hehe thanks wink
I didnt actually expect someone to give me one
got some interesting stuff on the way from texas components. I was planning on using nude S102 (TX2352) for load setting resistors and will still install them initially, but while going over my notes a couple nights ago I came across something that funnily enough was prompted by Natonrice, who mentioned the Z201 Z foil resistors also by texas components. I remembered there were some things in the works over there, so when contacting my guy there to make an order for the TX2352's I asked about the new TX2575 'naked' Z foil resistors, long story short I have some on the way, these things look to be as close to 'a good piece of wire' as possible, so ordered some for impedance adapters and also 4 680R 0.005% for the B32, for driving headphones directly; this number should keep the load low enough to remain in current mode (<780 ohms) 680 plus the output impedance of the B32 itself (~21ohms), contact resistance of the terminals, the OTTO, then switch and XLR connector and of course the headphones themselves, <30 for JH13 and 300 for the senns. resistance should still come under for the JH13, correct?? i'll probably install some others for the senns or live with voltage drive for them. i'm sure it'll still sound fantastic either way whether current or voltage output, but current being preferred.
am I missing something?? does this sound like a plan, because these are made to order and I havent paid and finalized the order yet for those 4, so if you guys think I should lower it a tad, please let me know. the headphone cable will present very very little being silver (in the case of JH13 anyway) and also silver the whole way from dac output to the XLRs (except the otto and the R's themselves)
any advice here would be much appreciated.
also, anyone built up the placid PSU/shunt regs yet?? if so, were the results superior??
