current regulative diode. Basically a JFET with a trimmed source resistor for the lazy

Any measurements available?

Cool Al, soon I'm hoping to hear it right alongside my Krell. Should be a fun comparison.

The context the comparison was used is 100% fair. The comparison was the how people reacted to the company, not the company itself.

True. The O2 is so much older and all possible amps for it are completely exhausted at this point. Who knows what new and innovated analog design might come along next for the LCD-2, we need more people on this intractable problem!

Remember Singlepower's feedback and reviews and even more impressive standard warantee?

How long has this company been around? Would it by definition be FOTM due to this fact alone? Will they survive as long and continually be producing top quality products as say a Krell?

That's exactly what I need!

On second thought, the Fountek JP3 might come close to the domes mentioned above, as well as the Raidho planar.

Be careful not to overgeneralize. The order of the distortion as well as how the driver is integrated is very important. Also, you might come to find that other factors are more important than raw harmonic distortion numbers anyways.

Very nice!

Tough to beat the SS 9800, Vifa xt25tg, Peerless HDS for example..

Ribbons aren't usually the lowest distortion type of driver though, that's the main drawback I've found.

(raises hand)

the only thing I've noticed with solder is it can get very dirty. I'm not sure if this is dirt, or some chemical reaction or what. This presents problems when soldering as the flux tries to eat this away and the joints end up rather crusty. You'll notice this when it happens though.

I figured given voltage and current, the Vf of the LED would change. So, if I had a supply of 100V and 18mA current through the LED this would be different than if I had a supply of 5V and 18mA. Now I'm doubting that gut instinct, as that wouldn't make the greatest voltage reference huh

I was thinking the whole time, where's the rest of the orchestra (admittedly from a volume standpoint) Doug: I asked about this a while back, but can you give a voltage and current so that we can model the LED Vf before dropping it in?

Craig, what's your opinion of Solti Mahler 1 / LSO / Decca? Listening to it now on vinyl with this amp and loving it. Need to grab some more Shosti though, this thread has reminded me of that.

I can supply said tape if anyone wants to try this. Good idea in fact.

But you know people!

Looks just difficult enough for 50% of HFers to f-up.

I'm not sure those are compensation caps. They look like an input filter.
