grawk Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Ok, another thread I'm not sure I'm sorry I missed. Hope things are better now JB, and Todd, I still assume you're lying. You have a track record. This would never happen on boomana's forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aerius Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 The stealth was even worse. On the stealth the front end gain tube was also used as an ultra high impedance preamp output. In other words it sucked bigtime. Could not even drive 3 feet of cable. So ray learned from his serious mistakes, and on the B52 added a simple cathode follower. Wow, that's taking stupid to a new level. So with a 12AX7 on the input the stealth would have an output impedance of something like 40k or more, and with a 12AU7 it would be around 1/10th of that? I didn't think it was possible for a "designer" to be that incompetant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin gilmore Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 This is ray we are talking about here.... His stupidity is only matched by is arrogance... With a 12au7 the output impedance of the preamp section would be about 18k. With a 12ax7 it would be closer to 25k. Output impedance of the conrad johnson art preamp (act2) is specified as <500 ohms ct5 and ct6 are 800 ohms Ray's B52 is something in the range of 1500 to 1800 ohms.

maschuu Posted October 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 I think as soon as i sold the Hornet, i'll try a mini?. I found a local guy who builds them for a good price. And he's currently on his first ?22, so for the future.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectator Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Wait, I'm rational, informed, and intelligent? Judging from what you say and own, I'm taking it that you are at least informed and intelligent. As for rationality, there are many forms. Though you may not consider yourself to be rational in certain aspects, you are at least rational in way some individuals such as Mr. Rose are not.

Upstateguy Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 KG As long as trose brought up the subject, might you be interested in discussing the HR-2? Thanks USG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin gilmore Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 What is to discuss. An opamp, and 2 transistors. Exact circuit published on headwize 2 years before ray built the piece of shit. I have discussed this plenty, do a search. And the Apache, you guessed it is 2 x hr2 in one box. Virtually identical to the circuitry in the headroom products circa 2000 or so. Nowhere near the beef necessary to truely drive low impedance headphones. Oodles and Gobs of feedback. Yuuch.

kevin gilmore Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 I'm feeling fine billy. Still happy from massive hunk of moo from mortons on saturday. Combined with huge shrimp alexander. Been working on a failed drive in a 3T raid set since friday. Started friday morning and just finished about 15 minutes ago. Sure would like to find a way to back that thing up in less than 1 week. (removable media) At least the hr-2 is built well with none of rays famous major errors. 1) It can't cook eggs on the top panel. 2) No noise from the switchers because there aren't any. 3) No mother fucking huge caps that do absolutely nothing. On the other hand 1) not only is is not pure class A, it can dip into real class B due to layout error with temperature compensation diodes. (fixed in apache) Ok, go and look the rest up. I need coffee! There billy, you happy now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin gilmore Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 IBM would be glad to sell you a tape backup solution that could EASILY back up 3T a day. And eat up 1000 sq feet, and consume HOW MUCH POWER. OK, that is not quite fair, an EMC box will do it in 4 rack panels. One on line raid'd and mirrored set, One off line set that runs the backup on 5 or more 600gb dlt drive in parallel. Then it would only take about 6 hours. Plus robots and stacks of tapes. Price is still nasty. Want something that sits on a desk, makes no noise, and can do at least 200 GB /hour. Without changing tapes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ojnihs Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 I think as soon as i sold the Hornet, i'll try a mini?. I finally sold my hornet, so I'm hoping to go that route too, but I'm not too sure since I got an iPhone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
