Stax SRM-727A...

For me it isn't even about better any more, just something different. I have two nearly finished amps sitting on my desk right now yet I spent the morning working on a project which I haven't touched for 6 months or more, HEV90/Aristaeus style amp with rare and obscure triodes...

I can't access the database for all Icelanders (never bothered to register) but given that parts of my family come from the same region it is highly probable.

I wonder if I can get a discount by proving I'm related to some famous vikings?

Yes, yes you did.

Yeah, he doesn't fit too well into the whole viking image...

It's not like I haven't been working on other projects... I have way too much stuff going on...

Went to pickup my car from the body shop after it had gotten a whole new front end or so I thought. Turns out they forgot about the main radiator fan (which had a huge chunk missing) so the engine rattled like a diesel. Ahh the joy of not having a car again..

Ohh I'm sure we are related, everybody here is. Turns out the singer from Sigur R

I for one enjoy music from that era from time to time, even Icelandic 80's music which ranges from bad to terrible. I for one can't stand "audiophile music" ...

Drivers can be repaired but if Stax would just sell us the parts we need then I'd be happy...

We had both though people were manly enough to carry all of the beer downstairs to meet Pete... All I can remember about meeting Pete is that he didn't believe I was Icelandic and then Jacob yelling at me...

Somebody really likes wax caps...

Mmmm beer.... 350pounds would be a easy as pie.

I'd say somewhere north of 1k$ up to maybe 1200$ for a truly mint set.

Woot, congrats to our Spanish friends!!! I would have liked to see Germany Vs. Holland if just for the deep rooted hatred which they have for each other...

Yup, they sure felt closed to me.

It's a damn shame...

Burn Notice is on right now and Party Down just finished its second season in case you didn't know...

That's a pretty big step upwards IMO in terms of design chops. Little Dot has all but abandoned their ESP amp project (lack of sockets or something lame like that was their excuse) but a cheap amp would be a very, very welcome thing in my book. There are plenty of tubes out there which are completely overlooked but would be great for a cheap ESP amp and there are plenty of simple amp topologies which would work great.

Speaking of Koss, look up "Factory Made" S02E21 to see one of the Koss models being made...

Thanks y'all!!! That picture makes me sad though, I want some Drunk Monk...

Thanks guys. It was indeed very nice of them to dig up Bobby Fisher for my party but sadly he was a bit tied up with his whole paternity deal. Had a nice day though, plenty of great food but sadly no cake. I'll make one for the weekend though.

Happy birthday my fellow Bakerboy!!

Congrats!!
