So for you and anyone else reading this - Sparkos SS3601 are not plug-and-play with the older version of RKV MKII. I am just getting hum in both channels. I reached out to Sparkos directly to see if he has ideas on retrofitting, but sadly will likely just return the op apms.

agree, mine were close to dead, so just getting a new set to start afresh. Need to dig into the subject, just want to ensure there are no meaningful changes in the circuitry between your version and RKV MKII that would prevent me from just swapping the opamps directly. Thanks!

Funny enough your comment came right around the time I dusted off my RKV MKII and K1000 from a 5 year hibernation in a closet. Can you please elaborate on the scope of the changes you made, as I am about to shop for replacement tubes on ebay for this thing.

cool, thanks Aaron.

May I join the brownie eating "consortium" I can bring a table and whatever is in the sig ? pretty plizz 8)

heh, the OC AMD from the 2cpu forums has hit the 10mil mark and decided to switch his 540 instances to fold for Descent Bulletin Boards, their team is sky rocketing.

It's a sarcastic remark regarding corvettes and goes with NSX performance in the video.

For all you "Nahh" sayers - a little something to consider. I wonder wherever Corvette would still be making a pre final lap while all others are at the finish line. NSX vs. Gallardo vs. Mucielago vs. 996TT vs. M3 CSL vs. 360 Modena *video

And the point of this is? It's not F50 and it will never be...

BTW, I often go over 12 o'clock so I guess it's ok...

I'll second all that's been said above, but wanted to emphasize the importance of proper placement/fit. I would suggest to extend the pads so that they make only one click and spread the speakers about half inch from the frame of the headband (you should be able to fit a dime in between). Don't...

Aha..

If there's a spot I'd like to bring HD650 and RKV with Cardas Neutrals. I might be able to bring the 777ES, but that depends on the weather conditions on the meet day 8)

Jimmy, best of luck and Happy Birthday .

Damn, I couldn't make it this time Oh, well, at least some of the ears I trust had a chance to be there. What do you guys think about Qualias scalability, how transparent were they to changes in amp/source combos?

Lan, is the space limited to 5 people or it's more of a specific timeframe ? There's a 50/50 chance that I'll be there with 650s.

Yes, please !

Welcome back Kevin, I guess it's no longer "in the air" as jpelg put it. Oh well, I was about to put "Free Grinch" in my sig.

2.39 for a gallon of super (93) in Brooklyn, NY. For those outside of US with the metric system - what do you use for the unit conversion ? One gallon could be either ~3.8 liters (US) or 4.54 (UK). Also I think the octane level formula is different in Europe compared to US. In other words the 91...
