postjack Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 I disagree. There are times a fatty mcd's breakfast is just what the doctor ordered. the poison doctor maybe. tubes.
JBLoudG20 Posted November 25, 2008 Author Report Posted November 25, 2008 tubes. x2 for my broken amp.
n_maher Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 tubes. Speaking of tubes, YGPM jack. Also, gdang, I looked last night and I think I have 30+ input tubes for the Menace now.

n_maher Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 Not sure I have that many output tubes since I have to buy pairs it gets expensive. I also have a bunch of pairs of rectifiers too, not to mention standard Millett hybrid tubes and now a growing collection of Starving tubes too.

I also have a bunch of pairs of rectifiers too, not to mention standard Millett hybrid tubes and now a growing collection of Starving tubes too. I'm tempted to build a starving, but finances got real tight, real quick. I need to rebuild my VanTOTL, too I just picked up a crazy good deal on output tubes is why I have so many. On the other hand I have like 3 6SN7's.
n_maher Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 I'm tempted to build a starving, but finances got real tight, real quick. I need to rebuild my VanTOTL, too PM me if I can help with the vantotl, not sure what freebies the parts box might contain that could be of use but I'll look.
JBLoudG20 Posted November 25, 2008 Author Report Posted November 25, 2008 PM me if I can help with the vantotl, not sure what freebies the parts box might contain that could be of use but I'll look. Thanks for the offer. I'll decide if I feel like dealing with it. I have most of the resistors (exception of the heatsinked cahodes- 1k), new octal sockets, chassis, and B+ transformer. It'll probably end up on hold for a long time, unless I can pickup some extra cash. I was called upon for full time school, so my pay just just cut by about 75%. Oh well, sacrifice now
n_maher Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 Not to completely derail this thread but I might, just might have the resistors for you. I ordered a spare set of 1k/50W resistors when I was building the Menace that should be in a box somewhere.

I ordered a spare set of 1k/50W resistors when I was building the Menace that should be in a box somewhere. 50W sweet.. I think I used 25W last time. It might make snese to sell some output tubes to fund a transformer
deepak Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 Thanks to both Steves (Hoffman and Zippy). Once I bring the TT upstairs I'll spin some of it this evening.
deepak Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 No place to spin it. I like the packaging on the Music Matters, quite a step up from the AP.
Voltron Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 I like the packaging on the Music Matters, quite a step up from the AP. Understatement of the week. Music Matters Rulez!
postjack Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 the music matters packaging is top notch, makes me feel like i'm getting my money's worth. however, watch out for the glue on big beat. they fixed it in later releases.

GPH Posted November 26, 2008 Report Posted November 26, 2008 Just placed an order for the Westone 3, I have a hunch they'll be good. If not, I'll sell them with a small loss before the FOTM wears out.
Fungi Posted November 26, 2008 Report Posted November 26, 2008 Apparently they were engineered to sound like the RS-1? I might have to get myself some of those if that's true.

Salt Peanuts Posted November 26, 2008 Report Posted November 26, 2008 Apparently they were engineered to sound like the RS-1? I might have to get myself some of those if that's true. Of course, then the question becomes, which RS-1?

GPH Posted November 26, 2008 Report Posted November 26, 2008 Considering the delay, they had better sound good. I hope so, the long delay was certainly not the smartest move they could have made commercially. Did they ever tell the reason of the delay? I'll try to write some impressions here when I get them to contrast all the "OMFG, I just got Westonez 1111!!!!11!" that will no doubt happen on Head-fi.
