Those are some GREAT tips about getting the perfect joint! Too bad it will be covered by a veneer.

I like the look of the ZDT a little more. Then again I did put a down payment on #5 last Friday...

Would something like these be any good? ThinkGeek :: H2 Pocket-Size Digital Audio Recorder ThinkGeek :: H4 Pocket-Size Digital Audio Recorder

It's past Tuesday already. Wondering if somebody went postal on the kids and dog and can't post till he makes bail...

re: iPod boom - it bugged me tonight when a guy was complaining on head-fi that his ipod via LOD into Grahm Slee NOVO didn't sound any different than this HFI-780 plugged directly into his iPod, and said that all the NOVO did was provide gain for his HD600. I posted that if the goal is to have an amp that is a wire with gain (WWG) then why would he be surprised that is sounds as bad as if listening right out of the iPod? I recommended maybe he consider getting a better source (transport and DAC). As for stats - I got my first rig from plaidplatypus for $235 SR-Lambda with SRD-X, and plugging that into the headphone out of my DV336i was better than plugging the HD600 into the same amp. That started me on this spiral into moar and moar stats...

Moar power.

That's a good question. Maybe you could restate it at the other forum in a way that makes it more clear? I have an Isomax XLR-RCA transformer that is supposed to let me input SE into XLR inputs or the other way around, and I've always wondered how that works too.

Yeah, at the 11/1 Colorado meet your SRM-1 Mk2 did not do well with my O2 Mk2 at all. At the 2/14 meet the SRM-T1 did halfway decent, but sounded a little soft around the edges with the O2.

Do you have any other stat amps to compare to the KGBHSE ?

What headphones will you be using with the KGBHSE? I now have Stax O2 Mk1, O2 Mk2, Sennheiser HE60, HE Audio Jade, woodied Gamma/Smegma Pro and SR-003 (plus a few normal bias that wont work on the A-10 or BH). I sold Blutarsky the ESP950 which may end up back with me some day...

Small suitcases that could work as a flight-case for headphones of various sizes - all you need is to add your own foam. I was looking for cases after seeing Fitz's AKG case for K1000: Heartland America: Decorative Canvas 3 Piece Suitcase Set

DEFINITELY !! I'll let you know as soon as I know anything. Can we assume your KGBHSE has shipped yet?

I've still got 4 beer left over from the 2/14 meet that I told him to take with him and he forgot it. I'll be happy to offer that up I found a buyer for his O2 Mk1, and then ended up owning them myself this weekend. We could have a tearful reunion with his O2 Mk1 for him, complete with flowers and organ music.

Maybe Namaan will bring his DIY Blue Hawaii over to compare.

I also do not like the volume on the left and headphone out on the right, but that is something I'll have to live with on my ZDT - not a deal breaker. I have one of those and it runs about 9-10 hours on a charge, and the AD8599 opamp upgrade and caps upgrades really do help it sound wonderful. Audiocats is a wizard at modding the SR-001 (not shilling, I paid full price for my mods). I promise I will not be turned into a shill for the A-10. I got my maxed GES and O2 shortly after I posted that I would get a review sample of the A-10, and even with my love for the GES I have posted a few times that sometimes a speaker amp and SRD-7 Pro is better with the O2 than the GES. But, I can still enjoy the O2 on the GES now that I have the right source for it - so what happens if I enjoy the A-10 as well? Total ridicule coming my way I suspect. You guys are so mean

I think that is the older model without 802.11n wifi, just 802.11g, if that matters. Still a rocking deal since you can add 802.11n via usb stick for $29. 802.11n Usb - Computers - Compare Prices, Reviews and Buy at NexTag - Price - Review

Yeah, so far I've never heard the ESP950 squeal, ever. Nothing but nice music with the Stax re-cable on Stax amps.

Well, with the ESP950 unplugged for 26 hours it only took 30 seconds to charge up tonight, with the vague possibility that the left driver might be taking up to 60-90 seconds to get that last 1dB of imbalance caught up. They sound really good, and I think we'll just wait a while before sending them in for this minor issue. If they are used every day it is a non-issue.

Every time I unplug my optical DAC, when I plug it back in the Macbook Pro (and older Macbook) will default to 24/44.1, so I have to change it back to 24/96 again before launching iTunes. I don't recall what the Duet would do when unplugged and then plugged in again.

Happy birthday!

Never heard a squeal with these ones. Is that only with the stock amp, or with stax too?

What did you tell them was wrong with it when you sent it in, since there was no cable attached? Poor Canadian have to pay $7.00

When I was thinking they needed more spark or oomph, I didn't mean that much! As for pizazz - I mispelled it: pizzazz - Wiktionary
