Haha I have no desire to go any smaller than the coaster. I'll leave those smaller parts to the robots as my eyes are barely good enough for this project. :grin:

Hi all, Started on my coaster amp today. Attached gives a good representation of the size of the components. They are very small.

Considering that article was written in 2010, it's probably reasonable to assume it doesn't apply anymore. But you should transfer a single record with all three sample rates and listen to them and pick the best sounding one. Nothing wrong with playing around to see what sounds the best.

The standalone motor is interesting. Wonder if that's part of the design or part of the r&d. Doesn't matter really, looks great to me.

Or a grayed out "Pre-Order" button.

Does that take into account the short week next week for the 4th?

Has anyone hooked up a Korg NuTube yet?

I have always been interested in the HIFIMAN headphones. I currently only have the HE-350 and I love the sound signature of it. It would be pretty amazing to go from the entry level to the TOTL headphone.

Yes, it is a 10kOhm pot.

Just finished putting together a NuHybrid and it sounds amazing but I do have an issue. It sounds as if the gain is incredibly high, had to switch from my ethers to my DT 770 250 Ohms just to get a listenable level. The only part different from the BOM is the TKD pot. I looked over the solder...

I know I'm super late but here are my picks: 1. Daft Punk, Random Access Memories 2. Led Zeppelin, Led Zeppelin 3. Santana, Supernatural 4. ZZ Top, Tres Hombres 5. Beastie Boys, Hello Nasty

  Man these are some good bands that I've never heard before. Have anymore suggestions along these lines?

Deleted.

I am looking at upgrading from the Bifrost Multibit to the Gungnir Multibit. The biggest question I have is the Gungnir as loud as the Bifrost when switching between sampling rates? Any thoughts on whether or not this is a worthy upgrade or would it be a small upgrade?   Thanks

Has anyone tried an EL84 yet?

I have extremely efficient speakers and I don't need 100 watts to power them. Not many people build good/adorable solid state amps (not integrated amps) below 100 watts. I'm talking in the 30-45w range. That's what I dislike the most.

This may be approaching heresy but I've started to prefer Tawny Port wines over my old favorite Scotch, Lagavulin.

I assumed not many people have been able to listen to both. Was more looking for people's opinions of them. I've read through some of the Amp sub section articles.    As for cans: LCD-2 and HD 650. Edit: I am thinking about selling the LCD-2s. More than likely the HD 650s will be the ones I...

I am trying to decide between the Oppo HA-1 and the Woo Audio WA7 Fireflies. Both cost around the same. The HA-1 has more features but I am leaning towards the WA7 Fireflies.   Any thoughts about these two amps would be great!

I guess it was a more general question. Would there be a noticeable increase in quality if I upgraded to a better DAC?

I am looking for a DAC to replace my current Modi. I've been thinking about the Bifrost but wasn't sure if it would give me a noticeable upgrade.

They're just too heavy for me to really enjoy them. 

Sounds like I need to sell my LCD-2s and pick up the 650s. Thanks all for the comments!

Honestly, as crazy as this sounds, I like the way my 598s better. They are a lot more comfortable and lighter.

  The LCD-2s are right under the $1k mark. I'm going to post them for sale on here in a couple of weeks. I want to make sure I won't miss them if I sell them. That's interesting. If that is the case then I might not need to upgrade to the 650s at all. Thank you for your service btw.
