Metrum Acoustics Octave: A NOS digital filter-less DAC
The part is Neutrik NC3MXCC. They are not listed as 110 ohm, but they are made specifically for balanced digital.

Did the board look hand soldered? I would recommend the Scientific Conversion transformers. I even have one on hand i could sell you They measure insanely good and I'm using them on my ADC and they don't disappoint.

Audeze LCD-3
Hm, cannot say I can agree with that line of thought, seems rather circular and presumptive.

Wes, They are two of these per channel (balanced bridge), more or less (ah the hubris...)

Got this from my bride. Perhaps now is the time to try and up the audio budget? "Do u mind if I put on music on using your cd player and amplifier?"

And now what did you do TODAY?
I have 9 allowances (would go more but not sure what HP would have to file with the IRS) and I always get a refund.

Thanks Nate! I am nearly positive the transformer is the issue. I plugged the amps into the wall and all is happy. I might try to find a bigger one as it seems to do a lot of good in my system.

Nm, Nate saw my question in another thread. It's a funny thread though. Sorry for the Necrobump.

Lol at this thread. How can I size an isolation transformer properly? I have a 1kV and pretty sure I need double that. It is acting up on me. (Transformer VA rating / line voltage) across all components good enough? Should I add in headroom?

The corner horns are very interesting. They remind me a lot of the first time I listened to Stax. They are unassuming and unimpressive in many ways. The low end of the piano is to die for, very nice. The thing I cannot make up my mind about is driving, low-end bass.... Am I a closet bass head? Who knows... I need more time for sure... I also have run out of current on my balanced isolation transformer I know that my CD player, preamp and mono blocks must draw more than 7.5A? That's crazy... How does one size these things, transformer VA rating divided my line voltage times losses? I am close I think as my box gets really really warm and strange buzzing and turn on thumps from hell. Hrumph...

The analog thread.
If I recall, there should be more than 1 weight included? It's been a while..

Whatever happened to that TACT that was floating around HC? Jim's or Al's perhaps?

And now what did you do TODAY?
Very close to getting to listen to my new speakers now. Just need to use some spray adhesive on the felt in the morning, let that out gas a bit, install the drivers and move tons of stuff around in my listening area to make room. Woot!

Don't work yourself too hard though. O_o

Lowther Alerions have landed!
Interesting. I assume they are interchangeable and just unscrew like my DX4s? Any desire to try the new ones? I have the shower head type and would like to try the older bullet ones at some point.

Just curious, what phase plugs do/did you have? Did you ever do any comparisons?

No, it was more a comedy of errors instead of the other kind, but things did work out in the end.
