$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?

Of course it goes into heat, but where? There is no shunt element, so what is dissipating the extra current that the load isnt using, especially during no load scenarios? Maybe odd idea, but for dual tracking, how about instead using a differential i/o opamp for the error amplifier, running on something like +/-15v instead of +30v like the current error amp? One would, of course, need to invert the negative supply parts.

Not so much, just a few minutes and you are up and running.

How would the playback software impact jitter, assuming it isn't also a new hardware driver?

How much noise reduction do you get before the pass transistor? I would think the reg could get that kind of ripple reduction alone. Soft start and current limiting is definitely nice, some of the major benefits of shuntregs. Gotta love a supply which will not burn if shorted. So where does the extra current overhead go?

What is the proposed benefit of the big input CCSs (parallel pairs of 10M90 DMOS devices)?

I wouldn't say worthless, as it will stop the casual user. Same as WEP. Of course, if you are using WPA2, no need to bother. If someone can break the WPA encryption, a MAC filter will do nothing. Because MAC addresses are transmitted in the clear?

Me either, except typing my WPA2 code into the touch is a major PITA.

Maybe. Either way though, happy feckn birthday!

So when are you ordering JH16pro, Monkeyman?

Happy birthday F3D!

Problem for you, but of great potential benefit to the rest of us.

I think this is a great idea. You will need to get a special adapter for it to work with your HF-2, but it will be well worth it.

LCR meter, and my speakers showed up today.

My dad did that with his first racing bike, old trek 2100. Didn't look too impressive, but the carbon under the clear plastic was definitely broken.

Pretty easy to do by forgetting the bike is on a roof rack when driving into one's garage. Does decidedly unpretty stuff to carbon fibre.

I can tell by some of the pixels...

How will a mouse and some extra ram help this?
