Dr. Gilmore, you'll try very interesting things with soekris modules, I'm sure about that. And the dac you approved, Holo Spring also have dsd support. So, If that hibiki module with cmos switches can be better than others for PCM only, maybe "Old minded" ones, including me, can do things with it. Also Dr. Gilmore, I posted before, but, what do you think about this dac: It's price is 3k Dollars. OP has it's link. Internals look extremely neat I'm really trying hard to not to buy it.

Damn you, are you just pushing me to solder a cable to electrostatic hp? I sense evil here... Kidding, sirs. Thanks for encouraging, really. I'm extremely busy with work, and It's going to be like that at least 3-4 months and have no room for soldering table in hotel room which I'm going to stay in for 3-4 months. I'll ask for your consultance when I ready the conditions.

That is the smartest thing to do indeed, sir. But I bet the guy is already screening what we're planning. I was being sarcastic sir. My 207's cables are just fine But really thanks for quick guide. And I guess you need a dust free room to open one up. And I do not have one. My hotel room is filled with dusts, that I've to knock the door before I enter in. But, even If I have the soldering skill that enough to work on it. I'd not dare to solder anything that close to diaphragm of the E-stats.

"I’m not an electrical engineer nor do I have any experience with Stax, but I understand how they’re assembled from photos that I studied (ants in my Stax thread) and I have the best tools money can buy and am used to recabling headphones." This is the best part of the story for me. according to his way of thinking, anyone read the whole stax thread on HC should be capable of making their own Electrostatic headphones, amps, dacs, maybe some pastry, things made of wood, granite... I feel bad now, cuz I've read whole thread but I can't even rewire my own electrostatic headphone. Am I just stupid Sirs?

Shit, Birgir bought the soekris modules on sale? Interesting things are going to happen indeed. But I'm also wondering about how is hibiki (can be seen here) module compared to soekris module?

You are not alone my good sir. I prefer 44.1/16 PCM but the things Dr. Gilmore told are quite interesting. I'd like to try the ideas when i got a capable dac. Did you even answer to him, Birgir? Why the fuck he wants especially LITZ silver for 009? Why the fuck he even wants recable them? Too many stupid questions have been inserted my brain, I doubt if I can sleep now.

You crack me up sir.

This: Thanks @Aura for waking me up again. Album is great so far, dark sounding, as it should be. And this album has the most relaxed upper mid range and treble record/mastering in the whole discography of them.

Damn... I can eat literally everything as long as it is tasty but dog or squirrel, I prefer to be a cannibal.

Today I decided to eat something fancy, Külbastı (A Turkish cuisine dish): It's basicly chicken breast fillet, marinated with special spices and cooked on special grill. As you can see, it was served with grilled tomatoes, green pepper, rice, acılı ezme (spicy paste) and a mezze I do not know. Since I cannot cook in my room, I'm discovering all nearby (Taksim, Harbiye, Beşiktaş, Nişantaşı etc.) places for food. So when you come to Istanbul, you'll know where to eat cheap and delicious or high performance/price ratio dishes.

F..ing hell... I can't believe how this high ranking people can eat those kind of hooks.

RIP Alan Thicke A scene from HIMYM, Alan Thicke singing:

Look who I found at my hotel: That good creature is really kind and helpful to me. The other is the owner of the armchair and the whole street. And pretty badass.

Heck! You are not helping me sir! I'm downloading it with shitty hotel Wireless... And me have to sleep in half an hour to get 6-7 hours sleep before work, have to being at work till tomorrow 6pm makes things worse. Not that I have a bad job, I have a great one, but... I'm petting myself and keep saying "patience, child" to myself now.

Thanks for letting me know, even unintentionally. I'm buying and downloading the album. And I cannot agree more what you said about listening to them.

Huge adana dürüm (wrap), acılı ezme, turşu and as Tayyip command "drink ayran instead of rakı", Ayran All they are just for 10 TL. FFS, It was so delicious, I do not even care what kind of meat they used, or even they used meat.

This. Heck... Tyll has more beard than I do now.

Damn Yankees - Don't Tread Fucking good old school (hard) rock!

RIP Pongo. Condolences...

I met with Tyler Abi today, we went to brunch. Was really funny day. He is a great, funny guy. I'm glad again, I joined HC.

If I have to fucking find DSD for all my favorite albums just to hear better sound from the same DAC what the fuck is the point spending 20k on a shit? And most of the people (bullshitters or realistic people) agrees on DSD sounds better than PCM already, so what the fuck GG does specially? Every fucking DSD decoding capable DACs sound better with DSD. I love 44.1/16 from my modest dac, it sounds pretty good with these files. So enlight me please. You said you've heard 11 different R2R dacs, obviously you got experience, Just answer me if you don't mind: Is it the logic: spending shitload of money on something that does mediocre job; well below it's price, working your ass off to make it sound better than average or just follow snakeoil strains, and just be happy with the bullshit?

I settled completely in my room Today. Residance's owners are really good people, last week I said that I need bigger room for my table, and they arranged one for me. Here is the a part of my room: Btw as a welcome, two bombs has been detonated in Beşiktaş, 2,5 kms away from my residance... 20 people has been wounded.

Luckily I grew up with Hanna&Barbera Cartoons. Thank you Sir, I'm aware my English isn't that good, but even if it was, I tend to think "not enough" all the time. Cuz when you start to think you reach the top, the path of improving yourself ends, and path of ignorance starts. All corrected now, thank you sir.

I understand now, sorry Thanks for humorous heads up. All of them are corrected.
