You say sane people, I say people with too small a range of experience.

That is actually a pretty good idea...thanks Al's son!

PS is cool, but your meters are what is really catching my lustful gaze.

Congrats Naaman!

That doesnt take into account any rolloff the OPTs may have or LC resonance though, so it is definitely possible to get boosted bass with the wrong (or depending on POV, right) parafeed cap size.

Hawtness indeed.

You have the OPT ratio, so you can calculate reflected impedance, and use that. Probably you would want 3-10uf.

The Phillips 1000VA UPS on www.thingfling.com right now looks pretty good.

Happy birthday Fitz!

Have a wheeled smackdown with the monster guy.

Or a segway.

Agreed. Good wiring does not necessarily mean it is pretty, and while it might not be a Nugget Audio build, it certainly doesnt look like the Mikhail builds I inspected in Florida.

Must be the secret finger bite-block technique.

Congrats Todd!

Ooh, GCD750, sexy dacsies.

$2k is a lot for an unknown quantity tube headphone amp. No idea what transformers are used, and fair chance that he would be using OPTs wound for 8ohm impedance.

No pics, but HD580 out of various crap like a radioshack preamp and PC speaker headphone jacks until I got my first cmoy built.

He wishes.

That would be more trouble for Dusty I think, since last I checked, he was single.

I bet he could whip up a mean peg-leg. Hope all the injured get better quickly.

Wouldn't you end up with a diaphragm which is overdamped? A low z amp provides the damping electrically, so if beyer is compensating for a lack of this by increasing diaphragm tension or additional external damping materials, and you suddenly add the electrical damping back in, it should push it too far the other way, instead of just getting better and better.

OK, so it is just a protection device, with no significant benefits to ripple rejection. Thanks, that answers that.

He had both at Danjam, the new one might have been better, but still was pretty fail. Which did you have, the wire one which looked like the bastard child of an A-T?
