audio-talk

Lovely job mike, an interesting project to read about despite the fact that i havent a clue what half of it meant

I worked for uki for a number of years, they underwrote at the time probably 60 different insurance schemes including big brands (dl, churchill, prudential ect), manufacturer insurance schemes and various specialist insurers. All aimed at a different demographics, different risk involved and thus di...

Pat metheney - first circle

Probably more of a preference thing to be honest simon, i always blather on about things being 'clean' and settled on pass amps. I do like a bit of valvey goodness though

Thanks for the offer ray, but to be honest, even with my above musings on 45s im very unlikely to actually build anything even if i do buy some sort of kit or try to design something.
Im just out of the game when it comes to making stuff

That may come back at some point (hopefully) we shall see

Soundgarden - superunknown

While i was writing the above i went over to a couple of tracks from in utero and then onto soundgarden - superunknown, the edsimon is great with this type of stuff Oh and the tracks are being streamed using tidal, standard resolution so 16/44.1. Not hi res, whatever it is that tidal are using these...

Right. Eds/simons headphone amp. Im listening to it now with the wiim mini plugged into it, the wiim can control volume itself if you set it to variable via its own set of outputs. I had set this to fixed to run it into the myryad, so just reset it rather than faffing about with the preamp i have so...

That rig was really very good, the beyers made me take a good look at open backed phones too. Im not a member of diy audio unfortunately otherwise i would have been very...

Jan bang - reading the air
Is it the clouds - omar rodriguez lopez
In utero - nirvana

Thats the same conclusion i keep coming to. I also keep wondering if i could rig a jack to the b1, but i dont know enough about it so see if thats a viable option

I think the wad is has a triode/pentode in it, i think its an ecl88 or something but i forget, it is very good. Ive seen quite a few otl designs, but otls scare me :D, even though i think ray swears by his transcendent one My line of thinking is that a low gain power type valve such as the 45 or a 2...

Ive invested a bit of money in a little headphone system. I was moaning and feeling sorry for myself a few weeks ago, whining about not being able to use the main system for various reasons. Oh waily waily, woe's me, isnt it terrible. Tony very kindly lent me his wad hd83, and ed sent me some of the...
