Yeah, I seemed to recall his name from reading mods on audioasylum IIRC. Seemed like a nice guy at the time, and the mods seemed plausible and not idiotic (like putting crystals on shit, etc.). I guess if he can get those kinds of prices and the users seem to like the product, then fine. I hear you on me paying that kind of money for what he is providing however.

When I had jvlgato's pair, both my SE Dynalo and Dynahi drove these quite well. They did not sound good on my brother's torpedo amp however.

^ That don't look like no sister...

Ehhhh... that sucks.

Have you had anyone look at it Reks? There is a thread about muting problems (which sounds like a possibility with yours) on diyaudio... unfortunately the OP didn't bother posting any resolution. Hate when people don't follow up on shit like that http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/digital-source/163463-crazy-cd-player-problem-completely-muted.html

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Gene!

Had being the key word, I suppose?

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Best of luck Doug! Look very cool...

Might be more symmetrical as RSA The Protector and The Protector from the RSA... A schematic would be nice also

Happy Birthday Bryan!

What neutriks are these?

Congrats on starting the new job Bryan!

Happy Birthday!

I would have expected that an amp like the Zana would already be using the good amphenol mil-spec (did I really say that?) connectors at that price point. Didn't Mike (absorbine) have that same problem with his at a Chicago meet a few years ago?

Had a Two Brothers Resistance, and then a Cain and Ebel last night at Two Brothers brewpub... tasty! Might have to go back

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

As far as garish goes, those aren't too bad Chris. Hope the narrow works out for you.

Could be interesting...

The 10uA should be useful. Was setting up my test fixture (if you can call it that) last night, and going thru some previous measurements. I'm using 24uA Ib and Ic is ~12-15mA. 10mA is probably my Ic target in general. On a BL device, the 10uA would get me to between 3.5 and 7mA Ic which is probably close enough. I have no idea what the POS Centras or whatever that Harbor Freight DMM uses for hFe... probably much less than 10uA though.

^ Do they do engraved lettering (and filled) over this? And how closely would this match an otherwise anodized enclosure (or I guess painted in the case of the top and bottom panels). Starting to sound like just getting the aluminum panels from Modushop might be the way to go.

Of course the case is black. All I really need done is painting or silkscreen or something to look like your rear panel. Not in a huge hurry, so I'll keep looking/thinking. Shipping from Modushop for a pair of panels is more than the panels themselves... damn Italian post.
