  1. I'm in. Cheers!
  2. The height was increased so that they wouldn't have to cut holes in the bottom to make room for the inductors (prototype was in a GES case), and the 12AU7 were changed to 6SN7 tubes, but I don't know about the rest of the changes. I could likely meet you to let you try the K1000 at some point, or Sherwood might be interested since he is closer. I'd bring the SAC KH1000 amp for comparison.
  3. The final WA22 at RMAF (Asr's) was better with K1000 than the prototype that I borrowed with the Sylvania 7236 in it during the summer. The prototype had enough volume with K1000 but not enough control over the drivers (like my Sq Wave XL). So, I would be curious to know what tubes Jack had in Asr's WA22 while it was on display at RMAF, because it seemed to drive my K1000 as well as wiatrob's EHHA (18 watts) and much better than the prototype.
  4. hahahahaha
  5. Wonder why the video was taken down.
  6. You can just use Tyll as a divining rod to find one.
  7. Yah, just one 10" woofer seems good enough with the Transformers 2 last night, so I think I will be pleased. Now I just need a proper cable to connect both subs at the same time. The Tributaries RCA subwoofer cable that I bought has the Y-split on the wrong end so that the cables after the split are way too short - so the two subs would have to be set back-to-back. Unfortunately I am dealing with a ground loop that I need to fix as well, because when I plug the RCA LFE into the sub I then get a hum through all 5.1 speakers (unless I convert the 3-prong subwoofer power cable to a 2-prong). My plan is to use them for music a lot as well as for movies. So I also thought it would be fun some day to try the subs in my 2-ch rig. I could use my Apogee mini-DAC feeding its XLR out into each sub, and then feed its single ended output into my Yamaha AV receiver so that the receiver can drive my Polk SDA CRS speakers (I set jumpers so the Apogee's volume control affects all the outputs). This should be fun, as I used to have an MK 15" subwoofer with 250 watts running along with the Polk SDA CRS back in the mid 80's.
  8. I traded for a pair of Onyx Rocket UFW-10 subwoofers (but in maple wood/piano black tops).
  9. Wow, 18 months ago my HE60 drivers were $254 for the parts + labor and shipping, and when I sent my HEV70 with a 220v wallwart they replaced it with a 110v wallwart and didn't charge me for that. However, I had also ordered a wallwart from another department and I went ahead and kept both, just in case, since the 220v was actually dead.
  10. Happy barfday!

  12. Spritzer, you were right, the SRM-717 does work well with the O2. I got to play with Dinan's modded re-wired 717 today at his place with O2 Mk2, HE60 and SR-003 and I did enjoy it. He says it's much better than it was stock, but I have to take his word for it since I haven't heard a stock one. The O2 Mk2 midbass bloat was more obvious with the 717 than with my GES where the forward mids were the bigger problem. I think that the time that I spent with the eXStatA at RMAF a month ago tells me it was on a similar level, but that was too long ago to really make a proper comparison.
  13. Wait, what...

  15. It's not official yet. Why, do you want me to put in a good word for you?
  16. Also try a volume attenuator for the IEM, as it cuts much of the hiss with only a slight impact on the sound.
  17. I think Blutarsky is selling his HD600 for a good price. I told him I'd loan him a nice 4-pin XLR cable for his ZDT and he'd change his mind real fast (he also should get new pads).
  18. YES. Get a pair and add an HD650 cable to it.
  19. So, if we want to do a Hackintosh with our 10.6.0 DVD later, but can't do it until after 10.6.2 is out, how do we get to 10.6.1? I was planning to do this someday, but I can't rush out and do it before 10.6.2 hits the wild.
  20. I do hope you try the "bass reducer" EQ with the iPod. I think you will be surprised.
  21. I'm stumped by your reluctance to do a couple of simple changes like raising them more and adding some sound absorbing materials to the inside of the "reverberant desk cave" where they reside. The "Bass Reducer" EQ on the iPod also works well with the A2 (and I mentioned a couple of other EQ that help the bass too). Don't give up so easily.
  22. OMG, I LOL and almost woke my wife up.
