I paid either US$49 or US$46, can't really recall, for 2 AD797BRZ to be mounted on these Single-to-dual Op-Amp Adapter (p/n 020302).

Yes, there is a square solder pad and it is marked as 1. Sorry for this stupid question, but how do I orientate it? Normally I just follow the semi-circular marking. But in this case there is no such marking on the browndog.

Can anyone tell me how to orientatate the opa AD797BRZ for insertion please? 2 pieces are mounted on one Browdog adaptor, one one top and the other at the bottom. However, the adaptors do not have the semi-circular marking at the edge for me to follow. Thanks.

Sorry wrong post. Mod pls delete. Thank you.

I have been looking for SRD 7 pro or mk 2 for a while and 2 came up for sale in audiogon yesterday. Guess what, both have already been sold. It pains me to see that it was so close yet so far.

You could try kuboten - Craig. Really nice person to deal with.

Is there a full review written somewhere on the different presentations of the 4 electrostatic amps (BHSE, Woo WES, A-10 and Frank Cooter's electrostatic amp) displayed at canjam? There have been comments written here and there but I am unable to find an all in one article/posts review so far. I...

Very generous of you AfriKane! and congratulations to Spritzer.

JaZZ, your woodie lambdas look beautiful. Any write-ups on them after the change? Sorry for the topic deviation.

Isn't it that music is a matter of taste and each has their own preferences? I own both electrostatics and dynamics. I personally prefer the presentation of the electrostatics but will also accept that many will prefer the presentation of the dynamics.

To me, music is a matter of personal preference. Each part of the equipment can make a difference, and a question of percentage. As they always say, "hifi is a slippery road".
