you should really try the Japanese ones. They are labeled X386S Japan. They are MKP in oil. Fantastic caps.

Both are excellent drivers. I went with Per Skanning's new company, as I could get a custom driver made for no up-charge, as all of the C-Quenze are made to order.

probably < $250 a pair, not including MDF, or BB. You could ghetto it down more by winding inductors from old hangers located in Reks basement.

if said person wants to step forward, they probably have a good idea of total cost by now. Size is a 19 L (0.67 cu ft) vented enclosure. Graph is SPL at the point where the port noise becomes audible ("chuffing") and this occurs at 39 watts. Here's the woofer modeling:

sure. are you thinking of a ribbon speaker? I have a entry level design that I'm working with someone on.

finally bought the ribbon tweeters.. I'll basically have these two drive units, but my AT will be a smaller, custom unit. yay!

Lenovo T400 Too big for my taste I'll have to swap it out when I get back from China...

My limited experience with orthos can be summed up as follows: if you: A.) want to like an electrostat but keep trying to make it sound like a dynamic headphone without success B.) think the SR-007 is "dark" C.) like the Jade then you should try some orthos.

my question is why would you run the noisy digital signal for the display through the umbilical...

well said Voltron. Where is Singlepower? Where is Mikhail? - Page 78 - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio

nope, not over-analysis, just that many recording or sound reproduction systems are off-pitch or introduce pitch issues, hence the annoyance. edit: perhaps I disagree with the term over-analysis. It's an innate/subconscious analysis, not an purposeful analysis.

yes, I know a number of people like this, it's quite common, so my audiologist says.

I've found you have to leave these on for a while to get them sounding good. Not burn-in per se, but just have to be running 24x7 for some reason. I cannot explain it, but this DAC always sounds crappy at meets for some reason, and I've attributed it to this reason. Nice find though.

I just tested this last night. Trafo was an R-core with single primaries with marked phase. A 3A fuse blew when they were installed in one orientation, but not the other. YMMV.

Meh at blanket statements ..

I think the proposed modification to the KGSS might be a better match for the load. I suppose only Kevin can comment as he's simulated it.

sometime next year I might be interested in building the TakeT amp

in an ideal world, it would be 2 crossovers. and since it never is, then this is my issue. Plus, the crossovers are too simple and cannot do things like impedance flattening, which is very important in the low end region.

hey, random question.. I've bought a bunch of ASC caps recently, and have found the ones that are made in Japan have a different sound to them (for the better). Once you get them, check out the label, and I'll post the label of the ones I have that I'd propose sound better

Mathematica is the suck. Octave is the win.

how much can you get a set of TakeT for?

Nate said something like "fuuddzgy bummny" to me.

The Rega Planar 3 (with upgrade motor) and RB300 can scale up much further than budget cartridges. It's a great sounding little system.

geez, if they'd only do one of these for say wine... Franzia FTW!
