Torpedo

Funnily enough that same album was my choice after listening to Neko's

I knew someone would love it.

Neko Case - The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight... NPR stream

I thought I wouldn't live to see the day when Steve admitted that performance matters more than size.

We not even know if they could ride a bike, designing them doesn't imply being able to ride. Maybe they could ride, but not over soft sand.

Happy Belated Birthday! I wish you had a great one

Happy Birthday!!!!!

lol, thanks Birgir, I'm sorry I can't remember all the knowledge this thread provides. My fault for not searching it, though to be honest, I thought it was some bogus parameter, one of those which too many makers love to claim. Is it really possible to measure the ss voltage directly at the headphone?

5% distortion at 800V ss... What's ss? other way to name rms, or perhaps saddle to saddle as in peak to peak? Either way, considering the SNR is 86dB it doesn't seem that marvelous. It looks classy though.

Interesting. The gypsy curse didn't fell on all your Single Power stuff

Sometimes they help when the wire is acting as an antenna. The coiling making the problem worse is kind of revealing, maybe extending it completely and moving around the room could show if the reception gets worse, perhaps a clever system placement can get rid of it.

Did you try the ferrite rings on the headphone cable? Several? I guess you did, it's just to know if you found some difference using them on the power wires, interconnects or the headphones to determine which wires are acting as the antenna. Maybe it's all them.

Ferrite rings?

^ I love that album. Undecided if better or not than "All Night Long", which is a personal favorite too.

Happy Birthday, Tyll The occasion deserves a brand new shirt, and a toast. Have a great one.

I'm very sorry for your loss, Mike. RIP Denver.

Happy Birthday, Tom!!!

RIP, George.

Lol

WTF?

I used Blu Tack between the foam and the headphone, and a soft adhesive in stick between the foam and the felt. I made the Blutack into a thin layer. Completely reversible, no residue, happy with the result.

I made my own version too, basically with medium density felt covering the ring and the attaching piece, over a thin layer of some stiff foam. No dullness, nor brightness either. Works well with the Luxman and the Gilmore Reference. Still a bit "hot" with the Beta, so I guess the thing is overall balanced.
