guzziguy Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 My Xmas gift to myself. Since I'm such an unintelligent solderer, I figured having an intelligent soldering iron couldn't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CD44hi Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 I almost got the DIY Buffalo 32S/headphone amp that came up on Audiogon yesterday. In fact I paid for it, however, had to cancel the transaction once I learned that the unit had no bottom panel! WTF. Wouldn't you disclose that little detail in the ad? The only reason I came to learn about it before it was shipped out to me was because I asked for a pic of the insides of the unit. I knew the seller from previous transactions and he has always been a straight-shooter, nice guy. He was really fast with the refund and it came off as a sincere omission, honestly. The interior had a very clean layout for sure. Unfortunately, an open bottom showing the guts, is not what you want for international shipping. A sure red flag, to have wires and transformers showing during inspection @ airports. Also, risk of damage is pretty high. Even though I am not familiar with the buffalo 32S configuration, I was really looking forward trying it. looked like a nice balanced headphone amp...

Dusty Chalk Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 That's kind of weird. One would think that since it's DIY, one would be able to order another one for you -- if your relationship with him was good, you might have gone through with the sale.

CD44hi Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Actually, the unit was built originally that way as the finished product. Sorry, I didn't explain it properly. Components were attached to the top panel and the bottom edges of the enclosure have feet to support the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mypasswordis Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 The SR-X is a good headphone, eerily flat in frequency response other than the slight LF roll off which is fixed in the pro bias version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
