Yes, perhaps. I hadn't taken it that way, as I assumed everyone would at least check matching.

I posted this on the diyaudio forum thread. So far, Qusp has agreed with me. No response from TC (as Al termed him). This kind of illustrates the bravado employed as modus operandi, in that he states "well known facts" as such, and no one calls him on it. In this case, it seems apparent that he has never used the dual devices, and just makes assumptions based upon theory, not reality. Maybe at one time the known quality of dual devices was true, but not from my experience, at least for what I measured for.

Yeah, was going to ask if Justin still had any. Though it would be a bit low (+/-12V), there is an Elpac WM063 on ebay. Would have to check the pinout. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ELPAC-PLUG-POWER-SUPPLY-WM063-12VDC-5VDC-/270817596062?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f0dfc929e

My favorite is the Claudio Abbado/CSO recording as far as playing. I heard MTT conduct the CSO on this in 2006, and did not care for his interpretation (odd tempos at times to me). The soloist in the 4th movement was the same one as on the SFO recording (Lorraine Hunt Lieberson, RIP), and was the best I've ever heard, and I will probably buy that recording just for that. I have the first Kaplan recording on LP and didn't care for it much. YMMV.

Here are some jpgs from his posted gerbers. Sorry, my graphics capability here kinda sucks Really odd ground plane layout, including a couple of traces that don't go anywhere (connected to a pair of series caps).

I would guess that LTE may blow up many peoples data plans/caps...

I'm not a statistician (or even really know much about it and DBTs), but I would think that DBTing amps would be a piece of cake compared to cables, unless some of the cables had R/C/L added to them (something like MIT boxes) to purposefully skew them from a piece of wire. Perhaps that is what you meant by grossly different geometries and wire.

Happy Birthday!

I haven't looked at the PCB design on this, but from reports I've read, the amp is very low noise with IEMs, so it must at least be doing its job OK. The thread on diyaudio is much more illuminating than that on hf BTW.

Putting it on a UPS truck, it would likely return with far more pressing problems than a broken tap... A 4-40 tap would be pretty small to try to drill into, and as Kevin noted, hard and brittle. If you have some really sharp pointed tweezers, maybe try to work it around to loosen it enough so there is something to grab onto? Good luck! And good thread idea as well.

I think that after the manner of his attack(s) on Ti, most here could give a fuck about what he was doing, let alone provide suggestions on it. I'd agree with others that there are far more worthy targets for his attacks if that is what he felt he needed to do.

RIP Steve! Dinny, I agree. Nice story Jeff, but that doesn't surprise me.

^x2... that'll teach those kids to play in your yard! Me: blew up the channel on the power amp I was repairing for my brother. Actually did this a couple of weekends ago, just discovered it tonight. Fuck me. Was fine, not sure what happened.

I'd recommend reading your welcome PM understanding your welcome PM going to www.head-fi.org and asking your question there Oh, and Tyll gave you good advice...

Congrats to you and your wife Chris! And to Benjamin, for making it into this world, of course

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday boyz!! :prettyprincess:

Good luck Ken! Hope you get feeling better Grahame. I was on Nyquil pretty much all last week and was wiped out this weekend, but getting better now.

Happy Birthday!

Yep, still watching it. This season may be one of the best...

Congrats Dinny!

I've been listening to a loaner pair of Rev. 1s on both my Dynalo and Dynahi (SE) and really like them. No, they're not perfect, and I have very limited listening experience with electrostats, but I could live with these. I don't notice that much difference between the Dynalo and Dynahi, but the Dynahi is still kinda breadboarded and isn't using the TKD pot I have for it.

Happy Birthday Jim! Hope you have a great one! Don't spend too much time at that bar of yours...

Happy Birthday!

Glad to hear that Claire is doing well Al, Also, for your turntable shelf, you need one of these:
