There's a book like I'd like to order, unfortunately it is only (maybe) available directly from the publisher. Anyone willing to give it a try for me? PM for more info. Thanks!

WOOT! Happy Birthday Doug!

Alas, stereo only.

Single ended or balanced as far as I can tell. Of course I have no idea what the Zout is of the preamp stage.

The free flickr option would probably work well for Ian. I'd migrate but there are so many threads that are linked to pbase that it'd be impossible to make it work well.

I hope that's cause for celebration?

Was it a true stepper or just a detented pot like some RK40s?

Recabled even!

I'm really curious to see how he prices this thing. It had to be pretty expensive to do, just in terms of the chassis since he only borrowed limited bits from the B52/Apache design. I have mixed feelings about the casework, there are parts I like and parts that I don't.

x2 on that. I fully support what the TWP guys do but there are times that I wish they would stick with a design for a little while longer and not immediately jump to the next, newerbetterfasterquicker model.

I eagerly await more details.

He's already getting a set of custom headphones right? And maybe some stats too? I'd say that plus Eagle would be the better of the two choices. I don't find the idea of giving someone a choice of gifts appealing at all.

Are you saying your unable to lower the output voltage by following those instructions? If so, I'd look into solving that problem before building the new attenuator.

The essential problem here is that balanced you're probably getting 3 to 4V out of your source and the amp's gain is effectively 4. With efficient headphones that's going to yield very little adjustment range.

Jim, Please send me a PM and I'll make sure Jay gets the message. Last I knew he was working around 80-90hrs a week and not online very often. If he owes you something I'll do what I can to make it right. Nate

Justin, I'll look tonight - I might have some.

Dinny, What's the source going to be for this thing? I've probably got a set of IC's laying around that could fall into the box with the 770s.

FIFY

Shall we re-donate the DT770s to Papa Monkey's rig? They're used but they come from a good home.

Why would they sound any different based on delivery date?

Dan, Good to know, it seemed to be that the way it was being presented in this thread that it couldn't do NAS duty.

As an alternate you can just click the box that says "Disable smileys in text". Then you can to your heart's content.

Al, If it were me I'd got NAS and not the drobo route. I hate the idea of having to have a dedicated box turned on to listen to music somewhere else in the house. I also don't like the idea of having to have my storage tethered to a machine to access it. So as I see it you have 3 options: 1. drobo or similar USB/FW RAID system. 2. pre-built NAS/RAID system (the hardcore guys like tkam will poo-poo this) 3. custom built low power consumption computer built to act as a NAS/RAID box. Personally I went with option #2 and other than some signal strength issues that I'm working on with video the audio side works pretty well.

Sweet, can't wait to try it out.
