Yes, I would definitely agree that is moaning. Maybe even some groaning?

The Complete New Yorker Book and DVD Set. Could not pass this up for $26 shipped (curse you head-case!) I got the 1925-2005 set. I don't really need to remember 2005-2008 just yet, if you know what I mean. Their sodding order system died on my the first time. I had to go back, re-add the item, and then delete the dupe. It worked the second time without a hitch.

I just placed an order for all the parts needed to build the Poor Man stat amp. Now we'll see if it is possible to build an amp for less then 300$...

I tuned out of that thread because it was so far over my head that planes were hitting it and dropping in the Hudson. Does that $300 include a case?

As far as it sounds like a 717 or better, I'd like one for my first flirt with O2. Make it small please

Does that $300 include a case?

It should. Cavalli's design (which seems to be what they're running with) is about $200 in parts, minus case.

Of course, you could always just put that shit in a -=mint tin=-.

As far as it sounds like a 717 or better

yeah, good luck with that

-=mint tin=-.

oh, I forgot about -=her=- ... thanks for the reminder.

The order I placed was for enough parts for two amps plus quite a bit of random ESP stuff/BH parts and the total was 250$+shipping. I bought a 280-0-280v/55mA R-core off ebay for 40$ and some 2SJ74's at 10$. The case I have (Galaxy or I find something nice and gut it) and quite a few of the parts needed (standoffs, RCA sockets, volume pot, IEC inlet, fuse holder, vector boards, stax sockets etc.) but they aren't expensive. This amp will be SE only though as I don't have a balanced source so that means I have more choice with pots. Odds are I'll go with a Noble here as usual.

yeah, good luck with that

Yeah, that's never going to happen. The 717 is about 7-900$ used and a screaming deal at that so a 300$ amp will not beat it but it will be fun trying. That being said the target headphone is the Lambda range and a simple, affordable DIY amp that most can build is clearly a good thing for the community. That is will probably outperform the RSA A-10 is just a bonus...

Just in time for your low serial number HD-800 you lucky, lucky, man I guess finding that TacT came in handy.

Al, congrats! I am jealous. Although, I am digging the HR Ultra Desktop.

Congrats, Mr. Voltron. Happy listening to you.

Cool, keep us updated with that. If it turns out to be a great project, I might try to build it to drive Koss ESP950 on the cheap. There's a black hole right now in the <800$ price range for stats amps.

Thanks all. I am lucky and I have sold more than enough gear to pay for this lovely item so it even feels better than just shelling out new cash.

Will do. If this design doesn't pan out then we'll just have to start on a new one.

Band of Brothers on Blu-Ray and a PS3 remote.

A Parasound 1500 D/AC. Holy smokes, is this thing even an upgrade from my DAPs! I thought the hum in my CKKIII was due to the amp - but when I plug in the Parasound the noise floor drops! I'm almost don't want to go on holiday this weekend so I can listen more

Quad- The Closest Approach. Book by Ken Kessler.

Hope it's as good as people say. A bit expensive now that it's OOP

I want one of those, I'm just not going to pay

$180 worth of boudin and crawfish tails.
