Hi guys, I'm just heading out for dinner, however I'll post up when I get back. It was my pleasure to host the meet, and it was great having you all in my home. Cheers! Trevor

I am throwing a mini-meet, as some of you may have read about in the member's forum. The time is Saturday January 29th at 11:00am. All are welcome. Bring beer (Corona, Stella Artois, Rickerd's Red, Killkenny, etc.) if you're so inclined! I will have: Audio-Technica ATH-W2002 Sony MDR-R10...

What is the best insulator and heat transfer agent to isolate the tab of a heatsinked IC? Where can I get it / how much does it cost? Cheers!

Hello all! I am seriously considering organizing a large meet for some time in March or April. We're talking hall-rental, catering, the whole thing. I am currently examining the logistics of such an event. How many people are interested?

I have just received a pair of SR-404 that I would like to test. Unfortunately due to my working hours I am unable to make it to Commercial Electronics. I would like to verify the functionality of these headphones tonight or tomorrow ideally. I am located near Metrotown. I will be building a...

If someone in the Vancouver, BC area has a set of Stax with the newer "Pro" connector please send me a PM. Cheers! Trevor

I am building a STEPS, and I am unsure as to what resistor I should use for R2. The documentation does not seem to go into detail for this. This is a standard STEPS with all default parts.

Does there exist any issues in utilizing 0.1uF polar tantalum caps for the opamp filter caps? I would suspect the positive leads would face eachother. Would this be correct?

Hi all, I have given it some thought, and I would like to make a balanced CMOY. What I am curious about however is what hurdles I may encounter while making it. I suspect someone has attempted if not succeeded in making one. Cheers! Trevor

I am looking for a cool looking logo sort of thing. I was thinking of the work "TrevorNetwork" in the same writing as Porsche writes "Turbo" in on the back of the 911. I am very open to suggestions however for everything. This is for the top of an amplifier. Possibly a small version for the...

I am willing to do the group buy when the board files for the PSU are verified. I am however located in Canada. I do not feel that should be an issue however. I may also be willing to do a parts group buy. Cheers! Trevor

Is it possible to modify the Sennheiser HEV70 for better performance? Would a STEPS power supply make an audible difference? What about modifications to the HEV70 internals? Trevor

Hi All, I have just purchased a PS2 (the new small one), and am looking for some fighting and racing games. Let's get some recommendations here! Trevor

Well here I am at work listening to my "portable" headphone system. I have a huge grin on my face. At the moment I am listening to Norah Jones' Feelin' The Same Way on my W2002s fed by my maxed-'moy and my iPod. It sounds pretty damn good. Really good infact. My maxed-'moy has shocked me with...

Hi ladies and gents! Watchdog is hosting a Burnaby, BC meet this Saturday from 11-6, optionally continuing at my new place in downtown Vancouver until 10:00pm. Lots of great gear, and attendees. We have space for about three to four more people. Get your ass into the meets section, and...

What are the resistor values required to populate the Elma stepped atenuator from the group buy? Is the Elma fixed at a certain maximum impedence or will the maximum impedence be decided by the populating resistors? What is the correct wattage assuming Vishay-Dale resistors? Trevor

<drool> <drool> <drool> sooooooooooooooo goooooooooooooooooooooood <drool> <drool> They are exactly the sound I have been looking for. Anyone ever notice how they smell kindof like the Omega II? <drool> <drool> nevermind the fact that they're so beautiful! Thanks to...

Hi all, I have cased up the dynahi (similar to Rsaavedra's) and I now have a hum (60hz). Unfortunately it is induced on the board, and not the input wires. So shielding the input wires will not really help. I removed the input wires from the board all together, and still heard a light hum. I...

I have hooked the DAC1 up to my Sony DVD player, and the headphone outs sound great. I am thoroughly impressed. However, when utilizing the RCA outs there is a significant amount of buzz. I suspect a ground loop issue. Anyway, when I utilize the DAC1's right output, it sounds very buzzy...

I might as well have some pics to drool over! My DAC1 is stranded at the border along with W2002s, A900s, and Dynahi parts. It's been close to two weeks now. I have been drooling over pics of the W2002s, can someone take lots of high-res pics of the DAC1 for me? Please e-mail them to...

I have a USPS Express package on the way that was sent out from Minneapolis last Monday, and its status has been "Left the united states from Chicago airport" since last Tuesday! I have another item that has been at that same status, but leaving from NYC on its 4th day now. Both are express...

What are the champagne-coloured parts on the Audio-Technica ATH-W2002 made of? Inquiring minds want to know.

Wow! I just finished my turkey dinner, and I cannot believe how good it was. It was the best turkey dinner I've ever had. Amazing stuffing, baby carrots, mashed potatoes, white wine. I wish you guys could have all been over. This is the first thanksgiving dinner I've ever had away from home...

It is my understanding from reading some old threads that the W2002 is unique in that it does well with a "clinical" sounding source/amp. Have anyone tried the DAC1's headphone jack with the W2002? What about the DAC1 as a source with a different amp? A Gilmore perhaps? Cheers! Trevor

Hi Head-fi guys and gals, I seem to remember one of the members having access to digital versions of the newest Stereophile issues. Is it possible for that member to send me the binary (trevornetwork@gmail.com) or a link? Cheers! Trevor
