This is my first post in many years. Also a longtime ER4P user/fan. Just ordered ER2SE from Adorama. Thanks for the sale link! I am super curious how the DD compares to BA.

poormxdad,   I don't have the same meter, but if it is anything like mine and set to 200 ohm range, a reading of one ohm should read 1.0 with precision to one tenth (especially since the good driver shows 31.5). When the probes are not touching anything does it also just display a 1? Mine...

poormxdad,   When you measure across the pads of the non working driver and get a reading of 1, where is the decimal point on the display?   I have a cheap meter with a four digit display that reads 1 when the resistance is out of range or when there is an open circuit (as when the probes...

Here's my Sony D555 from about 1989. I was still a teenager back then. This with a pair of Grado SR200s served me well for a long time.

How does the S3 behave with regards to ringtones and system/notification sounds while playing music through a USB DAC?  Will the DAC mute and the phone ring or will I hear the ring etc through my headphones or speakers?  Will I need to disconnect the DAC to answer a call?   Thanks.

I'm interested in this question as well.  They're both async USB with headphone out and line out.  The Meridian handles 24/192 with their driver while the HRT is plug and play but only 24/96.  According to HRT the Microstreamer has no caps on the headphone out and has a nice low 0.5ohm output...

Quote:   Thanks, I guess I will go ahead and build the amp.  I had heard of electrolytic caps going bad after being left on the shelf for a while, but was unsure how long was too long.

Hi, I have a MiniMax kit from Beezar.com that has been sitting in my stuff to do pile for a while.  In the meantime I was busy getting married and renovating an apartment to move into.  It's probably been sitting untouched for 3+ years.  Are the electrolytic caps still good to use or should I...

I've been happily using my SR200s for the last 17 years. These HF2s look like an interesting upgrade, but I'm not sure how the sound has evolved over the years since the Joe Grado models. Anyone have any thoughts on how the HF2s would sound in comparison to the SR200s?

i just ordered one from buy.com but there are very few left.

I don't usually plan so far in advance, but will reserve the date. I have a Millett MiniMax and a Hagerman Chime waiting to get finished.

Hi there, long time lurker here. I'd be interested in attending a DIY meet. Will check back for updates.
