Wow, OP got out of here alive... Re. the ATH ES7s, I bought a pair of them and they sounded so good I immediately returned them. I guess I could have asked "Will burn-in make me like these?", but I didn't...

I thought digger had a larger hifi2000 case for sale, maybe a 4U or 5U... not sure if he sold it already or not.

I dunno. I had a pair of DT-880s for awhile; got em from jeff (VPI). Nice midrange. Yes, a bit bass shy, and a bit bright. But very clear. And very comfortable. They had a number of qualities that I preferred over say HD-650s. A lot of this postulating somewhat depends on the idea of a house sound. I'm not sure that all manufacturers have or attain one throughout their product line. And I agree with posty on the aardvark comment. Some of these threads start to take on the very qualities that we deem shovel worthy from others.

Happy Birthday!

Anyone ever listen to the Fischer FA-003s? My brother bought a pair and is going to lend them to me...

Happy Birthday!

You may be onto something here Reks... left channel in my brother's amp also went...

The far right fuse looks a little different, but doesn't really mean anything. Saw one thread on diyaudio regarding these, something about loose RCA grounds: Seeking help- something caused HUGE noise - diyAudio Do you have a meter, but just not there? At a minimum I would check the DC offset on both inputs if you have access to a DMM. And I have gotten schematics for free from Adcom just by asking them via email (if it comes to that). EDIT: A bit of info in this thread as well (see post 34) http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/solid-state/56735-adcom-gfa535-bad-transformer-3.html And follow Doug's advice

Happy Birthday Dinny!

These should work: CPF3100R00FKB14 CPF3100K00FKE14, 6 in stock, 100ppm instead of 50ppm tempco Caps, not sure, would probably look at panasonic.

Why don't they come with a Marshall double-stack stand?

Fuckers is right. Better show (IMO) than The Walking Dead, which of course is getting great ratings so far. Not that I don't like The Walking Dead...

Indeed, x3.

x2 (or more...) Thanks for sharing these!

If I wanted to add a power indicator (LED), would it be best to power this from the heater supply, or from B+? I tried it with jumper clips from the heater supply and it worked fine. Kind of hard to tell when this is on or not, at least from a bit away from it.

Cardas here if you want some more foo foo parts [url=http://www.diycable.com/main/default.php?cPath=26_44_49]DIYCable.com : Intro

Sounds good Doug. Did you flip the heater rectifiers so they are all lined up the same way (eliminates any chance of tabs shorting to one another)? Post a pick of the board layout if you want any other comments.

^ Probably.

^ I would find that unusual, and think more of surges or overvoltage, particularly if all died of electrical problems.

Remind me to never loan you any gear

Surprised there is much if any difference in ride quality as I thought these were basically the same vehicle/chassis???

Power amp, tried to start on fire

It lives! Fired it up (not literally) last night, and things seem good. Takes around 4 hours to adjust bias and make sure it is stable, so will do that this week sometime. I guess the charred portion will just stay like it is as there is no plus to removing the board to clean it up as best I can, but lots of negatives as in 8 MOSFETs I could blow up...

I didn't get mine from these guys, but you could try them. Also, I see the DA models all over amazon; just need to weed out the plastic LX ones. Jewelry Tools - SEP Jewelry Tools of Chicago, Inc. Also, be aware the the higher power ones (like the DA10s I have, 3.5X) have a pretty low focal length (~4") which makes soldering, etc. a bit challenging. I've meant to get another lower powered lens plate for mine, but just haven't gotten around to it yet

He had posted some HF-worthy short post (KRmathis-like), to which I replied that he might want to read the welcome PM. I never saw what he posted in reply, but assume he must have posted something? Pity
