My wife is already getting suspicious - I've got about 2 - 3 weeks of build time before she reaches her limit. That's where my current rig helps

I think I need to take my time on this one. It's got higher voltages than the GES.

I may do something different with the power supply (soft start vs. delay and relay on the HT). I'm just about done with the BOM and then ordering / waiting will take a bit of time. I'm going to layout / etch my own boards too. All together I think I'm looking at about two+ months.

If all goes well, it should be done and broken in by the Fall meet.

I think I'm gearing myself up to build the Blue Hawaii from Kevin Gilmore. I've done a lot of the pre-work, but I don't see how I can have it done by the meet.

something to look forward to in the fall then.

Is anyone bringing an Electrocompaniet ECD-1 or North Star m192? I know that several people have been interested in comparing. I have both, but maybe not for long, and I probably won't be able to bring that much gear anyway. However, if someone brings one, I might bring the other.

If I can make it (still in negotiations) I'll be bringing the following:

Source:
Arcam CD 73
Hertsens DAC

Amp:
The Menace

Cans:
Modified HF-1s

If space permits I'll bring a small budget rig consisting of my laptop feeding a y1 DAC through a Millett Starving Student Hybrid.

I should know in an week or so if I'm free to roam. Not sure spending the night is in the cards but I'll be bummed if I don't get to grab a glass of juice with my NYC hommies.

I'l do it!

[jsedgwick]

So who's gonna have PS1000s? HD800s perhaps?

 

[wavoman]

I'll be there.

HP: beyer 880/600 MANUFAKTUR, split entry mod / balanced by Larry headphile (Darth)
HP: Senn 600s with Zu balanced cable

Amp -- drives both of these at once. New (custom) QES Labs (Italy) dual balanced reference HP amp. Hi imped. cans only (> 200 Ohms). First one in the U.S. Amazing SQ IMHO.

DAC: Benchmark 1 (balanced out). Early model, no USB

Source: dunno yet, prob. B&O CDP with S/PDIF into the Benchmark.

UpstateGuy and I want to do some serious blind cable tests on S/PDIF digital, etc. Listeners needed!

Yes, I would stoop so low as to listen to that.

Also, if my KGSS DX is repaired by then, it has an HE90 jack, which could make for interesting comparisons.

Hi V,

Have a Big Blackgatted KGSS which sings with Stax O2's but loses out to the Orpheus amp with the HE90. All in the synergy my friend.
