Happy birthday!

Nice to see you on the dark side. Isnt it nice to have a forum to go to where you can ask a question about an unpopular amp without being reminded how unpopular it is? I may have just reminded you. Whatever, I like the MPX3 too. Unless Im mistaken,the ECC99 fits what singlepower called the ECC-1 adapter. Same adapter as for the 12a*7 & 12bh7 The MPX3 puts about 160V on the plate of the "bottom" triode in the WCF, which looks like a nice voltage for the ECC99 BUT! I would note that the ECC99 will draw about twice as much current as 6sn7 in an MPX3 (about 25mA vs 8-12mA depending on exactly how the amp was built) This puts you very close to the maximum plate dissipation on the ecc99. If your amp can run 6BL7/6BX7 for sure it can handle the current, but the tube will be running just short of its power limit. If your amp has the high-voltage switch DO NOT use high voltage with this tube.

you may laugh (and I encourage it) but I actually own one of those. If its any consolation, I got it for free from a speaker builder/dealer of other audio products who received a case of them as samples but could not bring himself to sell them because the MFR would not/could not explain how it worked to his satisfaction. I have never treated a CD with it so it should still have all 10 "treatments" on it. I have however used it as a card-holder in my weekly Texas-holdum game when my normal card holder (a cube made of 6 2X4 lego blocks) was not findable. I am supremely confident that this mystical device has no effect on poker cards. Despite rubbing vigorously before looking at my cards (and repeating to try to change them mid hand when I was the big blind) I didnt get a single winning hand that night. I did manage to steal quite a few chips with placebo raises and bully tactics but people quickly realized I wasn't catching shit and I took the long drive home early in the night...

Happy Birthday!

Im not really sure why you all want to drop something onto this guys car, but you can buy a lot of water for $1000

Happy birthday

Im here! I dont like the Melos with the RS-1, its far enough into the "smooth" category that it dosnt have enough detail for me. OTOH, Melos + HP1000 = Win I do find myself listening to my RS-1 more than my HP-2 as I think they sound better on "non melos" amps than the HP-2. On the Q of what tubes to use in the Melos I used to be into rolling and comparing tubes, but its been ages since I was into that. I would look for something described as having slightly bright treble and thin bass with the HP-1000 in a Melos. I think there are some pretty detailed comparisons on various 6dj8 tubes in a Melos on Head-fi.

Well guys, I had an awesome time as I guessed I would. There was simply too much good stuff to go around, but easily the best was hanging out with everyone. In honor of this monumental occasion, I have drawn up an easy to use feedback form for any gear anyone would like to comment on.

When you make a new post for yourself from within this thread, use the "quote" button and then you can type your answers where it says "PLACE ANSWER HERE". Later this evening, I will fill out "Form 2" and post my impressions of various gear that I listened to in this thread. Thank you. Form 1 -- FOR THE LISTENER TO FILL OUT IMPRESSIONS ABOUT THE JUNK I BROUGHT AND THEN POST HERE Head-Case member: nikongod - THE BUILDER Built & brought some gear which you listened to Head-Case member: YOUR NAME HERE - THE LISTENER 1) ITEM(S) LISTENED TO BY : Please list the model number, manufacturer's name, color of the unit, etc. PLACE ANSWER HERE 2) APPROXIMATE TIME LISTENED TO THE ITEM, less time spent figuring out which jack to plug into, or time spent selecting music from my unconventional source: PLACE ANSWER HERE 3) HOW YOU LISTENED: Please list if you listened to other gear with this gear. Since it would be impossible to listen to an amp without a headphone, please fill out multiples of this form for each and every piece of my gear used PLACE ANSWER HERE 4) Impressions a) How smooth was BUILDER/LISTENER interaction? Was BUILDER friendly? Did we communicate well and did I get all of your concerns and questions answered? PLACE ANSWER HERE Did BUILDER explain every possible alternate method of building an amp with the same number of tubes/transistors to you upfront? PLACE ANSWER HERE c) Did BUILDER explain thoroughly how the device works? PLACE ANSWER HERE d) Did it appear that the BUILDER dusted off his gear before bringing it to the highest alter of headphone listening? Are you easily offended by several months of dust accumulation on all horizontal surfaces? PLACE ANSWER HERE e) Did BUILDER explain (if applicable) that he owns nothing with a valid warranty? PLACE ANSWER HERE 5) RECEIVED GEAR a) Did you (LISTENER) experience any problems with the gear you were using? PLACE ANSWER HERE Did you (LISTENER) have to wait in line to listen to my gear?

Happy Birthday Deepak!

the fuse may blow but still conduct (due to arcing) if the voltage is higher than rated wikipedia about 1/3 of the way down.

They are for sale at Hammacher Schlemmer. Perhaps the writing will sand off.

Im on the fence on that. I have not yet, but I did sell the rega that the RB250 for the DIY-TT came off of. So the DIY TT has been unarmed for several weeks now. The Technics is kind of a hold-over until I can build the arm for the DIY-TT, I just wish the Technics decks didnt sound so good.

Happy Birthday!
