And now what did you do TODAY?
Nope. They are claiming to have delivered them. But I am skeptical as I was home, and it seems highly unlikely that in the 20 minutes between delivery and my checking that someone, in broad daylight, in front of a busy elementary school, picked up three large boxes containing 50lbs of steel plates* and walked off. The overnight was from Mouser. UPS rescheduled for Monday, but Mouser seems to have stepped in to move it up to Saturday. * I'm taking a welding class!

I spent the day on the phone with UPS after they lost 3 packages and declined to deliver a 4th that was overnighted.

D'Oh. I missed this, too. Happy Birthday!

Amp for very specific listening needs...
Alps blue. No gain.

Fuck in snow
I've used those USB jumpers to start my car from a 100% dead battery.

I guess I can answer this It is a diamond buffer, but it uses servo controlled current sources to maintain stability and improve performance. It also has JFET input and Sziklai output devices for low distortion and low noise. The PS uses Jung regs. And we kept the raw PS external to eliminate any chance of noise being picked up (I think CJ's uses an external switcher, but a transformer works, too).- Is this a good deal?
I've always used dd.- Fuck in snow
We just did 8" by hand as the snowblower wouldn't start. It's just as well as the snow was light and fluffy and our snowblower is more or less useless.- Amp for very specific listening needs...
I made a buffer for crappyjones123 that fit this description a couple of years ago. Send him a PM. He was selling it at one point.- Looking for a best solution to allow the Arduino to control the gain of the amplifier
This should be in the DIY section. The difference between 1x and 2x gain is incidental. A 2 position switch is easy while 3 position requires many more parts. Use a latching relay controlled by the arduino. Then add a permanent resistor for 6x gain, and switch in another in parallel to reduce the gain.- Happy Birthday Ken (guzziguy)!

I think I'd look at the Tek 5 series MSO.- What are you EATING right now?
Whatever the repercussion on the rest of the world, the effect on you is likely to be considerably worse. My breakfast of raw oats, blueberries, and bananas ...- and now for something completely different part 3
That's probably true. This was a $300 order. There does seem to be a price point, which I have not quite figured out yet, which determines whether they upgrade to 2nd day or overnight. But I have definitely never had them sit on an order and then not upgrade it.- and now for something completely different part 3
Yesterday's order ... Pretty standard for me at this point.- What are you reading now?
- Focal Utopia headphones...with Beryllium driver
The T4 will basically incorporate the design changes that were shoehorned into the T3 with better heat dissipation, a lower noise floor, a better power supply, and a bit more output power. And a nicer case. It is a nice evolution but not a huge change. The T5 is a different animal, but it will also be considerably more expensive.- Focal Utopia headphones...with Beryllium driver
The Torpedo 3 has been retired. It is being replaced by the T4 soon (probably January, and no longer torpedo shaped). We'll also have an upgraded version, the T5, available soon after.- What are you listening to Part the Third

I have an Intel 320 series 160G, and an Intel 520 series 120G. The 256g crucial I have is toast. The 320 is technically slower at 3Gb/s (520 is 6Gb/s), but you probably can't take advantage of the 6G sata speed in an old computer so I'd probably go for the extra size. PM your address and I'll make sure it is working and drop it in the mail. Both are 7mm with a 2.5mm spacer. edit: I might also have a 500G crucial M500 - if I do, I'll send it instead.- Is this a good deal?
Ken - I probably have an old SSD laying around so you can try it for speed. If I do, it is yours.- Is this a good deal?
How do you know how I think? At any rate, THINKBUSTER10 will get you 10% more off of those prices. - Amp for very specific listening needs...
