Homepage has always been empty. My normal link in whatever the URL bar at the top of Firefox is set to go to "http://www.head-case.org/forums". Starting sometime yesterday, this now is rerouted to www.Head-Case.org - The Front Page, which goes to the empty home page.

Yeah, he wasn't one of the ones I was paying attention to, but I'd have to agree. "I can hear so much air around Pigpen <gasp>"

^ Was only planning on doing one.

The Mouser BOM I got from Tom appears to have quantities to build two amps... two IECs, etc. Was this intentional or am I misreading things?

I wonder if you could "persuade" Aavid to either send you samples (was it 60 of them ), or sell them direct to you? I would guess your credentials are good enough that it might work. Heat sink producer Aavid Thermalloy - World Leader in Thermal Management

Hope all the dads had great a Father's Day!

Yeah, I saw that too... major wtf moment... someone uses an Apache on their demo rig, and its written up as if rsa was there. Not sure who had the rudi shit (moon?). Rudi was invited, as weil as sovkiller. Never saw qables stuff, so not sure where that was.

^ Me too.

Sony stuff sucks balls. Their really esoteric made in Japan maybe not, but the rest of it... pffft. As in Arthur? hehe

Like I'd know that Previous pic was '60s or maybe early '70s when I might have paid attention to them. Whitesnake?

I didn't guess on the first one, but no, don't know who this one is...

I used to prefer dealing with Digikey until a couple of years ago. Mouser has really stepped up their game.

Try TAW Electronics... they seem to have them, thought their search function is a bit wonky. Capacitors, Resistors, Connectors, LED, Varistors from WIMA, AOP, PIHER, NEMCO, FISHER, CAPAX, ARCO, SAURO, SFI If you go to the MKP10 section, try page 5.

I was always (well, at least as long as I've lived in Chicago and there was one around) partial to Edwardo's, but I prefer thin crust pizza. I really don't like Lou Malnati's, but have only eaten at the one in Naperville. There used to be a place downtown Naperville that had great deep dish and thin pizza; Leonardo's. Driven out like many downtown N'Ville in favor of national chains

You can run a BOM output (ULP IIRC) in Eagle... not sure how much this would help you as far as where things are (top or bottom).

I thought the Eagle files were around somewhere?

From my limited experience re. heat, my 2 ch Dynahi so far doesn't run very hot at all (biased at 75mA). It is built on hifi2000 pesante heatsinks (1 per channel). The sigma22 seems to run hotter than either amp channel does, though I haven't cased the whole thing up yet. Digger945 had his dynamite at CJ, and I didn't recall it seeming hot either? He can perhaps weigh in on this. I haven't heard either a beta22 or an M^3, so can't comment. Also haven't heard a DynaFET either.

I'd take a copy youngc1 at comcast dot net Thanks Pete!

^ And no Voltrons harmed in the process

How can you guarantee that the recording itself is in phase? And in phase with itself (i.e., every microphone or recording track with all others)? I guess I've never listened for it, and don't currently have any gear with a phase switch on it anyhow, other than my brother's Adcom CDP which I still have. Hmmmm.

All the providers have what is called asymmetrical service, hence the (much) lower upload speeds. They don't like talk of symmetrical service, though some do provide it at a much higher price. I don't believe current cable technologies can offer symmetrical service as their upstream bandwidth is more or less an afterthought.

I could be wrong, but viewing this as part of the recording chain: the microphone(s) pick up the sound waves and convert to an electrical representation, normally ~20-20KHz. From this point until the signal is reconverted back to sound waves, ideally that same flat 20-20KHz is maintained. As mentioned, most electronics are very flat (or can be); the microphone or any transducer won't be, but in general strives to be barring special circumstances. So, an amplifier or other electronic device that is not flat could be viewed as a tone control.

Congrats Stretch!
