KGSS?

The HE60's sure love their power... The parts should be interchangeable but I really don't get the silver part as all the metal parts on the BL are champagne? It's the A which is silver and black and looks bitching IMO.

It will. Next up will be the new KGSS though, moar voltage means moar good!!

Sadly there is still a lot of them around and they seem to be up to their old tricks again...

Here they are mostly found in the south too, especially the small cluster of islands off the south coast.

Yup. There is a lot of them so why not? As for the ptarmigan, it has been hunted quite a bit in the last few decades (it's a popular food on Christmas here) so a few years ago all all hunting was banned. They quickly recovered and now some are shot each year but nothing like before. Contrary to popular belief, we do take great care of the wildlife here and would never hunt something to extermination. We are all too aware how dependent we are on our fishing which is why we spend a fortune each year making sure there is nothing amiss. We have gone crazy in the past and paid for it with near financial ruin (1967) so something like this will never be allowed to happen again.

That's what she said...

I had some fun trying to kill a T-amp today. On those large transformers, any deep bass and it distorted like crazy. I'll drink to that!!

I have my 7 year anniversary coming up. Yup but really it is any sale of Japanese parts to the rest of the world.

There was a review of the Eos in the newest HFN and they liked it a lot. Didn't go all crazy and wanted to date the designer though like with the Pass XA60.5...

Pffft clothes are just a burden

You can't blame us really, we kill everything we see.

The polar bears just can't catch a break with us. Now that their work is done we shoot them on sight.

If you have a SR-Sigma normal bias kicking about, try it. No wonder the old man liked them so much as they come alive with some power. That reminds me, I need to bug Justin about some Aristaeus PCB's because I clearly need more amps...

After an hour or so sweat can start to build up (even up here in the cold) but no sweat with the Mk2 pads.

We were clearly a large part of the nazi warmachine. Damn Allied troops thwarting our dreams of world domination...

Seems like somebody had the same idea

The Omega pads are easy to open, the leather is just rolled over the foam. See here. On the SR-007 you get a bit more punch in the bass and most of all, you sweat a lot less with the Mk2 pads.

It's more to do with the thicker leather and the different design then the slightly stiffer foam.

Hmmm that's a good point. For 5k$ more I can supply a small oven to cook the headphone before use for the ultimate burn in accessory.

Well for 30K we could put in BG's and V-caps which seems to be all the rage now in upgrading the SRM-007t's and ship it with some burn in adapters so you don't have to wear out your headphones.

The Pacific Pt1 and Pt2. Great series but for some reason they think Iceland was occupied by Germany as seen on a map in the briefing room. While in reality US troops were stationed here (since we didn't ask them and were neutral, technically occupying us) a few months before Pearl Harbor.

Right...

Ditto, I will never go back to the Mk1 pads.

You can see the nominal gain of a tube type in the data sheet under u or mu. It's only a guide though as for instance the nominal impedance of a speakers but it's fine for this purpose. The ECC tubes are high gain tubes so and not really something you need for this role. Edit: A 6SN7 as the input tube would indeed be a good place to start as Marc pointed out. If you know how to solder then I'd definitely replace that 100R resistor (just make sure all the caps are discharged before doing any work inside the amp) and fitting a simple DPDT toggle switch on the back would give you two inputs and the third pair of RCA's could be wired as a loopout. It would be a great beginners project as some older switches are huge and easy to work with. From the looks of the lead wires this amp has a Plitron transformer and with the birdge rectifiers mounted on the chassis this amp could give you years of trouble free service.
