I am continually awed by the dedication to audio by peeps on this site.

Full on respect..

This is more of a dedication to tubes than audio itself. It's a vintage B&K tube tester I'm working on for a friend. Of course the tubes serve the audio, so there's that.

It uses this 6BN8 that contains a pair of diodes and a triode all in one little noval tube. Very bad things happen when the getter holder breaks off and shorts stuff together. So far, a cap, a resistor, and 2 pots are toast....and I'm not done yet. But I *will* be victorious...even if it kills me.

Well everyone here is as talented as Risitas, especially my cart driver Mr Bcowen.

RIP.

Pretty sweet! Make us all jealous. Fine.

This is what I'm listening to right now, and it doesn't sound very good.

@bcowen was that gear in the golf cart when it entered the lake, or is there another explanation?

It was in the bunker where the dame was lining up for a big drive.

Yes, unfortunately. I was attempting to fix @UntilThen 's Akai that was stuck in a twin frown configuration when we hit the water. Stupid me...I just assumed as old as that Akai is that it had tubes in it.

My Dekoni Elite Hybrid ear pads arrived a few days early, and I just popped them on my Sundara's. No pics were taken because they look almost the same as the stock pads except they are just a tad thicker on the thick end of the pad, maybe a 0.25" thicker at most. The Dekoni pads also don't really feel all that much softer than the stock pads, BUT... So far, they are much more comfortable.

Lastly, even though the frequency response is supposed to remain virtually the same as stock, bass extension and impact do seem to have increased just a little bit, which is a good thing.

Just for fun, here's one pic I did take, exposing the nice large magnetic planar driver in the Sundara's. Nice!

My end game for DAC/EQ/Amps for a long time to come.
Of course headphones are a whole different matter.
