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.

I'll let you all know my impressions if Peter brings it. He should be here in 30min or so. It IS who's board? Neither Dusty nor myself are Admin's here.

Unsure. I will ask Peter for details tomorrow and see what he will let me post about it. pabbi1 - I think I have to give this one to Dusty. My comments made no sense given that I had already posted the picture of the EA-4. Dusty - Just to clarify, the EA-4 has actually 'been out' for some time, but the look of all Peter's amps was recently updated and he took this as an opportunity to update his webpage with most of the models he offers as well as hosting the new pictures. I think he still forgot to put up the PL12 though, which my balanced amp will be based on.

Yeah, I forgot that I posted that earlier. Sorry about that. The EA-4 is pretty and versatile, but basically an EA-1. My bad.

That line I quoted in my last post reminds me a little of massive attack... "I was lookin' back to see if you were lookin' back to see me lookin' back at you" Yeah, I don't think his newest design is up on the website yet. Hopefully he will be bringing it along with his Omega 2's to my mini-meet this Saturday.

I bow down before your your majesty king fucking pedantness! [seriously, that was a treat to read] Actually, I am not completely sure that is the newest design. I would double check with him first to clarify. Yes.

Nice! Can't wait to hear about the mods. PS. Just realized you can see my Wife in the reflection of the screen.

Funny thing about using that word. It makes you sound like what you are insulting. I don't read it that way at all. Your is also correct when addressing a larger audience. Where exactly can I find 'the buck'? Is it in Yikes' wallet?

Well... both phrases when placed in quotes return 10 pages on Google, so I think it is safe to say that they're both highly used. My primary problem with "bang for the buck" is it makes you sound like an ESL student while "bang for your buck" seems to be a more correct phrasing.

Awesome, can't wait to hear your results.

AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! It's BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!!!!!!!!!! Damnit, I fucking hate that. Cool, sorry if I was insulting with my comment. You might want to contact Peter about his new electrostatic amp design though... he seems pretty confident that it is the 'best EVAR'.

True, but you haven't heard Peter's new amp!

Higher price does not always mean higher performance, but to each their own.
