Well done! Don't forget to register at Head-Fi too.

You have chosen poorly.

The sound might change, to be sure, but a blacker background and lower noise floor? That seems more than just a little unlikely since you have to have a pretty spectacularly shitty amp to have a noise floor with the 650s to begin with.

It is highly unlikely that you'll find what you're after. Balanced DAC's, by default, tend to have a hot output. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the voltage divider approach.

Happy Birthday!

I can't see how lacquer would affect a plinth. In an instrument you're counting on the wood to be a part of the equation, in a plinth you're using the mass to not vibrate. Two very different applications one in which I see the finish as an active player (instrument) and one in which I can't see a way it which it'd make a difference. That's my 2c.

Happy Birthday Kevin!

I'm going to go ahead and give you 24hrs to ponder that remark.

Uhhhh, I'm only aware of one that does and it's safe to say that I'll never be able to afford it.

Would it be bad form to show my back up tester?

Indeed, when I bought it (about 2 years ago) it had just been serviced and calibrated. I've also got both the original and a very extensive aftermarket manual for it. I've got my eye on a couple of things and if they pan out I'll let head-case know first.

She is a sexy bitch and one day might be yours...

I'm working on something on that front Jack, if it pans out I may have a deal for you...

That was fantastic.

Shall I expect them shortly thereafter?

I believe the chassis comes apart as you describe, just two front, two rear screws. Everything is generally mounted to the top panel.

Based on the already charred power supply I'd suggest this amp could use a little less 11 for the time being.

Or you could just use the stock transformer for now.

It'd be a better idea to just drill a hole in the top cover of the case. It's a trafo enclosure, who gives a poo if it has a hole in the top?

Unless you have a balanced M

Sure, I don't see why not. Might have to have me buy them for you as some companies use your billing address to determine sales tax applicability.

Yup, I have some copper solder that looks the same way when the joint cools. I'm tempted to blame the switch but the fact is that there may be nothing really wrong. A call or email to Goldpoint might be worthwhile.
