For anyone interested in blue LEDs, their history and whatnot, I found this article interesting:

Blue LEDs, and indeed all ultra-bright LEDs, are super cool.

Check out http://www.ledmuseum.org for info.

both of you should sell tix to your Bizarre Animal freak show attractions.

there must be a market for those kinds of shows...somewhere.

but yeah, why is it that blue leds are so damn cool.

thanks for the reading guys!!

Blue is definitely in these days.

Just check out the buttons and affiliated junk on Mac OSX. Blue is cool. Especially glowy, shiny blue things.

Hey, Nanahachi, good to see another Berkeley head-fier! I had given up hope that I would find another one, despite seeing many people with ksc-35s, 50's or portapros out on the streets.

 

[kin3tix]

well he did post in your thread about Berk. or bay area head-fiers..

a blue led definitely made my meta42 sound an infinite amount better in double blind testing.

 

[nanahachi]

andrzejpw, im SO glad you said that...

im having JMT build my META42 around the BLUE LED, its a must...screw all the other parts....well, j/k.

i am a berkeley resident (i will post again to that thread lobster), and love J5. anyone catch their show at the Fillmore sunday or monday last month? their website is actually pretty decent for video clips, mp3s, etc. esp if you are a part of their street team...i got to hear the whole album a week before release. so good, SOOOO GOOD.

I've always wondered if a truly balanced dual mono amplifier would need three power supplies. One for each channel, and one for the LED.

 

[andrzejpw]

lol! That would be amazing, an LED having its own battery pack, etc.

i wonder if antness would make a 3-piece gilmore amp...

1) amp components
2) power supply
3) Blue LED
