May have lent mine to @CEE TEE for a few months there...

That could work. Might actually be easier to construct than my concept.

Ha, am I the only one that keeps self-correcting after reading the city name as 'Tacos'? Either way, sound like a good place to be.

I love Taos, it's really beautiful there. It was too "sleepy" for me when I visited as a kid, though.

I have one of those weird internet jobs I made up for myself. :) Taos has surprisingly decent infrastructure for a town of its size (in American terms, I mean).

You Americans and all those abbreviations! I think I get CO, but not NM.

But hey, Brits are even worse. "Salop" is the abbreviation for Shropshire? I have been thinking WTF on that one for over 60 years.

<googled> Oh well, I suppose that should have been obvious.

Happy move :) Hope you have lots of speaker space!

In case you're wondering, I will give Friends a SWEET ASS deal on this. It comes with Applecare. The best I can get outside eBay is like $180, so you can lowball me and I won't be offended because I've already been lowballed by Amazon, Gazelle, etc. So make me a deal. Accessories can include Apple cover, the can-charge CCK, and video adapter.

If you are interested in other Apple gear I think you can get much more on trade in at the Apple Store/online

Did you find any takers? I may be interested.

Amp has some mains hum; hopefully better wire routing can resolve that. And it drives Overnight Sensations (test speakers; this amp is headed to my main system to handle midtweeter duty) surprisingly loud (lots of distortion tho).

hows the sound

Dunno yet. Haven't hooked it up to the FE108EZ's yet. It sounded surprisingly decent via Overnight Sensations, but that's the wrong combination in every single way.

Not uninteresting.

Man, The Onion's Photoshopping work is just so good.

I sympathize. I finished my DIY Dynalo SuSy 6 months before I made an enclosure for it. I still used it, but had to worry about accidentally touching 120VAC the whole time.

You must not have cats :) If I didn't I might have considered this shit: https://community.klipsch.com/uploads/monthly_10_2013/post-24405-13819475165478.jpg

Got curious kids. I needed to unplug it everyday

I don't know if it's best, but I got given Jabra ones for work. They seem to work well, I haven't gotten any complaints for sound quality yet.

Does the Jabra sound super thin like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7gG4PFdDpo ? That's my main concern with them despite the Wirecutter recommendation.

Not exactly sure what I sound like, I never bothered hearing it in loopback. Additionally, I use the 6xx for the audio output, I just stick the Jabra on top of it for the mic.

I did not order them, only plan on listening when they are in store.

Ah!

The M0 is perhaps smaller, but not by much. @Merrick for me, the ZX300 is a better overall device, but the ES100 still fills a useful niche, which is: on the go, want decent sound, but the environment is noisy or chaotic. For me, that's a TON of situations, and it makes the ES100 quite useful.

If I get bored in the next few weeks (unlikely, ha) I'll try to compare the ES100 vs. SONY MUC-M2BT1 vs. ZX300.

This thing is TINY, so I get why they used a 2.5mm balanced adapter, but I sighed deeply when I ordered a 2.5mm to 4.4mm adapter for it.

From the schematic it seems like it would be closests to the Aleph amps since it's single ended. Also consider the MoFo

http://blog.audiomaker.tech/download/build-this-mofo/?wpdmdl=689

The MoFo looks super cool. Plywood base + simple build + funky looking choke + big heatsink = love. But... I'd be driving whatever I build straight outta a Schiit DAC output. Makes me wonder if the MoFo with its unity gain would work in that application. Anyone know? My rudimentary IVR knowledge is failing me.

The single-ended output of the Modi MB is 2Vrms. That's 2 watts peak with 4 ohm speakers (1W/8ohm). That's not a lot unless you have very sensitive speakers. You would also have similar problems with the F4.

"All the sugar, twice the caffeine!" A vintage lightning bolt of sugar and caffeine, that is making a comeback.

Ah!

Maybe they'll bring back "coca" cola, LOL.

Yeah, I’m still getting my head around the album. Production is stellar but I’m not sure about the artistic direction on this one...

In spite of the change in direction, he still kills it. When that click drops on ‘Don’t Miss It’... Like, whoa...

I feel like he just consciously went for a more commercial album.
