WTF, they still make field coil speakers?

The few times I can see people needing a lot of gain are when they use very inefficient headphones playing music that isnt recorded anywhere near 0dBfs. The rest seems to be perception of amplifier power by people who just dont understand gain.

Happy birthday Dom!

Actually, thats a good question, and I have no idea. What cable had you been planning to use?

Excellent. Brighter than the K1000? Also, couldnt you just remove the center pin of the stock cable and short it to the correct bias pin for the SR-X?

Fark, that sucks. With the issues I had with the pair I owned, I have to admit to being a bit leery of picking up a pair again if the opportunity presents, though they definitely have a certain appeal to them. SR-X on steroids though, that does sound promising. Be curious to hear them, and the SR-X Pros if you ever get those built.

Optional phase inversion stage to give you balanced output. Still using SE DACs though.

My o2mk1, sre-725, and sr-404 all measure about 18.54mm.

Nate, the 7000 has a beefy r-core transformer instead of the pair of cheap EI ones on your 1000. My guess is that it should be good. Nice chips, and IIRC, a VCXO based secondary PLL. No idea what the output stage is like though.

If something eventually happens to the cable on a mk1, can it be replaced with the improved mk2 cable and strain relief?

I think tyrion mentioned getting a set for one of the marathons he ran earlier this year.

1-2x seems about right for many headphones, and I cant really think of any I would personally want 11x with.

Oooh, modding the Jecklins in what way?

Hopefully they come back perfect. Just curious, how do you go about describing how they should be tweaked?

I bought pretty much all of my textbooks used online.

Excellent Todd! Made sure there are no old fogies homes moving in and taking over?

Yup, I used the ER20 too, definitely handy. Ears didnt hurt one bit.

Last day working at UMBC. At least I get free five guys.

Saw Arch Enemy tonight. Didn't like any of the openers, and whoever was on the soundboard needed some serious lessons. Still fun, and the sushi dinner preceding it didn't hurt any.

Yes, you do. Black Symphony is good stuff.

Looks like a pretty decent option, and one I was considering when I was thinking about going for the UCD400 for my poweramp needs.

I would go for the SPMS, and feel Hypex is probably about as good a choice as you have in the class D world.

So non-depleted uranium is an option then? Sweet!

I wasnt a fan of the sigma pro at CanJam, sounded really weird.

I think there are a lot of people jonesing for just the part you described.
