Good info! I picked up an AKM DS Gungnir recently with a "C" serial (build date unknown) - seems they used the "C" serial for both initially then.

I thought the AKM DS version serial started with a "C" ... - serial "C" - AKM DS - serial "06" - MB A1 rev - serial "B" - MB A2 rev - serial "L" - MB A2 rev w/o VXCO There are supposedly a few "06" serials with a silent MB A2 rev, and then something referred to as "bleached", but without...

Fortune and luck are often the modest man's way of saying that he busted his hump every step of the way. Usually goes hand-in-hand with whole heartedly welcoming opportunity across the threshold whenever it comes knocking. Keep on keeping on Tom, you are an inspiration! (whether you want to be...

Asgard 3 is as described and sounds great :) Thank you for a smooth and easy transaction, much appreciated!

Damn fine looking resin/stabilzed Atrium you've got there! Listening to Folkvangr work it's magic on a pair of stabilized Maple Atrium's as I type this :)

Any idea how the Mimic Audio orders are handled in comparison to the Modhouse direct orders? I ordered through Mimic on Nov 11 during Dallas CanJam, but not a peep since then.

The graphic was sourced from SBAF and is based on the jargon that has been defined and used frequently over there. I lurk SBAF for information, but come to Head-Fi for information and, perhaps more importantly, socialization. The Head-Fi crowd is a bit more tolerant of the tongue-in-cheek...

Most likely this mod.

Excellent interview, thank you @L0rdGwyn for doing this!

And that Caldera pads are Left and Right side specific. The pad contours both front to back and top to bottom. Having the seam at the bottom allows orientation without explicit markings. To my knowledge the rest of the ZMF pad lineup can be used on either side equivalently. Contours from front...
