Yep you'll be a happy camper I think. Listening to some William Orbit right thru my bh crack w speedball now at work and they sound absolutely incredible. Congrats on the purchase  

I have both as per my first post, the t90's actually require just a smidge less drive to achieve the same volume. But do yourself a favor and get an amp. My buddy here at work has the 990 pro's on my recommendation and they sounded absolutely awful out of his iphone. He was stoked when he got an...

Thanks, and I hope so. Any info to help out others is always a good thing. I do love some glamour shots as well though. Haha

  Thanks guys, not trying for great pics, just to show what I did. Haha

Not sure if you're talking about the exterior or interior shot. I removed the metal keeper that held the stock cable and then used a file to enlarge the stock entry cable hole for the jack. I had to use a dremel to grind down the nut on the jack to get clearance for the driver to sit flush on...

Hey guys, just got the some t90's in over the weekend. Love them, just what I was expecting coming from some 990 pros. I had some mini xlr's lying around from a balanced setup I was going to do on my he-400's but the room in those was very very tight, so I stayed stock setup leaving me the mini...

This build was a fun one. And requires patience since ordering the transformers took about 6-7 weeks for delivery. Well worth it. Lots of power, and sounds great. Anyone thinking about building one, go for it. Tubes are still readily available if you know where to look. Check antique radio...

Well guys, she's fixed! I can't believe a working led (lit up) could cause all of my problems. Glad to have this thing dialed in now. Thanks for everyone's help

Hey man, just thought I'd throw this in. Listening to my HE-400's right now with this amp and it's drives them just fine. And that's with my phone straight to the amp. With a dac, it's even better in terms of power output since the dac puts out a stronger line signal than a phone. I think I like...

I think I've found the problem guys!!! I reflowed the whole board and that didn't fix it. So I left the case open and took a pencil and used the eraser to start tapping on things. Got to D10 the front led (which was lit) tapped on it, and got a loud pop...and along with the pop the hiss would...

Hey guys, got a chance today to a least check resistance values from the left tube socket to adjacent pads and resistors. All tube socket measurements check out at 0hms to adjacent pads and all resistor values check out as well. All continuity checks for left side are good as well. Just learned...

I am definitely going to have a long hard look at the left tube socket. As you said something might be odd with it. I did manage to break my telefunken in the left tube socket yesterday (cracked it around the pins). Think it was just a coincidence since I have no trouble getting tubes in or out...

  OK thanks Doug. I would assume I should only be changing left channel stuff now. I have actually reflowed all joints that look even a little odd but they all look really good. Could this possibly be a bad decoupling/output cap? I have the solen's in right now. If I'm reading the schematic...

OK, well I am absolutely clueless. I did not here a hiss at turn on as usual, and now 10 minutes after my amp has been on, it has made it's unpleasant return. SO I have now changed the pot, changed the zeners, and changed the z switch. What shall I start changing next guys? Like I said I've got...

Thanks Tom. And no need to apologize, stuff like this happens. No big deal. That's exactly what I did when I trimmed it. I know I did the same thing on my mini max and it didn't cause an issue. Either way it's really the only thing that makes sense since the hissing started after my zener...
