It's the usual Head-fi gremlins, it logged me out last night and won't let me log back in. Which is quite annoying since the 40 or so idiots on my Ignore List are no longer being ignored, which makes Head-fi very painful to read.
I'd say not moist enough not is not as bad as too moist because you can always add some Astroglide. Drying it up on the other hand is rather more involved...
A 13 year old kid who deserves every bit of abuse & ridicule thrown his way. I'm sorry, my sympathy meter for Jagwire remains firmly pegged at zero, he's a 13 year old who acts like a 5 year old. He's a spoiled attention whoring brat who needs some sense beaten into him.
A tube based constant current source, that should be interesting. Though it will make tubes sound better, you still don't want to use a crap-ass tube like the 1970's RCA/GE coin bases. As the saying goes, you can't polish a turd.
I think he mentioned some MccAlister guy or something like that on Head-fi.
Personally I like tube rectification, I find it has less hiss & noise in my system and gives a blacker background. I can finally use Grados with my amp without the hiss bugging the hell out of me at night. Smoother sound too. The local surplus shop has hundreds of rectifier tubes lying around so I don't have to worry about tracking down stock on ebay.
It can be a bad thing because it's non-reversible. That is unless you have an extra set of screens lying around or getting a new one fabricated from scratch. If you don't like it, you're fucked, whereas all the other mods can be reversed if the results don't agree with you. I'm a believer in Murphy's Law so I like to have a way to step back in case things don't work out as expected.
