  1. The 307a is my favorite amp of all time - I hogged it for 2 hours at the Dallas meet, and the Tango/James iron is just yummy. I may yet just stop building amps and buy one - everything else seems like a waste, though I did just score $700 in Lundahl iron to see if I can get close. If not, well, I know where the end of the road is.
  2. I just can't do this as I am building a trafo coupled amp with 5 Lundahl trafos.... but, I do have 3000' of 1kv 16878/1 in 4 colors I would gladly share. Besides, there is this electrostat to finish, and cases to make... this doesn't even have _any_ tubes - wtf?
  3. You convinced me - I'll ship the wood.... it needs to be resawn first anyway. One clusterfuck at a time.
  4. Do any exist? maybe a pic would help firm up some demand.
  5. I need you to teach me how to dovetail right... too bad rosewood costs so much to ship... ;-)
  6. Interested, but not sure the application, or what I am replacing... WTF, I'm in. Again.
  7. With the hd600, I called mine 'Clipper'... it was a *much* simpler time...
  8. One thing really needed is a central ramrod - which I would NOT be able to do (look at my builds as proof) - but, someone will need to direct the traffic. Tkam, can we pare the packing pics - just helps load before cached... though, the empty liquor bottles do help set the stage.
  9. My old guy (the cat I let outside) was gone for a week once - I called the city asking for roadkill report, dragged the city shelter, called the no-kills, and walked the 'hood for a week. Just as I was resigned that he was gone (we also have coyotes and bobcats locally), a neighbor called that someone down the street had a cat that had been trapped in their patio (8' brick enclosed) for a week... doh. Don't give up just yet...
  10. Two Blue Hawaii torroids, thirty 6s4a, two lemo b0 connectors, 300' of aluminum cable tray, and a Crate & Barrel Rojo cabinet.
  11. They look pretty, and beefy, but you need a blowtorch to solder to them. Never again. I do like the Kimber a LOT better.
  12. I'd look, but "the server is too busy".
  13. Not necessarily - this has not been my experience at all. I will buy 950 (and amp them at 620v) long before I'd consider an HE product, and that has nada to do with the reliebility issues.
  14. 2sc3381 - there are apparently 2 versions (7 legged, which I need, 3 legged which I do not, but got 50 for my trouble), and once found and paid, actually getting them. Have 3 payments out with vendors, and no parts to show for any... some since November. You'd thunk I'd ordered from Singlepower. Yes, I know BDent, etc, but lots of others claim stock... until you actually expect delivery. Now i did luck into a couple of 2sk389, just for the old BH, though LSK is for the new kid.
  15. Jesus H. Christ - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  16. Not really a problem - my boards get here tomorrow to (finally) start the stinking stat amp.
  17. Glad you got them back, but sorry for the horrorshow. That is just wrong.
  18. Just dropped 3 monstrous boxes at FedEx myself - tracking is working ok for me in Dallas...
  19. Very nice... once I clear up $6k, that is a possibility. What else in this range did you consider, other than the mentioned Capitole?
  20. A verbatim quote for what Peter Mcalister used to send me... except, unfortunately, he actually shipped the unit... twice.
  21. If anyone can get anything out of Mikhail, it seems to be Alex... he talks to him in some variation of Russian... seriously, you might ping Alex to see if he can source it, even if it is via SP.
  22. Just so sad that this has no resolution. However, has it not come to the point that HF could take a stronger stand, and allow overt 'Do NOT buy SP, and let us count the ways for why not" ? Maybe I'll add a 'SP Free' posting to the DFW meet thread, to atone for being a (once) SP customer. Maybe he could move on to swindle people with speaker amps... For starters, I think everyone owed an amp from Mikhail, having waited over some reasonable period, SHOULD mail a complaint to the Colorado AG, like, you know, on the same day? For maximum effect, that could be drafted by an attorney in Colorado, and shared amongst all in similar straits. At least it would uncover one less place for the roach to hide.
