    X-CanV3 Powers speakers really well!

    So I always leave my V3 on 24/7 and today I thought, How would it sound running a pair of old NS-10 monitors. It sounds great! So now I feel better about leaving it on since it will be running the monitors(at my computer) when I'm not in the mood for cans.

    New Nano sound better than the old Nano!

    Hi All, I bought a 8 gb Nano today and I've noticed the SQ is better than my last 2gb model. Does not distort with the loudness on like the 2 gb did! I guess Apple makes minor improvments from timt to time.

    My X-Can has a big hole in it!!

    Got bored and tierd of pulling the covers every time I wanted to try different tubes. My friend was going to help me with (he's a machinist) but has been to busy lately. I did a 20 minute Blow&Go job with a grinder and a can of undercoating paint. I hope this wont void my warranty!

    Can a Amp have to much detail?

    I know some of you have had enough of me spouting off about how great the X-CanV3 is, but today my X-CanV3 hit a new high! I received some more Russian tubes and raised the level of this already stunning amp to new levels. I still cant get over the huge sonic changes made by different brands...

    Hi All, I wanted to thank Pink for planting the upgrade bug in me! Not sure if I would have done it if I had not read his post. Also Sorry I did not buy your kit.

    Free Nano!

    I helped a guy with a flat tire and he gave me a Nano! Turns out he works for Apple and is a high up in the Ipod department. He only asked that I use it and not sell it for at least a year, as it is a one off with Apple internal markings! Way cool...

    To much time on my hands? RED 650's!

    I liked the way those limited 555/595's looked. So I did my 650's up in red! at least the grills are red. It's a dark red as not to clash with the overall apperance of the cans. http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne...4706250&size=o and a slightly over exposed shot...

    Smoother Koss KSC75

    Hi all, I went to RadioShack today and picked up the deal of the week! These Koss KSC75's do sound good! but there a tad bright for my taste. I know resistors can add noise if used incorrectly(such as a inline volume control). So I removed the volume and these little gems are a lot...

    Back in town and had a Creek waiting 4 me!

    When I got home today there was a Creek OBH-11 on the doorstep. Hooked it up and almost gaged on its medeocore sound quality. I opened it up to find a cruddy little Op-Amp being used for the output. I knew it was time to brake out the soldering iron! I went thru my box of Op-amps and found my...
