Looks like you all had a great meet.  Hopefully I can make [or possibly host] the next one.  Nice pictures as well. :)

Though it is kind of cool, 1 dinky little tube will never do the same job that 2, 4, or 13 tubes will do in a desktop amp with a proper power supply.  Battery life and size should be the primary considerations with a portable amp, unless it is your only system.

I'm just going to paste my reply to another, very similar, topic.   I really like my Roland R-05 so far, though it is a little more pricey that the equivalent units from Zoom. I used it to take a live recording of a gig my girlfriend had recently using the built in binaural microphones and...

I really like my Roland R-05 so far, though it is a little more pricey that the equivalent units from Zoom.  I used it to take a live recording of a gig my girlfriend had recently using the built in binaural microphones and the quality really surprised me.  Recording at 24bit / 96khz is nice as...

Mikhail from SinglePower also had a portable tube amp that he used to bring to audio shows, but I don't think they ever went in to production.

Very cool build.  I especially like the volume 'knob', though I think I would have pointed it up and put it on top.  :)

Rob (royjones), Nice to see you are still on here buddy. You'll have to come out to my next meet. It's been too long. - Jay Quote: Originally Posted by les_garten How do you make different Grados? Well, you missed a couple that I am aware of there, and I'm certainly no...

I've talked with Rhydon personally about this mod and I think those that have ordered will be pleasantly surprised. Though I haven't ordered a pair my self, I can't wait to hear them at the next Toronto meet... which, assuming I can get my act in gear, should be sooner than later.

Will do, and I extend that invitation to you as well Art.

Happy Birthday Ryan... I'll be joining you at 30 in November.

I've got a bunch of cards to sell if I ever get around to going through them. Started playing when The Dark was released and stopped around the time of the Urza sets or a bit before... though I did start playing a couple times after that as well. So a bit of a strange mix of cards. I used to...

Technical explanation aside, from a usability point of view I have to agree with Edwood on the switch. If you are using the DA10 or DA11 as a DAC only, then you are just setting the output level that your separate amplification will be then handling, so it is no issue... but if you are trying to...
