Smeggy

Grow a bigger head like the rest of the H-C mutants

I love my UMPC to bits, goes with me everywhere and is my daily use computer. Aside from taxing games, there's nothing it can't and doesn't do.

Bad Spritzer, bad!

Happy birthay Yikes!

Yeah, that's why I always end up back on the 'stats. I love the speed, detil and clarity of presentation. Can't be touched by any other phones I've heard.

Looking better by the day, can't wait to see the amp progressing.

I'm trying to buy my O2 by installments. First I bought the pads, next I'll buy the Arc, then the housings.... I'm having tons of fun playing around with the Stax drivers and nice wood to put them all in. I'm going to do a woody Gamma, a woody Lambda and a woody SR-X MkIII along with my superduper Smegma Pro. Should be a cool set of fones by the time I'm done. I think I need to get the Lambda holes properly machined though. I can cut nice holes but that Lambda needs a slot cut and I'm not good enough to do it accurately unless anyone here has ideas. A drill press and forstner bit would do it but I don't have a press.

Boo's my hero

Thanks, it's always nice to know who's who.

That is funny as hell I wish I could write so elequitly, eloqauantly good.

Hmm, the Panasonic SA-XR models might suit you. A few of us here have them and they're quite good for the cash.

Need names to faces...

*Cue Psycho music*

Woah, this is the first year I got a rebate! Sadly, it's just enough to pay the guy that did our taxes and buy one cup of crap coffee.

Oh yes it's all very cute and adorable now.... wait until it discovers it's true powers of mind control, shredding and pooping in the corner, then we'll see how cute it really is.

Hah. Resistance is futile.. unless you're broke like me

Wow, a meager 6 7/8 here and even that's a generous size given my tiny pea-sized brain.

Pretty amps guys, very nice.

Soooo, presumably you wouldn't even notice if your secret stash went missing? Hmmmmmm....

If anyone does come across some good mesh/perforated sheet I'd love to see pics as I've had little success deciphering the gibberish on most web pages as to what's on sale. Maybe I'm too much of a thickie to figure it out I have a number of projects on the go that need the stuff.

Hehe, they sound great, adds a nice little bass boost to the lower registers as I think the bigger chambers allow the sound to resonate a little. They're not fully fitted yet so I was able to check full cup (sr-x style plus) verses no cup (gamma style) and they sound distinctly different with the bigger cups providing a good oomph! I won't know if it sounds 'right' until it's all together and sealed for proper testing but it sounds promising for now. The Ply base with tight press fit drivers should work well for keeping the drivers under control as it's gripping the drivers over their whole depth rather than just some sticky tape on a flimsy plastic mount. Nice strong bass at 32Hz and tapering down at 25. I still have to find a way to mount them to a headband as they are O2 size cups rather than SR-X/Gamma size and I've run out of cash, so the O2 headband will have to wait. Thanks for the kind words all. My first ever play with a real lathe rather than some half-assed drill attachment!!

Thanks guys. The lathe was $159, the set of three chisels was $45 and the wood was $15. So, not too bad at all and I have enough for four cups. My whole garage (including car) is covered in sawdust and chippings

Woohoo!!! Finally got some time this afternoon to try my hand at turning with the new toy. Came out better than I was expecting The mounting plate is 3/8 birch plywood for stability as the 'stat drivers are a tight press fit (to be glued in place) and the cups are Brazilian Cherry with a wax coat. The SR-X Pro is now a full woody

Well something is sinking in from all these DIY projects I've been looking at, I thought they were tube rectifiers.
