Or could you could make a dual-tailed adapter w/ both 1/4 and 1/8 plug options.

I think the best solution is to just have two 4-pin adapters (one to 1/8, one to quarter) rather than use an adapter on an adapter. I mean really, how often would you use something like this anyway?

You might if you were hoping it wouldn't burn your house down. oh snap!

I can't say that I've ever seen one for DIY use. What's the application? Perhaps there is a better solution?

MILSPEC???

Probably, I'm easily confused these days.

Not sure if anyone is looking but this seems like a decent deal. STAX SR-007 Omega-II Electrostatic Headphones - Used - - eBay (item 220254406289 end time Jul-17-08 02:15:04 PDT)

Depending on how it breaks down it might actually be better to have the boards sent to someone in the US who could then send you your set and forward along the others saving an unnecessary trans-Atlantic trip. Just a thought.

Bah! As if I coined the functional look. Nice work Vincent.

Nah, you're in the highly-coveted OG category.

What I wouldn't give to be dreamy right now.

Blame it on the language barrier Dusty

Oh, a wise guy eh? I sent you a Duet cable once, and you promptly broke it! It's been repaired and upgraded and should be departing shortly. Indra, glad to hear that you're happy with the cable.

Not really, no. I'd have to sell a lot more duet cables (or better put, charge for them) to justify it.

I vote for tacos.

I wonder about the wisdom of making assumptions that lead to more assumptions.

You must haz speakerz.

I set a reminder in my calendar for this months ago and was pleased to see it this morning. Thursday night should be fun!

Leftover chicken parm, yum.

All the vendors that I use double test their tubes before shipment and offer some meaningful DOA warranty. Of course, I also test all my own tubes prior to use as well.

I'm sure there are examples of when it's worth paying for and worthwhile in general but I think the basic idea is that unless the vendor is working closely with the buyer and the buyer is also knowledgeable that more often than not it's wasted $$.

It's funny you'd say that, I've had more than one tube vendor tell me not to bother matching tubes because of the inherent non-linear behavior and the fact that they would be matching them at vastly different operating points compared to my application.

It's my understanding that it's highly unlikely that a tube tester is testing the tubes at the same voltage levels experienced while the tube is in use.

Try this link if you want to read the article that Reks linked to. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/30/nyregion/30bodies.html?scp=9&sq=bodies&st=cse and if that doesn't work try logging into the Times site with: username: mrfixit5 password: mrfixit And Reks, that does make me feel quite a bit different about the exhibit as well.
