May 10, 201510 yr $upercharger on a Toyota doesn't void the warranty which was why I test drove the sequoiaLast 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. Jbest part of a gm is it doesn't matter. I can get a used motor for a couple hundred bones if I pop mineOnly 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. J
May 10, 201510 yr 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 safeI would really like 3.5mm and RCA inputssmall footprintunder $250Shoot!!!
May 10, 201510 yr enjoy electronics? i built this little amp for fun. http://diyaudioprojects.com/Solid/12AU7-IRF510-LM317-Headamp/
May 10, 201510 yr How much have you spent on performace upgrades for the escalade, and what upgrades have you done? Is it a lot faster?a lot and ask me next week, this I'd on my workbench
May 10, 201510 yr 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.
May 10, 201510 yr Got a couple of those DAC's myself. still rocking some AKG cans I bought in 1995.in the ear or over never on.

Would have spent my money much differently.
