The Quad thread
Deepak, The guy I bought my Pass Aleph P pre from has a set of Aleph 2 monoblocks that he was also going to sell. He was very reputable, can give you his contact info if you like. He may still have them.

Part Sourcing Assistance/Advice Thread
Sure it isn't Lumberg? Looking them over, they do have receptacles with male pins, but not the same form factor. Kycon has some in the same form factor, but female pins. You couldn't switch it and the plug over?

i'm on a roll... the kgsshv
I'd forgotten Oki is (or bought) Metcal... those are nice. My Hakko works fine for me though. I have a 3.2mm chisel tip that I use for anything large, and for most desoldering chores.

^ don't forget to check on how may decades you need to run them in at 120dB before they are broken in as well, Steve...

Tweeter on speaker not working
Pics might help... I hope the wires are color coded or you marked which one went where. Helps to keep things in phase.

These don't meet many of your criteria, but I'll throw them out anyhow... Von Schweikert VR-33s. http://www.vonschweikert.com/techspecs/1.php I've had a pair of Von Schweikert VR-4 Gen IIs for a number of years and have been pleased with them. I wouldn't mind moving up in the line, but I can live with these. They are balanced, throw a huge soundstage with good imaging, and sound very good even when you aren't in the sweet spot. One advantage of the VR-33s is that they are designed to be placed close to the wall. Yes, they don't have a lot of wood, etc. which you had said you wanted, but for the reasons listed in the link above, the money has been put into the drivers and not the cabinet work (veneer, etc.). These are 50" tall, with the tweeter 37" off the ground, so should work well with the chair, etc. Just thought I'd throw those out there

These two would be good as well: wrench crimp (for RG174 coax) http://www.newark.com/trompeter-electronics/ubj26-5/rf-coaxial-bnc-bhd-jack-str-75ohm/dp/06C4325?Ntt=ubj26 solder http://www.newark.com/trompeter-electronics/ubj27/rf-coaxial-bnc-straight-75ohm-solder/dp/96B2669?Ntt=ubj27 both are insulated and rated for 4GHz

Group Build: Dynafet
Anything further from anyone? I haven't heard of anyone with the lil'knight GB boards discussing building those either. I may take another look at my previous GB boards (didn't buy any of the newer ones).
