I'm going to go off and get a degree in electrical engineering now, and as a reward to myself at the end I'll splurge for a Liquid Gold, or a Liquid Platinum by then....

 
Don't heckle the leader, or the metal may come next year

But, there's really no way to burn the Carbons for this long which means that you will get them with about 5 minutes of runtime necessary to set the operating points.

So do the Liquid Carbons receive any power age at the board fab level?

Bias, in this case, is the amount of idle current passing through the output stage devices. Does not affect volume. The higher the bias current the longer the amp stays in Class A mode. The big amps have fairly high bias for headphone amps which is why they get pretty hot. The Carbons have much lower bias because they cannot dissipate the power in such a small enclosure. Bias changes over time mostly due to thermal effects and then stabilizes.

At what power does the Carbon leave Class A operation?

Wait, are you in wave/week 1?

Yes - I got in early ...
I wonder why they are being picked-up in Simi Valley, CA?
Thought CA is producing their stuff in Texas...

 

[santacore]

I was a very early buyer. Just got my shipping notice that says it's shipping from Cedar Park, TX. I wish it was from CA, I would have it tomorrow.

 

[runeight]

Gents, the amps are shipping from the Los Angeles area, but the return address is to Cedar Park.

 

[Clemmaster]

Can I just come pick it up
 
I didn't get my notice yet (#495).

Excellent news, thank you again for making a wonderful amp available to the H.F. masses.

I was told this week also. But no email yet.

As Annie would say "there's always tomorrow..."
