Now now...

^ I'll have what he's having... Happy Birthday Sherwood!

Bolt Depot is another place to look for fasteners. Not sure what their export policy is.

Happy Birthday!

^ Well, they sure as hell will after that masterful post...

Thanks Todd! And of course this would have never happened on Posty's forum

Swenson's snubber is not in parallel with the rectifier diodes, but in parallel with the transformer secondary(ies) and is intended to damp transformer ringing.

nm EDIT: prediction seems to have been fulfilled

Have you ever looked at John Swenson's snubber for the transformer My link Not sure if this helps or not, different from the normal snubbers used on the diodes. I'll go back to sleep now

Clicking on Dusty's link results in this form (which is what I see when I send a PM):

Same as Andy... I don't think the new software allows multiple recipients...

Happy Birthday Doug!

Happy Birthday Doug!

Oh, you have that little voice too? Good luck!

Good news Al! Best wishes on her recovery!

Yeah. 2SC3381GR Caveat: Have not tested mine yet.

This is pretty insane... Downhill bike race in Chile

They had a group buy for those a year or so ago on diyaudio (2SJ109 / 2SK389) The received product could very well have been 2SC3381s...

^ Actually 10 for $15, and shipping is reasonable ($3/$4 IIRC to US). These are GR grade however. I bought some, but haven't tested them yet.

BB machine gun? My link

Dreadhead will laff his ass off at this, but a Japanese bike bell: Getting tired of yelling "on your left" on the rarer occasions that I am on a path...

How about a slider for "Moar bass" to "Dental drill"? But then you would actually have to know what the cans sound like since it is unlikely you could gather this info from the manufacturer's literature (assuming they have any).

^ Indeed

Took a quick look. Meh Sound Quality is divided up into Freq. Response, Sensitivity (?), THD (text isn't clear as it is labeled High THD?) and Impedance. I don't think Impedance really plays a roll in sound quality (unless your device pukes trying to drive it). Same with Sensitivity. Pretty useless IMHO.

Ehhh, the fucking death star strikes again... I had heard that Sprint was going to buy them. Can we say m-o-n-o-p-o-l-y?
