Yeah man, I totally agree... pshhh, cables. What Ever!

That is what I was afraid you were going to say.

Nice looking AKG's! I've been wanting to hear the 'parabolics' for a while.

Yeah, it sucks... but it has been a learning experience. And who knows, I might even get it working at some point. One of the main things I've learned is trust your gut. I've never had a problem with KG designs and have the utmost respect for his work. I should have just gone with my gut reaction an built the Bamaslama. The fact that I allowed myself to be convinced into another [untried] design based on some fancy talking was a mistake. But hey, at least I'm not afraid of my soldering iron now!

I'd be interested in mikhails take on using the 6H30 in an amp. I've had very little luck so far myself, but I am almost at the point where I am going to scrap the design and start over. I really wish I would have just gone with the KG Bamaslama design as I had originally intended. I am considering going that route now and maybe trying to use the 6H30 in both positions [since I have a matched quad of them], but I'd need someones help picking out the resistor values. This tube amp design is hard work... gives me a lot of respect for those that can do it right.

Wait a sec... isn't the Blue Hawaii based on the SRM T-2? EDIT - Looks like the Doctor beat me to it.

Nope, I haven't heard them either.

My guess is that it is either a big vacuum tube or a bong he is making. Or maybe he is making a bong out of a big vacuum tube?

Can't wait to hear grandenigma's old set once xand1x gets his hands on them. We need to get a balanced amp so that we can compare them to my K340's as they were 'meant to be heard'.

Franky I am surprised that I haven't been banned on Head-Fi yet. I am still sort of confused why everyone has been banned recently. Was that the reason this forum was created?

Just popping in to say hey.
