Well, i pulled the trigger on that upgraded Zhaolu 2.5A from the for sale forums. I was going to get a Zero dac, but then i thought to myself the Zhaolu has some nice upgrades..bypassing the caps, replaced the power caps with blackgates...has the txco clock upgraded and the opamps changed to 4562s.

Will have it by Canjam, hopefully within a few days or so.

Update: I will now be sending in my entire system for CanJam, I just got news that one of my two balanced solid-state amps is done, whoooooo! I've updated my post #2 with my full stash!

Team Florida will be welcome to my equipment while it sits at tyrion's house for 3 weeks following CanJam '08 - just please don't break anything, ok?

Too bad my other balanced amp is still in progress, that would've been even more awesome....

ready and spending like alittle kid again =)

I know i missed a few small meets, work and school was doing a toll on me. Would have 5 days of class, then 4 days of work, 1 day to study and 1 day to relax....left little to no playtime for me. Thank god i had some gear to listen to during that.

I cant wait for this....i come back 1 day and i got the 701s, then traded those for the 650s, now just back a DAC to go behind the DV336i =)

Can wait to see you guys at CJ ...less then 2 weeks....who excited?
