At least if you go to your house...we can enjoy some Football (no sound of course).

Also saves me a trip coming to pick up those cables from you. I really do think the 650 cable makes a difference on my 580s. I will let you test it on sunday with the DV.

Ohh my gawd!!! i love the sound of tubes. Im soooooo happy right now, my face hurts from smiling

I think jp, Frank and I decided to make it my place after everyone else left. It saves Frank at least 1/2 hour each way. My wife is out of town so it's a perfect time.

Good news.


Wayne,

You guys were really very polite back then. What the heck happened? I've found rapid fire insults with the occasional accompanying hand gesture to be standard at the five meets I've attended. As a Wendy Wards Crossroads to Charm school graduate, I can only say that you've got a much more degenerate crew on your hands since those long ago days.

Did you notice the attendance list? No tyrion, no stevio, no numbers. Anything else you need to know about the "good" old days? Not that it's so bad now with all of these jackasses hanging around, but you know where I'm going with this, right?

Which F-word? Friendly, fabulous, fortutitous, fatuous, fecundate, frugivore, facetiae...there are simply too many to recall. How is one to keep track?

Glad you're enjoying yourself. I'm pretty pleased with my new mini discovery of the ipod>Larocco>580/G52 combo. I'm in bed listening with only 36 1/2 (yes...I somehow received 1/2 an essay) papers to grade. I'm reeling with F-words here at 12:10AM.

Not trying to take more money now. The DV is yours; the Heed is still mine.

Looks like a great time!

Faceplate imperfections or not, I welcome ANY new electrostat amps. The details on Aristaeus seem kind of scarce, though, such as:

What's the approximate cost?

Can it power Stax and Senn HE90/60?

Is it auto-biasing? (don't see any bias adj pots)

How many of what type of tubes are in there?

Is it tube or SS rectified?

Is it a balanced design and/or have balanced inputs?

Live chat would be a rather dangerous thing for me, and I suspect a few others. You never know what might slip out.

Gary (Guss2) is probably the best to answer these questions. All I did was listen and I liked what I heard. The faceplate was not an issue but for the fact Gary had waited so long. Even with the small problem, it still is a beautiful amp.
