Wow ...6+ years!!!   Okies, bad news is, is that the original jpeg(s) are somewhere, on some DVD, in some box, in some stack at my storage facility. The good news is that I have all the original stock photos I used to create the wallpaper on my backup drive at the house. So if you guys are...

Provided the speakers are shielded, you should be okay, but another problem that folks tend to ignore is power isolation.  Make sure you use a power outlet that is independent of any appliances running with an initial surge amperage, (i.e. refrigerators, Air Conditioners, etc...) For about a...

Quote: You may be correct, but I'd wager it's because this software is Mac only.  Like it or not, there's a significant number of us Windows users that are "culturally" and financially chained to our hardware/software investments.  I wish I could afford both.

 Maybe O/T without the choral presence, but a worthy addition to anyone's soundtrack library. It's been over played a bit and "covered" on a few trailers and documentaries, but popular for a reason. I recommend the entire soundtrack if you have a mind to peruse it.  

This address has some fundamental instructions for various configurations. Might help you out.   http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/nov05/articles/emupatchmix.htm

Just for FYI purposes, my HD250 is dead quiet with Grado HF-2s. Even though low impedance cans may exacerbate an existing hum-problem, they "should" perform flawlessly with a HD250 by design.

Well, been listening to mine, (#6), for a couple of weeks now. Still only got about 40 hours on it, but the SQ hasn't changed much, if at all since I got it. This amp is dead quiet, with no hum and haven't yet heard any tube microphonics with handling or the occasional bump. I have some...

A playlist is only an index pointer. If they were erased, then you were not copying a playlist.

Sounds like you had a cold joint. Cold joints will, a lot of times, pop loose with some flexing and pulling. Look for cloudy or gray dull solder around the connection. A good joint has a mirror-like finish throughout and is tougher than most people initially assume.

I doubt that I will ever own one of these amps. Nevertheless, this thread has been both enjoyable and informative. Thank you very much for your effort and time, folks.

Well, Dr. Peppard confirmed the receipt of my deposit last night for the HE250. Think I'm #6 in the queue. I hate you guys.

Being an ex-Navy man, I've had the rare opportunity to date both a Korean and a Japanese woman. I liked the Korean woman better. ....just sayin.
