Ouch!

$1200 for RS-1s...

Happy Birthday Tyll!

I hate to say this but if you don't like the 225s and don't like the RS-2s it could simply be that Grados (in your price range anyway) just aren't for you.

One of our neighbors has bushes and he dropped off a couple pints yesterday. Seemed like a good enough reason to make pancakes this morning. And man, I haven't had sourdough pancakes in a long time, my mom used to make them when I was a kid too.

Got up, made blueberry pancakes, mowed the yard, did a bit of DIY in the lab and then cooked dinner. Currently waiting to see if Lily will go to sleep or if we're in for an interesting evening.

I reks.

If HF-1 prices weren't basically equal to used RS-2s I'd recommend those, but to sound their best I really feel the HF-1s need wood enhancement.

And thus this week's mowing of the lawn is concluded. That was only what 3hrs or so? meh

naaman was stationed in Iraq last I knew, so about all he sees is sand.

^ yup, about to go do that myself.

sure looks like it, you can see in one of asr's pictures where the name is (Xitel) and it seems like the part profile for the mini jack is on the end with the green wires. Steve, could we get a straight down shot of the DAC board? And john, he throws away the enclosure so it's probably only worth $40 then.

One at a time Kevin, one at a time! Although I've gone a book marked a page with 6 or 7 circlotron schematics and parts lists. They don't look overly complicated or dangerous to me.

Thanks Steve, I might have to talk to you regarding other portions of this project.

Who doesn't notice something like this before they send it out?

Hmmm, it's pretty hard to screw up the output coupling cap of a DAC to act as a high pass filter unless the input impedance of the next stage is really low. At least in my limited knowledge world it seems like it should be.

That would be reasonable, the article I linked to certainly paints its power in a different light.

I have to tell you, I've looked at the docs and I'm not sure I'd qualify it as a project to cut your teeth with. The pcb is nice for avoiding some of the pitfalls that plague most HV tube projects but there's no getting around the ~400V PS which trust me is enough to thump you good. What else have you built before?

Ah, you meant the inside, I read "coat" and thought finish.

Saw a disturbing article this morning - Apple Has The Power To Disable iPhone Apps Remotely : dBTechno

Eh, no?

I'm guessing that his contribution to the redesign was probably on the order of how the product could be more easily constructed, cost ananlysis and how choices would be viewed by the buying public. I doubt it had much to do with the electrical intricacies of the circuit. I know I've offered that type of feedback for amb and tangent before and made meaningful contributions despite my rather meager knowledge of circuit design.

Craig and I discussed how to best implement the drivers in a small ~1cu-ft enclosure at CanJam so that's what I'm leaning towards. I hope that my dad I and will be able to build this some time this fall/winter, the drivers are getting lonely.

How do you mean? My stack? If so it should go like this: Headphone Rig (same as in current sig) Speaker Rig SB3/CD73 -> Hertsens -> SimpleSE -> Nugget Audio Cicada
