Orthodynamic Headphones & all things planar

how does it compare with the previous build, ie the one with me?

The DAC plans have to wait a bit. I had been busy with EHHA rev. A builds, got one of them finished couple of days ago.The initial impressions are quite positive even as the sound continues to change.I think this would mean that I would soon have one EHHA extra, let me know if any of you is interested.
 
The general sound signature of both is quite similar as would be expected.
There are small differences which I shall look into once the burn in settles.
They are both excellent amp anyways.
 
I talked to Viren about the noise from the DAC and he has agreed to take a look. However, I could not find time to visit him due to most weekends dedicated to visit, wedding anniversary etc. Hope I might be able to resolve it this weekend. Since last few days the occurrence of the noise is very less, but it is still there. It might just be a loose tube, that got loose during shifting.
 
Conditions :mad: :mad:. I will spend ten minutes of my life on it tomorrow. Can't miss the TPs ;)
Team ortho thanks you for all the effort your are puting in to get the father fostex back in shape.

@anm : Is it the lampucera DAC which is giving you trouble ?
Hopefully Viren will be able to get it right.

no problems guys...

Rallynut..sure thing..an audiotion of the active 3 ways can easily be arranged. I haven't been able to forward Titus's info to my dad yet cause i just have way too much going on right now. But will ge ton it tomorrow night and have him ship it out on monday to Titus. I am moving next weekend and on top of that new job, friends, christmas, plans for new years, auditioning magnepans and other planars :P
bah 24 hours just isn't enough.

well off tobed for 4 hours of sleep before i have to get back to work (just got done cooking vegetable pulav for office potluck :) )
 
my dad was on his way to drop off the ackage to send it off to Titus (iAudio)when he got word that my grandmom passed away yesterday :sad:

..am still in a state of shock but the my dad being the awesome person that he is, still managed to send the TPs out yesterday even though i told him he can put it on indefnite hold. Enjoy you guys, i am going to listen to some tunes and look at some old pictures of my family the rest of the night.
 
Sorry about your Grandmothers demise! Your Dad need not have gone through all this trouble in this vexing time.
 
Got it! Well packed, slight dent on carton on one side but didnt affect anything inside. Damn the TPs are beautiful to behold. And I am pulling out my hair in frustration, as I barely have time to listen before I push off to my native for xmas. Hope to spend quality time with the TPs from Sunday when I am back at my place in Cochin.
Thank you Sachi.
 
On sending TPs through courier, I've a few issues:

How much to insure the TPs for? I don't trust courier service guys that much. What if we insure for 25K and the courier guy thinks "Let them claim. This must be worth it" and runs away with the package? If this was an easy to get item, I'd have said at least we've created an audiophile, but it's not.

So, how to declare the headphones? Do we insure? Which courier companies are better? Do we use something like a DTDC Plus to ensure that delivery is made the next day and we have less stress tracking?
 
I personally never feel safe with our couriers, even my regular courier pick up guy suggests under-declaring items for safety. I also label them just as 'used headphones'.
Chances are slim though that a courier guy would be interested in some headphones of which he knows nothing about.

sachi : what's your opinion regarding insurance?

I think using a premium courier service is the minimum we can do.Apart from the safety issues, it would also cut down the 'on-road' time of TPs significantly.
 
@all,how true.it has been a concern as well to me.luckily haven't had any issues so far :indifferent14:.guru's yh2 were sent to haarakiri the same way-"headphones for personal usage".thenvk sent my ue tf10 by dtdc plus and no worries,thank my stars!!cheers
@iaudio,enjoy them :licklips:.them tps would have been a good listen :)
