Oh fuck, that penguin has laser beam vision!
On a more serious note, that looks like a very cool toy.
It's been delayed a few months. Supposedly due to the difficulty training those birds how to use those lasers! I hope to have it in my Hand by the end of the month. The Integration of everything is awesome. It even picksup all media servers and will play any audio or video codec over the network! Plays FLAC and Ogg files! There is even a Spotify client.

I'm waiting on one of these at present. Runs GoogleWave, GoogleVoice, and Skype. Flash enabled browser. Full OPEN implementation of Debian/Linux. 32GB native, easily expandable to 64GB. 3.5mm Headphone Jack, the specs go on for days.

I have a 4870x2, a really great card, and have been using ATI cards since the late 90's. Their drivers and software are the best they've ever been. But that ain't saying a lot. To have to occasionally format to fix a driver issue is nuts. The 4870x2 though has had zero issues, and runs Crysis pretty well! The 5870 looks pretty killer, Hmmm X2 version...

Perfectly on the up and up, ya gotta love it. Your phones are presented perfectly and dead honest in the description. First thing I thought was, wonder if I can fix them?Absolutely smart, and correct too. I also wanted to play my part, because he seemed a bit undecisive. -
Dreamwhisper, I want to make something clear. If you are going to buy my headphone because it costs 300€ less than going rate, looking forward to fix it and have a perfectly working Omega 2, just buy one from someone you trust who can sell it for 1500$ or that ballpark. If you want to buy this Omega 2, you must accept that it might or might not be fixable. If I had the certainity that it was, I'd do it myself and then sell it for a lot more.
I don't want to seem rude but just to be clear. You are on the top of the queue, but I am not sure if you are convinced yet.
If you aren't sure, there already are other people who have accepted this fact.
Crystal Clear. But if you were him, you would want to make the best percentage play possible. Smart to ask here first.

What's the budget? I can have dual sets drafted up in CAD and cranked out on our CNC mills, then off to the anodizer, but it's not free. A cheaper way is to find the time to get over to my buddy's place with two bars of 6061-T6 and chuck them in his metal lathe, but that's the slow pine box to Georgia route...
Hey thanx for the offer! I don't want to go to anywhere near that much work! This was for a temp pot at best for troubleshooting and setup, and maybe for use. But i'll keep it in mind you have access to that type of stuff when I really need a favor!
-
Either insufficient info (the grade is clearly marked on the package) or a crappy fake if there isn't a marking.
Ok, I get it. I was mainly referring to places that sell it based on 2SK389 with no designator. So that would fall under: insufficient info
Thanx!
-
read it again. It's there:
http://www.djgardner.com/headphone/gilmore/datasheets/2sk389.pdf
I've looked at that in some detail but am admittedly Noob at this. I see GR, BL, and V. The difference being IDSS values. But what is it if you just see 2SK389 by itself?
My knobs were crap too, 4.5mm ID on the small knob and 5.25mm on the bigger bottom knob.I never found any knobs that were very interesting or very high quality. the seller of the POTs doesn't know any either.
-
Not related to the original thread but related to some of the segues in the thread along he way.
What is the difference between a 2SK389 and a 2SK389BL? I don't see any reference on the datasheet to the BL designator.
-
The Lambda Pro Classic/Spirit was its replacement and that was released in 1992 so somewhere around that time.
Thanx! Figured you would know!
-
The Lambda Pro came out in '82. When did they stop making it?
-
I tore apart my Sylvania TV camera last night to gut it for the eXStata Hybrid build, so I didn't have time to dig through all the totes. I'll see if I can find their tote and measure what I have.
Exstata looks good to me as well!
-
Completely unrelated but I think I've collected almost every good sounding vintage electrostat there is. Can I be deemed a demi-Birgir now?
Koss ESP10
Superex PEP-74
SR-X mk3
SR-5NB
SR-Lambda
Beyerdynamic ET1000
Jecklin Float PS2
And eventually the Gamma Pro + SR-X Pro will be coming.
Only thing I need now is a PMB500 or PMB1000. Only problem is now that I've amassed this collection it will be tough to let any of them go.
You need to sang these Babies then!
-
How many are you looking for? I might have two sets of vintage knobs that would work. I'll have to measure them. Both are silver. I might have one set in black plastic with a silver center dot too.
I have a knob cache, but it's only the knobs from gear I pilfer for parts before I drop off the PCBs at the electronics recycling center. Mostly late-60's consoles and 70's low to mid-fi integrated receivers. I also have a friend with an insane collection of knobs from gear he has pilfered over many more years than I have.
Hey,
One set would be great!

i thought i was picky
if you're ever relying on soldermask on an electrostatic amp pcb to prevent a short you're already in trouble
I'm just trying to fix the void on the board.
I'll be soldering to that pad next to it. The hole in the solder mask is 1.4mm from the edge of the pad. How much potential exists between that output and the ground plane?
I thinkl I'm going to use the Locktite product.
Ohh, and you guys didn't start out "all seeing and all knowing".
I've read your old posts!
-
If you're putting a terminal block on top of that just give it a lick of nail polish.
Was going to solder, not use terminal blocks.
-
I just read the "manual". What do you guys think of the hfe tester?

Wouldn't know. I've never had the pleasure of feeling a Fluke.
It seems to be fine to me.
Heh, OK.
The Fluke is guaranteed to survive a 10' fall onto concrete. If you grab the case of a fluke and twist it, it will not flex, solid as a rock. It's also sealed with a serious gasket, they are somewhat difficult to change the battery on because the case fits so well and the gasket is so serious.
Any ideas how yours compares to that? If I could get 50% Fluke for that price it would be a good deal.

I got mine a couple of days ago. It looks like the meter in the ad. It seems to be built well enough. I've done a few simple measurements. So far I'm happy as a clam.
Edit: Instructions aren't great but that won't affect most of you.
Does it just look like a Fluke or does it also feel like a Fluke? How is the quality on the switch, the jacks, the feel of the case, the quality of the display, etc?
-
What Mastech? And did anyone get their VC99 yet? If so, how are they. I could use another decent meter.
Mastech was one of the Meters in the link I posted above.

I'd stay away from the super cheap meters despite the results of that testing. My own personal experience is that my cheap $5 meter is often off by more than 10V when trying to measure line voltage. Example, LV on my Fluke = 122VAC, on the $5 Harbor Freight = 110VAC. Pretty shitty if you ask me. I use that meter as a fuse now, as in "I wonder if this measurement will blow up my meter".
I don't like the cheap Harbor Freight jobs either. But the Mastech looks like having a couple of those might be doable. One could test them for accuracy. Wish I had a box of Fluke 189s!! One can wish! Since I'm contemplating some HV stuff, I'm eyeing my leads with suspicion. The one's I bought off ebay and MPJA have got me skeered.

Hi,
I have a Fluke 87 and some cheap meter that came with a Battery for free. But I just read this last night and it was very interesting. Worth a read for any builder here as well as his electrical safety section.
-
I think it is MG chemicals that makes Q-dope or Corona dope, both of which are HV insulators. Might be another option.
Hey Pars,
Thanx! The Q-Dope it looks like was DC'd. I did find the Corona dope and it looks like it should work! It's only $11:00 a bottle.
I just got a call back on this Loktite product: Hysol 0151 is is supposed to be able to go through a solder wave process and act as a solder mask.

I don't have the chip you have or water cooling. I have an OC'd 6850. I do have 6 1TB HDs though. The Power supply is a 1000w CoolerMaster that came as a package deal with the case. The case is a CoolerMaster Stacker 830 Evolution. I think a 480w would not work for my card. But a 600w might work.
