Does that POS stand for what I think it does? i.e. it's a piece of moist brown...? ...and the complementary part marked NEG stands for Not Even Genuine....? ... or, perhaps, Not Even Good...?

My profile..? Bald head, stub nose and receding chin...... impressive..?

Post #757 on this site... http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/lounge/64538-resistor-sound-quality-76.html and http://www.audioheritage.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?8720-Resistor-signatures But, as usual, YMMV or is that YGGY..?

I'll be impressed when I hear your finished Carbons.....

But... everyone knows that carbon resistors give a nice organic sound signature.... think 1960's transistor radio........

but... but... it looks so threatening.......

Amazing.......... Call Ripley....... http://www.ripleys.com/

I guess if you paid me enough to like something I didn't like that would be questionable integrity and ethics on my part. I could be laughing all the way to the bank. and.... I could take my place next to all those nice snake oil salesmen, used car salesmen, bankers, lawyers, politicians, etc. A fine crowd to be found hobnobbing with.

This is about the current flow through the headphones when there is no input. If you were getting rail voltages, the amp would be seriously broken. You calculate the curent flow through the impedance/resistor ( the headphones) by the voltage across the impedance/resistance divided by the impedance/resistance. i.e. I=E/R 2.27/50=0.0454A = 45.4mA. 2.34/562=0.0042A = 4.2mA If you had 30V into 35 Ohms = 30/35=0.857A = 857mA More realistically 2.27/35 = 0.0649A = 64.9mA.

Only if you use one channel, or use it in balanced/bridged mode.

Something like this may do... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/like/321434036894?limghlpsr=true&hlpht=true&ul_noapp=true&hlpv=2&chn=ps&lpid=107&ops=true&viphx=1

...and there's Nirvana for sale on Amazon..... http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss/183-6834455-5231528?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=nirvana

Firstly, "moar is bettah" Repeat this mantra at least five times a day until it is etched into your psyche. You can't have too much of a good thing. It is more acute when the good is GREAT..... Secondly, being manufactured in Berlin by child labor is no different to the same problem in most parts of asia. How to resolve this problem is to listen for the plankton. Thirdly, the hoi polloi decrees that better goods need to be produced as cheaply as possible to feed their insatiable appetite for change. Hi-Fi seems to be out of step here due to the prevalence and proliferation of purveyors of snake oil, angel dust and unicorn tears that infest it. Everyone knows that snake oil, etc is rare and imbues a magical quality which enhances the good whilst eliminating the bad of any part of the chain of sonic reproduction it is applied to. This is a win-win situation. The buyer wins a new appreciation of his audible comprehension, and the seller drools over his inflating bank balance. What's not to like.....

So, it works on the flying brick principle......

Spritzer has 2 ready to ship http://www.mjolnir-audio.com/products/ "I’m struggling to keep the Carbon in stock and the two I finished last week were gone in a matter of hours. As of now there are two Carbons in stock ready to ship. Price: 4600$ plus shipping " Suck it up, big boy........ break the bank......

I'll let you know when I get there.......

Spritzer's heard stax of 'em

Well,there goes half the food that our civilized society consumes on a regular basis. Back to my liter of classic Coke and fries cooked in cottonseed oil.

You just need to reset your sarcasm filter, re-tune your senses of humour and the ridiculous, and enjoy the site for the endless hours of enjoyment that can be had sifting through the hype, trolling, rumour, innuendo, false information, logical disconnects, and fallacies which infest the threads in copious quantities. It is advised that, for your sanity's sake that you abstain from entering the Sound Science forum as it is a grossly fallacious abuse of that once renowned and respected term.

Yes, that sound of the surf crashing in and causing all that quantum foam which also muffles all that plankton detail is a real downer. I'm working on a new multi-layered comb filter to act as a brush and sieve so that all the plankton can be free of the Brownian random motion that pervades all of existence. My next project will be to stifle the sound of the jackboots of inexorable progress as they trample over the obsolete and useless inventions and concepts which despoil the technological landscape.

I never tried. Perhaps you have experience and a few pointers for the novices.

but, but..... its a noice big black case..... gotta be good......... For 7 large smackaroonies, how can you go wrong....? I just noticed in the pic on the top r/h side it has a switch for the right channel polarity. For a moment my intermittent dyslexia kicked in and I thought it read "ROFL"........

You don't learn much six feet under..........

Badly done DIY really scares me.......

Buy me one, and I won't report back.......
