So we compromised: He gets my ex wife + a case of condoms. Glad I got to keep my left nut. I've kinda grown attached to it.

Jin and I are in negotiations. I told him no to my house + my first borne + my left nut + my ex wife, in exchange for the audiophile usb. Well he can have my ex wife.

Send me a PM Shill Master.

I'm looking for an external USB sound card to use with RMAA. Sorry but my cheap laptop has no Firewire ports. Some options: M-Audio Transit Edirol UA-1EX M-Audio Audiophile USB M-Audio MobilePre E-MU 0404 USB Any comments on the above or others would be appreciated. Renato

I hope you ordered it. Click on my link again to see the new price.

How about this one? http://www.softmagic.ca/_e/Film_Scanners/product/A15%2DBBM31%2DC/product.asp?pf_id=9900%2D40905%2D00&dept_id=16-003 It will probably be about the same price after all the other costs are added up.

Anybody know why there are 60 and 120Hz residuals(?) in the Predator graphs?

I'm glad it found a good home, enjoy! Renato

Thanks. Happy Birthday knuckledragger .....and.... Matt. R

Happy Birthday!

If you have trouble finding 10m45's let me know... I stocked up. If you want to use a pcb for the ccs it looks like dsavitsk will have some available soon. http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?postid=1359849#post1359849 Renato

Sour Grapes! Go back to Head-Fi with your friends.

Happy Birthday Jay! Renato

Found the TubelabSE PCB info here: http://tubelab.com/se_amp_pc.htm

Or the Tubelab Simple SE (ie. not DHT). Also not sure the Tubelab SE board is available which would mean PTP. Renato

Thanks I couldn't remember the proper name. It's definitely not my amp warming up. They don't do it day to day. It was really obvious when I heard them for the first time after I bought them. The change was in the highs so something was going on with the electret. If not charging up, then does anyone have a plausible explanation? Renato

I had this happen to mine. It seems if they sit without being used for a long time they need some break-in time. I attributed it to the electrostatic driver re-energizing itself. Renato

I'll do my best to be there. Who's bringing the RS-1? As Phil... said, there is probably more difference between production runs than between my MS-Pro and Fierce Freak's RS-1 (even the color of the cups). Bring the HP-2 if you want to come. Renato

Parts Connexion just recently started matching 6C33's and selling matched pairs. http://www.partsconnexion.com/econnexion/nov07/november_2007.html#6C33C The Zana Deux is capacitor coupled, no? So, same difference, there is something between the tube and your headphones that will hopefully protect them. Renato

"The Patch"

There's some info here: http://renatod.googlepages.com/home It hasn't been updated in a while but the basics are there. Notes/changes: My Aikido is based on the high impedance schematic. Output stage cathode resistors are now 69 ohms and bypassed by 75uF film caps. Components in box "not on PCB" are not used. Output caps are 220uF Solens. R* in PSU is 10 ohms. Diode across choke is deleted. Hammond 169RS transformer. Hammond 169T choke. 15-18v 3A switching power supply, followed by LM350T linear regulator set for 12v for heater supply. RCA 6GU7, Sovtek 6H30 recommended. It will be cased up with I'm done with it. ~Renato

How about one of these? Interesting read: http://www.tubecad.com/2006/05/blog0065.htm
