he like about the zapfilter? Good luck.

You may want to contact looser101 first with your price as I know Renato has been thinking about picking up a pair. Hopefully you get things worked out though. I knew that is what is was! Glad to hear you fixed that.

Really!?!?! I know man, it is just that from his K340 thread, it looked like they were getting more use than his Sennheisers.

What about the K340's?

If you have a balanced rig, go with balanced. Maybe you can see if he will do all the other mods except the output stage at a reduced price... then install a zapfilter on the output.

Woah, that is absolutely insane. I'm glad my amp is going to use 'cheap' tubes.

Anyone considering the LC audio clock may also want to take a look at Lars Clausen's new company www.newclassd.com as he has another clock design he has released under that name that looks quite a bit more impressive. I've been meaning to contact him for a while to make sure that he is not designing any new output stages before I buy the ZapFilter.

But I thought you had the electrets replaced by AKG and they let you keep the old ones? From what I understood there was actually nothing wrong with the old pair? Or was it the bass drivers you had replaced? As I said though, open them up and make sure there is no cotton or anything stuck to that left electret or between the electret and the dynamic driver. I would also doubt check that the wiring isn't shorting or broken somewhere on the left channel.

'Pretty OK' huh? Is the USB DAC-201 much better? It is comparible price wise.

Probably just some cotton stuck to part of the electret. At least you have extras, the rest of us dont!

Hey guys, unfortunately Peter was unable to bring the new electrostatic amp. He confirmed that it is a step up from the EA-1 and EA-1. Should retail for around $1500. He did bring one of his newer PL10 amps though and, well, I think I am going to be happy with the balanced amp he is building me. More on that later. Need to clean up my apartment and relax a bit today. We had a late night.

Strange, that is definately not how I hear it. I think part of the confusion here comes with the two very different sounding stock K340's and the combination of mods used. As you have noticed, every little change tweaks the sound a little bit. I guess I am just happy with the total of the differences, where it didn't work out for you. I am glad you are getting closer to the sound you want though.

Aliacha - I sold my Squeezebox to n_maher, sorry.
