    Calculators in Japan

    I recently had to dig my TI-83+ out of storage, retaking a chem class this fall that I should have paid attention to in undergrad ten years ago    Fresh AAAs and it worked perfectly. In my professional life, if I needed to calculate anything, that's what Excel was for...

    Woo Audio WA6-SE vs. Decware Taboo mk3

    I'd probably go with the Taboo for the easy speaker-driving capability; I like having flexibility in case I ever find myself using components in ways I hadn't thought of when I bought them.   I love 6SN7s, but tube-rolling Decware amps usually is a much cheaper proposition. The stock input...

    Schiit Owners Unite

      Waiting for a Gungnir or Ygg owner to come here and say it's not the height, but the width...    I guess I can post in here now. Received my (original model) Modi last week. Does all I need out of a DAC for now, didn't need any of the optical or coax inputs just yet...maybe someday.

    Struggling with closed headphone choice

    Thanks, that's good to know.

    Struggling with closed headphone choice

      I won't be listening incredibly loud.     Those were something I was considering, but I've heard from people who have owned them that the bass response can get a little overwhelming, even moreso with an OTL. My listening is usually classical/folk/rock/jazz in that order, so while a...
