Close it until right before some big sale this fall, please.

The idea of Dusty frolicking in a field of rainbows and puppies makes me happy.

XLR is 110ohm, which meets the spec for AES/EBU, it is that the connector has issues with RF signals, which is why they had to crank the voltage so high, which causes other issues... Bah, beaten by Chris.

Yes

Several of those were solid state. That is really crap luck. Hopefully none of the amps took out speakers as they died. At least you have some nice cases to build new amps in.

What did you do with 100 sets of O2 pads? Sounds like a recipe for something crazy and wonderful. Also, I don't get why they are more concerned that the pads will go on possibly gray market headphones to the level that they would pass on a good sized sale.

Indeed, new job in NYC. I start on or around 5/17.

Damn! What amps?

Round trip bus tickets to NYC for this weekend. Gotta find me an apartment!

I will almost certainly take you up on that, Scott. I would like to get in Thursday night, but no idea how likely that is considering the new job. Otherwise I will be there friday night-sunday night, barring unforeseen calamity.

It has been quite a while, but I didn't like them nearly as much. Mods are transforming, but they are probably worth playing with. In the stock housing though, I have preferred the older Fostex, T20v2 and T40v1.

FIFY

Indeed they were. They could actually probably make it to your place for a visit next week, for a few weeks. Right, quite good for a closed phone, and a phone which can be driven off a normal amp. Oh yeah, for actual closed dynamic cans, I like the MB Quart QP805hs with o2 pads.

Are you going to break open the old drivers to try and figure out what was wrong with them?

This is my pair, Fostex T50rp woodied by Smeggy.

I would be up for that.

Still in the area for a few more weeks, and considering the family I have in this area, I will probably come back occasionally.

Sam Smiths Oatmeal Stout is good stuff, also really dig the weyerbacher heresy. Welcome back.

Woodied Fostex T50rp.

Make the input stage a real differential pair with tail to b-?

You can just plug it in, all that will happen is absolute phase will be switched. If you think you can hear this, the parasound has a button on the front panel which inverts it.

Indeed, very interesting. Curious how pricing will look, as well as the frame.

I am definitely very curious how these turn out, and what changes they have made from the proto set which was present at NYC this past fall.

Sounds cool to me!

Submitted written acceptance for my offer of employment, and all supporting documents. Looked at apartments online.
