I'm assuming "Awesome" is some GenZ stripper name?

What about running everything at unity gain until the headphone amplifier, and use it's passive attenuation? (note: this is a slightly different recommendation than digger945, because I'm assuming it's possible that you might have a active preamp than can actually give the signal some gain (For example, my BAT VK-3i could do this, and unity gain was at around 65% or so on the volume display), but I really have no idea) If you have a 1kHz test signal and a DMM, I think you could just adjust each component until the AC volt reading on the input is the same as the AC volt reading on the output.

bit perfect means absolutely nothing in the analog-digital conversion world I'd also really like phantom power to power a measurement microphone, so perhaps I'll add that to the list.

I spy NE1's (Z6). Looks like even Stax is out of dual transistors

yeah, that would almost work. However, I need analog inputs and outputs for this type of testing scenario: No comments on the Edirol?

geez, that only took 8 posts, isn't that a record?

I'd pay $150 for an autographed Kevin Gilmore solid titanium knob

Well, Team Spain's package is mailed, along with digger945. All that is left is Team j4cbo, and looks like the remaining parts will arrive on Wednesday. I'm planning on starting a build thread at some point. Until then, feel free to ask any questions in this thread. Hopefully we will have a chance to come up with stable value recommendations for a few gain settings by then.

To plug in my SR-007BL into the E/90, obviously.

I feel dirty...

nope. Their reply was .. "hm, interesting. Bet that sounds good"

what about a whole mountain of $8/ea transistors? This isn't a "bang/buck" project.

oops! At least I gave fair warning though

117v filament? I need one of those... probably would make a great night light.

Sure, let's assume it does. The deal is the software I need to use isn't available on the Mac, hence the limitation there.

dibs!

So, I'm looking to grab some sort of external sound card for a number of purposes. My requirements are: PC based External >= 24/192 I need to be able to use this with RMAA, SpeakerWorkshop, LSPCad, etc. hence the PC requirement. The 24/192 is a requirement on the analog inputs for things like RMAA and needle-drops eventually. Budget is flexible One that caught my eye so far is the Edirol FA-66, but I'd be interested in seeing what else would qualify.

Someone needs to build the Gilmore TakeT amp

that part isn't quite over until we have all the amps up and running

Looks like they were trying to market something like Accuphase MDSD processing, without those pesky "technical bits" http://www.accuphase.com/model/pdf/dp-700_e.pdf

Vlad/Chris, Silvio, KG, Peter, Naaman, Renato: I just sent your packages. You should have a PayPal request for the remaining balance, as well as a USPS Priority Mail tracking number in that very same e-mail.

"Thanks to everyone who ordered the headphones. We are sold out completely."

Nate, retirement sucks. Hey, wanna build a few of these: DCPP Amp There are even PCBs available

Getting there guys. Pars, your package went out today. I am planning on having all but Team j4cbo parts sent out on Tuesday. I need to do more matching to get their parts ready and the chances of me having time this weekend are pretty slim. Give me a few more days guys I have decided to include 10% extra 2SA1145/2SC2705 in each kit. I figure these are the most likely to go (I blew one and so did digger945). This is considering that everyone basically has double the FETs anyways needed for a "Dynahi-scale" build. I'll include a modest upcharge for this, at the tune of $0.50 per board. I'm considering adding an extra dual-heatsink per builder as well, so they have something to practice on. It would add a few dollars ($2.50 IIRC), but I think it might be worth it. I'll start a build thread at some point and document the process, once I find someone to help take pictures during the 5 minute curing time. Packaging will be a few dollars per order as well, as there are copious amounts of ESD bags, bubble wrap, tape, markers and other miscellany involved. I have a single receipt from OfficeMax that I'll simply divide down the middle. I will be sending everything via USPS Priority with Delivery Confirmation using flat rate boxes. For Team Spain, I am probably sending things via Express (EMS) since it seems far too great of a risk to send it via first class mail, and Express is the only method that guarantees tracking door-to-door. I think this is best, but feel free to chime in. I think that's it.
