Audio volume controls are usually logarithmic taper.

I have come across some that have the letter "A" on them for audio taper, some sellers I have run into on Ebay do not specify.

@Paladin79 did you hear about the new Sonus Faber system? Only problem is, I don't know what you'd do with the included car...

LOL well I would most likely drive that included car. I do not like to guess what a system sounds like but that review is certainly positive. I have never paid much attention to car audio but I might in this case.

Ha! Quite the 'car' -- per Car & Driver...

"The Trofeo represents the pinnacle of the lineup's performance courtesy of a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6 that's a detuned version of the MC20's engine. In the Grecale Trofeo it makes 523 horsepower and 457 pound-feet of torque. Maserati says that will propel it from zero to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds en route to a 177-mph top speed."

Who ever thought you'd see SUV's from the likes of Maserati, Lamborghini, Porsche, etc. ?

Guess they're more heavy on the S than the U

For a long time, I've referred to such vehicles as SLVs for Sports Luxury Vehicles. The original Carryall, predecessor to the Suburban, was designed to haul five or six sweaty construction workers and their gear to and from job sites. Who's willing to try that with their Maserati or even a lowly Escalade?

The new Cadillac Escalade V will do 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds while weighing 6500 lbs. Crazy. Of course it costs $154,000 and according to my dealer orders are already filled.

Funny. Toronto issues severe heat warnings above 30 degrees, if sustained for more than 3 days.

Since we're talking heat...

I checked and I do not have anything the length you are seeking @tralsa, I had some with pigtails but that only adds another foot or two to a six foot cable. Blue Jeans is a company you can trust.

Thank you so much for checking! I really appreciate it. I have some Blue Jeans interconnects, I'll check this out.

Checked my e-mail this evening, there's a note from Schiit that my FV has shipped! Tracking says I'll have in on Wednesday, 7/6, upgraded from the original anticipated date of 7/8! The Gungnir I ordered is supposed to be here on Saturday so I'll have time to let it warm up a bit before the big FV debut.

So psyched!

Nice upgrades! Gungnir + FV will be an awesome rig.

If @Paladin79 can't fix you up, Blue Jeans Cable makes very nice headphone extension cables with quality connectors in any length that you want. Modest prices too. They made a 6 foot extension cable with a Canare 1/4 TRS male on one end & a Rean 1/8 TRS female on the other for my HD 6XX.

+1 for bjc. They quickly quoted and made the balanced to single ended interconnects I mentioned needing a couple weeks ago to go from my loki max to the folkvangr I'm receiving Sunday...

I think you'll like Gungnir. I hope all the Folkvagner customers like their amps as much as @Jason Stoddard likes his.

Thank you Paladin79 and Sam6650a for the updates.

Thank you Paladin79 and Sam6650a for the updates.

You are most kind and of course Sam gave you better information.

My black Folkvangr arrives tomorrow. Super excited! Going to pair it with the Utopias to start.

I can remember things like that, but my wife says I cannot remember things that she asks me to do.

That pairing should be magnificent!!

 

[critmonkey94]

Thank you I am looking forward to this pairing. I find the utopias to have some mid high sibilance when running solid state but is much more resolved with some tube sizzle going through it. Thoroughly enjoyed my time with a WA3 and WA22. Expecting the Folkvangr to bring in some heat!
