  1. I have no idea where to get mylar this thin in Europe but I got mine from the US. There is a thread on DIY headphones over on HF running now which has a link to the store. The stock headphone didn't have mylar to begin with but it was relatively thick. In that time 3-4um was the norm as thinner material wasn't available. As for curved stators, they are a stupid idea, even the inventor of curved panels has said so. Now staggered panels, that's a whole other thing and quite a good idea.
  2. Nope, stupid "green" government. Fucking commie bastards...
  3. They got in so much trouble over that it isn't even funny. I don't really see the problem though as we've already mastered cars which can drive on ice so this might be a new growth industry for us...
  4. I see your YH-1000 and raise you spare SR-Omega drivers...
  5. Ditto, sure hope they will make the two series needed to conclude the story.
  6. Just finished Luther. Brilliant BBC stuff...
  7. Happy Birthday Scott!!
  8. I first thought that was a shot from any harbor in Iceland as they are filled with those beasts. Same basic design too, probably built in Norway IIRC or using the same plans.
  9. Ehh messed up would be a good guess. One of their major promises during the campaign was to break all their promises...
  10. There are plenty of stories but they are better suited for a more closed avenue. We did support their campaign though as they had no money and we did in fact make the cake for the congratulatory party. It even had a small bear statue made out of sugar since they promised a polar bear in the city zoo... Ohh and this may be inappropriate but one of the few clips of him I found in English. It's from an old sketch show here...
  11. Today is my first day off since I got home from CJ so I slept in until 8am. May not sound too grand but it's far better then my usual 4am time... I have no idea what I'm going to do today but right now I couldn't care less as I'm listening to my APL/ESX setup and marveling at the 100% valve/transformer amplification...
  12. Fuck yeah Al!!! I finally bought the last missing piece to get Marc's Vulcan amp up and running. Just took me about two years to get to this point...
  13. It really isn't a great idea to go past 1200V on the stators (bias*2) though as bad things will happen. We need to design our own drivers with 1100V bias...
  14. I suggest picking up some shifts working at a local bakery before using the amp to get used to the massive amount of heat....
  15. Dammit!!! Why do I always miss out on the good stuff... Bottom line here though, get a Stax 4070, it was designed as a request for people who really care about quality.
  16. ETF... :drool:
  17. You don't have to worry about our interest in the circuitry having any commercial links. What we are interested in is well designed gear at a fair price and exposing those that are trying to peddle expensive crap in a pretty box. At 250$, I can't see you having any trouble from us.
  18. You've met me so you should be well aware of the dangers of ice-snorting...
  19. Depends on what arc you need. Getting Stax to sell you something isn't easy though...
  20. Well I'm up for basically any location but we do need a solid core of people on the ground to make it work. As for Iceland, any form of a trade show is out of the question given how insane our customs officers are. I'm sure I could rally up all the dealers here so Sennheiser and Grado etc. but the real focus of the meet would be to just have a great time.
  21. You, good sir, are hired!!
  22. No reason I can think of to use the Mk1 pads. Probably very expensive too if you can only get them from Europe...
  23. Happy Birthday!!!
  24. Correction, I'll be looking into making them. Turns out the engraver I know has closed up shop so I'll have to find a new one...
  25. Those pads look genuine to me and you could maybe get black Mk1 pads from some of the distributors. Try Germany and the UK...
