Just finished hooking up an Uber Bifrost (USB & Analog) that I got new/other off of ebay, & I sure appreciate all of the info You folx have provided here for us bifrost-curious types.   As a home studio owner, my needs have always been more towards the analytical & transparent components, as...

Great work Folx. Always an inspiration to check in on this thread, thanx for posting such beautiful work! pen & blue paper, continuing to flesh this out into painter 2015.

Good God. I don't usually post OPA, but do yourself a flavour, & put a good 5 minute song on and watch:  this time-lapse in painter 2015 this talented artist created. my yardstick is inspiration, & i was both relaxed and inspired by this, much the way drawing relaxes me.

Lockheed, the opposite of Grue.

Grue   One of My old sculptures, needs dusting. The eyes are ball bearings, the sculpture was built around the Hatchet I made as an earring when I used to have hair  Violet interference pigment on flat black, supersculpey as the medium.   Great work fellas, there is a tight limitation on...

Heyhey, I am still rolling tubes in the WA3+, I am getting the feeling that the WA3+ is very revealing, but may not have enough power to drive the K-340s. (currently......................................get it,lol)   Although My set has the green bass light driver, the bass lvls are quite...

T-Shirt Castle for a Friend's Kid. Background done in Painter 2015 with a wacom tablet.

As this performance is Live, it is of course amplified. And a great recording to boot. (about 11 minutes) But a properly recorded Harp is kindof a litmus test for Me soundwise; because I grew up around harps & harpsichords being made. This is a song based on a true story about a King & a...

Hope to attend on sunday, I'll bring My  stock AKG K-340's to see if they benefit from more power than the Woo WA3+ provides. I'll even put a brand new sock on My non-destructive memory foam headband mod....so comfy, so ghetto. 

Some Charcoal Sketches by Me.

Here are also some pencil sketches from My animal life drawing sketchbook:

+ Subbed. Some beautiful work folx, very inspiring! I'll do something headphone-related to add at some point soon, Here is my 1st effort with 2 of Painter 2015's new particle brushes (with my wacom tablet) ....did the ship 1st and added the storm afterwards 

anyone got 4k I could borrow? McIntosh Prototype MHP1000 Headphones     I bet they sound horrible, Yeah, probably sound not as good as what I have.....yeah.

My 340s arrived last week & I couldn't be happier.   I really love these 340s, I am very pleased that the ebay photos of them did not do them justice. They appear to have not been used at all, even the the pleather is perfect.   I wonder if the people that got theirs new in box had that tag...

Will Hopefully be able to provide some layman's feedback regarding the K340 & the Woo WA3+ (1st Gen w/ the Preamp) -it will the 1st Output Transformer-Less tube amp in my studio    Not sure what variation My 340s are, when they arrive I'll see if I can find out. They look pretty beat up...

So I pulled the trigger on a set of these, They still have the tag hanging from the cable, but look pretty beat up.   Other than the velour replacement pads from ebay, -I won't be modding them until I get a good feel for what they sound like.   I am going to be using a WooAudio WA3 (1st...

Couldn't find them in My RCA Box, They were rebranded GE 5691s.  Below is a the 5691 envelope next to a GE 6SN7. The RCA 5691 tubes were over -engineered for Avionics & have a 10k lifespan & are very quiet in My old Fender Champion. I may Have another Pair in My Tung-Sol Box, I will keep...

Having received a court order to exhume this thread.......   I just wanted to say I actually squealed when I saw this, as I have been eyeing these adapters....Great tip on the pin length, forewarned is forearmed!   Thank You (and all You guys) for all of this great info! I have some RCA...

Having just purchased a used Woo Audio 3 series amp, I am confused as to which # Designation is for which version of this amp.   Is the 3+ really the Gen 2 version without the Pre?   From The Woo Audio News Page:   05-28-2010 The WA3+ is renamed to WA3. The preamp output has been...

I have also been looking at these two Headphone Amp/Preamps. What I've gathered so far is that the Valhala is more neutral & not tubey like the Lyr, and it can accept a wide variety of Headphone impedances.(a 2- position attenuator switch, according to their site)   The Woo is...

Welcome Metsfan! Another Q701 lover hear  The only headphones that exactly match near field 2.1 reference monitors. I won't record & mix tracks with any other my 'phones.    & thanx for the 701 thread tip Uncle Al, time for some Joanna Newsom (Harp & Vox) - and some more thread...

Hey Ralf, the same quest led me to this great community, and in particular this thread for this great small dac/amp:   Aune T1 mk2    400 + pages of glowing reviews says a lot, for the money.

Is this really possible? Because I have some Jan Crc 5692 tubes which are the king of 6SN7s, and would love to hear those....

There is a good reason why the AKG Q701's made in Austria are more expensive than the ones made in China. there is a vast ocean of difference between Quality Control, & Quality Assurance....   I found part of a chicken bone in a Chinese Yaquin amp I bought on ebay for a "great value", lol...

Changing tubes in a good power amp is not a waste of money, but Your mileage may vary.   I could record the output difference between an EL84 & a 7189 that would sonically disprove Your opinion. The difference between a Bendix 5992 & a chinese 6V6 is like night in day in a transparent amp...
