That price and the description mentions taking to Cloud 7, not all the way to Cloud 9, what a scam. (Cloud 9 == elation/euphoria)

That is nuts. I am not sure who this is aimed at since I don't wear full size headphones outside. Who is the buyer trying to impress?

Quite possibly the single ugliest pair of headphones I have seen. I'd wear gold Jecklin Floats out and about before this abomination.

NOS? Old times dielectrics are goo. Expect to divide the voltage rating by 10 and add a ton of leakage.

Hahahhaa, good one! Outputs more useful information, tbh.
At which point does your wiener tear in half, and what was the sinad at that point?

We need graphs of frequency *and* amplitude at 'clipping'.

There is only one result on any frequency test of Amir, and the result is: "Far too often."

Does Pandora get to open the box?

I am feeling dumber for reading that advert. copy. Also, does this make my oak and steel corner desk a “grounding desk”. I mean, it weighs around 100 pounds and last I checked oak was still an insulator.

Well, first thing to check is... have you filled the drawers with earth?

3 words: linear power supply. You’re welcome.

2 words: audiophile pole.

Fuses must be properly aged. Many of my power cables were saved from work, over twenty years ago. They are just beginning to sound right.

I was watching youtube vids to figure out the difference. The cheap multimeter is pretty accurate but you probably shouldn't use it for anything HV. Also the Fluke premium is supposed to have excellent aftermarket service.

I got it with HV in mind e.g. 900V, I fried my other cheap one by probing a 350V FW rectifier which is actually a 700V winding. I do hope it's one of those tools I'll never need to replace. I went for the 17X series just because the newer 11X are no longer US made.

For measuring batteries and other non critical DC voltages this mathcbox is fine. For everything else the Fluke is so worth the money.
I can second the Brymen rec. Certainly quality brand. Also True RMS is not just marketing. The matchboxTM makes a kind of peak detection and calculates based on sine crest to rms ratio. Hardly useful for any other waveform.

You might as well just hang onto it next time. It'll be increasingly harder to find.

The DIY AVC was much richer in detail and depth than the inbuilt Vitus volume control. https://imgur.com/kU93BnH

Was testing the Abyss 1266 TC on the scope to check for grid current, now the scope is on milkdrop visualiser duty. TC is what I hoped the D8000 would be, that low end savage power...

I miss the days my better half used to take biz trips ... Enjoy!

WHOA!

Isn't once in a lifetime more than enough for any bank account?

Life is about experiences, I'm gorging on overpriced gear while I can and part of my pursuit of happiness.

That I can applaud and say yes to you!

Enjoy :)

For that type of money I would use it for a life adventure.

Nothing over HD650 is worth it anyway.

Say more! What's unique? What's the plankton level - is it at least Clear level?

Although transducers matter the most in the chain ;)

Gear is never the limitation for enjoyment. It is our own perception of what is real. Easy to train ourselves to believe what we want. Also beer is gud.

I mean, I get it, but nobody here is thinking that the headphone is all of it. I think we're all building chains around something. Mostly around headphones. The smart ones build around DACs though.

Doesn't apply. It has the right specs to test the two amps I'm building. I've already optimized for 60 ohm headphones because of Susvara so this is an ideal match. I can run single stage spud 2A3 or 300B since it's 98dB. D8000 will be perfect to compare component changes to fine tune. That and I want a Japanese headphone.

One on HF now for $2,150

Bought, makes sense to start with the first version, sounds like it may be closer to my liking than the PRO anyway, otherwise same sensitivity specs.

For a second thought you're talking about meth…

It's good for what it is mate

First CD?

Yep, first ever new music CD purchased from a store.

Gratz ^^
