My thoughts exactly. Maybe I just need to buy a case.

Corpse Reviver #2 Blackwoods, Cocchi, Cointreau and absinthe with a crazy monkey on the bottle. So, this concludes my fourth bottle of Cocchi Americano. The question for the sages is: should I try Lillet?

So, I have some nice shiny TO-3 transistors. I'd like to make a PCB with these as output devices and some sort of way to transfer heat via flange that I can mount to a heat sink. I have to admit I've never used this package, so I'm curious.... assuming I cannot mount the can on the fin side of the heat sink (which would require way to much milling and effort), what sort of ways are there to deal with this? Second question, and not at all related to the above... any recommendations for a relatively low voltage CCS? Let's say 60V and 3A or so as extreme parameters. Thanks!

For those that listen to classical, is there anything at all good on Turnabot, Vox and Vanguard? I'm kinda getting tired of cleaning these records and then having them turn out to be duds.

Thanks, they are very handy, that is for sure

yay! I might have a few extra PCBs laying around if anyone is interested.

Well, I have to say.. Well recorded music rocks. Listening to Takacs Beethoven Sonatas -> Krell SACD Standard -> Blue Hawaii front end -> my CCS -> Masushita EL34 tubes -> SR-007 mk1. Doesnt suck, though I really like Kempf's Beethoven.

That would yield a good number of frogs...

Norton Malbec. It's okay.

It seems that rapid fanboy lynch mobs are somewhat effective, at for example getting EBay to unlist many of Nelson Pass' projects..

Poking around for a good amaro cocktail or two for tonite. Any favs?

Is there any sort of standard connector for DSD output (specifically 3-wire, DSDR, DSDR and DSDCLK)? I'm thinking of using a 5-pin Lemo. No way I can fit a bunch of BNC connectors either.

Or Jacob's M4, depending on how involved you want the process to be..

My dad is over there right now...

5 is exactly what I was going to guess. I remember listening to the K1000 at full blast and it was just loud enough. I also remember using the F5 which has gain just less than 6 with the K1000 and thinking the same. Not at all related to this amp in any form or fashion, just wanted to have a baseline. Thanks!

Why don't you answer my question then? If we are going to have the measurement proof debate, let's have it.

Let me challenge you for a second here. Are there any commercial headphone amp companies that provide distortion numbers that are the result of measurement equipment that would be considered industry standard? How many of these companies own a AP for example? To stretch a point to make a point, I wonder how Headamp would substantiate the distortion numbers on their electrostatic amplifiers?

just for my reference, what is the gain approximately for this amplifier?

So, why haven't you posted there in 2 years? Oh, and..... (well, I cannot include a direct link, but...) http://www.diyaudio....rs/cfcubed.html

I like 5:1. That's the magic I've found. I love this one,

Link please! Takacas perhaps?

I think I've found a market for the Dorkstar. It's mil-spec, of course: http://www.google.com/patents?id=UZzxAQAAEBAJ&printsec=abstract&zoom=4#v=onepage&q&f=false

Don't worry, we have even more base and vile posts that aren't available to Google and HR departments around the world.

Yes! You can get away with a 4-pin connector on a headphone, sure.. it's the amplifier I was referring to.
