ZMF Pendant by Ampsandsound; impressions, tube-rolling, and general discussions
Yeah, I think that 55 lbs is the shipping weight. I don't mind the weight of the Aegis, but I'm always been of the mindset that transformers are the most important thing in an OTC design and, unfortunately, that means weight. OTL is a different beast, but that isn't great for driving planars...- AnyDave

That's perfectly fair. It sounds like it's not the right fit for you. I was just trying to make sure the correct info is out there as a 9 lb delta may make a difference to somebody else.- AnyDave

Not pushing you towards an Aegis, but just for sake of accuracy, the actual amp weighs about 46 lbs. I believe the 54-55 lb number comes from the weight of the amp in the shipping box, although I've personally only weighed the amp and not the amp + shipping ctn.- AnyDave

Aegis DIY Tube Headphone Amplifier
I used to work with a guy who could roughly guess the voltage left in a 9V by putting it on his tongue. He was an odd fellow. Probably spent too much time putting batteries on his tongue.- AnyDave

I can certainly understand the stress involved in any failed transaction. I've definitely been on the downside of things before. I've had a couple of unfortunately large shipments overseas go completely missing. It was incredibly frustrating, but in the end, I took the loss . It's just not...- AnyDave

what's a typical CIEM depth?
For the impressions, it's always better to go past the second bend. That's standard industry practice. As far as canal length, it greatly varies depending on manufacturer and individual biology. The primary reason to go with a longer canal is to avoid the occlusion effect. This is...- AnyDave
