How would you mount the caps? Through the top or off-board them? Or am I not looking at it the right way?

Pretty sure prp wasn't alone in leaking through its insulation.

Thanks for putting this on. Would like 3 sets of amp board (6 pieces) 1 set of split power supply (2 pieces) 1 goldenreference dual board (1 piece)

Why the white gloves? Or did you have Mickey Mouse help model these for you?

Sure it's possible, but I would expect it would make the build significantly more difficult. Plus if you are maintaining the same footprint you would have transformers and power supply mounted under the amp board - a great way to collect even more heat and keep it in the chassis.

JH13?

Sweet Jesus!

So I take it that it is not a noise you hear from the amp itself, but only from the headphones. Does touching your case at all affect the sound or its intensity? What is your grounding scheme for your XLRs and pot as well as your amp/psu boards ?

Is it sizzling, or a crackly static sound? Also what are your measurements for offset and balance?

Yeah, I keep checking for more too - just can't help myself (soz). Seems to have dried up for now.

JFunk, is that you?

Somebody needs their meds adjusted. Not naming names, though.

Looks great, Wachara! And you can say the white boards keep cooler than the coloured ones.

I used op27gpz. And are you saying your experience with the new khozmo is that they still crappy (it looks like the newr one from your pic). What issues are you experiencing?

This one looked really good... until I saw the price. Will try to find something similar under $100.

What kind of press, Joachim? Avoiding the expense of PEEKs seems worthwhile (apart from the torque discussion).

Stax USA (aka Yama) - very expensive...

even the 1486?

What did you use for shoulder washers for the 1486 and j79/k216? The aavid ones I am familiar with do not fit.

No, assuming everything is perfect and no fakes and proper resistors in the batteries. My view is that in the case of a T2 it is worth less partially assembled than the parts alone... troubleshooting could potentially take as long as the entire build if something is amiss... and I am guessing that almost complete chassis isn't plug'n play.

That fellow is also selling an "almost finished" T2 that appears to be from Lil Knight. If you do a search you will this was one of the chassis he had made (prior to stealing a bunch of peoples' money).

Your LEDs sounds fine. My recollection was that 3W was not mandatory, but I cannot recall for certain. Pretty sure some successfully used 1W in place of 3W (a search with "1W" should show you who).

Take a look at the for sale section...

You mean this one? http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Aavid-Thermalloy/530002B02500G/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMttgyDkZ5WiulSjpO3gDOKQKJpe3qO%2fNp8%3d The hole may not be big enough for Swt61 though...

Happy birthday, Purk!
