nice headphone setup glenn! i have 2 pair of sennheisers myself along with a budget usb DAC I regularly use Ive got over 20k songs with 5k of them being either lossless or 96khz/24bit … got a few 192khz/24bit ones too

Very cool Paul!, and thanks! I have over 1000 CD's, plus my vinyl collection I've been collecting since the early 60's. Yeah, I'm an old f**k lol! Am I an audiophile? some would say yes. Truthfully I consider myself a audio enthusiast. Being 60 years of age, my hearing isn't as good as it was when I was young. I was in a very loud rock band for most of my youth so my hearing isn't as good as it used to be.

Nice set of cans.

[atbglenn]

Thanks Arn. I've had many over the past several years that might might have been considered better than what I own now, but I'm happy with my Denon D2000's and Beyer Dynamic DT770 pro's 250 ohm version. Am I done looking for better? no freaking way!

I haven’t played with my portable Ray Samuel SR-71 headphone amp in a couple of years, just quit listening thru cans. What a waste, I have a Grado 325i just collecting dust and Senns, AKG 271.

Wow! Ray Samuel SR-71! That's a very cool portable amp. If I remember correctly, it used (2) 9 volt batteries. It's been a while since I've been hardcore into this stuff, BTW, I'm a long term member of Head-Fi. Check out my profile there :) Same user id I use here..

[arn357]

Yes, it uses (2) 9V batteries. I also have Xin amp made by Xin but he’s no longer active. I used to swap out opamps to get different richness thru the Xin amp. I’m still a member of Head-fi, same userid too, LOL.

A time delay relay (0 to 60 seconds) for a little project I’m working on

Nice pick Glenn!, looking forward to seeing the results. How do you adjust the timing? The dial looking thing on the top?

Yep, dial on the top. I’m making a turn on delay circuit for my vacuum tubed headphone setup. This is to prevent a turn on transient in case of a momentary power outage. Not that that happens too often here. I like to play it safe. I just ordered a couple more…

I will send you a picture when I complete my project

Here’s the link where I got the relay and socket

BTW, here’s my bedside headphone setup

What a setup Glenn!! Awesome!!

An old picture of me from the 70's

Not to be off topic, I have a few basses. Been playing original progressive rock since the early 70's. I guess you can call me an old rock and roll hippie. lol! Although, I haven't been a hippie in ages. See my avatar :)

Sweet. Only problem is we’re getting into the lighter period of the year. Soon we only have a few hours of darkness per day.

@led4power

very nice!! So what do you think about it?

[atbglenn]

Today I made this 30 second delay turn on for my headphone setup in case of momentary power outage. This is to prevent my headphones from blowing out. Other than the relay, I had all the parts lying around. It's definitely not for show, but it works really well for it's intended purpose. It's going to be hidden out of sight.

Thanks Rick :) another day waiting for my stupid insurance company to approve my cam boot. You have no idea how pissed off I am right now. And yes, I'll be boozing tonight. Big time!
