Happy birthday, agile_one!
Happy Birthday Gene! It was great meeting you at CJ this year... definitely have to have a few beers sometime. Hope you have a great one!

Post the last thing you bought!
Since you hadn't been around this summer, we never got an update on how your riding/racing went? How many miles did you do this year?

What did you do today?
In general, the softer the seat, the worse the problem, particularly chafing. I ride a Brooks Pro saddle (for 37 years), which is simply a piece of tensioned leather, and have ridden it for 6+ hours in the past (far distant past) with just gym/running shorts and no sores. Not sure I would try that now, but I can ride it over an hour without using bike shorts and no real problems. As mentioned, biking underwear might be an option if you don't want to join the lycra crowd. It also depends on how upright you are sitting. Distributing your weight between your butt and your arms/hands will alleviate some of the butt pain (and possibly introduce wrist pain). Are these normal spin bikes (Schwinn whatever, or the like)?

pcb mounted sockets
I usually use strips of masking tape to hold stuff on the board while I solder.

Headphone suggestion?
Wow, OP got out of here alive... Re. the ATH ES7s, I bought a pair of them and they sounded so good I immediately returned them. I guess I could have asked "Will burn-in make me like these?", but I didn't...

Firstwatt F5: Why some people should not DIY
I thought digger had a larger hifi2000 case for sale, maybe a 4U or 5U... not sure if he sold it already or not.

Beyerdynamic T5p
I dunno. I had a pair of DT-880s for awhile; got em from jeff (VPI). Nice midrange. Yes, a bit bass shy, and a bit bright. But very clear. And very comfortable. They had a number of qualities that I preferred over say HD-650s. A lot of this postulating somewhat depends on the idea of a house sound. I'm not sure that all manufacturers have or attain one throughout their product line. And I agree with posty on the aardvark comment. Some of these threads start to take on the very qualities that we deem shovel worthy from others.

Adcom GFA-2 Amp Repair
The far right fuse looks a little different, but doesn't really mean anything. Saw one thread on diyaudio regarding these, something about loose RCA grounds: Seeking help- something caused HUGE noise - diyAudio Do you have a meter, but just not there? At a minimum I would check the DC offset on both inputs if you have access to a DMM. And I have gotten schematics for free from Adcom just by asking them via email (if it comes to that). EDIT: A bit of info in this thread as well (see post 34) http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/solid-state/56735-adcom-gfa535-bad-transformer-3.html And follow Doug's advice

Prototypers wanted
If I wanted to add a power indicator (LED), would it be best to power this from the heater supply, or from B+? I tried it with jumper clips from the heater supply and it worked fine. Kind of hard to tell when this is on or not, at least from a bit away from it.

Sounds good Doug. Did you flip the heater rectifiers so they are all lined up the same way (eliminates any chance of tabs shorting to one another)? Post a pick of the board layout if you want any other comments.
