Sorry, I was in the car for 3-1/2hrs this morning and my funny is fried. Although the HF-1 keyboard cat edition is doing a lot to get the funny back going. And in short order I'll have access to a pair of F1's so I'll try to take a side by side picture of the two cups for comparison.

I'm sorry, I don't understand. The cable is the same on both versions.

Roger that.

Bah, I like mine better.

Thanks Dinny (and others). The cables are the usual drab stuff, nothing really fun in there. But as the stain and tung oil seasons and fully dries I am liking the rack more and more. It's a pity that I only use it for meets. Still for ~$50 and a couple hours of labor it's worth it to have around and I'd highly recommend it. I thought you might get a kick out of that and as you'll notice the RCAs are finally installed. Wiring is underway.

This is kind of a combo post, basically a few cables I'm working on featured on the rack I finished staining this weekend and there's a little something hiding on the middle shelf as well.

Maybe try something like this? 100% Cotton Drawstring Muslin Bags - 13 cents - Made in USA - Wholesale Prices

No. There were 25 pairs at CanJam (1-25) and Todd has #00. Those are the 26 pairs that read "FI" as far as I know. No one who ordered and had their pair shipped is getting anything other than F1.

What, you didn't see the FS add on Head-F1? And crap, the domain head-f1.org is already taken.

I believe the second part is true, they have the enclosures but there's no way they have them all done yet. So they are indeed deciding that the lesser of two evils is shove one of the misspelled cups up each buyers ass and see whether or not they'll take it. Airfare to CanJam: $300 Picking up arguably the best bang/buck Grado while there: $429 Having one of 26 pairs that actually are done the way they were supposed to be done and not one of the 475 other F1 pairs: priceless This really makes me want to woody them and take a picture of my blurry, FI cups sitting in a drawer.

Sounds to me like you belong here just fine. Also, I think that with just a little practice you could learn the basics of reading a schematic. If I can, any one can.

Can't wait to see pics of the ZDT, congrats!

Les, Which type/size did you order? Seems that guy has a bunch of different kinds of sleeving some of which is just regular old techflex.

Suck it up soldier.

Thanks, I found a sample that I'll give a spin shortly.

Impressions?

Why do I get the feeling that you're not telling us something...

Just for that I'm going to sticky this for a week. Happy Birthday Mike!

Oh it's way too late for that, the trafos should arrive before the end of the week. It's whether or not I make another purchase before then... MOAR PARTS!!!

I decided it was about time that I tried the SimpleSE as a headphone amp. Other than a slightly hissy tube in the L channel the noise floor was pretty freakin low and it sounded sweet driving the HF-1s. I smell trouble...

Just for you Dinny I did a second coat this morning. I'm not 100% psyched with how it came out, but given that it's veneer plywood I have no intentions of trying to remove it and have a second go. With that in mind I applied a coat of tung-oil based finish this afternoon.

Wuhoo! Glad you got your amp back Dan.
