You guys talkin' audio? Black Window was my favorite Eddy Currant amplifier.

Other good EC amps:
1. Zana Deuce
B. Alf Fishing an Oxbow

That was old Michael Winslow in that video I believe...damn talented individual

Keep right on, till the end of the road...


(You have to be old to know this one)

Not a Golden Schlong that's what

I read the terms. Basically you have to nominate yourself, give them a test product, and have suppliers in 10 European countries. I imagine many people just can’t be bothered.

How many of us are in isolation because of politics, under order from those inordinately spending?

Kind of my MO right now. I need to switch up to something more sustainable. Maybe pick up learning how to play a guitar.

that’s exactly what I did. It’s ability to suck up hours and hours with practice is amazing. DIY audio also has a high time -to-money ratio.

Smoking deal

Hi @YMO, I'm in the US.

Moon Audio has tons of Hemp.

sadly no, I just owned their solid-state headamp which used these as input transformers, it sounded good. I agree, people should stop listening to boring jensen and cinemag

Why no love for Tango?

very overrated. lean, wiry, analytical sound. the brand went through many different eras, not all are the same, but the most lauded by collectors are the most disappointing. hashimoto is much better for a full-range and normal sounding transformer.

Love Lynn Olson's articles, specially "Amity, Raven and Aurora" and the ones about the Ariel. Btw he also posts a lot on diyaudio, always great stuff.

I started my research career with a very nice grant that made life easy for a long time. When it came to renew, the granting agency had perverted the original purpose of the program. They no longer review applicants on the merit of the research ideas, but on how convincingly the researcher claims to be training new employees for the granting agency. They’re totally blatant about it too!

It doesn't occur that way. I emphasized "non-problematic ways". There are generally tons of proposals wanting money. Money is very limited (year to year varying). In such context, it's pretty easy to make one group less prioritized as grant evaluation process is eventually human-related not fully system-determined. Apply some sensitive issue such as insurance or gov support to this framework. That's what's happening.

Seems a little timing issue as I spent too many minutes. Anyway my point is trial-period may cause quite a lot unintended consequences. That's maybe why things are done the way we know. Not fully convinced. But that's my position.

Just remember, last time this happened, it sparked and lit up this whole industry.

you missed r in my name. are you talking about me or you? I love my dac and my conclusions are drawn in stone. looking forward to your thoughts.

even Dos Equis

Drunk is best on $$$$ equipment.

Modelo Negra for me.

60,000 components?

That’s what I meant earlier when I said I kind of like It. It’s an interesting looking PC. I mean it’s total BS. They put two random duelund caps to say there’s duelund caps inside and charge a premium, but it’s more interesting than a $50,000 rack or speaker cables

9 shelves, $60k, but actually was on sale for more like $10k. Big discount due to low sales with covid. Solid aluminum though, and very heavy.

I was thinking about it, but on other side of the country. If its not gone by later tomorrow I may have to hop on that offer...

Tempting, but logistics and quarantine haha. Good luck!
