  1. No, need orthos.
  2. The Adcom you heard sunday had no NFB in the analog stage. Or possibly rejects, parts which work, but didnt meet spec. Almost certain the PMD100 is an ASIC.
  3. Cool. I had to run 1.5 miles for the MSP yesterday, though they messed up and gave me an extra lap to run. Of course, after all was said and done, they told us that the governor had reallocated the funds which were to be used for the December academy, and that it doesnt look promising that they will have one at all this fiscal year. Basement isnt really able to be used like that without cutting up drywall. I could probably get it to my room through drop ceilings and following pipes and stuff, but I am in the basement right next to the room the modem is in. Just havnt cared quite enough to do it yet. Its plenty fast, especially coming from a 512/128k satellite.
  4. Nice! Verizon didnt run any cat5 here, just fiber to the box on the outside of the house, then comes in on a coax cable about 6' long to the modem. Modem has built in 802.11g though, which is nice.
  5. You know you cant turn stuff up on the foobar eq, but rather move the rest of the spectrum below zero? I didnt detect any treble peaks, and these usually bother me. Of course, very different rigs, and different music and listening tastes/habits.
  6. This. Yup, the HE-5 was sweet, and the LCD1 good enough that I am really dying to hear the LCD2. You got it, the SR-X mk3 was the little 30 year old supraaural stat.
  7. I will take any lambda frame you got over any grado (though more on a basis of sound than durability). The frames might seem flimsy, but tell that to my 30 year old SR-Lambda, which is still marching on.
  8. Just wondering, what are you actually doing with the tube? I presume (and please, correct me if I am wrong), that you are taking the differential outputs of the ES9018 and converting to voltage with a pair of standard opamp transimpedance amplifiers, followed by a differentially connected opamp with sallen-key LPF, and then an optional tube emitter-follower buffer on the output or a 3rd opamp buffer stage, each of which with maybe one more filter pole? I dunno, unless it is something extremely different than this, it would be much cheaper (and more interesting to most here I suspect) to just have a balanced LPF/buffer stage, and lose the tube and associated power supply completely. Heck, a DIO opamp LPF/buffer stage would be pretty cool, and give you the SE and differential outputs with no real addition in parts count. Meh, whatever, its your dac, you are free to do with it as you please.
  9. Woot!
  10. Stax SR-X MK3+SRD6
  11. Nice, seems to be a great summary of the issues. It is somewhat surprising you dont see more slaved PCI transports, as it really doesnt take much to implement, and some even can be made to sync to an input signal, so would require no hacking.
  12. Its been 5 minutes since before you joined.
  13. Cool, sounds good.
  14. Very nice! A function generator is probably the next major test equipment purchase for me, but I am not really sure what to look for or from where.
  15. Other problem is you are apt to get significant unwanted driver damping that way.
  16. Cool crappy, definitely curious to hear them when down that way. Have a buddy who has been Fonken this, Fonken that for the past several months. Just dont blow them up before 12/5.
  17. And I have heard of a certain someone who has a tice in need of testing/de-mothballing. Actually, I would be really curious to see how your measurements and what Senn provided match up on the HD800.
  18. Worked, then ran 2.5 miles in 15 minutes, which is a personal best.
  19. Right, I have done the same thing here at work, and they still look worlds apart, to the point that my boss was bitching about it for days. All fairly recent LCDs.

    Fluke 179?

    Well yeah, if you want the 40 hours of work version, but it will sure cost you.
  21. Poutine was pretty awesome, had it for the first time in Montreal and Quebec this summer.

    Fluke 179?

    Done, and this took 20 hours!
  23. Proper means fully removing the harmonics of the square wave. Take a 44.1khz input single, apply 8x OS, and then sufficient LPF to get the response down by 384khz, where the first image appears. You will get the same output as the original, in that 20-22.5khz 0-96dB range. Outside of this sure, high rez is unquestionably superior. Oh, and dont think you can get away without a reconstruction filter on high rez either.
  24. And what do you get after a proper reconstruction filter?
  25. But how will you measure them?
