I can't even officially tell you who to thank - it wasn't entirely my doing is all I will say.

I would have to agree that finding someone willing to work on any of these amps is going to be a difficult road. It's not just the complexity of the repairs (even on the "simpler" models) it's the liability associated with doing so that may have even good-hearted folks heading for the hills.

I don't have any idea what you're talking about.

Got link?

But it also means they can puncture solder mask in the blink of an eye.

Happy Birthday Greg!

I think amb attempted to explain what's going on in the head-fi beta thread.

I like cats, unfortunately I am allergic to cats. My wife is also allergic to cats. This is mooch, the only cat I ever had. He came with the house when we bought it and was exclusively an outdoor cat. But he'd stop by every night at 6:00 and meow outside the door till I came out and sat with him for a bit. Unfortunately the environment around the house is not exactly cat friendly and mooch is no longer with us.

In some of the discussions that amb and I have had regarding the failures that have been observed at times it has been suggested that it might not be a bad idea to have a Zobel on the output regardless of the intended use.

I have those as well but I prefer to use these whenever possible. Those long fluke probes are hellaciously sharp

Goddamn. Entire New 13-Story Building Tips Over in Shanghai

With all due respect to Kingwa I disagree that having to replace the entire transformer in the event of a fuse failure is the "best way". Especially when that replacement trafo is half way around the world.

Given that Headroom's measurements match up pretty well with other man'f impedance claims it seems reasonable to think that they are measuring "actual impedance". I'll shoot Tyll a message pointing him to this thread to see if he can clear the (free) air.

Maybe, I can see anything leading from the live wire to the front panel, maybe there's protection built in that isn't obvious? I certainly hope so.

I think it should just be an animation that activates when you move the ipod/phone and shows a shovel swinging at the back of someone's head and makes the appropriate clank on impact.

GTFO Happy birthday!

No fuse = Not even Mikhail was that dumb.

I'd be curious to see how other headphones of known impedances measured on Stereophile's rig.

I'm pretty sure the 360 will also play *.mov or *.wmv files which can be pretty handy. It's not as good or as capable as the PS3 in this regard but I got my brother in law's to do it.

I just think that it's nice of them to keep charging for OS upgrades and to keep raising the price as they do. I've bitched before and I'll keep doing it, I feel like a second class Ipod citizen.

Awesome - Apple just told me that if I want to get the most out of my Ipod Touch I should shell out $9.95 for OS 3.0.

Did I miss something? What happened to your TV?
