MY new source
I'm looking to build a similar costing computer speaker system. ^^ Just being patient right now, trying for good deals. Biggie.

I've been spoiled...
I disagree. The hp-2 mids and highs are extremely dry/dull. PS-1 gives the music a lot more life, even if it isn't as neutral. Biggie.

New Tiny SP
Lol PostJack, you inspired me to enter a new entry into UrbanDictionary.com: Sweetness Definition: What noobs over at the head-fi forum call ALO Cammo Hats. As these nubs become more experienced with the forum, they come to realize that their cammo hat is not in fact sweetness, but actually incredibly lame. Some of the worse off head-fiers get beaten up at school over their ALO hat after being asked by their classmates what ALO is, leading to the kid mistakenly pulling out his $150+ ALO wire (worth $10 in parts) and totally alienating all of his friends. Note that there are no real girls on head-fi, so only teenage boys are at risk. Example: Dude, my new ALO hat is total sweetness. Biggie.

Dude, if it comes with a matching ALO dock I am fucking in! Biggie.

What do you do with your bad tubes?
I find a lot of tubes I get off ebay are microphonic.. Biggie.

What do you guys use for pc audio? Biggie.

Silver Interconnects
No question copper ic's can sound harsh. But I've heard many smooth copper ic's and very few silver ones. Biggie.

pc source question
I'm running a pair of monsoon mm 1000's off my stock soundcard. I'm thinking of a source upgrade but I'm not sure what my best option is. The speakers are self powered so I'm looking at: -cheap soundcard + external dac -good soundcard -usb dac The combo needs to be able to play music and games. Performance isn't an issue. I'm wondering where I'm going to get the best sound quality and bang for the buck from. Price range is whatever it takes to get something nice. Biggie.

Silver Interconnects
Look for silver cables with dead soft annealed silver. Otherwize the cables is going to be harsher then comparable copper cables. If you settle for anything less, at first you'll think 'wow theres no much detail and clarity in my system', then a month later you won't even want to listen to your system and not realize why. ^^ Biggie.

Ultrasone Edition 9
My ps-1 is the bass heavy and the bass lite version. Depends on what tubes I'm using. Biggie.

Ultrasone Edition 9
Yeah mulveling liked them so much he's already sold them. And he likes Qualia's better so what can you really say. I love hyping products then selling them. Biggie.

Things you've always wondered about
Yeah I've ever wanted to know how dildos are made. Biggie.

I want to play a game
Mmmm, can I cut my self then? Biggie.

I want to play a game
I would slap myself for being so shortsided and not hoarding the tubes I enjoyed the best in my amp. Biggie.
-
Oh no. I think I busted my RS-1s.
Well there was no music playing when your driver blew correct? That tells me that the amp sent your phones something they couldn't handle. 1. I've been told this is bad practice 2. This is bad if your tube amp doesn't have a dummy load (no load = bad) Biggie.
-
Oh no. I think I busted my RS-1s.
Maybe you should look into getting an amp that doesn't blow up your headphones. Biggie.
-
AC Power for tube filaments, surprisingly good
Nice find. Now that I think of it, my amp was converted to use DC heaters. Before the mods (hooking the headphones up to the speaker posts using resistors) the amp was noticeably more noisy. Biggie.

GCHA?
I wasn't impressed with it. Typical dull ss sound with blurry imaging. Biggie.

cheapest glue/adhesive thats bonds to plastic?
Ok, but I'm hoping to find something even cheaper then gorilla glue hehe. I read that it expands a lot? Biggie.
-
cheapest glue/adhesive thats bonds to plastic?
Its a plastic hammond case. The glue doesn't have to be too sticky, but I fear something like white glue wouldn't bond well and end up flaking off over time. Biggie.

see title. ^^ Biggie.

The Great Dac search
"i think the vda is a little faster, but not as clear... so it can get more "messy" sounding in complicated sections" That statement there tells me the guy might not know what he is talking about. Biggie.

HELL HATH FROZEN OVER! [and a tube question for Earl]
I bought some dampeners off ebay and they melted on the el34 tubes. The herbies version didn't melt so I like it better. Biggie.

Mini meet at a local store
Approximate total cost? ^^ Biggie.
