I really like breasts.

The Eastsound is so last year, it's all about the latest $100 modded Chinese DACs that absolutely kill Wadias and shit these days. Wait, I've just been informed I'm out of date already, it's all about the iMod and v-docks now.

Nope, I use 1633's, the 25V version of the 6SN7. The only pentodes I have are 12 & 6W6's, they sound quite nice in triode mode, but I haven't fiddled with them in a while and the circuits are still in the proof of concept stage. Personally I don't worry much about the power of the tubes, as long as you keep the gain down you can run them wide open in Class A with no issues.

That's his sister, who's describing the incestuous relationship she had with reks when they were teens.

Apparently, the word filter is somewhat smart, since I can still talk about the Montrose music festival...

Nope. She doesn't have a turntable and she ain't got those speakers. Plus she hangs around on diyaudio, not head-fi, cause the latter rots your brain.

So now I have to type "tr0se" if I want to type out the name of Mr. donkey fucker.

My math could be wrong, but a gain of 15dB works out to a gain of 5.6 or so, so it's not all that high. I think could get away with using a stepper with only 24 steps, or if worse comes to worst you could swap in different transformers to drop the gain.

I have no idea who makes these things, but these are the ones I use.

The software does indeed do word substitution. I propose that asshat extraordinaire be known as palmfucker.

In this forum, we talk about pornography. And we can type the word "porn" without having it censored by the fucking bad word filters.

Interesting...I've been wanting to hear the Duos for a while but can't find anyone who has them. I heard the Unos a long time ago and was quite impressed by them, except for a bass integration problem and a bit of a gap between the horns and bass module. But that was a couple generations of horns and bass modules ago so a lot has probably changed. What impressed me the most about the Unos was speed and dynamics, those suckers were every bit as fast as electrostatics with the effortless big dynamics that only horns can do. Really cool stuff.

Do you like large breasts?
-
Better than those other Electrostatics and not hard to drive!

I remember when you could buy'em for half that price... -
Electrically, the 6BZ7 is nowhere close to a 6922 except in gain. Half the transconductance, twice the plate resistance, a bit more gain. Given that the input & output tubes are direct coupled, I wouldn't drop in a 6BZ7 without seeing the full schematics of the amp.

That's the icepick grip, also known as the serial killer grip.

As a health conscious person who does not want to end up with emphysema, lung cancer, or any of the other shitty diseases associated with inhaling toxic carcinogenic smoke, let's just say that I don't smoke. So the answer is nothing. But I do eat magic brownies.

I've had days like that, I fried the PSU on my KGCA when I went to adjust a trimpot and ended up shorting it out when I sneezed at the wrong time. Surprisingly the amp itself survived, but I had to make a run to the surplus store to pick up more PSU parts. Then there was the time I blew up the probes on my multimeter, I was measuring voltages in a rather tight space on my tube amp PSU. I found out the hard way what 500uF at roughly 350V can do when I accidentally crossed the probes while they were both in contact with the caps. The probes were vapourized, and my ears rang and I saw spots for hours. I had to get a new multimeter after that one. I've come to accept that blowing stuff up is a part of DIY.

Or conversly, he has all that bandwidth because he is or is planning to host porn.

Happy birthday! Without Tyll, we'd be a lot further behind in the headphone hobby, he's the key that opened up the headphone world.

Yes, she is. Unfortunately, for myself and Dusty Chalk, she's married.

Y'all are just jealous 'cause I actually get out and have fun with hot chicks.

Well, for starters I have to say that I'm against the screen mod, and as far as I can tell I'm the only one. I've made a replacement screen assembly out of sheet aluminum, cardboard, plastic, and various types fabric & foam. I haven't like any of the results. Yes it can be a more open and extended sound in the treble, but I found it did bad things to the overall tonal quality and sometimes the imaging as well. The headphone ends up sounding "whiter" and somewhat "washed out", and ultimately I found this fatiguing. To me it just ain't worth it, the original screen works just fine as far as I'm concerned and strikes the best balance for overall sound.

Well, you can't argue with success, and I've had quite a lot of success with women.
