    Strange hum in SOHA II (getting louder, turning into hiss and disappearing in about 3min)

    I had this problem with my SOHA II when it was running a pair of 12AU7s, but I recently switched to the 6DJ8s and there is no hiss at start up anymore... Also as a side note my amp seems to run cooler with the 6DJ8s but has lesser gain than the 12AU7s.   Edit: Weird I just rolled my 12AU7s...

    pencil fi?

    Here is my current pencil the Pilot H-3003. It's a balanced medium weight pencil with a retractable tip. Overall it's a very nice pencil to write with and I fully enjoy using it. Too bad this pencil is no longer in production :(

    cheapest amp that works for all of these sets?

    A pc sound card is not going to be adequate. They will make sound, but it won't be particularly good sound. I own the HD 650 and AKG 702 and run them both off a SOHA II.

    So I've been using this amp for some time now and it's great, but I've always wondered what is it's max output using 12AU7's? How would I go about measuring this this?

    Grado and AKG K601 / K701, *and* [added] Beyer DT880/250's

    Just received my pair of K702's and have been listening to them out of my SOHA II amp.They sound great there is no sibliance or an overly bright sound. There is also sufficient bass not as much as my HD650's or my Westone 3's, but there is definitely enough bass. These phones really don't match...

    SOHA II Builders Thread

    Just finished my build but I'm having problems. My R3P resistor gets really hot and starts to smoke, I've tried looking for shorts but I do not see any. I orginally had LV- and H switched around and it was working okay there, but after I corrected it this happened.   EDIT: Fixed it...

    Hello, I have a question about the linear regulators. Mouser does not have any in stock of the three I need, but there are alternative except they put out 1.5 Amp instead of the nominal 1 Amp. Are these okay to get or should I look elsewhere.
