Why does burn-in only ever improve things?
Burn-in seems to be a case of burning in the ears. That said, my power amp (Odyssey) is said to absolutely require burn-in, even by the manufacturer (Klauss, who is well respected throughout the audio community from what I can tell, unlike others). Of course I bought mine used, so I cannot attest one way or the other. In general, I still feel that claims of many hours of burn-in required are absolute bullshit. Particularly the B-I blogs on HF...

Anyone know the output voltage of 840c?
Yep. I did a search after posting and discovered it was 2Vrms, not Vpp that was common. I always get confused on these

Hmm, for some reason I thought 2Vpp was standard for single-ended? As always, I could be wrong...

Sony MDR-R10 Repair - Back From The Dead
It has been deleted now... I would agree that the tone and writing style is pretty consistent between the Jennifer Crock post and the Jena Labs website post. One difference in the "Crock" post was the use of JENA LABS in all caps below, as compared to JENA Labs everywhere else (their website, etc. when they don't go by the LLC company name). Speaking of which, given their return policy and attitude that "even if we did it, it's not out fault", it is interesting that the actual company name is Jena Technologies, LLC. As in Limited Liability Company... as in EXTREMELY Limited...

Post the last thing you bought!
Where did the KGSS PCBs come from? And IIRC, did I also see BH PCBs? I don't ever remember seeing a group buy or anything for these on HF?

Sony MDR-R10 Repair - Back From The Dead
JenaLabs (that is a crock... Labs, like they really do any research) has been ripping people off for years with some of the most insanely good deals on virgin nymph-woven fairy dusted cabling. I can't believe they would risk further damage to their reputation over $1000 which judging from the pricing on most of their products is mice nuts. And the thing with morph??? WTF? He has to work for them or some other connection to them. Shill?
