This type of article that is dissmisive of the youth population is not new. I would argue that we are entering a new significantly better age for music due primarily to the DAP and computer based audio. The filter of the media company is slowing fading and artists with a DIY ethos can make a recording that sounds great without the concerns of radio volume as it will be played back on a DAP or computer.
Sonic arguement is BS as most people listen via marginal systems anyway and always have. Does it matter if it is a boombox, 8-track, rack system... Or mp3? I'd argue they all suck about equally. At the end of the day what's important to the kids is what has always been important to the kids, the music!

How about you just get the fuck outta here as you are pretty much not welcome without a personality transplant

So you basically crapped on the TTVJ FET-A amp their only to step right up here with a blatant ad for this thing. WTF makes you think we'd buy your obvious scamilicious shill attempt?

Great meet so far with great friends and amazing gear.
Galibier TT with the Luxman so far is sound of the meet for me.
Gary's HE90 rig was smoking with Porcupine Tree
New amp from Mark Reid is nothing short of amazing I hope we get pics of this up
The TTVJ fet-a is great and sound really good with the APL modded philips. This amp is a steal at the price

No, they're just looking to have a good excuse to shun him going forward
Direct hit!
CJ don't bother with this 'I can come for an hour' shit, come large or don't fucking bother at all. You are the new Grandfrenchtosta

CJ really disappointed but I guess friendship means something different to you then to us. Nice knowing you

Don, great idea and count me in for a donation!

i pulled this from Todd's description of the 307A...
"All of the transformers are custom wound by hand in the USA by one of the finest audio transformer producers in the world, and were designed specifically for this amplifier."
if it is the case that anyone can order this transformer, i can see how one could find it suspect or even disingenuous. but i certainly can still respect your position as it also makes sense. this whole situation seems a bit like making a mountain out of a molehill to me, but then again i don't think it such a big deal.
David anyone can order any transformer providing you know the spec and the company is still in business. Whether another amp ever used the spec is not really relevant. Pete came up with an amp and had a transformer wound to meet his design spec no different than most headphone amp designers that use transformer coupled amps.

Hey how much longer before you get your Stacker?
due mostly to me being out of town the first week of March mostly likely second week of March, you may take delivery first. If you do please post your thoughts.
-
this is really silly I could care less if they trannies were sowter, electra print, tango... as long as the amp sounds fantastic.
I am pretty sure the Pate and Todd have kept out of the name dropping on parts and have let the amp stand for itself and it does fine in that regard.
I hope Todd and Pete do well with both the FET-A and the 307A amps.

Chillin' on s sunday morning with some vinyl
Ry Cooder's Chicken Skin Music and Paradise and Lunch (damn his LPs sound good) and finished off with a blast from my High School southern rock fetish Marshall Tucker Running Like the Wind.

well looks aside I have always been impressed with the sound of the 307a amp, yes it could use some lipstick but the sound is just awesome. I have a feeling that the fet amp is going to rock and can't wait to hear it. I do think that Pete and Todd could do a better job of dressing up the exterior and hope they do so in future runs. I would not make my choice on the exterior of the box though.

Ken, good to hear you are home and hope you make a speedy recovery

I think my amp looks awesome .... but JPs looks even better. I like the red wood. I didnt think I would. The tube socket rings/ elevators or whatever you call them for JPs amp are very cool. Looks like he used a 5AR4 rectifier vs the 5U4G/5AS4 on mine; although the tube could be a fat bottle 5U4GB. Don did an incredible job on these amps.
I've got serious wood after seeing these, btw Don's orange amp in the center is what started this whole thing. It sounds incredible and was built for far less that the parts and case I chose. This may be the way to go for future builds when the boards show up.
Earl I really like the look of both of these I went four pin to accommodate headphones that I'll likely be selling in the near future to fund the hd800

The trafo is approx 63mm , I would need to clear the wires too or make a cut out in the side so the cover would ideally have an external diameter of 90mm
This is one I looked into but it is only 80mm - it could be made to work ..dB
while Don I'm sure will chime in after a bit, they are really DIY stuff. Don agreed to build mine after we met at the Vacuum State of the Art Conference last year as a favor.

Ken, sorry to hear about your accident , hope you have a speedy recovery

I've got one at the house but it is heavy and would not be supercheap to ship. I'll post details later.
-
I'm in for cash just lmk when and I'll buy Dan a cigar and bourbon to ease the pain
-
I would ask Ryan about that amp as I think that was mine that sold to Ryan and then to this guy. He did some mods/repairs after he got it.
I only say this as I do not think there are many/any other etched gold filled tops with the recifier inside examples of this amp
-
you and me to if I had spent 14 hours on the road for a big zero I'd be pissed
now just a short wait and this will be in the house
-
just the Klipsch Heresys to see what they were all about and the LSA monitors that while really good did not work for me. I have had my eye on the Alon Lotus series for a few years and if a Lotus Elite Signature came up at a good price I would dump this pair for them of if some Alon Circes came up same thing but for now these are brilliant.
Anyone in the area want to hear them just drop me a line

Nice! Looks like they got your rocks off. Aha ha.
magic audiophile rocks were not included I had to pay for them separately
ZDT is announced with pics
in Headphone Amplification

He's been working on both concurrently the ZDT has been in the works for months. The BA delays are a function of parts delivery not build time as they all pretty much go to the build house he uses. (not sure if the build house is doing the BA or not)
I am pretty sure the ZDT is being assembled by the build folks he uses.
