I guess Birgir partly answered it: v Made a correction.

For I have not enough info about technicalities and making an electrostatic amplifier, so I'm asking to you directly: Are you planning build some for selling Birgir? Forgive me for my ignorance and straightforwardness.

I really do not know what you people think about sharing private messages to public, but, no matter what, It is wrong for me. Even if it's about someone does not makes any sense. And tbh I and most probably anyone else don't need some proof for his ignorance and arrogance.

I was looking at Umut's pictures and I found these pics: I found him on the walk side, It was winter and pretty cold, he got deep teeth marks on his chest and I took him home to cure his wounds. Umut, when I brought him home: Umut, after few months (like before/after pictures): And him, sleeping like hoomans: My familiy started to love cats with him and started to care street animals. Moral of the story: Never judge street animals by their looks.

You are most welcome sir. I use same nickname. Also soon I'm moving to İstanbul for work. I'm working for a distributor of well known headphone manufacturer. If you want to visit, you are most welcome at there too. We have pretty interesting place for demoing.

Yes my good sir, I'm also an active member of a Turkish Forum; Techno-fi. I went couple of meetings and also hosted couple of mini mettings. I cannot listen to gear as loud as most people, not even 1 song. I'm listening to My egmont at 9-10 o'clock with my sr-207 (Dac's output is 2,8V). Once I entertain a guy, who listened srs-2170 system at 3-4 o'clock. I've never been WTFed that hard before. When I'm about to experience new gear, I put amp's pot to minimum, then I roll it to a comfortable level. Yes, I go loud for a one passage of a song for reviewing (to see how the gear reacts) but listening to them at more than 80-90ish dB, naah. Well if he has hearing problems, then that situation may be normal(?), I guess. But isn't listening that loud worsen the problem?

Deleted and merged into another post.

I have 3 things to say: 1st: I really do not understand why people listen that loud. Even with my 252s I couldnt go further than 10-11 o'clock. I mean shit. Driving T2 into clipping... 2nd: I was admiring you guys, Today I admire you more. I couldn't stand against astro or his bs after 2-3 posts, I stop posting against his posts yesterday, He is really tiring. You are really good. So: 3rd: I feel guilty/ashamed now for I own a dac with tube (2c51 variants) buffer; MHDT Lab Atlantis. IMHO, It sounds good to my ears but. If you want to see inside of it: It uses one Ad1862 per channel as i know, Dr. Gilmore. It sounds pretty analog, but tad bit forward sounding. I paid 860 Dollars for it, including shipping. I bought it cuz of curiosity, as always. It turned out good sounding one. Here is a closer look to the dac chips: PS: This post has no sarcasm.

I was collecting books on electronics, how electricty, especially electrostatic, works etc. Mainly old university lecture books... I bought a book recently. I thought it was just an old lecture book. But turns out it is a extremely rare book published in 1939, and only 2000 coppies printed. And mines condition is really good for its age. It was written by Prof. Dr. Georges Bruhat and translated from French to Turkish (well ottoman language; some kind of blend with Turkish, Arabic and Farsi) It has good basic info about electricty. Hard to understand cuz of its language, but still...

The problem isn't how much time has passed since you joined, the problem is how effectively you used that time. As I know Mr. Tyll is respected member of HC. Just FYI. And at least read the review before comment on it.

What makes you think Head-Case can be considered one of the forums you've been part of? (I've made a similar mistake before, I strongly suggest not to do.) Let me make things tad bit easy for you, here is the welcome message:

Do you accept preorders Dr. Gilmore?

Yes Dusty, I meant that. I guess with my limited English somethings lost in translation. I put "(!)" for sarcasm. Following right people is something, and following people who has expensive, totl gear; based on "much spent, much experience" is something else. I know dozens of people who does not have a clue yet writing on some serious(!) websites, magazines. Placebo effect on peace of mind is really another thing. I prefer neutrik or equivalent connectors for my cables, I've never tried cheap connectors so I don't know what differs actually, that can be placebo on peace of mind. Or on my recent purchase: Egmont sounds way better than 727 and 007 if i can compare them from memory (I've never got the time or chance to make an blind a/b test). This can be just because me knowing Birgir modded it and knowing it can form a placebo effect in my mind, I completely accept that. But I highly doubt if astro follows that principle. And yes, following right people (for me they must be sceptical) can guide you to best things. If you follow people like Mike Mercer, you can't get anything useful (maybe seldomly). And from other topics he started, I highly believe, astro is following wrong people. So I'm not against "if you have money, you can buy anything that makes you happy even with no basis/use". Hell I spent shitloads of money on books for collection. I recently paid shitload of money for a book published in 1939. I should have explained my opinions better. Thanks for giving me the chance to express myself better and correcting my misunderstandable expressions Dusty, sir. Astro, Did I say I put stock on his opinion? I quoted him. And what Birgir and Dr. Gilmore do, be sure of it, not guessing. File/directory not found it says Dr. Gilmore. Thanks link is working now.

