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...

Only read 2 pages of the thread, but you might want to consider putting it in an external hdd case and try hooking it up to a friends computer. Depending on what is wrong with it, you may be able to access your files that way. I've never heard of the freezer trick, but I would do a lot of...

I've been teasing for a meet at my new place for a while... well, it is a different new place now, and though it doesn't have the stellar party room it is a lot bigger. I might host one, though I'll wait to see what pans out in this and other threads [as well as through PM] before I commit. I'd...

Ah, a fresh thread on the K340s. That was a fun read. Glad to see that people are still enjoying them.

Toronto is the center of the country, what are you guys going on about? I'm in depending on when it is. Won't be able to bring my source or amp unless someone else from the Toronto area feels like carting me around. My girlfriend, Rachel, might be interested in coming as well since she went...

Nice score Mercuttio!
