  1. I recieved my T50RP today and spent some quality time listening to them. I have some great contact cleaner, but I'm confused about the locking cord. I can twist to unlock the cord, but I thought it would be easily detachable once unlocked so that I could clean the contact there. Mine isn't so. EDIT: I took some pliers to it and got it. I know, if you have to force it, your probably not doing it right, but it had it coming.
  2. First snow to stick to the ground about to be here on the East coast. I can't complain, this area is crybaby about snow, everything closes down at the hint. I get a day off of work tomorrow and know how to drive my 4x4 around, so I'm pretty psyched.
  3. My labs had lockers to keep projects in, but was a large engineering school. Sure I don't have to say this, but whoever complained is a little bitch BTW. I hate that.
  4. Thanks, its been ordered.
  5. DEW ET! I don't think you would have much trouble. The Buffalo module is a snap, its only two leds and four standoffs, it doesn't get any easier. The power supply modules are also super easy to follow and as long as you work your way up populating the board by the height of each component, should also not be very intimidating. Their are two little SMD choke/inductors on each of those, but they are super easy if you just tin them and the pads and then heat the pads while you hold them down in place with tweezers (easier then it sounds even). The only challenge you might have would be the IVY which has much more components to populate the module with, but I would suggest you try it. If your too scared, you could also spend the money you would have spent on someone else doing it for you on a pre-assembled Zapfilter from parts connexion and not buy the second transformer, LCBPS, or IVY for a little over $100 more then you would have spent on those. Overall, I think you can do it, the casework is going to be by far the hardest task there. Get yourself some nice pre-drilled front and back panels from Front Panel Express with the money you save if you don't want to drill yourself. Just brush up on the tangent tutorials.
  6. Anyone believe they have found a trusted online store to get the newer version of the Fostex yet?
  7. I got the pair from John (heels-6) on eBay. Pretty nice cables, shipping was super fast.
  8. You lost me. How do you calculate that? diyAudio Forums - ESS Sabre Buffalo DAC - Page 50 diyAudio Forums - ESS Sabre Buffalo DAC - Page 51
  9. Maybe if I sell my fully loaded Opus, HD600, HD650, and spare Millett Max, SS Millett, and Alien Kits...
  10. Hi Paul. I like your taste in equipment, its sensible.

  12. I am a little tempted to see if I can get a chance at hearing them before the meet if they do come, it bothers me how close by they will be (two blocks).
  13. Expecting to hear more news about the upcoming new ESS Sabre32 DAC boards from TPA and counterpoint discrete output stage soon, looking forward to more impressions and hoping that it won't be another case like the OPUS so soon.
  14. I'm going to hear it in February at the Southern CanFest. Then I still have to wait to afford it until 2010 if things go well.
  15. I'm very soon to be in the same boat, so thanks for bringing up this thread and the suggestions.
  16. I don't always trust my ears, but I believe the brickwall has affected the sound produced through the Elpac PS to my M^3 in a good way. I don't really want to think of how to describe it, other then its different and I like it.
  17. Father PostJack gets my vote for head-case celebrity.
  18. Damn you smeggy for tempting me to find this, its wonderful.
  19. I think it may have something to do with most music that gets attention (in the media) currently is continuously becoming less and less worthy of buying (artists looking pretty, music's shitty).
  20. Happy birthday!

  22. I spent the entire day yesterday recovering. Good times.

  24. Happy B-day
