Voltron

I didn't have the AD2Ks around so I have not heard them with the FET-A. I am not sure I will have the chance to check out that combo before I pass it along. I am not sure what you mean by "including gain" but I did not get the sense that the amp was too much for any of the low-impedance cans I used (HF-1, PS-1 and Ed. 9). I had plenty of play on the volume.

Thanks fellas. I did not feel the amp was underpowered with any of the cans I tried. I had to turn it up slightly more with the Senns and the most with K340s, but I don't think that I was ever past 10 or 11 o'clock on the volume.

Also posted on HF: The Intro Todd recently sent me a production model of the new TTVJ FET-A amp that he and Pete Millett have created. The amp went on sale this month for $649, and is available exclusively from TTVJ.com. Pete did the design of this fully discrete, Class A headphone amp and preamp, and Todd assembles and sells them. The FET-A has two pairs of RCA inputs and the volume-controlled preamp output on the back, and substantial Elpac wallwart provides the power. The front has a power switch, input selector, volume control and both

Arrghh. Sorry about that Dinny. Here's to wishing you good news and an end to the headaches. /me drinks cognac in your honor/

Dan, We need pics of the feast you are preparing today. I am so damn jealous of all those mud bugs and boudin that a little photo journalism could give me a virtual taste of it. Cheers!

I think that the new designs actually have improvements, not cost cutting. The square rods, for example, broke far more often than the round ones do. The cables I think are upgraded, and other such things. The whole silver 325i thing awhile back was new stock trickling in without notice because dealers get stuck with the "old" models when new ones are announced. It is a very decent policy followed by Grado. Anyway, I am curious as hell to hear the PS1000 especially with flats -- and will check out Zanths's page shortly -- but it is not going to knock the PS-1 off the top of the heap and shouldn't do anything to the value of those truly limited edition cans.

Flashback cheers! Have a fantastic birthday Dan!

Are you still talking about pens at this point?

Cool deck indeed.

How can you have too many records or too many bottles of scotch. Plus, they go so well together!

That Parker is great looking, Jeff.

Thirded! Happy New Avatar Day!

Ooh, jealous. That sounds really nice, and looks lovely.

Mmm, could be.

Nice grab, guzzi. We have two Miele vacuums and they have both been excellent.

Congrats Mike! It is going to be fun to go back to SF and pick up the Luxman tomorrow. You won't be far behind. The Menace is going up on the blocks! Dang, that is almost a sin. Good luck with letting it go.

I'm pretty sure Dan quoted Smeggy.

Got a link to DFH website, didn't know about the division between the DE and MD operations, and the website doesn't exactly make that clear. Talking to Dan offline to see what he wants to do.

Oops. That came from a lot more than San Francisco but they must be damn efficient over there at DFH. Gotta alert the troops.

Have a great one! Cheers
