The Orthodynamic Thread
Ouch!! I thought the ML SummitX was bad with a dip to 0.4ohm at 18kHz...

The Headcase Stax thread
Cables make or break the SR-007 (price has no bearing here, just quality) so change cables ASAP.

What did you do today?
I wasn't there so I don't have any but it was covered by all the newspapers so I should have a link in the morning.

What did you do today?
I worked on transforming an old chassis to fit the BH while my brother won cake of the year contest on behalf of the bakery. It was a large contest with 42 entries but we won it by a mile. The judges even ate the second cake which was only meant for the photo shoot. It's good to win since a lot of work went into this. We set out to make a very complicated cake on purpose to try and make up for the lack of professionalism running rampant these last few years and it worked. Last years winner was a direct copy from a Valrhona brochure with nothing changed. The recipe for our cake is 7 pages long with every last bit made from scratch so no corners were cut. Needless to say it was fucking awesome...

Sitting here listening to T2/007, "Indeed"

The Headcase Stax thread
They really are something else, one of my favorite Stax headphones. Yup, I'm done collecting headphones. I really only need a couple of SR-007's and a SR-003 for testing amps.

With what existential crisis are you grappling right now?
Small "misunderstanding" when wiring up the delay line in the BH PSU. I really should know better then to be working on this stuff after a long day at work but... Luckily the heater transformer and the delay board were the only things connected so no harm done.

That's why KG is working on SS amps to rival the BH. They won't run cool by any means but even high bias solid state runs cooler then the tube amps.

With what existential crisis are you grappling right now?
I'm good though my DIY spirit is a bit rattled after creative wiring today resulted in live mains shorting out with the resulting kaboom and lights out. Should be back to normal in the morning.

That would be a soldering station then...?

Are there other electret boxes with three-pin connector?
First step is to use them on a speaker amp with the headphone output taken from the power amps or build a M3/B22/Dynahi. These things need a lot of current which the Xcan was not designed to do.

Great impressions Tony.

The only other box like this is on the Phillips N6326 (or what ever it was called) or any of it's oem versions. There are two small transformers inside but the cable is fixed in place.

Forgot about the ground loop breaker... If you have one extra then please send it along and let me know how much I owe you.

Firstwatt F5: Why some people should not DIY
It's only one for the 230v, put where the two primary windings are serial connected if I'm reading it correctly. It's also the small ones next to the output transistors which I'm not so sure about finding up here.

Post the last thing you bought!
I did try it with some mod to the output and while it isn't great, it wasn't bad either. Slow, soft and very colored which suits some people. Now that is pure win. I wonder what codec they used for the sound on the stock machine and has anybody any idea how large the memory is in those cartridges?

If you have any spare thermistors then that would be great. I'm not sure I can get this size here... \

I bit of an update with this troubled beast. I might have over done the number of screws holding the bottom panel just a bit but hey... it's not going anywhere now!!!

Tivoli Radio Model 2 + CD player. It was for my mother but not a bad bit of kit for the 400$ new I paid for it. Hmmm how about we add a CD-rom drive to the N64 and make a PSX beater...
