I'm sure using wood like that, can "warm" the sound, maybe tad bit more than required.

While searching info about soekris dac module (a guy from the other website, who has reputation of building most 'something' dac ever made) , I've found more interesting usage of wood: Well wood can be used in very different ways, and I really don't want to call the name of the shits on upside down pcb and caps. I'm going deeper into being offtopic but, Dr. Gilmore you mentioned kitsune dacs before, and I saw some posts on HF, a guy from kitsune asking for board designs to a guy from another MoT. Do they use that soekris module too? And what Lamp uses so "expensive boutique" shits that price differs 10k? Okey, tubes costs 1-1,5k, what about the rest? Correction: As I see kitsune does not use soekris. But still I don't understand why he asked for it.

State hospital already gave the report but It was not approved by government officals, now I checked from e-government website, It is certain: I'm not suitable for military service!!!!!1!!1! I got an "F" cuz of bipolar disorder I have! Yes I have pretty fucked up brain but, who cares!

Sorry for your losses guys. I've never offically made a dog friend but, It must be tough. Sorry for your loss too guzziguy. I can completely understand you. Rip Rugby and Gringo.

While children losing lives makes me nearly cry, the excuses of authorities push me to the boiling point. I'm considering going there myself and seeing what really happened, If I can arrange shits I have to do.

Thanks for the enlightment Sir. Much appreciated. About Metrum 1st gen d/a's dac chips. A guy from diyaudio forum claims they are Ti DAC8581 (based on being voltage out, high speed, and industrial grade I assume). Well I'm not sure about this info but here is the link of the dac chip: http://www.ti.com/product/DAC8581/description

Is it something like this sir? To change single ended to balanced? It is surely more than simple conventer adapter; ground loop eliminator, but I've never seen (never search) such a thing before. Can you forgive me for my ignorance and enlight me more please sir?

Yesterday, 12 people (eleven of them were under 12) died in dorm fire in Adana/Turkey. Cuz of fucking carelessness. The doors of fire escapes were locked due to safety reasons... FFS. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/11/29/twelve-dead-mainly-schoolgirls-turkey-dorm-fire/ I know, if I start to post death news from Turkey, I doubt if I can post that fast, my posts will swarm this topic... But still, 11 children died cuz of carelessness.

Thanks Mr. Tyler. I have some cooking skills. I fry rice in butter (real butter, not market one) for a short while, that makes rice so delicious. I can cook some traditional Turkish dishes but, I'm better at all kinds of meat, fish and kebabs (everything goes well with raki) And of course living in a small, rural town has it's own benefits. Meat, chicken, dairy producs, vegetables are all fresh and natural here. I'm going to miss that part of living here. And Mr. Tyler, I forgot to add, If you'll be avaliable, we can cook/bbq, eat and drink rakı together.

A Turkish classic: Pilav Üstü Kuru.

Holo spring is also in my "upgrade" list. Too bad Dollar/TL parity is pretty f.ked up now. I had thoughts between Menuet and this. But After Dr. Gilmore approves it, there will be no doubt. About cyber bullying him. Actually I started to feel bad too but, I was watching random It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia episodes, after seeing that scene, I started to feel sort of alright again. "Nobody loves salting the snail, but she (in this situation "he") gives you no choices."

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.
