Oliva V Torpedo

Just received the board and all the parts except the transformers and resistors. Should be fun stuffing this one. Lots of parts in tight spaces. As what would be better I guess I will only know once it's done. I would think that the Sabre8 on paper is a better DAC than the PCM63s but what really matters is how it sounds. Let you know in a couple days/month

Lately I have been printing out posts from Sovkiller and other nefarious douche bags and using that.

Well I have the board and 90% of the parts that should be here any day. Not sure how long it will take before it makes music though.

I have been spending a lot of my free time smoking cigars lately. Not that I needed any more but I wanted some smaller quick burns. Bundle each of Jose La Piedra Petit Cazadores and Por Larranaga Panetela. Threw in some Monte #2 for good measure Now I wait......

I have a large Tempur-Pedic NeckPillow that I have had for the last couple of years. I really like it a lot. My wife also has one of the smaller ones. We tried out the generic versions but they just were not as good as the Tempur-Pedics. They are a bit on the expensive side though. But considering it should last many years and improve your sleep (which is priceless) I think it's well worth the extra cost. I would just try one from someplace you can return it.

Fixed. I am still at a loss why a K1000 cable would only have three wires to begin with.

Just had a Sabor Cubano Grand Torpedo. Great smoke! A box of these is definitely going to get stashed away. And another for smoking now

This is definitely on my list of builds. I need to brush up on my Solidworks so I can have a case fitting for such an amp. Hmmm monoblock or single chassis?

We use to get those by the donkey load. We would catch donkey trains full of them being smuggled across the boarder from Syria. Made the cigarette smokers happy when we would land with the rear of the helicopter full of them.

I suck. Good thing for mods and the edit function.

Just had a Reserva Del Milenio Monticristo Robusto (Cuban). Purchased a jar of these back in 2000 and smoked maybe 6 so far. They keep getting better with age. If only I had a good scotch to go with it.

It has binding post speaker connections on the back so it should have worked if he just plug it in that way.

2005s suck. 2003s are good.

If the deeps loose that horrible bottom end of the regulars they could be okay. But being the best headphone under $2000? please.

3G is a cellular standard. A iTouch 3g would be a iPhone.

I just couldn't keep my mouth shut. Lets see that hate mail start pouring in. http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/post-pics-your-darth-beyers-205806/index192.html#post4310731

It's like we just went back in time.

So far I am pretty happy with my XPS->Buffalo DAC. Not high end as far as price goes though.

FTW

Going to post this here and not even bother with the other place. So I have wanted a pair of snake wood Darths for some time now. I figured I would like how they sound seeing as I like my '03 880s and how much they are hyped at the other place. So when a pair showed up at half price in the for sale section I jumped on them. I received them today. Really? People really like these? I know they were going to be a bit bass heavy but not bass bloated. The low end totally ruins any chance they have of sounding good. Or okay for that matter. Makes me really question all the people that talk them up as being a great sounding headphone. No offense if your reading this and your one of those people. Maybe I am just spoiled by the other phones I have. Just had to get that off my chest.

I'm in! What are we doing?

I'm not sure if it would be worth the trouble pulling them apart to replace the cable. The problem is that the ear cups are glued in place (bad idea I know) and would have to be removed.

I am liking the 1.2Bs enough that I just might have to give them a socket on the BH. I really wish they would have replaced this crappy cable with a Stax in the first place. Buffalo->BH->12.B= So far I am really impressed with the 1.2Bs. Glad I hung in there. Time will tell how they hold up in the long run.
