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

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.

In addition to oscilloscope functions the 2204a can perform data logging. A very handy feature for things such as thermal warm up times.

This thing is WAY too fun. I kind of get the basics, but is there a good oscilloscope primer out there?

Lecroy and Tektronix occasionally put out some decent tutorials. Obviously have to take some things with a grain of salt since they obviously want you to buy stuff, but they usually are informative.

I can't hear myself moaning over the music

Have you invited ZX300’s big hole to the party yet? The extra girth goes a long way, in my experience anyhow...

I’ve got a big ol’ 4.4mm balanced cable for the FD-01s ready to fill that big ZX300 hole. If joybuy will ever stop cock teasing and get it to me, that is.

Years ago, PMC sourced their mids from ATC, but actually, PMC makes their own dome midranges in house. ATC stopped selling drivers to manufacturers and diyers, that's why.

Overcast <3

Snagged a FD01 via the eBay 15% off deal today.

What’d it cost you? The cheapest I see them for here on Taobao without coupons is around $300

$322.77

I feel really lucky to have purchased a handmade USA Takoma from their first couple of years of business before they sold the brand. Amazing guitar that cost me under 500 at the time and all solid woods. Most people have never heard of them. I’m also now wishing I had one of their acoustic basses with the offset soundhole from that era.

I’ve always had a good impression of Yamahas for such a big operation.

I've a Guild steel string which isn't half bad, but will check out the Yamaha as I'd like to own a nylon string classical.
