Mine is abysmal if I don't have good music available. And the ritualistic nature of vinyl is calming, when things get stressful. Audio yoga. :)- liamstrain

Thanks! It's an ACHS-1 Panel clock from a Soviet Mig - my cousin in Belarus sent it to me, but they come up on the auction site all the time for ~$75-100.- liamstrain

I think the HDR went a bit overboard. A quick side by side tweak. If you don't mind my doing so. Original on the bottom.- liamstrain

I see what he means though - it's like there is some HDR attempt at knocking down the specular highlights in the sun and clouds (especially noticeable where the sky meets the trees on the top left), and it's causing some weirdness. Sadly - sometimes a shot you really want just doesn't work out...- liamstrain

New transformers should be arriving in the next day or two. I'll try to get an updated shipping date from Steve once he's got it in his hot little hands. Thanks for your patience! L- liamstrain

Electro Magnetic Amplifier Co. 535SE Headphone Amplifier/Preamplifier
So far nothing drastic - we might add a switch to change between pre-amp and headphone out, rather than using the switching jack. Our transformer supplier has also changed some dimensions, so we are going to have to redesign the board a bit to accommodate. I'm sure as we go through development...- liamstrain

Electro Magnetic Amplifier Co. 535SE Headphone Amplifier/Preamplifier
We're glad too. :) So, 535SE is a bit complicated. The first iteration of amps had a production dimension that had some element .515 inches from the top of the amp. Steve liked the number, so it became the 515. Next circuit became the 525, and now we are at the 535. The SE could either be...- liamstrain

They are lovely. We actually use them as input transformers (they are microphone transformers). Our output is in the Bipolar followers attached to the enormous custom heatsink.- liamstrain

EMAC 535SE Impressions Thread
Last bits being delivered this morning (yay shipping delays). Since these are solid state, there should not be noticeable 'burn-in' changes. We do run them for a period to test the primary chips and make sure no magic blue smoke is trying to escape, if there will be any audible change due to...- liamstrain

Not necessarily. We have a few orders that were cancelled due to our delay, so we'll have a number available from the first run. I just don't know when the input transformers will be delivered for those units, so I don't want to promise an availability date yet.- liamstrain

...(and we've had enough of those, thank you) - we are expecting that a couple units will ship out at the end of the month, with the remaining units shipping in the second week of November.* At that point we will revisit the timeline for the next production run and consider re-opening sales.- liamstrain

Thanks Ripley. I'll keep you posted on what we can figure out. Massdrop couldn't allow us to delay any longer, per their agreement - which I totally understand. I'll try to keep people updated as we go forward.- liamstrain

Your frustration is understandable. I am sorry. I'm in problem solving mode, working to figure out how to get these built and shipped as soon as we can. Most all parts are in, but we are still missing a few key components, and hope to get those in soon. Some did have to be bought in bulk, but...- liamstrain

Nice! That's most of what I collect and use these days as well. I have several dozen GEC's with a handful in regular rotation. Today I'm carrying a mid 1940s (est). Shapleigh HDW Diamond Edge barlow, and a new GEC beagle.- liamstrain
