    Best amp built around 6GM8?

    Quote: Originally Posted by tomb Yep. Suffice to say that it may be the highest quality tube available at these voltages - period. EDIT: If I'm not mistaken, Runeight's EHHA uses the 6GM8. According to dBel, it may be the highest quality hybrid available. The Sigma is a definite...

    Oregon - interested in a summer 2007 meet?

    I can make if it's after July 19th. I'll bring one of these (pics). You haven't heard one before.

    Case suggestions

    Alien DAC v1.1 Construction Thread

    I finally got around to populating two of my boards from the 2nd group buy today after free time suddently manifest. Both work great, though one malfunctioned due to some solder bridges on the 2702 and a mistake soldering the oscilator connections. I'd like to case them up with some...

    opamp output impedance, how to calculate?

    It's roughly the intrinsic output impedance (~170 Ohms seems reasonable for this opamp) divided by the loop gain. This results in approximately 170/200,000=850 uOhm at low frequency for a unity gain follower version of this opamp.

    Can't decide between hd580 and Grados

    HeadFi conventional wisdom isn't always right. In this case, IMO, the presumption that Grado is much better Sennheiser for rock/metal is greatly exagerated. Because I followed the flock, I went through the following progression MS1 to 325i to 325i w/ cpads to HD600. (I still have all of...

    Yet another Oregon meet...

    The 19th means I'm out since I'll be out of town until the 20th. Have fun

    upsampling highend dac project

    It's nice to see someone who wants to tackle an ambitious project. PLLs can attenuate jitter on the incoming clock. They typically have a lowpass loop characteristic that filters the incoming jitter. However, lowering the 3dB frequency of the PLL's loop filter to reduce the incoming jitter...
