Pelican 1400 Case for transporting the SR-009 (and the TH-900). In case owners are looking for secure transportable cases :-
 
 

 
 
 
 

Spoiler: OT%3A%20And%20the%20same%20case%20for%20the%20Fostex%20TH-900

Definitely thinking about the Pelican case.
 
Oh, and in 2 - 4 weeks (whenever Jack decides to get my 009s I just threw money at him for) I'll have my LL + 009. My poor wallet.

MorbidToaster, nice! Wrap that up with an LCD3 and Liquid Glass and you're all set

Turntable first, then a new car, then we'll talk.

New car after new source, yep, sounds reasonable

 

[MorbidToaster]

It's funny because the new source is gonna cost damn near what the new (used) car is.
 
I've been putting off my analog rig for a long time because I kept hearing amps/cans I wanted. Now that there's nowhere to go...time for my TT.

I swear by Pelican cases.  Lifetime Warranty and buoyancy ratings.  I've seen laptops survive falls from the Golden Gate bridge into the bay and getting crushed by the breech of a M1A1 tank gun.

 

[alcyst]

Pelican? No way! You gotta go with Stormcase. Or at least you did until Pelican bought, not sure if the quality has changed.
 
Apparently the "truck driving over a case" demonstration is more show than substance.

SR-009s have been in the house for a few days now and I'm really enjoying them with my GES, the SRM-717 seems a shade too bright for me. I'm very pleased that this cheaper amp is doing such a great job, saves me some money.

The power resistors have to be replaced. There maybe other problems that are causing the resistors
To burn up

If your referring to the 3 grey resistors on the left, I think they have shadows on them.  I don't think they are burnt out.  I'll look again.

eBay heads-up:
 
SRM-313
 
What in the...I thought all SRM-313s had at least one Normal bias socket and that the succeeding SRM-323 was the Pro bias-only one! That diminishes the appeal to me.
 
Also, it's set for 100V. I wonder how easy it is to change the voltage setting to 117V/120V so no one has to bother with a step-down transformer.
 
SRM-1/Mk2 Pro
 
"B" revision, 117V. I would be tempted if not for that high starting bid price at $400 + $24 shipping; isn't the more appropriate price for an SRM-1/Mk2 Pro around $300 shipped?

When I was looking, they all go for between 400-600.  you might find a normal/normal one for $3something if you hold out.

Thanks for taking the time to look at all.  I trust your eyes more then mine.
 
I'm going to start a cap list for the recap tonight.  I'll look at the panasonics or nichicons.  I haven't looked yet, but what make caps should I use for this application?  film, aluminum, etc??

Just in case anyone is after a SRM-1/MK-2 there is one up on ebay with a not to bad buy it now price,http://www.ebay.com/itm/Stax-Earspeaker-Headphone-Amplifier-SRM-1-MK-2-Professional-/251142810475?pt=US_Home_Audio_Amplifiers_Preamps&hash=item3a79472b6b

I have been watching the pricing on the SRM-1/MK-2 units a lot over the last 12 months, on ebay and here as well seems that pricing now is above the $400,00 mark as a base quite often the price ends up been around $580.00 ish, just for the unit it self.
