can't a gamma 1 usb board do the job?
-
Considering how awesome the 2 channel EHHA amp is and how cheap the kits are I have been considering going balanced (if balanced actually sounds better, seems to be differing opines on this) what is a decent balanced USB (pc only) DAC that is cheap as dog poo? The Gamma 2 with mods will do it but we still don't have a price or date on that yet and the Buffalo is over what I can afford. Would a balanced opus with a USB receiver do well enough? I've never heard a balanced rig so I don't know if they're worth the extra or not.

not even really pretty tubes with lots of glowy things inside?
-
yah, well the look very close in design the the O2 pads which imo are the best pads I've found.
-
I'll be on a set of those Denon pads as soon as I have the cash. They look perfect for what I want.

why anyone would actually be thinking about a sprite at that moment?
-
Nice one Colin, those are spiffy! Yup, same as mine.

Ah, I see where you're coming from... yes, we need moar! Insist on 4oz copper, just to be safe.

I just got a mail back telling me the 12au7 equivalent (E812CC) will be out in a few months. Cool

pfft, they weren't using audiophile matches, damn industrial n00bs!

headset?, oh, above her chest you mean...

Haven't used din in years. Not since my last piece of Naim gear.

I run all my gear from daisy chained staples power strips, works great and I can plug in my fridge and microwave too while still leaving one spare socket in the wall in case I want to run the vacuum cleaner. I don't bother with plugs in the signal line, I like to secure the wires in the sockets directly with match sticks for a purer signal.

the insides are a lot smaller than I imagined. Is that a European board design?
-
I'm still waiting for them to release transparent aluminum...
-
Cool, sounds great. Shame these get hidden inside cases
-
What are yours plugged into and where?
-
tap tap tap....

Hah, what a dumbass! I just flicked the tubes on my EHHA and nary a peep out of them
-
I refuse to believe that until you make me one exactly the same to test
-
marketing BS aside, all tubes ring and a tube damper is probably a good thing but it still look interesting.
-
Looks like it'll be about $70 per tube, still might grab one for the CTH. Looks like they'd work in the EHHA as well
-
Mmm, that'll fit some of my stuff. Might bite
