    Raptor owners

    After reading this thread, I had to check. I get a slight whirring sound from the power supply only when I turn the unit on. I have to be close (12 inches or so, without headphones on) to the power supply to even notice it. After a few minutes when I am ready to listen to headphones, I can't...

    eBay: Stax "dummy head recording" CD

    There was one member who briefly had part (the good part) of a Stax Binaural CD on his web site last December, and is now trying to get official permission to distribute it as it is still copyrighted. A few lucky members were able to get the download. See this link: Stax Test & Set-up CD -...

    Anybody knows any good sites for good quality listening with headphones?

    I listen to Shoutcast.com a lot, most at 128, lots of stations at 192, some broadcasting even up to 320 bitrate. Thousands of stations and most genres. Their home page says "SHOUTcast is Nullsoft's Free Winamp-based distributed streaming audio system". Also, google on shoutcast for additional...

    RSA Raptor

    Quote: Originally posted by Ferbose Raptor has what I consider a "neutral, clean" tube sound. It actually sounds not too different from good SS amps, but quite different from very tubey amps like Singlepower PPX. Of all the exotic amps I have heard at meets, Raptor would be my top choice...

    Raptor Set-Up?

    I have seen on other posts it is recommended to place the power supply to the right of the amp (looking from the front), keeping the transformers away from the RCA inputs. That's also the way it's shown on RSA's website. As you've probably gathered the power supply should be fairly accessible as...

    Ordering Chip Amps

    You might try diyaudio.com under the chip amp forum. I don't have the links handy, but there are other diy suppliers of kits in Europe I think. Try to search that forum, there is a lot of good info there. I built one of BrianGT's kits before and am very pleased!

    Good Enclosure Manufacturers

    I recently used some extruded aluminum cases from http://www.lmbheeger.com/products.asp?catid=68 to make a pair of GainClone monoblocks and separate power supply. The cases fit together well, but are also kind of plain looking. I was really looking for some of the Conrad Cases from...

    FYI: rebranded Shanling S100/ MH CD25 for $300

    I bought one of these Onix CD players last week after thinking about a MH CD25 for a long time. I am burning it in now, but it sounds great out of the box. It's very well built, especially compared to the current crop of cheaper DVD units. I am very happy and with a 30 day trial and a 3 year...

    Where to buy braided shielding?

    I noticed some at Action electronics while placing an order for some cable last week. It's more expensive than ripping old coax apart, but it looks nice and has 95% shield coverage. It's tinned copper. http://www.action-electronics.com/braid.htm
