Hooverphonic - The President of the LSD Golf Club I'm a pretty big Hoover fan and had never heard of this, their last studio album before Geike Arnaert left the band in '08. It's interesting and seems like quite the departure from their normal style, but so far in a good way. Pity this was never released in the US, I'm simply not shelling out $60-$100 for it.

Happy Birthday!

I'll rummage through the bin this weekend and see what I've got, I think I might have a little something.

Ooops, my toothache just caused me to drop a certain project.

Eff all of you. I had a filling done during lunch so I haven't eaten since breakfast and this thread is killing me.

Yes. It is quite possibly my favorite new show.

What do you figure is the max reasonable diameter for the knob?

We might have to do something about that knob though, I've got a few bits "laying around" that might be suitable.

Jesus F, Mark, that is gorgeous.

I used to be a song listener but I've become more and more of an album listener. Even when listening to exclusively PC based audio I still cue up a whole album and sometimes even an entire artist's library. As far as DAC's go (and other equipment for that matter) I seem to be trending vintage rather than bleeding edge. My soldering rig now contains nothing built within the last decade.

My link was to the forums/index.php? page, but the root .org address does indeed show a HD800 for me. My guess is that Senn is one of the early adopters/sponsors so they get top billing. Too bad Justin couldn't get the Meier Audio Gilmore Lite picture there.

I almost always run 12KF6s.

There isn't one on mine.

Bwaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaha.

Resistance of the individual channels is hardly a good measure of matching since that resistance is simply used as a voltage divider so the two wipers could be wildly different and still well matched. A better way to check and see if it's in the pot is to feed the amp a 1kHz wave and measure v-in and v-out at the pot. You can use your laptop as a signal generator for this purpose and get much better and easily interpreted results. And lest anyone think I was smart enough to come up with this on my own, Justin is the one who suggested it to me when I was fighting a similar problem on a different amp.

Captain Lazy, please do a bit of reading. kthxbye

You know the drill, pics or ban.

The comments section is funnier than the add. # bunny194 i understand what the commercial is for but i dont understand why a beaver is used. Can someone explain, please?

I'm sorry, I simply can't help myself. This add makes me laugh my ass off every time I see it. YouTube - Apology. U by Kotex

Any idea what the line voltage was during those tests? Would have been fun to have the supply hooked up to a variac to see if it was simply getting too little ACin to regulate or if it was regulated to the wrong voltage. Also, any idea what the USB spec actually requires? Maybe 4.3VDC is really ok?

My concern would be how to check the output of the USB power thing and make sure it's acceptably regulated?

Mike, from what I've heard OS 4.0 isn't coming to the iPad until the fall so it's going to be a while before you get multitasking.

With a recommendation like that how could I not track it down. Listening to this now, liking it a lot. Thanks Boo.
