A cap is intoxicating in the power supply? Are you sure you aren't drunk now?

Aren't the glite supposed to be very transparent? A bassier source should probably be a better tweak to your system.

Seem to be the wrong way to go, to buy an amp almost without colouration, and then tweak it to affect colouration, thus loosing it's greatest merit.

EDIT: Isn't the HD600 a rather neutral headphone?

neutral headphone + neutral transparent amp != bassy sound.

or is the sound completely bass anemic?

Beefy,
Yes, P.S is a BIG factor. OH man, its really hard to explain to someone that knows nothing about electronics. But "thinks" he knows. Scary...
Question Beefy, have you ever held a solder?

Unfortunately you cannot intelligently answer anything except for "Pot upgrade would be the biggest difference because it is alot of expense" Dont you think so? Quote in quote.

Cant you have any input that's helpful that doesnt come from anyone else. OH, because you know nothing.... Except for maybe you have this amp and it hurts you when I say that the stuff in there is pretty cheap

Would you want to argue that's its expensive? BEcause I'll give you links where you can buy them and maybe it will hurt you more. That's my point again you can improve with better parts.

Atleast were trying to help Don here try to improve it. ha?

BTW, a good TKD pot will cost you almost all the mods I recommended

Its sad that you didnt knw that. Its a great product though.

But Ok, ill try my best to explain in lamens term. Your signal looks for power especially on transients. That's why you want a Stiff PS to provide the proper swing. Weak PS wont have steady voltage to provide for demand. The Caps in the power supply is where it stores the energy/power/voltage reserves. To throw out once the signal asks for it. So you need CLEAN reserves per se. And yes ITS definitely a factor and anyone that's says it doesnt. Doesnt know anything. Just like you

Sorry to rag on your incompetency but dont talk when you dont know anything

Why dont you listen to the others and you might improve your setup rather than just complain.

Don just asked what mods or improvement he can do with his amp? And you tell him that's a stupid question??? I think your answers are stupid.

Tahtah and learn before you comment.

Misterx im 100% sure theyre Mylar. I got tons of these. Thanks for the pics.

Anyhow, this will be my last post here because this is heading no where.

The hd600s are quite transparent as are the gilmore lite. They might just not have the perfect synergy in terms of power( or something in the technical realm I feel) because the glites being a little thin sounding with the hd600s vs my integrated amp. After all someone did mention that the glites were originally designed for 32 ohm cans. They do detail much better than my integrated though.

This is why I was thinking to post this in the DIY section to see if someone has had this problem. It could also be that the perfect balance which is neutral to my ears are the slightly boosted bass of my integrated (maybe around 3db boosted the most) and that something with a little fatter sound like a tube amp (darkvoice?) will be better for me. As for now what Victorio is saying sounds very enticing

I have 5 bags of poly caps that look just like those.
Oh well, not like it's a big deal or anything.

I've been doing electronics of some sort as a hobby for almost 20 years, and only just switching into DIY audio. While I am far from professing to be an expert, I'm plenty smart enough to know when someone is just blowing steam.

He got his answer in the second post. You were the one who thought it a good idea to come in and 'educate' all of us in your first Head-Fi post.

Ah, something we can all enjoy.

Wow, just wow.

Thanks for stopping by and telling me that I don't know what I'm talking about, essentially calling me (and several others) a fool and taking the time to educate me on the cure-all that Blackgates are.

Welcome to Head-Fi, please take your attitude and audiofool cluttered brain somewhere else. I stand by my previous statement, your goal is to waste money, not improve the sound, so go for it.

P.s. You're right, I know nothing about the power supply being the foundation of any good amp...

How is the Menace going? Haven't heard much about it recently!

 

[Victorio]

Ok, OK last post (I just couldnt stand it). Wahahaha. I'd really be embarrased
to post those pictures If I were you. wahahaha. Grounding your AC filter to your mains is ridiculous. WAHAHAHA. What an idiot. No offense pls. but wahaha, I just cant help it. You shouldnt even be in this sight trying to give advice with your pathetic skills. LOL. This is hilarous. ROTFLOL! WAHAHA. Sorry cant help it. Your dangerous to the guys you give advice to. One word short.

Ok, just wanted to let you know that my coupling cap can buy your whole system. Yes 2 capacitors. So dont show me ****. wahahaha. My speakers probably is more than your trailer park home. wahahaha.
Sorry but I was nice on my 1st couple of post until you the idiot had to act up. I even wanted Peace. But no, I had to be drunk by saying that BG caps are good. LOL

Tahtah.

Oh, and in case you don't, welcome to my ignore list.

 

[donunus]

Actually, I'm asking Victorio to build me a 220 volt power supply as an alternate to the 110 volt dps that I have. I'll report on the sound in the amp section when I get it.

You may see some benefit from a better power supply, but I wouldn't expect a "huge" change unless you were using some POS step-up trafo. In that case the DPS would hardly be at fault.

Yes, that was pretty silly but was fixed quickly.

As for the rest of your post..... I bet your parents are real proud

Why don't you put the time and the effort into a real top-shelf amp, instead of trying to make something that you are not happy with work?

With all the stuffing round you do, you could have bought something very special.

Not really. As I indicated, there is not much difference in sound, mainly cleaner/more refined. That amp was built on a headamp V2 board, back when justin used to sell PCBs, so the PSU and everything is on the same board. I don't have any really high impedance cans like Senns (AKG K601s are the highest I use).

 

[indikator]

chill guys chill, down to earth will bring you more friends and wisdom

so is blackgate a no no for PS? what spot do guys recommend it for?


ps. from what I've learned, if you are not happy with a design then move up to better one, save the premium parts for the ultimate design
