Pars

Wait a minute! I'm bein framed here, I tell ya! It's actually ParMetals. MOT alert hereby cancelled.

I was planning on opening it up anyhow when I get it Just to look...

I'd agree with Nate. You can take the top/sides off a Par Metal case quite easily without disturbing anything and take a look to see what it is.

The other amp will not be at the meet, but everyone that wants to is invited over afterwards. Me, I'm going home... if I go at all. What happened to the normal shitstorm when someone is "excluded" from a HF meet? Such as a certain reks had happen a few years ago? Oh yeah, you would have to whine, etc. too get that going...

Speaking of which, a certain manufacturer is showing an amp after a HF meet this weekend...

Posted on that other site. Dremel tool set on Woot : One Day, One Deal (SM) today. I'm really tempted by this one as the only Dremel type tool I have is this cheap piece of crap from Harbor Freight. Too bad I bought that new car...

Yep. I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with the concession speech as well.

Yeah, audio pots typically don't like a bunch of DC on them. Non-oscillating = 0 Hz = DC. If your amp is DC coupled it likely will amplify DC. It may not like it much though, as I would think it is a very hefty duty cycle (100%)?

Nice meter, whatever it's for... and the rainbow cables have to be a big contributor to the essence. Props to the number of caps they stuffed in there. The stand up cards are interesting as they almost indicate future moar better pluggables?

FTFM

Ask KG... he would know.

Someplace like this American Science & Surplus : Search Results for "electromagnet"

Actually 7812s and 7912s. Looks identical to morphsci's. I'm going to leave his at 12V and do a 15V PSU for it, though the PSU can be dropped to 12V by pulling one resistor (R10), which will be socketed. Won't even overheat like a typical 317/337 would if you made it pull 3 volts more across the regulators. Thanks for looking and for taking the pics Hydro!

How'd you do that?

Next thing ya know he'll be looking for a mimeograph machine...

Stay safe man!

Mine are just a set of the ball allen wrenches. I don't even think it is the smallest size, and I got these either at an Ace Hardware or Home Depot / Lowes. Something like this (Lowes): 13-Piece Ball Plastic Handle Hex-Torx Key I have a couple of sets, both standard and metric. Damn handy as long as one of the kids hasn't run off with it The size you need for these is 1/16". The sets have a smaller one as well, 0.050".

I would think the biggest problem would be having 6 strands or so of 18ga wire (Jena, whatever ) going to a 30ga pin in a dock. That's just fucking stupid, or as Roam said over there: The stupid, it burns!!!

I sent an email to Monolithic Sound regarding a PSU they used to make, the MPS, for Audio Alchemy equipment. I was surprised to get a response from Dusty Vawter (CI Audio): I was having a hard time trying to correlate an original +/- 12V supply with 12V regulators as this wouldn't be enough to have them regulate. Original equipment of 9V regulators makes alot more sense. Hydrocity: Any chance you could look inside yours and see what is in there? I can give you the allen key size if you need it.

What's missing in the schematic? I assume this is the BH you are talking about?

Seems that all of us forget from time to time that "I don't know" is a perfectly valid answer...

Yes it would! Trying to find #&!*^ 0805s or their ilk after I drop them and they go under my workbench is a massive fail exercise. Strangely, both my kids liked doing SMT better than thru hole. A good pair of tweezers is invaluable as well (think I found the ones I use at one of the bead shops my wife frequents). Now there's a hobby

There was a reason I had a beard for 20+ years. Always loved that mothers cover
