Yeah is that brown stuff supposed to be there? And thanks, yeah I mean those micas. Is it true the most dangerous range of current is in the .1-.2A range, which causes fibrillation?

Are you sure none of the other green ground wires are connected to that one green wire in the pic, which would make it a star ground? Once you have a multimeter try measuring the resistance from the GND solder points on the PCBs to that nut in the pic, should measure close to 0. That one ground wire in the pic doesn't exactly look like a great connection from what I see but maybe it is electrically solid, also would be quick to figure out with a multimeter. Also there is one ground connection on the amp PCB that has no wire soldered, next to the 2SC2240s. Have you tried grounding the chassis itself? And unrelated but are those compensation caps next to the -350V trimpot?

Check the ground wiring to make sure everything is probably grounded (looks like the green wires). Also try grounding the chassis to see if maybe chassis ground is not at 0V.

lmao at the last one, wow he needs some support for his tatas and the tumor growing out of his face

They're not a bad headphone imo. I got mine to sound alright after a few simple mods, and Al's pair sounded decent as well, though a bit bass shy.

I read they flooded it with seawater and added boric acid. moar pics of general devastation http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2011/03/massive_earthquake_hits_japan.html

Sadly it seems more the norm than the exception nowadays, you gotta put on a little show and do some stupid acrobatics and grimaces to make people think you're talented and musical. I think it's bullshit, if I ever have to do it to gain an edge or approval I'm quitting music. That said, I probably do it a little subconsciously, but always only because of and for the music.

How do you like this? There's also the Kodaly quartet.

Hurr durr measuring THD when the amplifier is clipping. I'm sure NuForce just learned from Ray that you just need a large gain so any headphone can get loud, which means it "drives" them well. Again, hurr durr.

I need to sleep, too.

Their Manhattan was crap and they didn't know what a pisco sour or a sazerac was so I had to make do by asking what other people ordered.

I don't even remember everything I drank, but it involved two mind erasers, a white russian, several shots of amaretto sours, and a lemon drop.

My condolences.

downset.

Well, eventually the goal is to complete a microcontroller board build for a PIC18F4550 chip which contains various I/O devices like switches, 7 segment LED displays, and a rotary encoder, and maybe hook it up to this ARM7 LPC2368 to program to do my bidding (so, potentially could end up in future amps or DACs or whatnot, kind of like amb/linuxwork's arduino thing). It can also just be standalone. The ARM is much more advanced than the PIC, especially in the interrupts, and has lots of features like PWM, I^2S and I^2C interfaces, etc, but that makes it more of a pain in the ass to program. Right now I'm trying to get it to do basic things like add with carry, push and pop data from a virtual stack, define macros, etc, but found out that modifying and stepping through the code takes a bunch of unnecessary and ridiculous steps every time. It's going to be a long night. ^ At least something that can blow me every once in awhile, I guess.

mfw when I found out every time you change the assembly code in the compiler/debugger you have to save, close the program, re-run a bat file, and finally re-open the project in the compiler

I wasn't referring to speed when I was talking about the Trio. I was still referring to Hahn. The first movement of the double literally sounds like a country jig. Notice how the orchestra inadvertently adds a little bit of swing to the intro which is literally lol inducing (at least for me). And yeah I agree speed is only one aspect of the interpretation of a piece of music, there are many others. I don't even know what I'm listening to with the Keith Emerson thing, the electric fake piano sound is really off-putting. Btw Keith does play it faster than Joplin, thus not allowing it to swing as much.

I just watched the youtube vid of Heifetz and his protege Eric Friedman playing second movement of the Bach double for the umpteenth time, everything about that vid still brings a smile to my face. Gives great insight into the Heifetz sound and how it is achieved too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Any2tuVFp3w&feature=related

Schubert is considered one of the first romantics, kind of like Beethoven, so it really could go either way. IMO if someone is playing a piece faster than 95% of people have ever played it, then one could say that it is controversial. Especially when it starts sounding like a frigging country jig. I enjoyed Fischer's Bach concertos more than Hahn's, but they are more similar to each other than the way the "greats" played (Szeryng, Menuhin, Milstein, Heifetz, et al). Listening to Heifetz playing the Bach double with himself is major lulz. Check the tempo (and everything else) here and compare to those two: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPQ2492hbuc&feature=fvsr IMO the slower tempo would be closer to how it was performed in Bach's day, I doubt everyone went blisteringly fast through everything since technique just wasn't as developed and due to the instruments and the way they were played.
