Don't you know, you are supposed to ship F5s partially unassembled by just tossing them in a box. They dont need padding or any of that fluff. Heck, probably dont even need a box.

Ah yeah, that's no good. And there's no telling what shipping will do to it, especially if it isn't cased yet. The Hafler and the Yamaha will do a decent enough job in driving everything, I'm sure.

Dusty, tubes are good if the output impedance is low enough...

Edit: lol @ Colin's comment. Saves on weight costs.

exactly the line of "humor" I was going for with the suggestion :)

don't worry Steve :)

Yeah, tubes can do just fine. The mentioned spud would have about 4ohm output impedance, plus the DCR of the transformer secondary (another 4ohm), and 375mA max current output.

When did you order those, Colin? Mine should be on the way to Tampa, if not there already. Matt, do you want to borrow them for a while?

Just saw this. When they show up I'm excited to have a quick listen, even if my MPX3 won't be too happy with their 32 ohm goodness.

Of course I could just pretend I never saw this, and since Wayne has given me no other form of notification that there are expensive headphones landing on my door soon I could just claim total ignorance on the matter.

Yup. by far the most stupid idea on HF in a long while.

Heaven forbid they try and have a little fun with it. I'm at least interested to see what they do with it and hope it fares better than the podcast idea.

The magazine as such, probably isn't a bad idea. Entertaining nonetheless. It all depends on what kind of papers do it, if opinions will be accurate and honest, and how much advertising pressure is allowed biasing the writings.

If they include divulging articles about electronics, acoustics, psycho-acoustics... it can even become an useful resource for many people.
