It was wonderful last year. I am in.

Thanks CEE TEE for putting tremendous effort into making this event possible and the fact that you lended me a power cord really saved my day!!!

purrin,   Thanks for your kind words!   After hearing your W1000x, I know what I am missing.   Oh, I still live in the Bay Area   Quote: Some quick impressions:    

Count me in. Will bring at least the following equipment: 1. Balanced B22 2. Sennheiser HD600 3. Audio-Technica AD900 4. Mini^3 5. Shanling CD3000 CD player

Thanks for the clarification.

The picture you posted indicates Coax/Toslink input and output. But the picture shown here doesn't have such: http://www.audioholics.com/news/press-releases/adl-gt40-usb-dac-furutech/image_view_fullscreen   Which one is correct?

Congrats on your Caliente!   May I ask what sort of trouble you had emailing me? You got bounced mails?

The B22 requires that the output ground be isolated from the enclosure/AC ground, but that nice looking gold 1/4" jack doesn't meet that requirement.

You might also want a desolder pump, even better with a Teflon tip.

Money sent. Position 66

Replied to Voltron's PM. I will be there, although I am not sure if I can bring anything - it'd be a balanced B22 if I can meet the deadline.

sign me up

I disagree with some of the grading/classification here. If CK2III is considered Mid level, then so is M3.

Thank you for your kind words!

x2. I owe him more than just beer

a magnifying lamp is indispensable -- at least for these aging eyes ;-(

It appears that you use silver thermal compound. If so, be careful with that stuff because it is conductive so avoiding getting it on the pins.
