Apparently your life is so pathetic that you'd rather stick around and get kicked around some more. I bet you can't leave until you get banned.

Good. Head-case doesn't need worthless whiny dipshit like you. Don't let the door hit you on the way out, asshat.

Let me use small words, since it appears you're a dumbass with a reading comprehension problem. Having thick skin means we can rib on each other and disagree without taking things personally and getting all upset. Not tolerating asshattery means if some stupid shithead starts acting like a retard, we tell him to shut the fuck up, go fuck his pet goat, and get the fuck outta here.

Upon further research I came across this from a 6moons review of another Trafomatic product: Which means I have heard Trafomatic transformers in a Korato integrated amp driving a pair of Living Voice Avatar speakers. In short, the Trafomatic transformers are pretty decent, so unless they fucked up the circuit design their headphone amp should be pretty darn good.

Am I the only one who thinks magic eye tubes are cool?

Donuts are your friend. The Amveco 6208X series transformers work great as parafeed or push-pull output transformers. I used them in my 6C45P and 13EM7 test builds, both were parafeed output. I think they're better than Hammonds, even though they're meant to be power transformers.

Fully agree. I learned the hard way from personal experience. Better hope you have Grados and a source with a healthy output. The circuit has very little gain so with Senns or AKG's you might well run out of volume. I'd say try out the Less-pressivo, but those 6C45P tubes are pretty twitchy so you'll have to do a good job on your layout and grounding.

Funny how his new name shortens to "DP", which in the porno world stands for "double penetration". One has to wonder if there's a hidden meaning behind the name change... Staying on topic, another possibility which I just remembered http://tubelab.com/TubelabSE.htm

I know that feeling well. Every time I listen to metal on my Grados, I have to fight an urge to crank the volume up to "11". I'll listen a bit louder than usual, and then I'll crank it way up for my favourite song on the album. Then I take a break, cause if I don't my ears will ring all night.

Should be pretty good assuming it has decent quality output transformers. As far as I know, the 6S45P is the same tube as the 6C45P, and the latter is a really nice tube which unfortunately is pretty hard to work with. If they did a half decent job it should be pretty good, and if they did a good job it'll kill most amps on the market these days.

Choke loaded parafeed, with ultrapath connection and bypassed cathode. It's not something I see every day.

Pleather. I have rather oily skin which makes fabric pads smell funny, and washing them is a pain in the ass. So I use pleather, which wipes clean in seconds.

5-10 minutes or so at most for my pair, though I suspect it's basically the pads warming up and sealing themselves to the side of my head & face.

Questions. Can you describe your testing in some detail? What were you measuring (eg. frequency response, THD, etc.), how were you doing the measurements (eg. test signals used, level of the signals, dummy or actual loads) equipment details, and all that other stuff.

And get a better PH-1!

If it came in a fancier looking chassis and sold for about $300-500 more, I bet it would sell like mad.

Would this be a good time to mention that my CD player is nearly 12 years old, still runs perfectly, and has yet to suffer a single glitch?

I modify my statement somewhat since I can now access the story. Charge the cuntface mother with stalking and criminal harassment. Done. Existing laws already cover this type of shit, there's no need for some special cyber harassment law which will undoubtedly lead to more problems & abuse than it can ever hope to solve. The girl still needs to grow a spine though, but it's a little too late for that.

For fuck's sake, if some whiny little dipshit killed herself because of the fucking internet, she's going to fucking die anyway in the real world once she finishes high school and has to move outside her sheltered little bubble. Boo-hoo. I call it Darwin at work, weeding out the weak because they don't deserve to survive. Pure bullshit feel-good law. It's fucking useless.

I can't say I noticed much of a difference after I removed the buttons on my Grado 225, then again that was a long time ago and I didn't exactly carry out exhaustive comparison tests. I just pulled the buttons off one day and that was that. I should probably stick'em back on or something and do some quickie tests some time.

Pretty much. Then again, that's what most mod companies do anyway since designing circuitry is beyond them. A couple blackgates here, a couple Auricaps there, some resistors & BB op-amps, and they hit you up for $600 or so. Problem is very few people have the knowledge & equipment to redesign and fix the circuit right. Hell, how many of people have $15k HP spectrum analyzers to chase out all the noise down to the -100dB level and way out in the dozens of MHz range, and furthermore know how to use them?

Hopefully, getting run over by freight train.