I'm talking about this. Having expensive headphones proves someone has good ear? "Seems to be knowledgeable" means having expensive gear? You say something in one sentence about yourself, and you say something completely opposite in other. Weird. Well, I wrote everything, read again if you like. and you are repeating yourself like 13th time.

Well... he falls into all of my 3 diagnosis. @astrostar59, my dear sir, F.ck squirrel, f.ck others. The problem you have is you jump into all hypes and defend them as if you trully hear. If you cannot hear the difference between two shits with blind A/B testing, nothing matters, noone's opinion matters. As I understand from your posts, I believe you are accepting experienced(!) people's opinions without experiencing yourself. Don't fool yourself any more sir. I'm not writing this to insult you, but for your good. Seriously, change the way you think/believe. If you cannot hear at all, and purchase things based on other experienced(!) people's opinions, it is wasting money for nothing.

Too... many... spoilers... Must... not... read... And curse you @TMoney !!! Westworld is terrific. I've never spend 2 hours per day on a series. Till Westworld, I've been watching 2 episodes per day.

A friend of mine listened to it at Canjam London with 009. He says it was too clinical or too netural. From his description I understand it sounds a bit soulless. And yes amp is useless w/o select dac. I believe Dr. Gilmore and Birgir criticize engineering and knowhow problems. And I believe/know without proper engineering and designing, making something sounds good is hard. And they are pointing that. Beside I totally agree with them - ofc if I can with my limited knowledge of electronics - lets consider some psychological facts: I haven't listened it. So, if it is indeed bad, then psychologicaly speaking: 1. People like how it sounds cuz MSB made it. 2. People like how it sounds cuz of its price. 3. People like how it sounds cuz proper people hyped it. So: using placebo effect, conditioning method, and anticipation method can alter what people hear. If we think about most of the potential buyers of this MSB system, noone but rich pricks that do not have ears to hear but want to brag about what they own. Considering they, most likely, don't have mind for skepticism cuz of nearly endless resources of money and lack of ears to differ what is good and what is bad, good work MSB!1!! About Egmont, The closure that covers the tubes is shitty and I'm changing it with granite from Afyon. I'm trying to make bigger holes but I broke 3 prototypes already and It is fucking hard to cut granite. But I'm working on it. And I have to admit, "marching tubes" are funny.

Thank you sir. Actually I said "f.ck natural selection" and took the little ones in my home and started vaccines.

Wow, I didn't know they killed it. I should search more before post it here. Yea it was a bit chaotic... But still... Yea I'd watch it too. I really feel sad. I started to watch Westworld btw. Very interesting story, and Ed Harris...

Greetings my good sirs, I just wanted to share a series: Vinyl The story shapes itself in 70s' New York, around a music executive: Richie Finestra. Music industry, sex, drugs and alcohol... Pretty likeable things. I really like the story and cast. Bobby Cannavale (Main Actor), Pretty talented actor, I've known him from another HBO production: Boardwalk Empire. And the cast includes: Ray Romano, Olivia Wilde, James Jagger. Creators are really impressive: Mick Jagger, Martin Scorsese!!1!!1! and Rich Cohen. First Season has been aired in early 2016. Anyway, Just check it. In worst scenario you'll lose 10-40 minutes.

After I move, I'll let you all know. You are all welcome. But ofc If you are not allergic to cats. I know some recipies that goes well with raki.

Just give him virus of being audiophile, to prevent dust he'll clean his room fine. (That is what happened to me.) Also yesterday we did the meeting I organized with some of my friends in my Hometown. It was perfect. We made BBQ in a private garden that belongs to my father's friends. Beef and chicken marinated by myself and ofc Raki!! And Another good news: For job agreement, I'm going to move to Istanbul soon. So any Head-Case members living nearby or want to visit Istanbul are also most welcome.

Thank you sir. Great news indeed. Congrats to you and your son sir. I wish he can countiune to do well in college too.

Well, thanks. If my mistake caused anything good, I'm glad. But normally I'm very carefull about not stepping into bullshit. I only completely agree with Marx on showing true colours. It is a good thing to do. Well Proudhon believe it too. Well, some people like to keep things for him/herself. But showing yourself as different person, imho, so wrong to others, and cruel to yourself. So I agree with you Dusty, sir. You sirs are really so nice to me, even me being idiot before did not prevent it. I'm not saying that for licking asses but you are also so full of knowledge on this hobby, I see all of you as teachers or big siblings. And the best thing about this Community, you can go full force on bullshit. I'm still seeing myself on a thin ice, thb. got so many things to learn.

Thank you sir.
