Happy Birthday Yun. Have a great one!

The capacitor pads all look good. Now we'll all wait with Bate'd breath for the boards.

Too many laddies, eh?

Don't forget a pointed hat to go with the robe.

You missed one. I just wanted to know if there was a technical reason. I wasn't trying to point out errors.

Love the regular CD of this. Would love to have this recording too!

Kevin, I have a layout question. The anodes of the two large (in diameter) electrolytic capacitors have square pads whereas the anodes or all smaller electrolytic capacitors have round pads. Is there a reason for this or is it just an oversight in the layout?

Happy Birthday!

He just didn't want people to forget General Butt Naked.

That looks really good, Ric. Well, except for that green stuff.

and no significant other. They may be the ugliest speakers I have seen. They are so ugly, they have negative WAF. Not only will you have to get rid of the speakers, but they make all of the surrounding audio equipment ugly so you'll have to get rid of them too.

Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday!

Just like it's spelled.

We suddenly have an interested potential buyer for the house. Maybe I'll be able to make this after all.

I love my HD800, but definitely want to hear a modded version. So I'll try the mod on mine. I like my HF2 a lot too, but not as much as the HD800 and the HF2 is not near as comfortable either. Maybe you need to hear it out of a good amp? Your advice to Dinny is spot on.

It's down to 61 here today. Really cute pictured. Congrats on your anniversary Tom. Sorry about you pain, Haj.

While I'm "Extreme"ly happy with my HD800, I'll be happy to give it a try. I'm assuming that since you tried many different materials and thicknesses, that the mod is easily reversible? Otherwise, you went though a lot of pairs of HD800s. Edit: Actually, I'm "Menace"ly happy, though "Lite"ly.

Tyll, what amp were you using for your listening tests of the HD800?

Happy Birthday Ryan. I'd wish you a great one, but that goes without saying this weekend. Enjoy!

Thanks. I'll try to find my stylus brush or buy one. I also need to get some rice paper inner sleeves. Some of mine are in desperate shape from just sitting around for 30+ years. To answer your question, I now really only play Diamond Mine in Bejeweled. It's perfect for my ADD. I usually keep an instance of Bejeweled minimized. Then, when I'm bored doing something on the computer, I just play a quick game of Diamond Mine and then I'm back to whatever I was doing.

I'll be happy to answer the question if you'll suggest a record solution for a Disk Doctor machine and also suggest a stylus cleaning setup.

Certainly that doesn't stop you. You have many friends here who would be happy to buy them for you and ship them to Iceland. I'm sure a certain amp designer does it all the time.

Thanks! I got mine in 1979 in Tucson, AZ.
