It's not that heavy...

I would rather say that the HF mods were complicit in many ways, certainly when it comes to the Single Power mess. Now it's just profit driven to the max and anything that stands in the way of that will be removed. Who cares if people get screwed, there will be more suckers anyway. What really annoys me about HF is that nobody actually helps. Sure people ramble on about stuff they read or some half baked theories (let's sorb everything!!!!!) but when somebody comes with an actual question that matters? Nope...nothing...

That's exactly the issue, you can take some opamp crap or worse yet, a shitty discrete design and build it for pennies. Add to this just how little grasp people have on what makes the amps tick and it is a recipe for disaster. Then we have the "experts" which are even worse, utterly clueless idiots with no idea what is going on.

Who cares what the fucktards on HF are doing?

It was Levinson back in the late 90's (not the company by the same name) with Red Rose Music. Bunch of amps and speakers all sold for silly prices while actually being rebranded stuff from China. His new company is more along the lines of Cello though. As for this amp, it could be good but a marketing blurb tells us nothing. I've got the "JC-3" clone from China and it is pretty good for the money.

No gerbers will be released for this one.

I used to sell them but I don't do so any more.

Probably Lambda Spirit, Lambda Pro or Nova Basic. They all look the same.

Well there never was a Lambda Signature without the silk back dust covers. In different regions there were different versions though, often run after their official production had stopped. Such as the Lambda Pro New, Pro Classic (both in Germany) etc. but they often used other drivers so it was just as sales trick.

Happy Birthday!!

John knows full well what I think of that build even if it is none of your business. Not everybody gets to print my full name on an amp...

My voltage selector board.

Those look a lot like the Headamp knobs...

I think you should just stay at Head-fi as that's where "feelings" rule and being retarded is the norm.

As I said, this is a solder mask issue.

Only an idiot would draw those conclusions and how do you know they are better quality? I take it you have them do an insulation test on them?

As Soren states, my boards are very different as I never route this close to the connectors. The ground plane has a set clearance so that is never an issue once that is set correctly. One thing does spring to mind and that is the quality of the boards. PCB's are not created equal and what is fine for LV stuff can fail at HV. Just look at the lil'knight boards from back in the day. Utter garbage and a source of a lot of headaches.

The Dynalo is a pretty great preamp but just watch the gain.

I like bunnies...

Much better than any of his posts...ever!

Find me a cheap, broken set of 009's and I can check it out as I have a few sets of 007 drivers here.

They are lacking in the bass but that was on purpose. The Stax Pro series (so SR-X and 4070) all trade bass amount for depth and insight into the mix.

He's even worse than me in that regard so it is all good. The SR-X Mk3 Pro's are awesome though, truly one of the best headphones Stax have ever made. One of my goals now is to try and copy that design and improve it.

Sure blame me...
