HC Bike/Cycling Thread
I'm thinking about changing the brake discs on my bike and going back to the XTR. Dura-Ace discs are giving me a lot of problems. They are quite soft and deform quickly. I do not know if the type of alloy is different or they have eliminated steel and making the aluminum core thicker. I use 160mm discs on both wheels with resin brake pads, my weight is 69/70kgs and although I live in a place with large drops and I usually do very hard braking this is no reason for the discs to be constantly deformed. I had never had any problems with the XTRs either on my road bike or on the mountain bike. A big disappointment.

I used Nichi KW... I guess there is no fixed rule, we have used capacitors that we know.

I bought them and everything was perfect. I think it was about BC141-16 ?

Balanced to unbalanced board
Thanks guys. My idea is to have three normal inputs (1 XLR +2 SE) plus a MM preamp (in my case a VSPS) AND three different types of outputs (and a mute): 1º Un/bal + pot. (It´s like a "direct" output) 2º Un/bal + pot + KG Diamond buffer MKII 3º Un/bal + pot + KG Diamond buffer MKII + dc Caps. So you can have three "different" types of sound. The appearance is not as good as I would like ? but it works (which is the important thing) although I still have some things to finish. Edit: Did I say that I like blue LEDs? ?☺️?

Interesting. I also have some Lambda Pro ! If you do not mind. Could you describe the sound a bit in comparison?

My preamp. I'm still working on it.

Balanced to unbalanced board
But the problem of using adapters here is the space they occupy. This afternoon I will post a picture of how my preamp one is going.

No, I was lucky I was able to find BC546CFA (Mouser) and BC556C (musical equipment and electronic store of my city) from "On Semi" but remember that I could only matched NPN with NPN and PNP with PNP. If you are not sure, you can buy some and measure them. Maybe you're lucky.

No, sorry I mean CFA and C grade

If you don´t find C grade, I used BTA and I hadn't problems with un/bal boards (I used sand with 500Hfe). Edit: I mean CFA and C

Well, better than someone in the Koss technical service know this information because I'm afraid that soon they will have a lot of work. It´ll be interesting to read the comments on this headset in a few months.

Why do not you use OPA445 directly? You will save time and money. Buy them from a Texas provider like Mouser.

I'm not in a hurry to buy it, I was just surprised by Birgir's comment and Massdrop's offer. If I remember correctly, the last time I looked at the prices of the ESP950, these were arround 900 ~ 1000 $. By the way, the standard version comes with leather (or similar) pads

Interesting, but would not it be a bit stupid on Koss's part? Those guys are supposed to have something already experienced with electrostatic. I repeat that I am asking because I have no idea. ?

Do not you think it's a good purchase? ? I speak from ignorance. For $ 500 it does not seem that they are bad.
