Bought two alpha pots from Birgir. A gentleman through the entire process, best pot dealer I've ever had.
-
I found a few push button switches rated for 125VAC at ~3A but they were all momentary. Think I'm giving up on this idea though because almost no one seems to make latching versions.
I'll stick with buying a replacement for the switch already in there, but many thanks for the advice.
-
Pulled out the fuse, read the value.
Edit: I should mention I'm fixing an existing gainclone, not building one from scratch.
Might have found a switch on ebay.
-
I have no idea what the actual current is and my meter is at school. Just went off of the fuse rating.
-
Looking for a latching, pushbutton power switch akin to a Bulgin vandal resistant switch that can handle 3A at 125VAC for a gainclone.
-
I would agree with the removal. I built my M3 with the BB and I always keep it at its minimum setting. It's extra clutter without extra functionality.

Some Habeneromash on some crackers. My mouth is tingling.

I actually did a bunch of research and testing for a friend when he was looking for full-size, noise-canceling headphones for the train.
As far as widely-available headphones go, Sony and Bose were pretty comparable with Sony tending to be slightly cheaper. I personally like the Sony NC60 the most as the NC500 didn't really offer a whole lot more for $100 extra. The NC60 was comfortable, fairly sturdy, canceled out store noise really well and $100 cheaper than the closest Bose model. The only problem was I can't comment on sound quality.
Though I'd agree with Sherwood and if you can find a used pair of QuietComforts, they were easily the most comfortable.

For the amount you spent, you could have gotten a decent single ended pot and just saved the money to go balanced later...
Also interested in the RK50 buy.

It could be dust or it could just be the Exstata bias supply acting up. Let's just say that Stax would never put something like that in their amps...
My condolences Stretch. My exstata makes high pitched squeals with my lambdas quite often as well so I hope it's just that.

That's pretty funny how the front girl's arm looks like a naked body for the girl in back.
If you hadn't pointed it out, I would have never noticed it.
-
Well, I was hoping that the WA6SE would be decent enough, but if not then I also have a power amp in reserve. IIRC didn't they improve the efficiency for the production version though?
They sounded damn fine out of a WA6 (not sure if it was the SE or not) at CanJam, I wouldn't worry about the power.

I'd say MPI is right. Neat little protection circuit too.
-
Just glue them down with polyurethane and be sure to let it cure at room temperature for 24hours. I then apply a second layer on the outside of the drivers to make sure they aren't leaking. We are all about overkill...
See I thought laser cutting some pieces to essentially bolt the driver to the baffle was overkill. Though I may pick up some polyurethane tomorrow on your recommendation.
Also leaning more and more towards one of these newer lambda models as the reviews come in.
-
I like the little case for the drivers. Similar to what I was planning to do with my LNC now that the drivers refuse to stay on the baffle.
-
Came home for school break. Completely forgot to bring even a single pair of cans with me.
-
I'd be more excited for someone to figure out how to make diamond semiconductors less expensive.
-
Had to affix the drivers in my Lambda Nova Classic back to the baffles again when I noticed both were no longer placed correctly. Might be something to do with the sticky sheet I used. If it happens again, I have more drastic measures in mind.

Redemption rye whiskey and the last bottle of Bitches Brew on the shelf.

Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Yes, the Koss Cheesephones are an acceptable substitute

If you go with the 2sa1968ls which i think sounds ever so slightly sweeter,
the power supply rails have to be +/-450 volts. If you go with the ixtp01n100d, then you can
go with +/-500 volt rails
Does sweeter necessarily mean better? Also mark me down as interested in a board set.
