RIP Raquel Welch. Damn was she hot... https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/15/entertainment/raquel-welch-death/index.html

I'd return them. Welcome to "high end" audio. I've never listened to the Atticus, or any other ZMF headphone. I know they have a good reputation, but what sounds good to one will vary for others. Don't buy expensive cables as they are generally snake oil, and as you note, no difference in sound. From your description, I don't think anything you might try (pads, cable, better amp, etc.) is going to get you where you want to go.

^ Yeah, I had thought of him as well. He hasn't been around here for quite awhile.

Wonder if the J.C. is John Curl? Have to poke around diya and see if there is anything there on this one.

One other thing I would add to James' excellent check steps would be to check the SMD resistors to make sure they aren't shorted. I had this happen with a couple of 0805 resistors on a mini dynalo, and could not see anything under magnification (OptiVisor 10X lenses). This might not be an issue with 1206/1210 packages though, or as much of one. Mine were all hand soldered. Using paste and a stencil might make this a non-issue.

Merry Christmas!

Yeah, that was disturbing. We used to watch him on SYTYCD when he was competing, and he seemed like a really nice guy. Sad.

According to Octopart, Winsource Electronics has 6300. Pricey ($22@+), not sure if they're reputable. My guess is no, but only a guess.

Happy belated birthday!

Tested the negative GRHV today, same performance. Was regulating at -55Vdc with the 100K resistor in. Removed it and tested at full voltage. -406.5Vdc, stable. Now for the Carbon boards.

Happy Birthday! I hope you have a great one Bryan!

Just a quick and stupid question: when testing amps/psus not in a chassis, do you tie any heatsinks to safety ground just in case? Just thinking that might be a good idea, particularly on HV stuff.

OK, powered up and works great. 406Vdc, stable. Bias is 576-580 at bias TP (drifting up a bit). What is the max for pro bias?
