Gilmore Reference Balanced?
Unless you own some very expensive test equipment, easiest way to test SNR is to just plug in a super sensitive pair of IEMs and listen for hiss/hum. If nothing can be heard, you have a very, very good SNR.

Gilmore Reference Balanced?
it would also be a large impact if the amplifier has a high output impedance

Gilmore Reference Balanced?
the 1/4" outputs are in parallel and connected to the + phase

Cryo treating tubes
If all you were doing is guessing if the tube is cryo or non-cryo, 6 to 8 trial isn't nearly enough. What if every trial was actually the same tube? How would you have done then?

UE10 vs UE11 ?
If there were a UE10.5, Id go with that. I don't know which one I liked better. It's hard to know because the universals dont fit my ears with any of the tips and have to be held in place. I don't think I can know without trying custom fits of both

Gilmore Reference Balanced?
gpalmer has/had the original gilmore reference this was a custom pre-amp version for emelius with 24-step gain switches. the contents of the 2 box reference are the same
-
Gilmore Reference Balanced?
No, I did a Mac OS X spotlight search for "gilmore reference black gates spain" and this is the only one. What kind of technical data? It is a balanced version of this amplifier HeadWize - Project: A Pure Class A Dynamic Headphone Amplifier by Kevin Gilmore with 1 of the power supplies for each channel. GoldPoint stepped attenuators and 2200uf FK? black gate capacitors, vampire silver wiring in the signal path

Gilmore Reference Balanced?
The standard Gilmore Reference was a 1 box amp that looked like the KGSS It was $2559 and made in Spring 2005

Is the Purity Audio stuff really fully discrete?
Not always, I know KG's designs could not be made into op-amps

Singlepower Square Wave w/ DAC internal pics
If I am interpreting this correctly then the GS-X is an 8 channel amp, so is balanced b22 and dynamite

RSA Predator
They are tubed, right? Then there are probably coupling capacitors that won't pass subsonic frequencies

Logitech IEMs?
This is probably the time to order UE10/11 if you're the least bit interested...

The Headcase Stax thread
the bias board was only designed for 1 jack, so there is a 4.7M resistor soldered onto the board. Additional resistors can be added for each jack. I guess the previous owner decided to replace them with Caddocks

UE10 vs UE11 ?
I just compared UE10 and UE11 universal fit models

The Headcase Stax thread
no idea, i use 3kV rated metal films there
-
The Headcase Stax thread
It looks like that amp was modified. I don't use those gray resistors. The capacitor lead should be plugged into ground on the terminal block, it reduces noise

Nate will solve this. He will cut the DA-500 in half
