I used to keep an Arizona jug like that by my listening station too.

i do the same thing, but i use it for water. they are way sturdier than regular water jugs you buy at the store

@Kramer: I've seen the prices for those Earmax's before on ebay, quite expensive for what it does and it's size. Anything stellar out of it?

The EarMax (I had the AE version which this looks like it might be) was a very nice amp but it didn't really synergize well with the L3000 I had at that point so I sold it

Its a strange little amp.  Everyone loves earmax OTL amps with senns.  No disappointment there.  Great extension at the ends of the spectrum and plenty of bass impact without disrupting the Senn house sound in my HD580.  I LOVE it with my koss A250 though.  The OTL tube "tubbyness" work wonders with the A250 upper midrange coloration its a very "FUN" presentation for jazz, vocals and ambient recordings.  Its one of my fave setups Earmax => A250 for stuff like Carmen Lundy, Rene Marie, Diana Krall, Alan Parsons project, Moody Blues stuff like that.
 
I'm still tweeking around with my Grados.  I think I got it dialed in now though with an impedance adapter.  I only have flat pads though... no bowls which is generally my preference for the added sense of "air" around notes.
 
The other thing is I ditched the stock power supply long ago.  I am using a 51W (20.5V - 2.5A) military surplus power supply to push it.  The amp seems to strain less at louder volumes.  Even with lower impedance cans.  The OEM wall wart supply runs out of steam earlier in the volume knob sweep.
 
FWIW I am running a Sylvania ECC81 in between two AEG/Telefunken ECC86 tubes.  I haven't spent much time tube rolling though.  Theres probably some room for improvement there.

Crummy picture, but whatever. Headphone setup at the front (RS325is to the extreme right, and left is my laptop). Main system is rather obvious lol.

Dido. The first time I clicked into Head-Fi over 5 years ago was in his Kramer Modded KSC75 thread. Good times.

YUP!! absolutely rockin'  a Queen data-stream through the Koss A250 as I type this.  There are better DACs, but I just love the OPA2107 this ones been modded with.  Were you the one who bailed me out on my ill-fated DIY?  I can't remember.  If that was you big thanks!!  Its still going strong and sounding better than ever.  Truth is I never really left, I listen to headphones all the time.  But thanks for the warm welcome back.

LOL you're not the first to recall all that KSC75 hype, that was a lot of fun.  I think I'll be forever linked to those cheap little silver clips.  and yes I still listen to mine all the time.
 
thanks for the warm welcome.

Good eye! I didnt realize it was in the picture!!

After being on AudioKarma and the Gon, I;ve come to realize these two hobbies usually go hand-in-hand. Have you got any?
