Thanks

Well thats true now, but at one point you could get replacement drivers from bluetin.com.

Indeed they do

Thats exactly how Mikhail has the preamp out on my amp working.

Congrats on the new speakers Mike they look great!

I'm no expert but they look legit to me.

Are those perf boards secured to anything?

When I had a Melos a couple years ago the Amperex PW 7308s were my favorite tubes for it. Shame they've become even more outrageously priced.

Thats pretty bad, I hope you get your money back soon.

I actually owned the metal version of those a few years back. Think they're called the EM-9R?? They sounded ok but I thought they were hideously overpriced.

perhaps transformer coupled like in my modded philips?

Well of course it's unbelievable it's on TV . Still though I just expected that the camera crew helped him out and that there was some sort of medical staff around. I never would have expected they'd be staying in luxury hotels half the time.

he's just awesomely phony now i guess

Well this kinda sucks: http://www.nypost.com/seven/07242007/news/nationalnews/grylls_thrills_bogus__expert_nationalnews_don_kaplan.htm

I don't have a book buying compulsion, but I do have a dvd/hd-dvd/blu-ray buying compulsion.

I tend to agree and this is a big part of the reason why I'm not overly fond of the R10, RS-1 and GS-1000. Sure they can sound great with very specific types of music and I guess if I only listened to that one specific genre they would be great phones. But I listen to a wide variety of music so I want versatile headphones.

No my amp isn't tuned for R10's why would it be? I tried every tube combination I could think of from 6sn7/2c51/6414/12au7/5687 as the input tube to the 6080/6528/7802 as the output tubes. They just aren't headphones I like very much. Yes I do listen to quite a lot of rock, but I do also listen to vocal, jazz and the occasional classical. Didn't really like the R10 with any of the music I tried them with.

Bear is awesome

I still had the R10's a little bit after getting my current SinglePower amp and my thoughts on the R10 changed very very little.

SP does custom SA's now I believe its one of those.

Yeah the Prestige is a much better movie and yeah Biel and Johansson can tag team me anytime they want. Looks like there's a Man vs Wild marathon on discovery today, probably watch a couple hours of that.

Yeah that looks much better than it did. How are you liking that SinglePower SA you swapped in?
