  1. That's a good point as I tend to resell before I buy another. I think I want the Baltic Aquascaphe in Black/Cream for my next watch at this point. I just needed something to push me in that direction
  2. Anyone have one of these or know of Archimede https://www.archimede-watches.com/pilot-42gmt.-m.-s
  3. Indeed... the radiators in the winter months are occupied frequently Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. The ramones Pet Semamtary while my Sphynx soaks up the heat from a BIII Pro fed by a core i5
  5. F'n awesome ! Thanks Pars Here's the parking spot
  6. I can tell you that I used a $5 usb cable from Amazon in my setup for a year or so. I figured there was enough isolation and reclocking in the Amanero/Chronos/Rhea stack that a better cable wouldn't matter. I was able to get a hold of an Audioquest Cinnamon USB cable for $35 out of pocket so I thought let me try it. I'll tell you I tried to remain as objective as humanly possible but I heard a positive difference with the better quality cable.
  7. In similar situations I sometimes make the techs realize that the client is paying their salary. I usually get silence after that and then my way. However I understand the situation
  8. I'll check again, but I think they were 6-7ma
  9. I had the 389's and got the 109's from a guy on diyaudio that had a good rep. I measured the resistance between pins 1 and 3 then 5 and 7 and they both came out at like 50 Ohms. Then I checked them with a transistor tester and they both showed up as jfet. As far as I can tell they're real.
  10. built some JFET boards for a Dynalo Mini
  11. I wound up ditching that kit I got from ebay since there was little in the way of protection if the regulators failed. A few weeks ago Salas over at DIY audio came up with the L-Adapter board. He tested failure in three different ways all of which ended with 0V on the output. I got the board last week and will be ordering parts in a few weeks https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/power-supplies/336685-adapter.html I should have all the parts by the end of August
  12. Get well bro... I know all about underestimating recovery time tables. I had major ankle surgery in February and I'm still on crutches lol
  13. I wouldn't mind doing a run for all the boards needed for a complete system with volume control and source selection. I know Kerry was working on or has code for the volume control
  14. This thread took me down a two hour rabbit hole and made me real sorry I sold my Sub Mariner. That being said does anyone have a Tudor Black Bay, and how do you like it?
  15. Did anyone ever put this together with the selector boards that were run? I was looking at AMB's setup for volume and selecting sources but I seem to remember somebody saying that his attenuator won't work with the amps here. It would be cool to put this together with the SE/BAL to BAL/SE board
  16. I have an Alpha board, pot and case that I will not use if you need it
  17. Anyone interested in a Universal Signal Isolator shield for the Arduino DUE? http://www.dimdim.gr/arduino/universal-signal-isolator-shield-for-the-arduino-due/ Found this while looking up how to add a display to my dac. I'm looking to order some boards so I thought I would see if there is any interest here
  18. it's a very good output stage but for me in stock form it's a tad bright. For the SE outputs I swapped the opamp out to OPA1642. That gave me the sound I was looking for along with amtrans filtering caps and PRP resistors. I just want to see if building another one with 0.1% PRP's and Silmic II electrolytics makes a difference
  19. The Longshot is one of my favorites. The toilet bowl scene is classic
  20. I'm building this to see if I can improve on the sound of the first one that I built using 1% PRP's. The original kit uses yageo and when I swapped them for PRP the sound improved so I figure why not try to match to 0.1 to see if it makes a difference. You're probably right but the PRP's are only $0.35 a piece so I figure it's worth a try. That was my other thought as well. I priced out a full set from TC and it was like $382 so I'm not gonna do that route I bought this meter since it seems to fit what tangent recommended for matching resistors and wasn't expensive https://www.ebay.com/itm/113744202815 I'll order 10 resistors for each position to see how close I can get
  21. I looked at those briefly, anywhere from $10 - $15 each. There's 28 total resistors needing 0.1% the schematic is here http://www.twistedpearaudio.com/docs/linestages/ivy3_schematic_1_0.pdf The 0.1% resistors are R1-R4 R5-R12 R13-R16 R17-R24, R32-R35 I will look this up and give it a try Thanks
