  1. ^ Heh, had forgotten about that... the Critical Link fuse. Gotta be worth the upgrade right there, cuz its critical...
  2. PS Audio has historically been a bit thick on the BS.. enough so that I would be wary of anything from them. This upgrade may be legit, and I'm not saying that their products are junk; just that they have an interesting history. For example, they used to make stuff like power amps, but apparently they developed a reputation for blowing up, so now they make AC regenerators, which uses some of that technology.
  3. I would agree, but only looked at the offboard and was only looking at the TO-220 devices.
  4. Ooops, was looking at a A1468 datasheet. These are correct and are BCE pinout. I'll go back to sleep now...
  5. I always thought that you would compare that to what was heard in a hall with acoustic instruments. What I mean is something like an orchestra in the same hall that the recording was made in. My brother always uses a recording of the CSO (Bernstein/Shostakovich 1 and 7) as his reference, and I would have to agree with him. Of course this is relying on aural memory, but probably the best type of reference that you are going to get.
  6. I linked to this thread in a current thread about the Predator, so I think that is why he bumped it. Probably meant to post it in the current thread?
  7. Holy shit! Stay safe and hope you get your power back soon.
  8. Good thing to see some vendor info in this thread. I am looking for some IRF230s for my brother's amp, and here is what UTsource sent as far as a device picture: The markings on this don't look like any IRF I've seen... do these ring a bell with anyone else? I guess I'll have to go with Newark.
  9. Gawd, I luv me some RSA ad copy: Then of course, there's
  10. Happy Birthday!
  11. ^ I've only met Rob once (at CJ), but Ryan's portrayal seems accurate based on what I've seen.
  12. Ya think?
  13. N3erdling: still there. NoNoNoNoNoNo was pretty annoying, but probably had somewhat of a point. Thanks for bitch slapping the idiot with the "wut, 3K and 4K equipment isn't high-end enough for you?" Most of the rest of them are doing the old
  14. ^ Quite common. Last word is die. You should be able to piece the rest of it together
  15. That was a good read. Thanks for posting it.
  16. Yep. Way too early for snow, hope all of you get power back and dug out OK.
  17. ^ Nice solution... you're a lot better at cutting aluminum than I am
  18. Ran across a nice posting on transformer types and their advantages/disadvantages, and couldn't remember where I had seen it. A bit of searching found it, by Charles Hansen (Ayre): http://www.audioasylum.com/cgi/vt.mpl?f=amp&m=169363
  19. It's all about the motor anyhow. Bike (within reason) won't make that much difference until you're maybe at an elite level.
  20. Looks like he assumed 450v x .1 amp = 45W x 2 = 90W + 30V * 10A = 300W = 390VA
  21. You might see if your bike shop will swap saddles out for you, preferably at no charge, if you can't get comfortable on this one. Normally, more padding is a bad thing (on the saddle), and will make you less comfortable, but that is on a road bike where you might be less upright that on this bike. You may just need to ride more to get used to it, but I would mention it to the bike shop. I've ridden a Brooks Professional for almost 40 years (the same one ). Many people swear by Brooks, some swear at them. They are heavier than most (all?) of the Italian type plastic saddles, but normally very comfortable.
  22. ^ and particular reason you like these? They are less expensive, but also 85C, not 105C.
