Sounds like a plan! If he needs any parts then he just has to ask... DEW EEETTTT!!!!

It's been quite a while. I'm thinking about building a few with very high end transformers and sell, just for kicks.

The output stage in the prototype was supposed to be DC coupled i.e. tubes to the headphones with nothing in between. They had issues with that so could have reverted back to the basic design of that circuit, i.e. the 2uf caps.

There are always Rudistor and RSA but overpriced and crap "engineering" springs to mind... This is being made to custom order in Japan and I know there are talks about offering a 117v/230v version. Nothing set in stone yet though. If it were the speakers in the cellphones which were the problem then it might be but that's clearly not the case. A cellphone is a powerful transmitter and it can't be good to have it next to the head all day. SR-007/313 as an entry level setup FTW!!!

Better caps matter but I'd rather spend the money on better topology, PSU etc. especially at these prices. What's strange is that the WES wasn't supposed to have output caps...

How about a community effort, build a BH for Doug?

So... it's about time to sell your body on the streets for some MOAR DACS??

That's a lot of heat in more ways then one.

The old Blue Hawaii sounded simply sublime with that set.

That's the worst of the lot IMO, it's just bland which strange given how well the same drivers perform in a Lambda chassis. I believe the had a KGSS, big black thing with no tubes? Btw. it's O2 as in Omega2...

This one seems to have only one primary on the transformer i.e. the input voltage can't be changed like on the old one. \

Happy Birthday!!

What Sigma did you listen to and off what amp? The Sigma 404 isn't like the other ones and you need a serious amp to drive them, even the normal bias unit needs a BH. I almost entirely listen to rock, metal etc.

It's rather, O2Mk1>modded Mk2, Ω/007> SR-Ω > HE60 > HE90 > Sigma/404 > K1k

The Omega's do retain most of their qualities regardless of the amp but the BH just makes it all moar better. Btw. Great impressions.

There is a set on A'gon right now.

I want.... If I'm not mistaken, that amp is so loaded with Black Gates that it would shame even the most hardcore modders.

Happy Birthday!

Those are some proper, manly speakers which make amps run and hide.

It's better to be utterly smashed because of the taste and since the brenniv

Yup. It does taste terrible though and should only be consumed when numbed by excessive drinking.

Screws to mount BH boards to some rather large heat sinks...

Some rotten shark and brenniv

Happy Birthday Todd!!!

Very power hungry to say the least since they are so... ehhh... small. A nice ESL63 would be a very nice option but do get them off the floor. Despite what Quad says, the new speakers are just redressed 63's with some extra panels on the 9 models. They must have asked Mikhail for help since MOAR!!! is always better...
