This thread is awesome, especially the first page. Anyways, looking for some pink headphones for my daughter. Would like decent leakage prevention (been there done that with her), but the main requirement is pink. Around $50 would be nice.

Yup! I'll be here! My wife mentioned it recently as well as a go

While its true that F&T makes Mundorf, it's not true that they are rebadged. People ave claimed this, but the measurement do not agree. Welcome to the world of contract manufacturing.

Pomona are crap compared to ez-hook and they have a HV version. Edit: maybe it's a high temp version. Regardless, they are nice.

FK

Just need a high out output stroker and 7" is plenty. In all seriousness, I think two 7 inchers or nice 10 inch is more what I need. Wait. Hm. Too late to call a do over?

Need more time to update this thread, but Steve I decided to figure a way to seal that leak and it turns out that 2 part epoxy worked very well. Now I have a small leak on the center of one of the binding posts, but it's minor. Didn't get them to paint as I want to obsess over them for the next couple weeks until we leave for Russia. The subs do hit 20 Hz. I pushed them even harder. But, I'm running into the thermal limit and power rating of the drivers earlier than I would like. They do sound very sweet. I did some measuring at can cross them over at 80 Hz -6dB with a 24dB/octave slope at the highest, which is impressive.

Why two layers of angle brackets?

Still doesn't work for me

in case there was doubt, CNC cut horns FTW

is tapatalk working for anyone else on the HC site?

Sure, both are made by Semilab.

That's likely a measurement artifact. I would probably enjoy it as is or just sell it and find something else.

By AC do you mean mains? If so, it's unlikely. If you don't mean mains and just AC, it's possible. Anything look amiss inside?

Yeah, remember you volunteered to make them for the next run

Evernote?

I'm pretty sure this is incorrect. The meter is a bias meter in the pic, not a VU meter.

Check out the L'Amp articles on DIYA for the 'sweet spot meter'.

Flew to SFO. Mixed feelings being here as I have so much stuff to be done between now and Wed, which is when I leave. Meh.

I vote balanced to single ended conversion and then back to balanced. Explains the gain and the pot.

I think there is 2004 HF thread that might explain this a bit where Kevin commented, but they have a discrete opamp design (think Burson) they use in their designs to impart that Royal Mountie sound.

Any chance this could happen a week or two later?

or what, you turn into a pumpkin? heh. that statement just struck me as funny for whatever reason just now.

I'm probably going to just wait for mouser. These are nice transistors, better than 2sa970/2sc2240 if you don't need the extra Pd. As far as I can tell, this is what Toshiba has slated for a replacement for the older devices.
