Nah, before I did that I'd just build a custom enclosure for an SB-3 coupled with the Hertsens DAC plus another sigma11 for the SB. Don't think the thought hasn't crossed my mind to build a Transporter killer. For now this stack does just fine.

At a minimum of 2.5x the price I'm not sure even I could justify it but I was just talking last night about doing something stupid so...

I've given this a fair amount of thought and having spent devices that did not offer as complete a hierarchical setup the browsing is actually more complex and cumbersome on the "simpler" device.

You should feel pretty free to post whatever the hell you want. If someone takes issue with it I'm sure they'll let you know.

doooood, you posted pics so i assumed it was yours or at least similar. [img width=135 height=150 alt=asshatdonkey]http://www.head-case.org/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=344&g2_serialNumber=2&g2_GALLERYSID=a3e86fa09d4c299025457a365a38f845

I don't follow Stax stuff regularly but I thought I remembered reading about some problems with the initial batches, there were posts about it here too but I'm too lazy to go looking. Apologies if I'm spreading rumors.

If I were you I'd ditch that stupid fraken locking phono jack. Man I hate those things...

Oh my! I'll be curious to hear your impressions given the mixed reviews they seem to be getting over at HF.

MINI MEET, MINI MEET, MINI MEET, MINI MEET!!!

Thanks for figuring out the formula!

That's friggen hilarious!

Wuhoo, more snow Sunday! Sunday: Snow. Sleet in the afternoon. Additional heavy snow accumulation possible. Brisk with highs in the mid 20s. Northeast winds 10 to 20 mph, increasing to 20 to 25 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation near 100 percent. Sunday night: Mostly cloudy. Snow likely in the evening. Areas of blowing snow after midnight. Heavy snow accumulation possible. Brisk with lows around 20. North winds 20 to 25 mph, becoming northwest after midnight. Chance of snow 70 percent.

Thanks, and yeah I lack skillz.

MOD POWER ABUSE - JBL and mjg can now commence their bitching here.

Very cool indeed!

Cool, I've got a fine selection of metric and standard hex wrenches.

Cool, any reported results would be great. And the only thing I was hoping to find out via the picture is whether or not a security bit is needed. I have the necessary Torx bits already, but they're standard types and don't have the center hole usually associated with a security style fastener.

If your camera has a macro mode it might. It is often represented by the graphical symbol of a flower, like this:

Could you snap a quick picture of one of the fasteners?

Yes, I think it's offensive that we, the people, paid this asshat a minimum of $165,200 last year to tell me that Christmas is good.

I couldn't decide if this was a DIY thing or not, but I'm going to post this here since it also involves tube-configuration questions and most folks might not read a DIY thread. So my lawyer has purchased an MPX3 that includes the 5687 adapters. As a part of my yearly retainer I will be attempting to add preamp outputs to this amp. The question came up during negotiations as to what the best tube combo would be given that this device will be much more preamp than headphone amp. So what say you, masters of the SP domain? Also, can anyone come up with a plausible reason that I can't just tap the headphone output for the preamp output? I've read other SP modding threads saying that this is all Mikhail does and that certainly sounds easy enough. Thanks in advance. Nate

Because in a world where there is plenty of shit to do this strikes me as a colossal fucking waste of time and resources.

What a waste of time...
