$upercharger on a Toyota doesn't void the warranty which was why I test drove the sequoia

Last I read it altered the warrantee down to 50,000 miles, by virture of the milage for that part when added on by the dealer.

best part of a gm is it doesn't matter. I can get a used motor for a couple hundred bones if I pop mine

Only cool thing about GM is the cheep as Fuck parts.

:-)

True. Toyota locked down the computer on the Tundra as well. Finding a reliable tuner is almost impossible.

OK, so Seth bought his first set of cans. They are easily driven, 18 ohm cans. Sennhieser Momentums.

 

Who here uses cans and what amps are you using? Interested in tubes.

 

Requirements:

  • must be able to roll so they have to be socketed.
  • down to 18 ohms, 20 should be safe
  • I would really like 3.5mm and RCA inputs
  • small footprint
  • under $250

Shoot!!!

I dont use the tube amp that much honestly. I was planning to use it at work. But I have an electrical noise that is only present while using the amp at work and not at my apartment. Probably need to come up more robust filtering or just battery power it. 

another option I like to use is this dac to directly drive my headphones. pretty cheap burr-brown.  http://www.amazon.com/Behringer-UCA202-Audio-Interface/dp/B000KW2YEI

 

use a second one as the dac in my car. think sean is using it too.

14.8 stock?

 

My poor truck ran 16.4 stock and 15.586 after intake, LT Headers, full dual exhaust, tune, e-fans.

 

Wish I could do again. Would have spent my money much differently.
