Eh... Using SF Express would be... (360 + 620) / 6.50 = $150. But firstly, the shipping is too much, I think. I can try EMS and my forwarder tmr. Secondly, my PayPal stuck in KYC procedure, so I can't receive any money now. I might be able to sort that out in a few days as I need to renew my lease.

@Ti_Leo np, I'm not in a rush or anything, thank you so much for following through with this. really appreciate it!

You are welcome! Aha, I just found out that the "sale" is actually a presale, the stuff will be released at 20th May, so... no hurry then...
Anyway, order placed, I'll figure the remain parts out

That's fantastic news. Congratulations. As a former scientist, well done on publishing in a prestigious journal!

Congrats! Will you be a first author or co-first author?

@Phantaminum 6080 and 12au7 !

Sorry Tommy. Looks like all I have are 6AS7Gs after looking through my tube drawers. I think they went when I sold the GOTL. Still digging around for 12AU7 I know I have.

I have a single 7730 12au7 i could sell you for a discount…how many does the crack take?

@insidious meme just a one-off side project that I've been procrastinating for a while. Bill kindly sent me one of his files for me to mess around with

Looking good! Now you can start "experiencing" (read: "suffering through") the process like I did. :)

@Bill-P I got some new designs coming up! I'll pm u some of the prototype stuff :)

@dubharmonic macOS, 2018 macbook pro i think

Were you using a browser other than Safari?

@dubharmonic I was using VLC player for a movie I had. Weird because I never had this issue until recently. Also checked on my iphone and it has no latency issues

Yes, she is fantastic. Modern Cool is a modern classic and excellent demo material!

During a demo of this system was the first time I heard her https://i.imgur.com/VAMJCRY.jpg

Shit didn’t realize you were a white male retiree!!

Seems like you were the only sbafer to make it out there before he bailed. Too bad we're still in pandemic time.

I took the woofers and a few cables along with the VPI. Remember the meet there a few years back. 2018? Good times

In February? I was there!

Ha, I just finished off GofG II about 30 minutes ago...plot was not very convincing but Baby Groot!

Putting in work on that 3D printer. Why do I get the feeling that pretty soon we’re going to have the Tommy Tak HD 500 headphones.

ooooooo

Nice job!

I’m still wrapping my head around the crazy possibilities of 3D printing. Awesome

What's under the foam? Anything on the front? I like like with no rear foam, just wide open, but that's me :) gold ring 580 driver kinda hot sounding tho so I get it

@E_Schaaf not gold ring OG, but black screen w red ring, it actually sounded fine stock, found out that the front foam that came with is actually a lot thinner than stock senn foam, so it sounds livelier and less veil. I can text u some pics

Realized i didnt answer your question @E_Schaaf LOL it’s just a donut ring of dynamat like goo after removing the spider cage

oh shit that was you! Welcome to hornland. My Woden's say hello, courtesy of @Cspirou

Happy this made it to a good home.

always love seeing the cardboard enclosures ;) can't wait to see when your new chassis for elekit arrives haha

triode mode makes the ESX900 stage feel more expansive and airy while making the mids to treble transition much better. still slams and kicks like a mule. Dang this is some good stuff. Get ready for a lot of fun loaner tour people

Don't stay up too late!

I have one no longer used. Pm me.

@Vtory I can't seem to PM u, sexy man

PM sent from my side. Let's test if messaging works this direction.

Nice work! And yeah, there is a big difference between a $25 iron and a $100 one. I love my Hakko. Can't live without it.

Did you finish this between the MCAT and now?

A good soldering station is a worthwhile investment. Hakko can be had for a little over $100. Mine is a decade old and still performing admirably.

No, I am buying the ultralinear if he ever sells to keep the code-x rig and dream about the HE-6 of mine that LFF still has haha

Meh, I still have to hear it before one of you grabasses gets your bank account on it.

@zerodeefex code 6 + Ultralinear was pretty amazing too... first time hearing LFF stuff!

Getting your ear closer to the driver can help smooth and reduce treble.

But you might just need to use less or a totally different rear damping scheme if it feels like you have to kill the sound to even out the tone.

thank you @E_Schaaf and @Hands ! will try all the suggestions :) my room's already turned into a rat's nest

I think the peak I'm trying to mitigate is a combination of having angled drivers + Beryllium nasties? I think I figured out how to solve it (partial front damping + rear damping)
