spritzer Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 That's because the SR-007 is nothing short of awesome and Dan said all the right things. That being said I must admit to hardly touching the 007 after I got my Omega/007 hybrid. Now if I could only get a Blue Hawaii to try them on... There are of course upgrades you could do to the ES-1 such as install a new PSU just for the output stage, fix the filament wiring and add a CCS to the output stage but it would take SP decades to do this if he even could.
The Monkey Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 How come Spritzer seemed to agree with Icarium's statement? And no one agrees with mine? Poor little me. You're in the mafia's doghouse. I still haven't had a chance to compare the MK1 to the MK2. I'm actually thinking about taking a day off from work to do it and to do some work on the rig. Also, I received new pads for the Mk1 and they seem very nice. I am not excited to go through the process of putting them on, though. I also have a new headband coming. Is that a difficult change to make? Also, a big gas face goes out to audiocubes 2 for charging extra for Lambda Pro pads over the newer SR series pads WHEN THEY ARE THE EXACT SAME MODEL REPLACEMENT PAD. I know because have them in front of me.
justin Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 Here is a KG BHSE Pic Update - waiting on the laser engraving - finished heatsink sample (same finish as top/bottom/back) in back of some pics
spritzer Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 Very nice!!! I don't think we've ever discussed it but will the back part be silver like that? You know I loves me some silvah...
Icarium Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 Wow beautiful. Definitely worth every penny of the asking price.
n_maher Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 Very nice!!! I don't think we've ever discussed it but will the back part be silver like that? You know I loves me some silvah... I'm speaking out of turn but it's always been my understanding that the main chassis bits (the silver parts in those pictures) will be powder coated black in the finished amp. Regardless it looks outstanding Justin.

Regardless it looks outstanding Justin. Yeah that might be correct. I don't really mind either way but the new "old" BH will be all silver. Now I've only got to find somebody to machine an Ayre MX-R style chassis for me...
Asr Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 Dammit, I should have taken a pledge to not open this thread until I got mine. In the event that any more pics will be posted, I might as well take this pledge now and just continue to wait it out. That said, the heatsink design is just pure awesome.
Duggeh Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 Here is a KG BHSE Pic Update - waiting on the laser engraving - finished heatsink sample (same finish as top/bottom/back) in back of some pics -images- Do want. Spritzer, when yours gets off the ice breaker and into the bakery, I could send you up the fugly piezo and you can tear it a new one for sounding like ass even with 1.81 jiggawatts into it?
Dusty Chalk Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 Hott. And I agree with you, Elephas -- I've heard an ES-1, and yes, it, too, is some of the best sound I've ever heard.

We certainly can do that and since I'll be building a surplus BH (to test out a cheaper way to make the old design) that could take a trip over to Scotland so you can hear how that SR-007 was meant to sound like.
Deadneddz Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 Justin, you weren't kidding about the teaser pics shortly. Looks like a fine amp, can't wait to see the complete amp with laser engraving. And i can't wait for mine;D
Dreadhead Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 Justin, that is horrible looking... I vote you finish that one and send it to me and I will get back to you in 1 or 2 decades about how to improve the looks. thanks... I look forward to the pm
HeadphoneAddict Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 I think I'd be the one to ask for it in "all black" if I could afford one...
luvdunhill Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 does anyone happen to know where one can get an official drawing of the Stax plug and socket? Or, if the Amphenol stuff is indeed an exact fit, is there a technical drawing of these part numbers?
spritzer Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 To me that sounds a most worthy idea. I thought you might like it... does anyone happen to know where one can get an official drawing of the Stax plug and socket? Or, if the Amphenol stuff is indeed an exact fit, is there a technical drawing of these part numbers? I've never seen the data sheet for the WPI sockets and Stax is probably keeping theirs under wraps as usual.

Why dont you take a trip over to the states in May and show everyone how the SR-007 was meant to sound like with that KGBH SE you're about to get;) lol
spritzer Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 Nah... Justin takes care of you US lot but my European friends are left out in the cold.
