Good call. Thanks!

Needing something small-ish that had some sort of digital output. USB is fine. I'd like to send the output to a DAC as well as have some kind of internet connectivity. For starters, I'm not a big apple fan, but am willing to give it a try if it's far away the best source. I'd probably bring it to work and rock out there, then bring it home for moving tunes on to it if need be. 3G not necessary, wifi would be fine. I'd be keen onand Android tablets, but Google continues to skip implementing USB host mode. That is, USB host mode without some damn cable hack. Comments? Suggestions? OK. Thanks! Brian

I never went back and listened to the RS-1i. Better? Worse?

I'll admit to wanting my RS-2i's back even though I returned them and nothing was wrong but my owns stupidity. I was using my old(er) CKKIII, listening to punchy David Bowie and wearing bell bottoms.

New tubes for my Bijou build this Fall. Just need the case, some front panel bits, maybe some wire andabuchofothercrapiforgottobuy. If the 6922s are not in use at the time, they'll be in the Bottlehead Seduction. One of the tubes from that set (Amperex Bugle Boy 6DJ8) has developed some rush in recent months.

Happy Birthday, Torps! Hope it's a good one!

Al, my condolences to you and your family. Thank you for sharing it here with your virtual family. I think we all have family members who mean more to us than others, and it's clear your mother was very special to you. I know the days now are long and difficult. I can only hope that some day in the future you can truly reflect back on happier times and remember the really good stuff without the clouds that are likely there now. Best regards to you, Al.

This is good info for me. Thanks Monkey. I'm currently stressin over the differences. Saw the VT and GT yesterday. But they were in completely different parts of the store I was at, so it was pretty difficult to see differences. That didn't help. (Well, that and the over-egoed salesman. His name should have been Dick.) This tv will be in our living room, but not really there for movies and such. It looks like the VT is really hotrodded for movie playback with all top-end features, "cinematic playback", "infinite black", etc. So maybe the GT will be where I land.

Gregg Allman - Low Country Blues. Yow. Produced by T Bone Burnett. Damn fine.

Well, I'm no expert. That's why I ask here. I'll still A/B the suggestions, but I like to have a general path to follow. In the end, it's still a $150 CD player so experimentation is just experiementation.

File my answer under "I wish" or "Hell, no"! Good point. I don't think a typical DMM would fit that classification. OK. I'll leave them in, then. Thanks.

Quick question: If I get the audio portions of the circuit off of the PW board, do I still need the ferrites? Doesn't seem like it would hurt anything, but I'm just curious. Thanks!

Ah. Sweet. Thanks, guys! That makes sense since the photo is of the corner of the power supply board (and the audio circuit runs along side the power supply.)

Any guess what parts L901 and L902 are? Measured, they don't seem to be...anything. They are on the output path to the RCAs on the back panel. I assume they are some kind of output cap. Guesses?

I saw the 65" VT30 this weekend. Pretty amazing.

Jeff, your daughter is hot.

Triple Sec is triple dreck. No comparison to the wonder of Cointreau. As for tequila, try Patron Silver if you run out of your current purchase.

That shouldn't even remotely be necessary. Sneaky. Interesting. Wonder why they just let this info out. I like it, though. Makes me want a pair "more today than yesterday."

I clearly work at the wrong company.

I'm not seeing a lot of praise for the OPA2134, but am seeing some good things about the OPA627/637. As for the AD8620, reviews seems to be the same as they were before: rather clean sound, and can be too steril with the wrong associated circuit. I may just solder in a few sockets and roll these until the rest of the changes are made. Additionally, it doesn't look like these are biased to Class A, but I'll have to poke around at the traces to figure that out. I'm doubting it, though. Opamp preferences, anyone?

So they should be worn like K-1000s, then?
