I'm sniping some starretts on ebay right now, but if I don't get one of those, I'll look into the Harbor Freight one. I do have one locally. I have that stepped drill bit set and it chatters like a bitch in my drill press. I already had an Irwin like the one on the left (no crap coating on it though), so I bought a set of Irwin from ebay and they work great. The HF are relegated to don't care duty now Just bought some 4-40, 6-32 and 8-32 bottom taps and one spiral from ebay. Great deal... 5 taps for $17 shipped. I had been looking at McMaster-Carr, MSC etc., but when you can get NOS ones for ~$2 each... heh. Oh, and I picked up some TapMagic from a local Grainger. First time I had been there and I'll have to go back. I had that weird feeling of kid in a candy store there. Wife will probably prefer if I stayed away.

Funny site that my brother sent a link to (for the bike one). I thought this one was good... Jeff and his magic spandex pants

It appears that Soniccraft's sale is over.

Soniccraft has a 20% sale going on right now (prp)

Has anyone tried emailing Cardas to see if they could provide a technical drawing? And yes, if Headroom would share, that would be great. Tangent doesn't happen to have these in his Eagle stuff does he (can't remember the link).

Happy Birthday Grahame!

It looks like a standard LM317/337 supply; not the OPA548 supply for the original Gilmore Dynamic on headwize. Its probably fine, but not quite as clean I would think.

I know I've seen it here before, but couldn't find it with a couple of searches. Someone told me to avoid the auto center punches at harbor freight and get one from ebay. I took a look on ebay, and see a number of $4.95 ones, plus some Starrett's that are going to go over $10 or $15. Any recommendations? Thanks, Chris

They may be getting close, at least to the LSJ74: The Burning Amp Festival- October 18th 2009 Sign ups - Page 4 - diyAudio

BTW, I just grabbed the link from Amazon, but don't know that they have the best pricing around.

Yeah, the helping hands that you normally buy suck. So does the magnifying lens. I still use my helping hands thingy occasionally, but normally just use my panavise circuit board holder (ebay). I also use an Optivisor: Amazon.com: Donegan OptiVisor Headband Magnifier 2 1/2X Magnification: Industrial & Scientific Mine is the highest magnification, which while fine for looking soldering joints over, etc., puts me too close into the work when soldering so I really should buy another lens for it (you can buy them separately). Good thing I like soldering fumes

DynaFET on your head... let me know how that works out

Anti-trust? With the previous administration that allowed among other things, AT&T?

From what I've read, in their past life of building power amps, they seemed to be garnering the same sort of reputation as Flame Phase Linear did...

A lot of those guys in the Valab thread seem to like distortion Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio - View Single Post - Valab NOS DAC - subjective listening and modifications, and confusing analog mods with digital (silver digital cables. ad nauseum). That and many simple NOS DACs roll off the high end, not unlike some of the tube amps that are or were popular supposedly do, such as the Doge and the Bada (IIRC).

I ordered some feet and cups as well. I knew it was Rick Roberts when I saw the SimplyPhysics link. Are they going out, or is he just liquidating older product? I don't think SimplyPhysics has been real active the last few years, but I could be wrong. I have one of their IsoDrives in one of my CD players and still like it.
