Does anyone know more about the Daystrom Nimchimen 12AU7? I did a Google search and only came up with a Toshiba made valve. Is that right? I'm listing with Grado SR80i cans, a TCC phono pre and early 70s pioneer TT. Thanks all!! Sam

Going to see Motley Crue this Saturday.  I have access to some generic foam plugs in town, or whatever Amazon can get me quick.  I've been told they are measuring in around 130dB sustained with periods of louder (peaking at around 138-140).   YES, I'm doing this on purpose.   That said...

DUDE!!  Check your eyes.....  "The winner will be chosen by Todd and Pete, and announced Saturday night in the CanJam room at RMAF.  You need not be present to win..."

First off...this amp looks AWESOME!  No doubt it sounds just as awesome!   Given your previous names....Pinnacle (a National Park and also describing a peak of a mountain), and Teton (a mountain range inside a National Park...namely Yellowstone), I'm going to have to stick with that...

Absolutely! Shoot me a pm with your email address and let's get these to you! Can't imagine would cost much.

OK, so the question is a couple months old...but here goes.  I have a set in my drawer.  I just took them out to try in my iphone as well as my tower with the beats audio sound card.  I used to use them in a sound booth for recording as well as live events.  Emphasis on the live sound as they...

Cool guys, thanks a lot!!

It amazes me how not-well these things fit my ear.  I know they are made for the masses...but has anyone else noticed that every 5 minutes you find yourself pushing them further into your ear canal?  I do.  And I hate it.  The bass starts getting thin...voices get thin...then I realize they are...

I have to say...lossless sounds much better anything I have heard through the built in speakers on my iPhone 3GS. Just sayin'! Lol. Ok. Couldnt resist. Off to bed. :p

Hey there everyone!  I just stumbled upon what looks to be a new product.  An iPod/iPhone dock that is a DAC built in.  Has digital and analogue outs, as well as video.   I searched here at Head-Fi, didn't see anything posted, so thought I'd start a new thread.   Here is a link to their...

Hmmm, so right now I'm envisioning a PocketDoc device that connects iPod to DAC via USB. Then balanced out to amp. ...rather than RCA or 1/4".

Gotcha!  So computer for tunes, into a USB e-mu unit, into the amp, to the cans, to the ears...whew...maybe I DO need a road case! 

I would like to be somewhat portable...not airplane portable necessarily as most of my travel and overnight stay I drive to...but would like a system that I can pack up, yes, including the Crack Amp, and take with in the car.  That said, that PCI piece is nice, but I travel with a laptop...  The...
