You might be looking at one of these in the future. It's got big thumping groove and mojo, in short, it's addictively fun. You ain't heard bass and weight till you've heard this baby.

Have you thought about making a tube amp or something with exposed high voltage parts and getting the failed candidates to electrocute themselves?

To me at least, Senns only sound good with a vinyl rig. To be honest, I'm not so sure about how well they scale, I personally think my Grado 225 and RS-1 scale every bit as well if not better than my 580.

What is your current project, or what will be your next project?

CCS loads for the output tubes on my tube amp. Probably going to build Gary Pimm's self bias CCS. -
Sample variations, I'd bet. I've heard a 650 with slightly less bass than my 580 and another 650 with almost as much bass as a PS-1, all out of the same source and amp.

You've figured it out, most manufacturers haven't. The fancy material drivers have all sorts of ugly breakup modes among other things which craps up the sound and requires overly complicated crossovers to tame. You probably ran into their crap ones. The 12G40 or 12MW/Nd for instance are pretty much flat from 200-2000Hz with much lower distortion than you'll find in most other drivers. Choose nice linear drivers so you don't have to put compensation elements all over the place. Stick the bass driver as close to the floor as possible so the floor mirror-images the driver and gives you extra gain down low. Put a pair of efficient 12" or 15" drivers close to the floor and it'll give you a ton of clean bass with fairly little power. If someone decided to build an SET with kW range transmitter tubes, it would have killer dynamics.

Because manufacturers like using "audiophile approved" drivers with crap-ass efficiency and low power handling along with overly complicated crossovers, but OMG they're made of carbon fiber kevlar magnesium titanium beryllium alloys and shit! Or you could get some pro-audio drivers from Beyma or 18sound with efficiencies of around 97-100dB/w/m which can also handle several hundred watts without frying.

The owner says it's a big block of maple made from gluing together smaller pieces of maple. He had some woodworker guy make the maple base and get the holes & cutouts drilled in the right places. -
Help purchasing headphones for my mother (closed, K1000?)

Because you touch yourself at night. -
What do you think of "markl Mod for Denon AH-D5000" thread?
aerius replied to purk's topic in Headphones
Those were good times back in the day... -
I'd say this is one of those cases where what goes on in Dusty Chalk's bedroom, stays in his bedroom.

And get a nice wooden base built up for the Garrard. -
Holy crap, how does any work get done in that disaster area?
-
Looks like it got put through the tumble-dry cycle in a dryer with no fabric softener.

Let's just say I don't subscribe to the "cleanliness is next to godliness" axiom...

Speaking of exposure and attention whoring, how about putting a nice sexy picture of yourself in your sig?
-
A blowjob. From her mom.

I wonder what would happen if a bunch of people started making references to postjack's forum on Head-fi?
-
Thank you, I like to think that I'm truly a paragon of maturity.

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?
