Welcome to my world. I'm capped at 80gb but they go fast...

I need a picture of the taps but it looks like there is a missing wire @ the nr.5 slot.

The WES would certainly give you a different presentation from the BHSE but it will not be "better", even with you tube and cap rolling until you are blue in the face. It might work better with the HE-90 and SR-Omegas of the world since true wire with gain isn't what they need. The one I have was a gift from Afrikane that I really should finish fixing one of these days...

Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday!!

I just got my VC99 and first impressions are good. The build quality is pretty good and the screen is nice and clear. It also handled adjusting Stax bias just fine where most cheap meters overload the bias supply and thus give the wrong voltage. Looks like Marc has nothing to fear from me...

Toshiba has some cool N-channels (2SC5563 for instance which goes in the upgraded KGSS) but no P channels to match.

The Blue Hawaii is the ultimate amp for most people. It may not be the end all amp it would take a lot of money to make something noticeably better. What I'd like to see is just how far we can push SS amps since the BH and T2 take good care of the tube side.

Two and on the AC and the smaller ones are for the HV PSU

Great impressions but now we need detailed internal pics of both sides of the PCB so that we can know what Stax really did in this rather rare amp...

Happy Birthday!!!

Justin would have to confirm it but the BH design calls for the tubes to be run at 20W each.

I'm in

Ditto but I will change it to a BNC soon. BNC input on my Audio Sector Dac1

Not well enough apparently since the SP motto was to have at least 2 joints (insulation optional) in any length of wire...

The Trends UD10.1 has a BNC output and so do other USB based transports.

Happy Birthday!!

It would require an adapter but it would work.

The Lambda Pro Classic/Spirit was its replacement and that was released in 1992 so somewhere around that time.

No arguments here...

You are doing well my young friend but you need more overkill and frankenphones. Before I went nuts I had a SR-007/Blue Hawaii but even that wasn't enough to stop the evil thoughts from appearing, "I wonder how those crazy Sigma's would sound..." etc.

75ohm coax cable and 75ohm BNC's are you are set.

True but I really believe Mikhail would be up for the job.

It would have exploded...
