I'm gonna type this in the hopes no one reads it. ppl's portable amp design is the one amp I like Grados on more than a well-built primo Szekeres. And it's portable. (kinda) It's a biased opamp buffered with a machine gun... in the original it was 825 into 2008s, but I had a CRD fail and took...

If I hear about how cool another unit looks one more time, I might snap and kill someone. If the only thing you can say about a piece of gear is "it looks cool" then your opinion is about as useless as it is in an art gallery. (don't confuse only and best... sometimes "it looks cool" is the BEST...

Hey, This is part of a thread that existed at my other home, but now... anyway... Imagine a 555 timer that controlled an electric chair that you personally sat in. No, that's not the application but I need it to be on your mind. This 555 timer sometimes triggers on power up, sometimes...

Hi kids, as you know I haven't been around a lot, I finally decide it's time to post, I post on HeadWize and wham, he goes offline. Here's to pressing your luck. http://directory.google.com/Top/Scie...d_Data_Sheets/ It's your standard http://dmoz.org open directory search, but this is...

Welcome my son... welcome... to... the machine. I saw the future today, staring in disbelief... was at K-Mart in Astor Place... there's SELF SERVE CHECKOUTS. I kid you not; a very small station with a LCD, a barcode scanner, and a credit card swiper. You scan your stuff, you bag your...

Y'know, I think it's time some of us went postal on them!. I dunno, maybe I called my carrier a moron one too many times and it's personal... the guy will try to stuff 8 magazines rolled up into an apartment mailbox.. takes 10 minutes to get them out, and they're shreadded!... Anyway, I...

Man, they're sexy. Every WW I/II movie or classic spy movie you've ever saw had at least one Verdier in it, probably a Radio-Techna with tubes stickin out and squelchy noise dubbed in.... "come in, double-oh-seven" Anyway, find me a cheap one at a yard sale. $20 or so, but in restorable...

1) The headphones look extremely like the Dolby headphones. 2) The artist doesn't check on an LCD too... the antialiasing on the small text destroys it for LCD use. It's tolerable, but just so ya know.

Straight from the Chief HeadWizer, tomorrow's the day.

That's the catch, just 5... so think about it. And no throwing in your favorite band's album if they don't have a best of, that's cheating. Best of's have the advantage of spanning time, and tracks are selected by popularity... so if someone that's never heard em doesn't like it, chances are...

ppl gets the credit for this, but since he's insane and many people can't understand his writings... As many of you know, I've tried alot of opamps. Probably 40. Many of them sound good, some sound dreadful, but some have exceptional traits... there's a certain something to the sound of many...

Form your own opinion, but I think there's some validity to this... http://www.cco.caltech.edu/~boyk/spectra/spectra.htm

I know everyone wants to play with the features, and hey have fun! But keep in mind thread ratings... later in life, when there's thousands of threads and very high traffic, it will be a GREAT feature for those unlike us who read every post.

(God only knows what the actual count is) It's 2am, this is gonna ramble a bit. A few people have stuck hansen's pcb in the ET version of the HML-9VB PacTec case, to fit 2 9Vs in there. That's a killer idea, but the hansen board still takes up as much "floor space" and limits what caps...

Just so we're clear here, don't make me say this again. Out of a big ole box of headphones: Grado: RS1s, 325s, 125s, 80s, Music Series One. Beyer: 770s, 990 Pros, 831s, 931s. Senns: 495s, 580s, 590s, 600s. AKG: 240s, K55s, K66s. Koss: A200s, R80s. Sony: 7506s, 7509s, CD2000s. Plus 10...

We're still missing so many people. Even people that I know I told, haven't shown up. I'll take care of spamming those individuals, but I mostly had the DIY crowd's addresses. If they want to "hold out" or whatever to see what's gonna happen in all this, fine. But people, go knock on some...

To save myself much email attachments...

While I setup a server in .ru to spam Nintendo with 1.2M messages a day, I could use some reverse engineering help with GB Advance. The stupid (insert bad word here) still didn't put in backlighting... batteries be damned, I NEED BACKLIGHTING or the thing is totally worthless. Now if the...

Fellow ancient ones, We really need to educate the youngins on some of the stuff they may have missed... the stuff you're sure they've heard some of on oldies stations, especially 50-70s rock. The beginning. I mean, how can you be a complete human without Stones's Sticky Fingers or...
