haha... did yukari managed to take photo of you wearing the ed 10?

hi shaun, your comment pretty much echo on what i thought of the o2 vs lcd.   right now one of my weak link is the transport. so i am very interested in hearing all these different transport setup. i love to listen to jitter :D

ouch ,sorry to hear about your amp, never let little kid go near electronic equipment, especially diy project.  

if you want to read about the rudistor amp/009 combo impression,here's the thread if you are keen on using the google translation http://bbs.headphoneclub.com/viewthread.php?tid=158590&highlight= apparently those guy got hold of the headphone early because someone has connection with stax...

  Quote: i wonder if those big holes on the stator of the C32 would reduce the stator surface, making it less efficient to drive, but those holes also made it sound more transparent then the 007?

hey stang here's a local k1000 for sale in case you dont know http://www.stereo.net.au/forums/showthread.php/25660-AKG-K1000-Headphones  buy it, do the patrick mod and bring it to the meet for us to listen   abou tthe exstata ,i want to sell it for $450 aud , i paid just over $300 for...

Quote: agree , o2 is like fine old wine, you really have to sit down and relax  in a quiet enviroment to really appreciate it's full strength. other heapphone are more like stuffs you  buy over the bar in the pub and still can enjoy them,  akin to meet conditon.   stang: i am thinking...

  Quote: i am the owner of this headfi, it's a heaudio jade headphone. i am also the owner of the industrial looking, man killer amp that pair with the O2  sorry i am just such a cheapskate, trying to build that thing in such a tight budget  next time when i get around to build another...

anyone interested in hearing the tube exstata? just finish casing the thing. i can ask duckman to bring it to the meet if he does not mind.

is dual mono power supply possible? can the amp handle that much power?

a local is generous enough to give me a commerical version of kgss from headamp for a week to compare with the exstata. setup for comparison is: buffalo dac balance out to exstata buffalo dac single end out to kgss (did comparison first between buffalo balance/single end out to kgss to...

i had been listening to the o2 with the beta exstata since i finish building it. i can't hear any darkness at all. but i have not heard any other electrostatic amp, so i was wondering all these time what's this darkness people talking about on the o2. it's good to hear confirmation from others...

been listening to my hybrid for the last few night, sound extremely good. i only have one psu, so can't compare the ss and hybrid side by side. may be the hybrid sound a bit more smoother, sweeter and little bit more spacious? someone mentioned the o2 clipping on the prototype version, i...

just fired up my ss version last night, very good detail with good extension on both end. anyone live near me wish to audition the amp before their build can pm me for time arrangmement

hi beefy, thanks for the offer to help. i am not planning to buy another $200 aud parts from mouser, it mean i have to pay high shipping fee ($39aud shipping charge) just for 4x 100v zener that cost 26cents. now if someone can send those zener to me in a letter, that mean my postage cost will be...

psu report this is for aussie builder's reference or for someone from country with line voltage 240v. my line voltage at home is high, around 251-5 v, alex suggested to used the 300v zener strings instead of the 291v zener strings. transfomer is 369jx for 240v line voltage my...

i just finished building the exstata but have not test it yet. i will be interested in buying the headphone from nsx for testing the exstata if he's thinking about selling it. i live in the same city as nsx, melbourne.

There seem to be very little info been written about dac/amp combo unit, below are some of the impression and info i found about this dac/amp combo unit. the amp use opamp opa2134 as voltage gain for the signal, and transistors bc33825/bc32825 as buffer for current gain. it sound very similar...
