No, he sold the esoteric. If he got the Northstar he'd still need a transport.

There's a Wadia25 on Agon right now, come on, take the plunge!

Ouch, Jay might be fanatical in his love the K340s but he's no Patrick.

I hope someone drops the hammer on Larocco, it sucks that Phil's name is getting basically trashed by someone that he no longer has any affiliation with.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the Northstar single-ended only? I think both your vaporware Singlepower and Beta are going to be single-ended so maybe that makes perfect sense and won't have you itching to go balanced...

You f'ing scam artist!

Yeah, I totally hose people on the deals I give them.

Please tell me you posted feedback for this douche on Head-Fi. I've heard horror stories about reviewers holding gear hostage until a man'f agreed to sell it at a discount but damn, straight up selling the product before you even review is bullshit.

Nice to see someone recognized the way I phrased the question. Is it 5 yet?

Yup, it'll do the job as well as any other 9V portable. You might have a look around for a 2x9V portable PIMETA if you can find one and actually I might have something at home that would work for you cheap. Shoot me a PM if interested.

What's someone else up to this weekend?

Hopefully in the next couple of months I'll get some custom molds made for my ER4P's and let you know how they sound. Granted, that's probably not really what you're looking for but dropping $1000 on closed cans that would then make you spend more money on another amp seems like more lunacy than I'd be comfortable with.

Have you ever gotten to audition them Haj? Seems like a pretty big risk if you haven't, I'd let your K1k rig pan out at least through the beta22, maybe that'll be good enough?

I really like pbase, seems pretty reasonable to me and offers unlimited linking/bandwidth as far as I know. I can't remember the name of the other one that a lot of the photogs that I know use, if I remember it I'll post again.

A quick Google only turned up two sellers in the US, one for $1699ish and the other was $1800.

I believe the question was WTF? Play by the rules! What is best in life?

30 Gig Gen1 Zune from woot. For $99 it seemed like a good deal for a player to even temporarily replace my Ipod. And don't worry Dusty, it's all black.

How much is too much?

boomana's forum?

In all seriousness a few comments: I can imagine that they'd be wicked fussy to get setup right given that no two heads are the same. Battery powered, no thanks! I think I read that you can use them sans battery but I wonder how that amplification is bypassed once you take the batts out. Pretty lofty entry price.

No thanks?

No F'ING way. So begins the era of Nate finally finishing a bunch of stuff that he's been putting off. I've got around 100' of cabling to build that's long overdue and I wanted it to look nice and last, so I ordered the good stuff. No more techflex for me, no more worrying about colors, as Dusty would say the only color worth using is black.

Well, they've cooked 4 of his posts so far so my guess is the ban stick can't be far behind. Let him argue, I think I can handle his wit and charm. Nobody messes with the head-case crew. On topic, there is no single, comprehensive source for tube and hybrid amps for the simple reason that there are so many variations between different amps that it would be impossible. If you'd like information about the amp you think you're getting why not just tell us what it is and see if we can help?
