BTW, I fixed the title of your thread.

Rasputina - Melora a la Basilica

I bought two 3"x3"x12" pieces of turning stock, one Mora, one unknown.

Pina - Guess You Got It

Oh lord.

It should, yes.

Good plan.

Ok, how about my tractor costs as much as some cars, does that make it anything other than an expensive tractor? No, it does what it was designed to do exceptionally well and I don't expect it to be a car. While headphones require less power they are also FAR less forgiving of noise. It also requires an entirely different design to deal with the varying impedance/load that headphones can present to the amplifier. Look, if you think the 307A is expensive that's a fine and justifiable position to take. But to back that statement up with is completely in appropriate. You're using power as the basis of your comparison. You should have stopped with "my bad".

Comparing the cost of a speaker amp to a headphone amp is worthless. Is the 307A expensive? Yes, but you're paying for a hand built, limited production item much in the same way that you would expect to pay more for a Bugatti than you would for a VW.

Explain this comment please. Are you complaining about the price of the 307A or something else?

You got hosed.

I'm sure I could whip up a cable.

Hmmm, I still think I might rather have a squeezebox and have a good remote option. Granted, you can do a lot more with the mini-lappy but if a transport is what you're after the SB3 or Duet still strikes me as a better solution.

Fixed bias, by definition is not adjustable. The BHSE is an adjustable bias amplifier. There are lots of amps that are described as auto bias when in fact they are just a simple, fixed bias circuit. I believe this is an attempt on the manufacturer's part to mislead the consumer into thinking that something more complex is going on. I believe that anyone who describes an amp like that would be mixing their terms.

It is user-biasable IIRC, not fixed or auto. There are access holes in the top panel that allow access to trimpots for re-biasing after tube replacement.

I don't think that it is at all reasonable for them to expect that on a product with a lifetime warranty that owners would keep everything. I'd call them back and tell them that they are insane and to just replace the headphones. jpnums just went through a similar situation and I don't think he sent them any more than just the headphones.

Mike, I'm sure there's a way. The simplest path to me would seem to be to reformat the office drive (presumably currently not in use) as a FAT32 volume that could easily be seen by the MAC. You could then transfer the files to that external drive (if it's big enough) and simply give the drive to your friend or use it to transfer files to his drive.

Woot!

I'm sure I can come up with a small donation. Wish it could be more, but times are tight and all that.

I'm more in awe of the 7th from the top.

That sums up my thoughts as well. She is not what you would expect.
