probably is measuring the voltage stator to stator, so a 450V power supply here's the voltages that the electrostatic amps run on (that i know of): 450V: Egmont? 600V: HEV90, Aristaeus, Gilmore All-Triode (Woo GES) 700V (+/- 350): 717, 007t, KGSS 800V (+/- 400V): Blue Hawaii, ES-1?

What amp runs on 900v?

I'm expecting another n_maher cable this week I think Nate will forgo his senior year of Cable College and turn pro next year

That's not true, the lowest I ever saw them in Japan was the equivalent of about $1350

$1200, or $1500 if it's the export black one

You can get the junction to case C/W in the datasheet, then add in the C/W for your mounting components. I try to keep all measured heatsink temps at 60C or below, 50C or below if it's exposed

I asked for a FR graph of the new Omega II but they said it's not available

The Alps Rk50 is great...but has anyone ever seen a commercial product that uses it? Besides HeadRoom offering it as an option...it's been around for a while and ive never seen it except for a handful of crazy DIYers. There must be some big customer for them

The iPod (4th gen) is -10dB @ 20Hz with iBuds, which i think are 32 ohms. It's probably worse now

I immediately installed FireFox once I got a Mac, since I've used it for years on PC. It seems to crash at least once a day, especially opening pages with embedded videos I'll go to Safari if there's add-ons that let me do gestures to open links in new tabs (foreground or background), and also saves tabs when closing/crashing. Does it offer these features?

Because I couldn't afford to buy balanced attenuators directly from DACT, and nobody stocked them for DIYers

I think I hit the Lego peak when it was Town/Space/Pirates/Castle. Which were all 4 types of civilizations in the universe. Then it got a little weird and they started adding things like people who live in the ocean, and then came the Space: Brought to you by Star Wars stuff

I remember Legos before they sold out to sponsors

You're on a special secret list and I'm going to try and get it done next week

I do have a system up now that allows people to enter their order #, and a password, and see the status of their order. However, right now that's only for paid orders. I haven't decided if I'm going to enter pre-orders on it too.

But then billy would spam it with fake orders...so i'd have to take some money, which I don't want to do.

why not? i'll try to do it this weekend

Would dealers, as a business, be exempt from paying the sales tax? That's how it works here

postjack, from now on, just use this:

Including the asynchronous resampling circuit, oscillator, DC/DC converter, voltage regulators & filtering, output stage for the DAC, i have around $35 in components surrounding the $5 DAC chip. None of these things are being mentioned. "Same DAC chip" is really simplifying things too much. It is not an "all-in-one" type chip where you just apply power and go. If it were that simple, I could side-step to a different $5 chip and end the comparisons, which is exactly what iBasso did but for other reasons. I'm trying to figure out if it's a good thing that iBasso wants to draw this comparison instead of against other DAC/Amp units.

Good audio transformers are very expensive, it would be cheaper to make a good amp than a good transformer box

he went black

It should be the same.

You should get a set of TO Bands to go with that (really)

what thread?
