This is the five volume set which began my STEM education in the late 1950s:

The Pete Millett "Butte" is a good start. https://www.ebay.com/itm/DIY-PCB-Butte-solid-state-headphone-amp/161919004080

Check out Adafruit. Limor Fried is great and has done a lot to inspire girls in STEM. Tons of arduino kits

And your wallet, fanboy....

I've been curious about this one. Guttenburg did his usual no-review (everything but the SQ) and the only other seems to make a case for a decent "V"/U" shaped SS. I'm still interested though.

Surprised you didn't know that, Motown was set up like a factory with hits.

I had heard, but never bothered to read anything about it. I actually find musician's and industry lives/stories boring most of the time

This article however was short and sweet;)

All this time, I have been operating under the assumption that it was cooler to not be virtuous. Good thing I am not cool either.

Continental measuring system or imperial measuring system? If you actually have to measure by hand, that is key. After that we can gather data, process it and chart it to sell the audio industry new standards while listening to Koss PortaPros.

Just got recommended this video today. Not sure if I can fully understand it.

That video was clear and too the point. Thanks! It is the small changes in pitch that I hear *better* they higher up I go into fidelity.

Mass tinnitus?

Seriously, stay safe.

I'm in the Portland area. The smoke is making my sinuses go bonkers. Has made my 6K headphone system sound like a 2K system.

I'm in PDX too.. this shit sucks. We just need that damn marine air to blow this stuff out. Doubly sucks cause this is truly the most gorgeous time of the year here.

I want to go with Fluke 62, but the Amazon listing says "not for human use", but I can't think of why it would not work on human skin just like any other surface.

My guess is they're just covering themselves for when someone inevitably aims at the forehead, "misses" and "blinds" someone instead, and a small army of ambulance chasers show up.

Ha, maybe. Perhaps there is a real reason - sensor tech or software read setup that actually makes a distinction between an IR gun to be used for human temp read and all other uses...

Looking forward to utilizing (but mostly messing with) all the "pro" functionality and I/O

Going through a few classical tracks that I always feal like I need to seesaw the volume (to hear soft passages and/or keep loud section from blowing ears) and applying compression...I like it so far.

What's the point of compensating for your .... if you can still see around/over it??

I thought the RAM grills were bad, but that's a whole new level of fugly.

Hey, I don't even know what "DM" stands for? Dangerous Music? ;) No Worries @BentFlowers. To answer your question - I don't know because IMO the differences in design between my Camphor burl Eikon and Monkeypod Verite is the deciding factor, far out influencing these wood determined cup resonances/reverbs...

Somewhere here at SBAF Zack mentions this, how the Eikon is very damped and controled (so lots of wool, etc.), and the Verite (Closed in particular) is the opposite. I think that is what one hears mostly. Since I have never compared the same design (either Eikon or Verite C) with differing woods, I can't really say how much the wood matters, though others have said it does to a certain extant...

Fact is, the reverb/resonances with the VC, particularly in the vocal region, too often bothers me and I wish it was better controlled/damped like the Eikon, maybe not as far however...

Does RME have an similiar box? Those RME Fireface units are more "standard" in that they are doing alot of anologue to digital interfacing, and they don't have digital AES in/out as near as I can tell.

You have to be able to slave the clock to your digital converter. Preserving digital fidelity with one wire is not as simple as it seems unless you have an Ethernet protocol like Dante/AVB/Ravenna.

The 8D does have word clock in/out. So I should be able to slave it to (pro - not most consumer dacs obviously) whatever DAC I am using, and be source/input agnostic - USB, Ethernet, s/dif, AES, or wherever should not matter...or am I missing something?

The specs of this Mogami W2893 cable are here: http://www.mogamicable.com/category/bulk/microphone/quad/

While it wouldn't be a direct apples to apples comparison, I have deliberately added low value RCL components into the signal path before to mimic different cables / out of curiosity (PSA: do not casually attempt this). In most cases the subjective difference was minimal to none - less than changing cable materials.

Technically speaking, too many potential things could happen, but general rule of thumb for me is if nothing is "at the ragged edge of stability" and nothing is being changed functionally, then small changes like a longer cable are usually OK.

Thanks! No harm either way, I figured it may have been accidental :-)

Email ZMF directly. I have a Lektrik terminated in the lemo connectors.

I have a Norne Volsund for my Clears and love it. The stock cables were terrible and cripplingly stiff. He will terminate any of his cables with whatever you want.

I think it was you @Lyander who pointed to it on the deals thread. Thanks! I have reaced a crossroads with my TOTL closed back search. The VC is so close...yet the cup reverb sometimes, on some tracks, make me want to rip them off my head

I will end up selling the VC and keeping the Eikon and Elegia for when I need closed back because of my domestic situation. I have demoed the Utopia before, so I don't expect any surprises - I think I know what I am getting over and above my Clear...of course only on my equipment for a length of time will I know fur sur...

As much as I'd be happy to take credit for it I don't recall pointing anyone in the direction of a Utopia, haha. Regardless, I'm happy you found one for a good price given it's a proper TOTL can. Do share impressions! :)

Maybe it's just my own propensity for purple prose but I don't find lengthy walls of text offensive unless they end up ultimately saying nothing; YMO's was fine, I got the gist of the amp :P

I also just skimmed the whole thing cuz and properly read interesting bits. I definitely don't expect anyone to slow-read stuff like that unless they hate having time.

No doubt that's a very dense and useful data point. Nevertheless I also skimmed as I am not ready to spend $2k (a little less if buy used) now. But may go through word to word deeply when I get to seriously consider DNA for myself. Don't hope it to come in the foreseeable future though lol

@Vtory gets it.
