mighty respectable of you. we're on the same page then

wait, none of those are options on the order page?!

I'm not sure how this would be given the schematic and the M-M-M-MASSIVE upgrade from Wima to Auricaps ... but hey, whatever floats your boat / empties your wallet.

I had a GES for a while at my house and totally agree about the lack of slam. I'm just not sure you're going to get it out of that amp. I think Naaman's HeAudio cans were a better match for this amp, and probably a more euphonic but synergistic combo. I enjoy the KGSS with the mkI but realize why people prefer the BH, and honestly is wasn't until I heard this combo that I had anything to gripe about the KGSS.

I drove a pair of MMGs and 12's with a early 90's Marantz stereo power amplifier that sure as hell wasn't 2 ohm stable (I learned this later when using this amp to learn how to do load testing). It was actually a sweet setup, and I realized at some point that I still had that amp laying and tried using it to power a Stax transformer and it worked beautifully.

slant rhyme and "private meets".. excellent thread!

Well, now I know what PPP and PSE means

I wish I could find the post here... anyways, I was shocked to see the cases myself. To ward of the inevitable question of cost, I don't remember, but contact the seller on that page. The Woo cases are pretty much top notch in my book, very well built.

hum.. ok.. BTW, interesting looking amp here: [url=http://6moons.com/audioreviews/westernreserve/westernreserve.html]6moons audioreviews: Western Reserve Audio Design WRAD

I feel that I should report these posts as spam.. I mean, look at this guys past posts...

I'm not sure who questioned this, but look at this for sale ad: diyAudio Forums - Tube amp case - Page 1 Also, I saw the same chassis for sale in China, but didn't take any pics ...

do you have the Amphenol part number?

does anyone happen to know where one can get an official drawing of the Stax plug and socket? Or, if the Amphenol stuff is indeed an exact fit, is there a technical drawing of these part numbers?

yeah, but it's the covert styrofoam cups that masquerade as cable elevators that are the tough ones to spot.

usually an experienced tech can move the tone to a quarter-pitch, but I agree, why bother, who needs to play Tzigane or Vieuxtemps anyways...

stocked up on some tweaks for my turntable: Elemental Voice Hi-Fi Products

some people grind down the f-holes a bit to do the same thing... oh, stop the violence !!

probably due to the comparatively poor channel separation of vinyl...

what's his Ebay username?

Steve: I believe he will sell the tape separately, or at least provides a link to where it can be bought...

Dan: go buy a cheap long distance pre-paid calling card and use that

or just say a 50v offset with 400v rails is "acceptable" .. that's only like 10%, right?

I was misquoting Nate slightly, I think he would agree matched tubes are desirable, but hard to match unless you have the exact circuit to match the tubes in...

what, you listened to Nate? I keed, I keeed..... ok, better hide.

Colin: I have more of those itsy-bitsy black heat sinks available, just let me know how many you'd like.
